A Second Portion of What's Not There
A heart's silent scream,
Yearning for the ghost of hope,
Each dawn brings despair.
Shadows weave around,
Promises of what could be,
Yet they fade like mist.
Ripples on still lakes,
Memories whisper my name,
But never reply.
Time's cruel embrace tight,
Days stretch, heavy

Portion of Beauty
Your beauty I am astounded as if sun rise sky
A soft voice, tender smile filled enticing enthusiast
Behind it, I can feel vibes of a good soul
My words twisted like two entangled breathless
I speak them many times, over and over
How this suppose play out in real world
Romanticism between souls as

You are my portion
I lay at your feet -
I cry mercy Lord, mercy;
and you hold me fast.
For in Christ I die,
and yet, it comes as it may,
that in Christ I live.
I smell this portion -
of oil anointing my hands.
Oh praise be to God!

The Lord Is My Portion - Lamentations 3: 24
In all of life's challenges aplenty
there is one source of conviction
a deep-filled knowledge of God
to hold you together is no fiction
Be aware of satan's devilish lies
stand firm with God's holy book
holding fast to your Lord alone
know His peace and presence is no fluke
Never listen to the worldly voices
that try to tempt you away
you know that

My Portion
Lamentations 3:24 (KJV) “The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.”
Stir the flames of praise inside my heart, where I know
Rhythms of hope, faith and love
Beating out a pulse, measures of light
Falling gentle across the spirit, across the believing …
This is my destiny, my fortune and fate,
Forever praising the

Heavenly Portion
Happy the celestial spark which does not blossom in an impure body corrupted by the vanities of this World.
It remains pure and luminous, escaping defilements and harmful influences, which can tarnish the vital essence of any human being.
Her flame shines brightly, radiating goodness, wisdom and love around her.
Like a precious jewel, it

The Lord Is My Portion - Psalm 119: 57-64
What a blessed privilege to know
that I have a portion which is the Lord
the best part I could ever truly have
for He gives me His mighty strong sword
This sword is His mighty inerrant word
my life is secure when I keep it
Lord, with my whole heart, seek thy favour

Love Portion
Where do you keep your love portion?
In your hands, feet, head, eyes?
Can I get it from your laughter, smiles?
Are they in your wallet, back or feet?
Do you hide them in your tears, anger?
As for me my love portion
The happiness I give away to the world
In my dimples they rest in eagerly
Waiting to fly away

I Shed a Portion of My Love To You
This pain and misery
Is making me come undone
Come and set me free
Before the arrival of the dawn
Sun is on its way here
Shed no tear
Have no fear
Sun is on its way, dear
Shed no tear
Have no fear
Soon, turmoil comes and goes
Wrap away the midnight woes
Tell me to believe and I definitely will
Fell upon my face, but

Poet Portion
I am paradise when my heart sings with riddles that only understood by the responding heart...
I am the rocket only when my emotions backfires the truth that has never been told before...
I am the calabash when clay pots parade their beauty in the market of noble artists...
Natural compared to nature of crown godess in calibre

Like stroking someone's portion until exhaustion

Thank You Satan For Ruining a Good Portion of My Life
I just want to thank the prince of darkness
For what he’s given me
Selfish dreams and ambitions
A twisted sense of being free
Thank you Satan
For all the times I partied hard
For all the times I got drunk and high
But when I got arrested, were you on standby?
Thank you Satan
You taught me to get wild in college
