Peonies

Love flushes through the air, smiles and affection flowing the air
The Sakura-fubuki petals flowing through the skies and ground, like family to each other with laughter and ignorance

I wanted to be free just like the blossoms and dandelions or be sharp as roses being pampered and cared for, rather than as a decoration and having my petals flown around forcibly 

Everyone's love and freedom gushes freely while I'm stuck with weddings being cherishe,  being thrown away and stomped on without the pampered actions of a rose

Thrown and beaten, day by day waiting the days I'll be free
I'll stay as the flowers overlooked by others or rather picked in weddings to be ruined of my beauty 

One day, I will be treated equally and be used as petals flowing freely,  pampered like roses, and free from the hatred of my stem


Glow

Glow
I can only make you happy
When I act a little dumb
When I don’t express my feelings
You prefer me to be numb
So your stinging shouldn’t sting me
And your scoffing too is fair
My defense and my rebuttal
You don’t hear them, you don’t care
You just use me as a mirror
You decide what I reflect
Always mimicking my merits
Even though there’s no respect
Always taking, never giving
And your ignorance is real
Without light, there’s no reflection
There’s no beauty, no appeal
And the light is what you’re missing
You’re not happy, and I know
I’ll endure so you’ll keep shining
Though it’s just a silly glow.

Silent Abuse

Please explain to me why those beatings survived,
Remembering the fear and terror in their eyes,
And being a child there was nothing I could do,
Except taught him towards me instead of you,
Even the church people sat in number and watched the horror of his abuse,
They sat and did nothing and just watched from the pews,
I thought at least one would stand up or call the police,
Yet they all turned their heads from my brothers and sister and me,
As if they didn't see the violence of a 5 year old being thrown up against a wall,
And dragged down the aisle in front of them all,
Those days haunt me and that was the day,
I lost faith in the church and some of they're phony ways,
I thought how could they preach love and do nothing at all,
And just ignore all the abuse of a child they just saw,
After that I vowed to God in silence that I would fight like hell,
That I would become just the opposite and protect my children as well,
All it took was the ignorance of a congregation who decided to turn a blind eye,
That ignited my heart to stand against even the crowd and changed my entire life,

Strangers We Were

Strangers we were 

We may have never met,
Strangers by creed and tribe,
Separated by walls of ignorance,
By cacoons intricately woven to hide from knowlege,
They say ignorance is bliss,
What is bliss if its  not knowing?

So l have made a commitment to know and 
To accept that what l do not know can be known,
So l have sharpened my inquisitive weapon,
Ready to ravage through the works of greatmen,
Searching for that which made them restless,
With pen and paper imortalizing ideas and opinions,
I am a writer and l will write what l like!

Stories and yarns of my heart,
Philosophies and wisdom of my forefathers,
Fears protruding like knives from my unsettled mind,
Sorrows and dissapointments as vast as the sea,
Happy moments relished and cherished forever,
Harnessing what the universe has in store for me,
We are no longer strangers because we met on this book,
For in books strangers can meet,just like we mate 
Distillation and synthesis of ideas,
Great minds converging for intellectual enquiry,
For writing is a calling for the restless minded.

March 12 Faith in God Bible Meditations Based on Joshua 5-8 

Key Verse – Joshua 5:6 … Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
	
FAITH IN GOD WHO WARNS US AGAINST DISOBEDIENCE	

God warns us against disobedience and rebellious action…
Thus, by faith, we must dwell in His sanctification
Never allowing ourselves to be buried in filthiness’ corruption
As we stay in His fortress of salvation’s protection. 

God warns us against disobedience and foolish ignorance…
Thus, by faith, we must seek His wise deliverance
Never forsaking His Word of truth-endurance
As we experience the joy of His redemption-assurance. 

God warns us against disobedience and stubborn fight…
Thus, by faith, we depend on His valour’s might
Never relying on our own strength of carnal blight
As we walk in His light with trust-delight. 

God warns us against disobedience and proud selfishness…
Thus, by faith, we must repent from vain haughtiness
Never ceasing to pray, calling unto Him with earnestness
As we draw to Him always, clinging to His graciousness. 

