The vessels were already full
I could've let my head rest on your shoulder,
I could've held you tight in my arms,
In the rain, I could've made declarations of love,
But life felt complete there,
Life felt enough there,
Everything felt ready,
Ripened,
like a ray,
No space for nonsense,
No space for words,

Beyond Vessels
My home is not made of spacecraft.
My heart is not made of fear.
My soul is not made of isolation.
No, my home is a resilient capsule that no one can breach.
I am there whenever I am weightless.
I am there whenever I am problem-solving.
I will be there whenever I return.
Yes, you can enter.
But first repeat after me:
My

The Human Blood Vessels
Our blood vessels are super magical
They are like wires interwoven together
Without entangling with each other
It's unique flowing like stream
Big and small lines busy working
Transporting blood in and out the body
All the way working non-stop
If these vessels are connected
It measured 97,000 kilometers
It can travel the world over two times.

Broken vessels
Just like this vessel, we all bear
Marks of struggle, signs of wear.
But beneath the surface, deep within
Lies the essence of who we have been.
Like a glass that has fallen
And shattered upon the floor.
You gather together its pieces
And hope it can be restored.
A jigsaw puzzle, a mosaic of colors.
Carefully rebuilt, one part against another.
Showing the

God Created Some Human Vessels For Honor and Others For Wrath, Q and A
Q Why did God create some human vessels for honor and others for wrath?
A Just as a potter created some vessels for beauty and others for chamber
pots, containing human's wastes. God reserves His God-given right to do
likewise.

The Strict Would One Restrict
Please, quit saying that one may be strict
And peoples movements hardly restrict.
The strict could your blood vessels constrict,
A people confine to a district:
Have the rather free into jail tricked
And forgotten while God's Time ticked.
They just have strong links: 'strict' and 'restrict',
Because 'Strict' often says 'Restrict':
A criminal's captured neck constrict...

Love's Many Vessels
The first time I ever made you coffee I
handed it to you, black and just a little burnt.
with apology on my tongue, I said ‘sorry, there’s no cream.’
You, with your long black hair and snow
driven smile replied, with reassurance on your lips,
‘it’s perfect, I prefer it black’
It’s been 6 months, sweet love, and I

Outside Life's Vessels
Unperturbed by prevailing circumstances,
Unruffled by the turbulent sea,
Shielded from daunting situations,
Not held by the reins of society’s gratification,
Moving without boundaries.
Unclouded thoughts,
Uncluttered pathway,
Not tortured by unseen elements,
Not ravaged by the oddity of time,
It’s a seamless flow.
The past doesn’t infiltrate,
Nothing is shrouded in mystery,
No moving back and forth in time,
No strange awareness,
The dual phenomenon ceases to

Bible Sea Worthy Vessels
Amidst great ocean of life --- voyaging
I’m blest with the Lord’s granted fellowship
partnership-bliss in faithful stewardship…
Captain is Christ by His love’s engaging.
Along life's trip, I've learned Bible ships’ facts
attesting the Creator’s supreme hand
working by His omnipotent command
assuring sweet peace from evil attacks.
With God’s sovereign design, notable
Noah’s Ark in Genesis does prevail
as Earth’s first ship

Colonial Master
Colonial master:
A lot was doing faster
Many stubborn chains able to loosen
Like the vessels whom Christ had chosen.
Colonial master:
Hatefully fought by Rasta
But they were also safeguarding Jamaican rights,
Which sometimes would their sanctity lose
In the darkness of tragic nights
At the hands of The Conquered by booze.
This Great Master though was a great slave
To every African cultivable soil
And

Empty Hallways
Ghosts flaunt and flutter
Terror reigns supreme
Come live in our dwelling
Join the house of fiends
Light trails and pursues
Darkness bears no retreat
Come live in our dwelling
Join the house of deceit
Vessels amble and attend
Desolation’s tune is complete
Come live in our dwelling
Join the house of delete
Dusk broadens and swells
Time taken for a thief
Come live in our dwelling
Join

Glowing Vessels-
At least the vessels
flexible pipe flowing
Flowing through my emotions
are drastically stretched out
Engulfed and powered by the cool like a waters
Handled spigot with the handle and the screw through
it turns right to be on
turns left to be all like a laden fall
Autumn is turn to Winter
Squirrels endowed with complexity intestinal

Vessels
one day i will lose you lover
throw your bones into the creek
leaving rotting flesh yearning
for the gap between my teeth
for i am a patchwork of sorrows
i've been weaving since my birth
did your mother tell you to love me
or did you wish to become cursed
it seems i'm skin and bone and you
sewn up by shaky hands
so
