Being as unfaithful as Ashley Madison
That’s how I honestly feel when it comes to God
Who’s not like luggage which I can just jettison
Though the world at times tempt me to never applaud
Him it tantalises me endless draws me in
Like raindrops on spider’s web yet so bitter-sweet
I can’t deny myself this feeling which can spin
Me out of control making me think I’m complete
Caught up in this trap where I feel like flame exposed
In the wind struggling to stay lit and bright on site
I thought being in the dark no one sees me imposed
On me consistently afraid of how this Light
Tracks each move I make I’m like Eve in the garden
Ecstatic with this set-up where I always find
Myself in God’s mercy asking to be pardon
A perpetual sinner under His watch aligned
To go astray right away even if I do
Believe in God wholeheartedly with all my faith
The main challenge my flesh constantly puts me through
Trials and tribulations not once not twice not eighth
Time provided I’m cognizant of how I live
Under His radar forgiven every time I
Sin and sin and sin again and again He give
Me chance provided I repent and not just try

light
Writing outside
where the failing wind
sources my contours
the whoosh of irreverent travel
slips the ear
and the bristle yap of a garden dog
above mist swords
and billowed edges
whisper in a diluted sun
set for another encore
grass tantalises with samba sways
and bushes wave their tendrilled fingers
in evenings gaps
golden ashes transmute to dirt
as dancing flies
cool in disputed thermals
You are a new world to me
One that I have never seen
Your face fills me with intrigue
Your mind tantalises to tease
I have written you words,
Sentences, notes and letters
In my mind each and every day
My mind and my thoughts
Deep in thought - talking
Your eyes have seen beyond
Minds that could never ever be
Prepared to comprehend
What you have seen
Holding yourself back, control
You feel intensely - Wildly
Too much too often
Ever present - you wait
Until it's your time
That you know will come
It's simple
There is no tip toeing
Around the words unsaid
They speak volumes
We understand the language
That exists in the silences
We share in the subtext
That sits amongst the space
Between all the lines
You - A whole new world
That you invited me to live in
I want to be trapped by you
In to something wonderful
You could never asphyxiate me
I'm in a place I want to be
World Wide Web welcomed the world over
Computer communication consisting as a combined operation, though
Poised and positioned, pertinent persons are parodied, as
Caricaturists calculating cajolery creates challenges
Tacticians tantalises with tangible tall stories, though
Rules regulate racketeers and raging ranters
Friends and family Skype face to face in fellowship.
So intensely full of flavour and smooth to the touch
My palate seems to be dancing with each burst
Different dreams weave in my mouth
Delighting my tastebuds and adding no doubts
Caressing my tongue and cascading down my oesophagus
This human delight turns me restless and addicted
The sweet flow of flavour tantalises and teases
Making me aware of each taste as it eases
Tossing and turning inside my mouth
Ravaged by my teeth so daring and dear
My fingers reach swiflty for the next taste adventure
I panic to find an empty packet instead
I rush to the store to load up on some more
Breathing with relief only after restocking I leave the door
