They say your eyes are the,
Doorway into your soul.
The glance across the room,
Warms your heart,
Dancing straight into your soul.
You have to take that leap of faith,
Glancing in their eyes showing,
The hunger that comes from,
Within their heart and soul.
Then you see the flashbacks,
Of a different time but it's still you and,
As always destiny is ever present.
Time heals the lonely heart whether,
It's in this time or whether it,
Was in your past life.
Your eyes will always give you away.
Your heart never lies.
Your soul is waiting because your,
Love will always be remembered,
Thru the centuries.
Take the plunge.
Take the chance.
Your heart and soul is ready,
To begin a new life and,
A new beginning.
Across the dance floor, your soft sashaying gown flew
with its bright waving gleams of silver dust and blue;
within that blessed gaze, lonesome heart jumped a beat
seeing those golden slippers on your dainty feet,
feeling love's welcomed arrows shot by Cupid's bow
knowing that most treasured gift would forever grow!
That cool June night we walked under golden moon's beams
with your heart and soul gifting love that so redeems;
this man that had lost heart and walked a blind path
death long ago condemned this soul to darkest wrath,
torn asunder joy in life that had been a gift
chained this spirit upon a black-ship set adrift!
Loss of my beloved I once lived blind despair
wading through this evil world's black pits without care;
her sweet love reminding me of Hope that was lost,
found anew when your destined path with mine was crossed.
I saw the world with open eyes but could not see
Faith, till sight was laid upon fair beauty of thee...
Your rosy warmth danced with grace thawing my cold heart,
seduced by rousing rhythm never would we part.
My heart began to waltz and pallid pulse did race
as I saw charmed moonlight caress your angel’s face,
I longed forevermore to tilt your chin and kiss
your promising sunrise lips of heavenly bliss.
That early summer’s eve I took a leap of faith
willing to let go of my haunting lost love wraith,
I found with you the heart to fall in love once more
and glissade you in my arms ‘cross life’s ballroom floor.
Alone in love’s spotlight of golden moon beam’s glow
you have my whole attention for you stole the show.

The Reality
As I look around, all I see is that
A storm has struck the ground;
And it's causing havoc all around.
Major issues within our country,
Like the officers that were meant to protect us,
Are too busy trying to judge us.
The innocent fall empty handed,
To a gun in the protector’s hand.
Due to prejudice, an officer responsible
Can get off with little consequence.
Now let’s look at the world of politics.
I understand that we all have different opinions
And that’s a good thing.
However, that doesn’t mean
We have the right to point fingers and criticize.
We say “United We Stand”,
Yet we have two parties with opposite plans.
President Lincoln said;
“A nation divided against itself cannot stand.”
The time has come for the kingdom to come to life.
Step up to the plate and take a leap of faith,
Be a catalyst for change, like a hurricane.
Rebuild a nation from the root
And lay down a kingdom foundation.
Start at the heart of the problem,
And work for a solution;
That will spark the kingdom revolution.
We need to call in Handy Manny,
And maybe Bob the Builder can lend a hand.
Spread his word like a virus
Praying that others find it,
The treasure worth seeking, a life worth living,
A father worthy of our reflection.
Rebuild our nation for the king,
Wake us up from a night time dream.
Some may see us as sleepers,
But our father calls us dreamers,
And we’re just now realizing
Our role in his kingdom.
She was of this rich
earth and clay
a beautiful lass so full of life
and so wont at play
who used to water ski
in Turtle Bay
At Carnival time
costume in hand
marched and danced she
in a masquerade band
till midnight and Las Lap’s
last stand
The year was
nineteen fifty-three
when down the aisle walked
in grace and beauty
my future mother
and bride to be
A Catholic girl
whose love was true
torn between the man she loved
and faith she knew
but followed her heart
and said “I do!”
Was a leap of faith
and leap of fate
to stay all the raging madness
and mayhem at our gate
or leave Trinidad
before it’s too late
Her island home
for us all gave up
and of life’s bittersweet wine
drank from its cup
but a poisoned chalice
she did sup
She was an abider
of all that’s good
who raised us in the cares
and joys of motherhood
in the devotions for which
she stood
Whom taught me
in the ways of love
and edified the outcast soul
in me to rise above
when all our lives
she was a part of
The breast that
suckled life in arms
alas needed life’s healing salves
and curing balms
yet bravely you fought
all its harms
Now it’s been
twoscore years gone
since God among His saints
counted you as one
and a darkness this world
fell upon!

