A thousand fair suitors all stab at your heart,
those poets of movement and jockeys of art.
The high-volume vendors who hustle romance,
splashing their canvas with color and dance.
The blasters of trumpets, gold banners unfurled,
they offer lush gardens in glistening worlds;
yes, bearers of torches and carvers of stone
who whisper their sonnets and surrender their thrones.
There in your doorway, no shadow is cast,
no lingering voices, no ghosts from the past.
Just a cluster of walls and a window of pain
collecting the heartaches like droplets of rain.
Still I stand before you with palms to the sky,
no gold in my pocket, no position high;
and all I can offer where words have no place
is a heart that is true and this love that awaits.
Life is a one time offer
Use it well to your advantage
Be an example to do good to others
In doing business, act with fairness
Extend help in times of calamity
Never become rich in the usury of others
Give love with a compassionate heart
Help those who cannot help themselves
Never be enamored of things temporal
Seek things which leads you to eternal joy
Live life that is fulfilling to the soul.
Do you understand what becomes of me
when you give your love like an offer?
Unbeknownst to you this attachment feeds
standing now at the height of my father
How I fear you see the epitome
of rejection in my stature
Whether spoken or surreptitious be
I have given all to your nature
c o n t r a c t
on the table; ink is full
in the pen.
a deal so enticing,
impossible
to refuse.
I sprinkled on top
my r u i n o u s offer
generously
with brown sugar,
then glazed it
with honey.
c a l a m i t y be damned...
a sweet tooth -
after a r o l l e r - c o a s t e r of emotions -
took a bite;
'twas only
a matter of time.
I bring my
cloudy head
to offer you a
dream...
I bring my windy feet
to give you the world...
I bring my soul
still virgin to
give you
in marriage
in the stars...
do you accept...!?
The Offer
making
me an offer
I can’t refuse. Telling me
how much you love me so that I
won’t leave.

Eating nice foodies,
Seeing, roaming nice places,
Philippines goodies.
O’ I offer up myself;
To receive the will of my Father;
I offer up my life, my breath;
To be a living sacrifice;
The will of God the Lord has told you what is good;
The will of the Lord;
God has been ever so, so good;
The will of God in my life;
What he requires of me;
My Lord has granted me mercy;
What He asks of me;
Is that I walk humbly;

Ref :Micah 6:8
I have nothing to offer
Except this small heart of mine.
You come with laughter.
I have a past much maligned.
You come with true stories
And many talkative siblings.
I have few good memories
But a face that’s serene.
Interesting things about the world
I remember very well.
If it’s not a bother
I will teach instead of tell.
China offers infrastructures,
India offers agricultural projects,
and Russia offers security to Africa
and you, in Europe, offer homosexuality.
Quote by Jean-Luc Melenchon.
On this planet earth
many people hate
to hear the truth
because they can not bear
it into their hearts.
Speaking the truth
Does not mean gossip.
a person who loves you
tell you the truth daily.
If you mean to
love some people
and offer them
homosexuality.
They refuse your
offer as it is against
their culture and
laws of Yahweh.
You then force them
to give you mineral
resources in retain.
They raise objections to that.
You later sanction them
for refusing the so called offer
which is mix poison in their
understandings.
Do you really love them?
Some African countries are under sanctions
Of USA and European Union
Because of refusing homosexuality
in their countries
Can Africans keep silent?
Someone who offers nothing
Forces to collect huge thing
In business of win win.
Injustice has no clean
doors in the world.

my animus physical
psychic intrinsic power
Herculean strength of my love
I have for you dear woman !
Like art, hope is the cradle of life
with zeal, this cruel world
from frustration, our haunting zones
ours' are tormenting chapters untold
when tomorrow has nothing to offer
while soothing music shadow all the misery
And alarmingly ours to perish
mother nature's angry fumes
her rage great and highly infectious
without hope, fading of tomorrow's blossom
despair in rise....clued
into tomorrow's uncertainty
such haunting, I reluctantly quit
In finality, my pen bleeds
I shall feign the smile...you perport
as I ponder of a blank future, I dare quit
Don’t offer me a prescription.
For my problems or my pain
Just let me take my shoes off
And go walking in the rain
Don’t give me no advice
From your theories obsolete
Just let me feel the “BIG BANG”
From my head down to my feet
Don’t share with me your "TALL TALES"
About how you survived the night
Just let me say at the end of the day
That “I'M REALLY DOING ALRIGHT”
Circa 1990’s
The sun sheds light
energizing all
planet... Holy inheritance
of god...
The moon unfolds love
in divine silver rays
sprinkles all the nectar on us...
The river flows taking all life
unfolded in its bulge...
It looks equal a seeder
of the fields of happiness..
In the plantations of the sea
the harvest of fruits -fishes,
offers to mankind party
permanent... !
