The Lost Lover

I'll find my lover
Whose shadows I have been chasing
Whose footprints are almost washed away by the rain
But I have been taught his ways 
And his paths I have understood well
Yet my lover refuses to come to me
Or let me near him
He slips away from between my fingers saying 
"There is more to me"
The most I have seen is the most minute of what he has to offer he claimed.



I'm sure I will find my lover
Who several men  has chased
Some failed, some fainting; others still in pursuit of him
But the way of the spirit is narrow, only one man and the Holy Ghost
I know it would be tough
The road will be crooked
But it is my Lover I will find at the end of the race


When I find my lover
I will behold his face and tell him all about my journey
Though he saw it .
I will let him see the scars and let his eyes run over them
I will weep for joy yet for the mistakes
And let myself find peace in his embrace
Because through it all it was my lover I was chasing.
It is him I have found amongst all other things.

Make it happen

The world is always in the move and it's going to keep moving without you changing a thing. The change you want to see, make it happen; You can always make it happen You can always achieve that dream of yours, Only if you don't stop trying. Even if finances seem insufficient, you can make it happen; Even if parental support seem insufficient, enjoy the little you've got and make it work Even if nothing seems sufficient you can make it happen because his GRACE is sufficient. Even if the height look unattainable, even if it looks impossible, even when the hurdle looks like bit cannot be crossed You can make it happen. Be like an ant, take responsibility.  Create your world in the world. You're needed to make it happen. When I wandered the streets, looking for a people with the goal to make sure that the vision don't go to waste . I saw a craving, a longing but it didn't work because they have refused to believe in themselves and keep at their goal. Bui...

Broken Fetters

I have developed a phobia for all things living including myself The doors of my mind slammed shut Yet the gates of brass has been broken And the bars of iron cut asunder Who would lead me by the hand out of this pit? Well because I am blinded with pain and trauma Who will set me free?  Everyone like the over the counter pharmacy, seems to have a solution to the unknown question that plagues my mind Save my Soul As I wander, I met a man Who didn't come of his own Accord He came with a diagnosis and a doctor's recommendation I hid from him  The pain and the scars another eye must not see I didn't need a third opinion Fear was a lifeline But all he had recommended was a book I wondered when he delivered his prognosis How one book could contain all that I needed for life In this book, I found a woman She trod the Same path I'm on Her name meant date palm yet she escaped unfruitfulness by the cat's whiskers With similar scars and a bag full of wisdom Whether...

Freedom by Him

I'm choking , suffocating, tired and bored of struggling for life The things around seem to be killing me deep inside Even I don't understand how I have been able to survive so far.  I have been undermined but I refused to yield.  Called stubborn As days went by the turmoils increased so witth the number of testimony Doors kept opening, great and effectual. The enemies waxed great but... Something of mine was taken My Joy was taken away from me. It has been my priceless jewel keeping me going even in darkness and when everything was silent. My faith shattered, my hope smouldered My heart smothered but I kept going Fruitless and hopeless  Slow was the speed and sluggish was the train My innocence is stolen, I'm injured. The pain is becoming unbearable More times than I can count Suicidal thoughts held me down But the fear of causing the ones I loved pain and trauma I refused to listen to it Tine refused to wait Tide refused to cease. Years flew by, decades ran ...
