Whisper whisper in the night
Hold your lover oh so tight
If in the morn she is gone
Somehow you must carry on

Secrets secrets lovers share
her eyes covered by long hair
Do you know her you think so
Pleasured moments taken slow

Questions questions where did she go
Answers not found you do not know
She disappeared before daylight
Why has your angel taken flight

Sorrow sorrow deep in your soul
Where she once lived there is a hole
You wonder did she ever care
as you sit and mournfully stare

Shouting shouting to the sky
Tears erupting from each eye
How could the heavens be so cruel
Perhaps you're just a lonely fool

Waiting waiting is it true
Will there be a lover new
Can you trust her you hope so
a new person you don't know

Smiling smiling ear to ear
Your soul mate is finally here
Holding her close but not so tight
You have no fear that she'll take flight

Hours hours become years
Happiness grew from your tears
Kisses hugs a love that's true
She's the perfect one for you

Moments moments children two
Parents now but not a clue
Twins a gift for lovers to share
You are such a happy pair

Godliness Within

I'm so perplexed, so perplexed

Did I just send that nasty text?

I’m so bewildered, bewildered…

I hung out with the wrong herd



I need tons of godliness

I need some gladness

I need some happiness

I need to make progress



I want to do the impossible

Please love me till I am able

I need your glorious, gracious godliness

Need many, many traits of righteousness



Christ, come now

I need You somehow

I need that Kingdom of God

Yes, I vertically nod…nod…



I need tons of godliness

I need some gladness

I need some happiness

I need to make progress



I want to do the impossible

Please love me till I am able

I need your glorious, gracious godliness

Need many, many traits of righteousness



I’m so lost without You near

I’m so lost and I am in fear

Give me endless cheer

Wipe away my tears

I’ve been lost for years

Hold on to me, my dear

I’m so alarmed, but I need to be brave

I’m so alert and aware – I need to behave



I need tons of godliness

I need some gladness

I need some happiness

I need to make progress



I want to do the impossible

Please love me till I am able

I need your glorious, gracious godliness

Need many, many traits of righteousness



I need Your Spirit of grand, pure hope

Your beautiful soul is glowing so dazzlingly 

I am slowly hanging on my very last rope

Take me far, far away from mere captivity

O' My Youth

Gone! 
Taken in the night
Stolen, stripped, usurped
What word could describe this treachery 
Oh Yes, the warnings came
But I never considered the possibility 
That it could be lost while held so tight
Even as I closed my eyes it was there
The thief, I'm sure, is most pleased
How cruel can one stranger be
How cruel of life
That other wise I wouldn't know
If not for when I stand
My back and knees say so

There are those I suspect of this heinousness
The new kids at work, it seems 
With all the pep that I once possessed
Surely it was them!
But could it be, my own children?
After all, They did at first insist
With their music screaming
And me complaining
Turn it down, It's too loud!

Where is that wisdom that I've heard
That comes from all the things we've seen
Foul! this thief made off with that
I'm just as simple as I ever been
Except, now I don't recover as well
From slips and trips and stairs and steps
And I hear it's only going to get worse
Say the folks that had warned me first
And as for the years I watch 
Will keep on coming 
Just like a thief

Premium Member A Baby In Heaven

A giggle Land where we cannot go.
0f pink fingers and crystal clear eyes
Forever azure springs and sunlit skies,
A place of talcum  powdred .souls.

Unaware , from this life, they were  taken
God did create this oh , so special place.
Angels never let them knoew they were forsaken.
To keep a smile on their dear, tender infant faces.

Squeaky  toys and cuddly, soft teddy bears
Angel mothers do lullaby each newborn to sleep.
One day, with their Mommy,~ they  might share
Meanwhile, in the still of the night, mothers weep.

Sleepless, they wonder, how is my child doing?
Their life always has a lost, dark empty space.
Does my baby need me, or is he just cooing?
The mother can ask for forgives and God’s grace.

But she wonders,very often what ‘s my baby playing?
You see, that is the story we are never told.
On her knees alone, each night, she is praying.
The Mother ages, lonely, shivering in the moonlit cold!

Dedicated to my Mother on her birthday., today.
Thank you , Mom, for allowing me to have a life!
Sometimes hard, but mostly years of sugar and 
magificent spice!

