I'm beginning to feel odd,
hermit like if you will.
I refuse to believe all the lies
they tell wrapped up nicely like
presents presented as truth.
they even get our youth and act
like their parents when they
have none of their own.
believe me I'm not trying to
throw stones I just peep what
I know therefore I'm a homebody
where I know the truth unfolds
before my eyes in the privacy of
my home while I pray to the Upmost
author of truth for discernment to know
what He wants me to know
the veil can be removed and the light
can shine out and from within
then I have the boldness along
with courage to speak the gospel
to whomever will listen since it's
my intention to reach as many as I
can and help them understand real
love and salvation that is waiting for
them
a hermit I can be no more
A Mother's Love
You carried me for nine months and brought me in to the world,
You was overjoyed and excited when the doctor said " it's a girl",
You showered me with love and kisses as you held me in your arms,
You made it your upmost responsibility to protect and shield me from harm,
you gave me my bottle and rocked me to sleep,
Even though you couldn't sleep without me making a peep,
i gave you a run for your money but you made it through some how,
The loving mother you was then is the loving mother you are now,
I know raising a spoiled hypercontriact isn't easy at all,
Being the Energizer bunny I was I must have drove you up the wall,
But yet there was precious moments of playing with my toys while your giving me a bath,
Us dancing and singing doing funny things that made us laugh,
Growing up we didn't always see eye to eye we had our ups and downs,
But through it all we came to a understanding and no matter what you was always around,
Knowing I was one of three children you made it through some how,
The loving mother you was then is the loving mother you are now
Our Love so real
strongest than a hurricane
more intense than time
Pumpkins carved and treat’s prepared
With costumes risky as we dared
Ghostly white sheets, hats and bats
Those scary witches with their cats
Apple bobbing is a fun autumn game
So it's trick or treats that we all proclaim
Travel in groups for the best effect
And always show upmost.l respect
Take with you adults, it's important you see
Not everyone likes it, not like you and me
Houses that decorate won't mind a visit
If they have a poster their wishes are implicit
Those who provide you with sweets and treats
Cakes, biscuits and all those nice eats
They make it special, on All Hallows Eve.
Pleases and thank you’s they must receive
When our first kiss up to the heavens soared,
An ardent passion swirled around the air.
With no sense of time—neither here, nor there—
A bond was formed, and faith in love restored.
With the kind permission of the good Lord,
Our lips softly met with the upmost care.
I gently ran my fingers through your hair
To ensure you felt treasured and adored.
As we held each other in our embrace,
Our frames began to feel dizzy and weak—
We felt the work of a higher power.
Once we separated, I touched your face,
Running my hand down the side of your cheek—
Your warm skin felt tender as a flower.
Making sadness cower,
Our eternal love then began showing—
And both of our faces kept on glowing.
We parted, both knowing
The night can be cold in so many ways—
But the warmth of our kiss lasted for days.

Soul matters
Essence of the Father's soul providing
Embrace the phenomena
Eagerly submissive
I'll wait His blessings

When you kiss me I feel free
Wondering bird on the bluest breeze
Wonderfully made like orange fall leaf
Warm unafraid and amazed at my peace.
As you hold me I feel hope
Amber sun rays from holy ghost
Allowing me grace and the upmost
Anticipated love that keeps us close
Come near my dear never distress
Cry nor deny who loves you best
Christ is first then others digress
Can I be second in your happiness?
My love is agape my love is true
Moments are forever when I’m with you
Music is clever like our onyx union
Melodic together holy like communion.
Joy is seeing your sweet smile
Juicy like fruit that I taste now
Jewel of my heart you are allowed
Jump in my thoughts and stay a while.
Such as it is,
A wonderful blessed new day;
So you shall feel the warmth of the presence of God;
Around you breathing;
Ever leading;
Giving unto you instructions about;
oh! joy oh joy such joy we are, we are
upmost almost unbelievable
We are, we are, Enhanced in Our Father's Joy--
Where to stand and to turn;
You shall not lack any good thing;
This new day;
Beloved you'll be love;
You are above;
You'll be at peace and blessed;
oh! joy oh joy such joy we are, we are
upmost almost unbelievable
We are, we are, Enhanced in Our Father's Joy--
Enhanced in our Father's joy;
Always;
Beloved;
So you are
Beloved, Always
You will have a awesome wonderfully gracious glorious
Good New Day
Always
Beloved Beloved ever so Always
oh! joy oh joy such joy we are, we are
upmost almost unbelievable
We are, we are, Enhanced in Our Father's Joy--

Bones Ache yet Heart Sings
Energies my truths self so vibes, physical flesh bone and marrow cries
My bones ache yet my heart strives dried dies
My heart has a eyes and a mouth
Sing so my lyrics to my God I quote
I seek, I speak life to myself, the upmost
As my bones ache yet heart sings
Sings of the journey, my truest self brings
I put flesh to death daily, I pray to the Father daily
Energies sprout my soul and heart sings merrily
Those mind bones ache yet my heart sings praises everyday (in HIM I LIVE I BREATH)

Romeo Please Find Juliet-Virelai
I wish for a mate
That draws a line straight
One wish
A nice man sounds great
One that pulls his weight
Let's swish
Let's have a first date
See what's on our plate
And dish
If our moons shine bright
And our tides are right
See me
Basking in the light
Waiting for my knight
With glee
If our hearts are quite
Let cupid take flight
And spree
If this love note's read
Like butter to bread
Let's toast
Take my hand and lead
Let's be two and wed
Upmost
And spread forth our seed
And blossom and spread
The most

The little boy who was slow
Couldn't keep with the flow
Mistreated by most peers
Scared of people who's near
The naughty boy in the class
What's wrong? Noone asked!
Fustration leads to temper loss
Fights are won and many lost
Bully gangs loved to tease
Nobody helps at any degree
Confusion at the upmost extreme
Things just aren't what they seem
Anxiety is not always the answer
Depression is diagnosed faster
People don't look deeper inside
What's this DNA trying to hide
A chromozome not complete
Where X and Y should meet
A diagnosis from the spectrum
Detected in old and in young
To all the teachers and police
The bullies out on the streets
The bouncers in the clubs
You shouldn't be so quick to judge
Shame on all of you
For making this boy so blue
For not seeing he needed help
And only thinking of yourselves
The truth that packs a sting
The boy who asked for nothing
Is now at peace with himself
And puts you all on the shelf
Do not give up on your dreams
One day they will become reality.
All that glittersis gold
Have the faith to believe in your goals
Take the time to nuture your craft
Make it a work of art.
Give it your upmost care so much so
Others will see your creativity.
Your Dreams will make you a star
With this you will go far.
love is not taught , it comes with upmost brilliance , comfort will arise.
love will make its way into ones soul, belief weighs in, to which faith is comprised.
love follows the inherited courage that makes a home in the heart.
love is a path to a surprise of joy, more priceless than every piece of art
love can unleash the spirit , feel the rush, loud as all the trumpets in heaven or a quaint silent hush.
love can conquer all that ails one and vanquish it, no hidden agenda to be had .
it heals when the light seems to dim, and washes away the bad
love sees with the heart, a vision that reels in reality at its finest.
treat it with a caring nature ardent and true , it is graceful and ever so much the the kindest
The human heart is an amazing organ
It needs to be treated with the upmost care
It is the one most delicate features
That keeps us alive from birth and death
How could it survive for so many years
It's not magic well some say it is
It's the magic of the human condition
The amazing feat of reproducing itself
In it's own image AMAZING!
The human heart is an amazing organ
Treat it with the upmost care
