It’s great to be good;
just as we all should,
if only we could.
Temptations abound
they lie all around
and creep up on us
and after, it’s thus;
we regret and cuss.
We could close our eyes
as a compromise,
but tempters are wise,
and get in our head;
so easy mislead
at night in our bed;
when all is so dark
and life is too stark.

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 problematic it is to bring one off:
Always the quickest stony grief
For the daring beginner thief;
A sure tolling of the gloomy bell
That shall my miserable story tell
By those who for mere roguish eyes kill,
Let alone a move to rashly steal:
My body to hungry blows resign
Plus my face they shall redesign!

Lord, I acknowledge Your grace* with thanksgiving
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 joyously, grateful for the blessings I’m receiving.
Lord, I regard Your grace for my salvation’s honor
Along Your assurance of service-power ardor
Challenging my doubts and shameful valor...
While upholding my faith that’s performing by Your might’s fervor.
Always encourage me to abide in Your Word midst worldliness’ clamor.
Lord, I seek Your grace midst my worshipful praise
Along Your mercy to uphold me in the Christian race
Guarding me from tempters with all the weapons of deceit they raise…
While protecting me around Your peace, devoid of anxiety’s trace.
Always empower me to rejoice in You, enclosed in Your divine embrace.
*Psalm 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

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 recognition from any
tempters of glory!
With their widespread wings
they soar clearly with full
independence and no doubts.
And were I a bird, you would
find me an eagle.
Heaven forbid I walk on a leash
like a beagle!

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 life,
Have faith, and trust in the Lord,
To guide you on your path in life.
If you seek him you will find him,
If you seek him with all your heart,
But if you forsake him he will reject you
And leave you for the Tempters snare.
If your mind is ever doubtful
From uncertainties in your life,
When your world is getting stormy
From all of its troubles, conflicts and strife,
When the Devils Army is upon you
Ready to take away your life,
Have faith and seek the Lord,
And let him come into your life.
Seek the Lord of Heavens Army
With an open heart and a willing mind,
Don't forsake him and be rejected,
To go through life spiritually blind.

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 know better than you think I do.
I wanna smile like how Pentatonix do it when they
are on stage but, ....
I've learnt how to live stress-free,
or am I lying to myself. I did once say that I dont wanna lose you, but
now,
I'm here, feeling nothing!
Losing you or having you- the same!
It's so hurting when you find a girl crying after being heartbroken, "He is not even considerate. I loved him in the best way I could, but what's this?! Sheer nonsense!!
Girls are trained as tempters. Give them a rope, but have to hold it tight at the other end.

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 like thyself my guide can be
Through night till sunshine abide with me
Journey to the unknown world
I know not nor lived
In the my sacred rest your bossom is where I lay
I fear no foe grave where is your victory?
Will triumph still for He is by me
In life in dead lord please abide with me.
?kehinde Oluwaseun is saying ?#?pray?... good night!

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 watched
it was like she
thought I was
stripping her edible
with my fleeting
looks; moved my gaze
up to her eyes
she stared back not
realizing she had
nervously
unbuttoned the top
two buttons of her
wayward blouse
she turned aside,
glanced back quickly
looking for
a UNSUPPORTED CODE carpe diem UNSUPPORTED CODE
way for her to fall
into my tempters
I stood my ground
whenever she seized
my whisper
snagged a moonbeam
and groped me with
her absolute

Of all the things I have ever felt,
your love is simply the sweetest.
Of all the places I ever dwelt,
your comely heart is the purest.
Lots of twinkling stars rock my
skies,
O, I have just found the
brightest,
yes I see it in your exotic eyes,
take it from me my dazzling
dearest.
Anytime I tour the gardens
outside,
I close my eyes to behold
beauty:
but when I am by your side,
my dream bloom becomes
reality.
Anytime I am arround you,
I feel engulfed by boundless
bliss;
what we share is timeless and
true,
I am glad I found you, mystical
miss.
There are sweet things I want
to say
but wild words seem so
worthless:
rousing the roses is child's play,
you are a priceless petal, your
highness!
Our love-tower is
sound-proof:
I don't hear the tales of
tempters,
this bond has got a rugged
roof;
it can only get better and
brighter.
I love you the day after the
future,
you are a treasure beyond
measure.

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 God’s voice
Forced to pay homage to a reprobate
The holy trinity refuses an audience
Satan, filling a young soul with hate
The heart grows cold with defiance
Pathways taken, lead to destruction
Time spent on earth, has been my hell
An unworthy soul seeking salvation
Purifying blood, to break Satan's spell

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 luggage of lies.
Sin and self soiled my soul with dirt and dross.
I kept crawling while I carried the cruel, crooked cross.
I lost my sight… I couldn't see the signs in the skies.
I lost God’s glorious glee and glow.
All hope was lost, I was helpless and cheerless.
I was faced with a foe that was forceful and fearless.
It was a sour season, I was stained, sick and slow.
I went to Calvary and laid down my sinful sack.
I rolled in dust and ashes, saying, I ‘m sincerely sorry..
Pleading and praying to get God’s grace and glory.
Mercy found me, saved me and put me back on track.

Would not I carry my rugged pride
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 trace
A line of haughty verse to silence the deadly state
The world’s affairs And all its cloud clapped might
But ends in poor surrender shorn of man’s pride
Shorn of all honour when our tattered rags do show
The imprints of tempters all their dishonest row
Then we hate to touch our mortgaged flesh and bone
When souls are slaughtered in church yards of rhone
It might have been better to explore salient venues
The spirit of dark waters or some sealed avenues.
