FADING FACES

People fade
their faces a blur
their voices an echo

like everything else we cease to miss them
we do but the feelings don't run deep like they once did
like everyone else I'm having a hard time remembering you face

The sound of your voice
the way you move
and talk

they will all fade eventually
but the memories we share
is the one thing that won't...

Like a bullet proof vest i have worn mine
like a shield I'm holding mine close to my chest
hold on to yours...

NOT GOOD FOR ME

NOT GOOD FOR ME…

Too good to be true

Your light burns too bright

Your world moves too fast

Your company is mesmerizing

Your presence so overwhelming

Your candor so refreshing

I cling to your every word like a life saver

I do as you say no questions asked

Love speeds up time when you are around

My walls tall and painted blue

Like shimmering glue

You are tearing it down

My good my bad you take them all

I’m enchanted by you

And that’s how I know

You are not good for me.

WOMANITY

              WOMANITY

She was called the mother of all nations
A beauty queen of her time
The hope of the future
The light at the end of a dark tunnel
She was an embodiment of wisdom
A home and a nation builder she was

From head to toe reveals the perfect job of the creator in her
She was the mother of kings and queens
Although man was made to be her crown
Without her men are incomplete

But as the beginning of the end of days approaches
Cries without tears
Bleeding hearts
A mistress of deception
Placards with expressions of disappointment
Displaced the hails of her glory

She lost her honorable name to agodless world
The queen becomes "Every"
Her vessel becomes many vessels to strange men
Who have interest in nothing but her exposed contours
And the skimpy dress she wears

What happened to her former glory
What happened to her integrity and decency
When did her figure 8 becomes a trademark for iniquity
Will she continue in this lifestyle of godless abominable acts of corrupted womanity?

GRACE unplugged

Many things I would love to write

A million years won’t be enough

I had no right to pray

Taken too many wrong turn

Crossed the line of no return

Passed the point of redemption

Tried all I could to get back

But even I knew there was no coming back for me

All hope was lost

But you kept hoping against hope

Even when I knew I was undeserving

You left my candle burning

Just when I thought I had had enough

You saw my Achilles's heel

Then stoop down to my level

To the mud where you first picked me

Giving hope and a strength renewed for tomorrow

And the day after and the day after that

You took my hands and off we went to a place where grace drowned all my mistakes

Took my feet out of the sinking sand

Made beauty out of the ashes I am

And now even I can tell that your grace is enough…

A DEAR JOHN POEM 1

The tides are high tonight
as i tried to write
but i can't help this heart of mine
i long to hear your voice
to somehow ease my pain
but you are there
and i am here
our distances seems to make it clear
i love you with all my heart
i have from almost the first time we met
it doesn't make sense that i love you
because we belong to two different worlds
i fell in love with you when we were together
fell deeper in love with you in the years we were apart
now you’re just minutes away from my reach
i tried staying away
praying, not praying
my head says no
heart says yes
Finally...
I understood what true love meant...
letting you be happy even if am not the cause or a part of your happiness
so looking at it that way
i guess am not in love with you.
