Long Tempters Poems

God gives us joy* in our salvation’s excellence
Designed well along His wisdom’s prevalence
Rebuking the critics, putting them into shame’s silence…
Making us secured from sin’s penalty midst hell’s awful violence.
As His children, we experience His compassion...

(Dedicated to the memory of my mother Catherine who died June 3, 2011 and was 
buried June 24, 2011)


Sleep. Wake. Sleep
Sleep on empty stomach
Food and liquor make the journey
Eat, make Epicurus laugh double for once
Holiness!...

The Adversary

He watched them as day passed upon day, peering upon the intimate scene,
As God communed heart to heart, one on one with the woman and the man the only
Beings where his likeness and image...

I cannot tolerate the ones with haloed head
Who boast of their achievements, put on an act instead.
I cannot tolerate the perfect, always right
Who claim to love their neighbour omitting black or white.
I cannot tolerate the...

Along Your favor for my faithful cleaving
Subduing my pride and self-sufficiency’s vain striving...
While instructing me to offer to You my very best with sincere loving.
Always enable me to sacrifice...

Lots of twinkling stars rock my

When everyday life is overwhelming,
And you can't enjoy peace of mind,
If your faith in the Lord has started to abate,
From a world turning upside down,
When you don't nowhere to turn,
To ease the problems in your...

the evening shade
gave her smile
naughty
her makeup relaxed,
she sucked her
cigarette
blew me a hello and
fluttered elongated
fingers
her eyes penetrated
my skin with sensual
pinpricks
I lusted for her
body stuffed into
adventurous jeans
those elongated
fingers constantly
tried to rearrange
her clothes
slightly, red in the
face as I...

I was wallowing in weariness and woe,
Troubled, yet threading on thorns and thistle;
Crying in pains… I was caged in a cruel castle
The tempters’ team kept stepping on my tender toe.

I was lured to love the...

I can take it no more.
Caught in between longing, I cant believe 
whether it's a dejà vu or not. But what I know is that it is not
being what it was designed to be.
I now...

When element to element will mingle and reside
In perfumed consummation of interstellar space
In a new planet cast out of  Brahama’s  rage
For ever wishing my nibbled pen could...

Abide with me fast comes the night
The day is past and gone
Oousing shadow of evening comes
Darkness so deepen lord with me abide

Through the day you walk with me 
Your grace alone foils the tempters power
None...

Constant battles raging within
Masters fighting for my soul
Seeking forgiveness, chasing sin
A life spinning out of control

Creatures adorned with freewill
Christ or Satan, my only choice
Hearkening to the tempters trill
As I pray to hear my...

Where Eagles Soar

Flying far above the masses
In azured tinctured skies, 
They fly independently.
For that, is where true class 
lies!
They want no part of any
motley crew birds.

Just self-determined to fly as 
they choose to do.
Never bowing their glorious 
heads,
To seek...

Those who want me to try robbery
Can kick-start it with bribery
Or get ready for snobbery…

And I’ve fastened it on a Million Dollar
Plus a dozen shirt with Golden Collars…
Or my tempters for the  buzz off!
For...