Premium Member A Silly Old Love Song

A silly old love song
From a few years ago
Touched every fiber
Of my inner soul

It described with passion
How I felt at the time
Things couldn't be better
Everything was in rhyme

But time isn't constant
Things start to change
Roles get reversed
And our life rearranged

The flame starts to flicker
Then darkness inside
Again we start searching
For that magical ride 

Uncertainty reigns
Our confidence shattered
Things once important
No longer mattered

Until that new day
When we feel it once more
That touching of hearts
Spirits that soar

A silly old love song
From a few years ago
Once more touches
My innermost soul

Premium Member On My Way To School

I din't travel by bus to school 
Neither did my mother drive  me there
With my friends and cousins
I had the best of childhood fun
During my primary school days
On my  way to school 

Early start from home
The tropical sun was warm
Kids from the neighborhood 
Joined  as we marched by
To feel the magic of the forest
On my  way to school 

Avoiding the main road
And the cobbled village lane
Away from the adult eyes 
Swayed by the occult cries
Of the magic creepy crawlies
On my  way to school 

Shuffling through the silky webs
Of the watchful Arachno- spies
Slowing at the sight of scorpions 
And the scurrying  beetles and centipedes
We bent and crawled  in the woods 
On our  way to school

The subtle sweet taste 
Of the wild cardamoms
Was hardly enough to suck 
and spit the pungent seeds
Yet it was a weird delicacy 
On my way to school 

Shiny purple Passion fruits 
Velvety blue wild olives
Inky violet Bovitiyas
Rasamora  and blackberries 
Stimulated the taste buds
On my way to school

The years have gone by
Dwellings have reached the sky
Cobbled lane has disappeared 
Motor cars are revered 
I wander what the kids do now
On their way to school

Premium Member The Sacred Child

The sacred child on the hill

Buried deep but never forgotten

River of tears

Washed along into an ocean of deep longing

Years pass by

The girl becomes the woman

Relationships begin and end

Happiness brings a new journey

A baby in the making

Driving out old thoughts

Touching her stomach in repentant hope

Sadly, hope dies in the womb

Guilt turns to punishment from above

The sacred child on the hill

Watches the figure coming towards her

Slowly entering the river

Washed along into an ocean of deep longing

The sacred child on the hill

Reunited for evermore..

Premium Member Cyborg Dogs

In a desperate world
Where man is hated
This fur clad woman
Her cyborg pack created

Silvered dogs
Mechanical teeth
Squatting like humans
Engineered breed

She stands there proud
Holding her sword of MacBeth
Forwarding her packs
To hunt for death

The earth now barren
Stripped and bare
Skulls and bones
Lie everywhere

Even the sky
Refuses to come out at night
Even the sun
Refuses to burn bright

This once beautiful planet
Now rancid and wretched
With this fur clad woman
As her cyborg dogs fetch

Who would have thought of man
To be treated like this
For thousands of years
They had already lived like this

Premium Member Redemption Applied On My Spiritual Mirror

Right from my earliest years
the thought of God was there
thinking much of how I came to be
into this world showing your care

I always believed in you O God
You the divine being mighty is He
learning continually from your word
in this I read wholeheartedly I did agree

Read deep spiritual scriptural truth
many years later I saw your light
showed me my sin there since birth
your remedy of repentance for my plight

That crack in my mirror
showed up all of my sins
suddenly realised my need
redemption applied now wins

I came running to you Lord
received in your arms so warm
felt safe secure and satisfied
you are my God true to form

Now every day you teach me
your great truth more and more
learning to obey kneeling in prayer
seeking your face knowing your door

Yawning All Morning

Millie Brown was 12 years old.
Who didn’t like to do as she was told.
She didn’t eat her greens or even brush her hair,
As she’d spend all day sat in her gaming chair.

Oh how she loved video games – all she’d do is play
Every sort of video game every single day.
Not only did she play all day, she’d also play games at night
Hour after hour she played until the morning light.

Her brother played with his bogies, but to her that was not such fun
All Millie wanted to do was play her games until she had won.
She’d play online until she was the number 1; the absolute best
She had to make sure that she was better than all the rest.

Millie Brown was great at video games but not so hot in school
She proceeded to fall asleep in class - her mouth dripping full of drool.
“Millie Brown”, her teacher roared! “You’ve been yawning all morning”
Millie woke with a jolt to the sound of her teacher giving her this warning.
“I’m letting your parents know that you really need to go to bed
If you cannot stay awake in class then I’ll have to keep you back instead”.

It will be detention instead of games for you indeed Miss Millie Brown
Her teacher rambled on with his warning (his face wearing a frown) 
“Please Sir”, Millie Brown cried, “Please don’t tell my dad”
“He’ll take away my games and then I’ll be really sad”.

“I’ll change my ways and from now on and I’ll not be so silly,
I’ll only play a little and ensure I go to sleep” promised Millie
“I know what I need to do and I know it’s for the best
I’ll stay awake in class because I’ll have had plenty of rest”.

So Millie Brown now only played her games a little at a time
She did as she was told and she began to tow the line.
She ate her greens and even brushed her hair,
Because she wasn’t always playing games, sat in her gaming chair.