There is you then there is me
Together we should be
The arithmetic of love
2 is one when we
Your smile and your grace
My new found happy place
We don’t have to be a item
Having a friend that’s so great
I feel I found a counter part
Someone to reciprocate
Our paths crossed not by coincidence
I believe it’s fate
When you’re around it’s like your energy changes the climate
I feel my vibe rise, to an unfamiliar high rate
Heart beating out my chest I feel my body vibrate
You’re my good luck charm
I’m ready to raise the stakes
This chance if I don’t take
Would be my life’s biggest mistake
That’s why I’m competing for your heart
Like it was a race
U make me feel invincible
I’ll only accept first place
I’ll go with you anywhere
Especially your birth place
There’s so many girls who want to be in your place
Jealous cuz I only want to be in your face
When we held hands
I knew it wasn’t fake
Still me smile thinking bout the looks on people’s face
I hope you’ll join me while I take this leap of faith
Hopefully one day Ill see how your lips taste
While I pull you in close
A warm embrace
I fantasize about grabbing the small of your waist
If I can’t have you I’ll feel like I’m in last place
The thought of it makes me feel like I’m in my last days
a woman with a hemorrhaging problem went to see the Lord Jesus Christ
she believed that if she could only touch Him, it would save her life
as Jesus passed by the crowd she reached out and touched His hem
she was miraculously healed, the flow of blood did stem
physically, morally and emotionally she'd been condemned by her own peers
instead of praying for her to heal, the prayed for her to disappear
for misery loves company and with some people you will find
that even though they say they are Christians, they don't possess God's Kind
yes, life can sometimes be anxious, depressing and knock you to the ground
it can be tedious and routine, making you feel run down
yet when things happen over which we have no control
allow God to order your steps and with the Holy Spirit achieve you goals
just break out of your rut and go forward in your life
take a leap of faith today and catch the wave that is Jesus Christ
after that woman touched Jesus' robe she then attempted to hide
then Jesus said,"who touched me", for the power in Him did subside
that woman then stood up confessed to all and told Jesus why
He said to her,"your faith has healed you, go in peace" with God's prize
what a catch she made that day, it was a wave of faith
what a catch she made that day for on God she did await
her story has been passed on down, it's an example of unconditional belief
that if one lets God into their life through Him comes healing and relief
allow yourself to cleansed, wade in the water of God's tide
catch the wave of faith and then hold on for the ride
call on your determination to be your salvation and your inspiration
and whenever you call on Jesus Christ the power in Him will leave
and continue on to a place where there is a need
what a catch, what a catch, now healed and of good cheer
her faith in God has made her whole, her burden she no longer has to bear
Drowning in pool of regrets, some steps are to be taken, draw closer there's a marathon in my heart, betrayal and scheming have ravaged my soft layers, floating here, gulping for survival, my deepest regret, and I went in with eternity and came back with not only scratched face but dripping heart, a limping soul
Something devastating unearthed my roots to busk and dry for the world to see and scrutinize my frail scavanged and tattered self, from a self inflicted compassion for takers, whom intentions were to burn down to ashes my generousity and free spirited heart
Might as well watch as the last effort of loving unconditionally engulf and just drag my coffin body to the nearest cementry, maybe the grave might echoe my last selfless days on earth as hymn to ascend my soul to the heavens
Pause! take a deep breath, such are regrets clouding and flooding my mind, lessons not defeats, and my inner voice say, pass me my walking stick, I'm taking the leap of faith to soldier on not yesterday happened not fixed to it, in this a decision is made, to pull myself and dust off from this pit of regrets and wait for the sun to set its rays again to my face, to my hope and to my purpose

Extinction
The Dodo lived happily on Mother Earth in tune with her heart and the world keeps on turning in search for food , nature does as nature does , a means to survive on the Island of the Dodo the island of of Mauritius ...The Albatross of the seas the guardians of sails , the sirens of a storm and the world keeps on turning in the winds of dis-ease and in the end the Dodo is no more and the Albatross sets sail for war ...
Dodo
Dross Oh Dross the Dodo sang to the Albatross
the spider caught an ant , the Blackbird in the garden found an early worm ,
Tom was on the kitchen prowel crouching very low , a mouse amongst the long grass twitches his fearful nose
Above the eye
An Eagle Spies
Comes into swoop
Drat Drat the Dodo sang to the Albatross
the spider caught an ant , the Blackbird in the garden found an early worm ..
Tom was on the kitchen prowl crouching very low , a mouse amongst the long grass twitches his fearful nose
Above the eye
An Eagle Spies
Comes into swoop
mouse takes a leap of faith
Caught in Tom's sabre tooth.
It takes a lot of courage
for a man to ask you out
It takes a lot of courage
and our heart goes on the line
yet do not drag your feet my friend
but take a leap of faith
take the chance to ask her out
don't waste your time with doubt
We dream of love
we seek it's need
we see it written
in our dreams
with envy look around you
and feel the dreams you miss
a simple step not taken
can leave you in this mess
don't let your fear control your life
but step up to the plate
accept what fate has written
what ever is your fate
Sometimes we ask the answer
a hard resounding no
sometimes we ask the answer
will be the dreams we share
We have a right to ask my friend
she has the right to answer
she has a right to rule her life
respect is gained with what we know
Sometimes in life we dream about
a girl that's just not into you
sometimes in life we dream about
a girl that loves you for yourself
The simple fact my little friend
their's someone waiting in the end
their's someone, in this world of joy
that see's you as thier loving boy
don't waste your time on anger
don't waste your time on wrong
but simply take a roving look
and find your love an open book
If she dreams another man
then yes it's time to walk
don't waste your time on anger
become the better man
and find a life worth living
the future's in your hands
there's someone out thier waiting
go build a better plan
To many take the path that's wrong
and hurt the one's they loved
in grief their anger builds from pain
and hurts the one they loved today
but if they simply walked away
they'd live to love another day
yes pain from loss will be your friend
but you will make it in the end
And in the path laid out in front of my feet.
I could see though long it had many turns for me to meet.
Parts thin and long where patience would I seek.
Parts spinning round where mistakes I make I would greet.
Parts where no way was there. Needing perhaps a leap of faith or even blind trust I’d bear.
Parts burning in fire where I must dare.
On the other side now aged, battered and worn.
I must not subside to sorrows that I have born.
I must take the way and face the turns.
I must see the light and feel the burns.
I must not give my life to worry and despair.
I must walk alone in the dark and know I’m
there.
Until the light in my eyes decides to kill its flame.
I must walk in life and find the strength to care and remain.