God warns us against disobedience and insincere worship…
Thus, by faith, we must respond to His loving relationship
Never forsaking His invitation for fellowship
As we submit to His sovereign caring leadership. 

God warns us against disobedience and hypocrite humility…
Thus, by faith, we must follow His authority
Never doubting His promises of great certainty
As we serve Him wholeheartedly with all honesty. 

God warns us against disobedience and worldly engagement…
Thus, by faith, we must involve in His kingdom advancement
Never compromising with the enemies of destructive allurement
As we focus on His work along great commission’s fulfillment.

Premium Member -THE REAL YOU -POTD


How difficult it must be
When no-one can see
The real YOU….

Your body the world views
Is not who lies within
Trapped in the wrong body
Trapped in your own skin

Feeling ‘not right’ in your body
Never understanding why
From your life’s beginning
Daily struggles inside

Every human has the basic right in life
To be their true ME
So changing your gender
Gives you wings to set YOU free

Your bravery is admirable
Making the changes you need
In the face of ignorance and judgement
YOU are determined to be freed

Hold your head high
Walk this world with pride
Be YOU without shame
No longer shall you hide!

How difficult  it must be
When no-one can see
The real YOU!

Premium Member Art Lesson

Whites calling Blacks coloured
Has never sat right with me
Plodding arrogant ignorance
In spite of realities that be

A quick spin on the colour wheel
Will help you see the light
Black is the absence of colour
All colours combined make white

When you paint the people you meet
Might I suggest a dab of zinc white*
This when your mind is pliable
True colours will always shine bright




* Zinc White is a highly translucent pigment, an artist's trick is to add a bit of       
   zinc white to keep a paint's colour as bright when dry as when wet.

Premium Member Shape Shifting Soul Premier contest 1

The songs I sang in my lives before,
still I hear sometimes in my dreams,
the silence I know from times past,
had voices that once spoke to my soul,
the tears are memories that rain through,
but the sadness they were shed for is long gone,
I am an existence on the merit of 
this moment’s breath, and the next and
next till it stops. Who am I to ask for my past,
or barter the present for an unknown future?
I know I am the same as you 
and you are the same as the other one 
and so on!
that distant star is our cousin and many
such cousins of star dusts that surround us.
no one heard the first blast of creation
nor the silence that was before…
our absolute reality is that we are all 
part of the same, and more we think
ourselves different and apart,
farther the truth gets away from us.
I always was, I always will be,
and my existence as this body is a whim of nature,
and I want no ownership of it!
let not ignorance tether me to this body.
when I become one with all,
I am eternity.

Sonnet 9: Populace of the Mace

The day was when the crowd came out in a massive drive for the old elephant.
The graveyard was the last day of this red associate; however, they did not lie down!
Becoming a goldened tusk with ivory and diamonds, they become the shrine of the elephant!
All the populace around the waterhole went into the small town without backing down!

Moving through the small grid to the street of many walkers, the group was on arms.
An immature girl was asked about her presence, to which she stated “that it was a revolution” 
These arms were a sight of pure ignorance that the past members of truth would rather stay on the farms!
Human growth is notable when each new generation fares better than the last; however, this girl was a product of de-evolution.

Hark to the fools who believe in stupidity and the false words of a toothless chia pet!
Words of honor have never passed the lips of the annoying orange!
It is time to take this person for a check-up to the vet!
You had the world of fools believing in your words! You are beyond an annoying orange!

Was Nostradamus talking about the 20th Century?
Maybe he was speaking about the 21st Century!

Silver-Lining

SILVER-LINING

Cheated life occasionally yet it couldn't play even. 
In life's sequel, I'm swivelled into a deep sweven.

Where's conventionality in a cosmos that's so odd? 
Everyone that ever rocked my world
I've dexterously dovetailed into words;
Lyric, ballad, elegy or love sonnet occupies 2-thirds. 

Every single trusted love I've ever lost
and that ignorance had collaborated with lust, 
I've resuscitated in verse, stanzas & enjambment;
And ameliorated into memory or emotional strength. 
Bathed in past disconsolation and the aftermath, 
I've never & will never remain on the same wavelength.
