VERDICT DAY

How will we know when it’s approaching?

Is there a signal that death is coming?

Or do we just wait as we wish it away?

How is its taste,

Does is it have a metallic taste? 

Or is it nostalgic or mordant?

How does it smell like?

Does the odor jolt one to senseless neglect?

Or what does one see when faced with death's eyes?

Does is it have dark unfriendly eyes

Will angels beckon us when death snatches us?

To join the alluring alliance of souls

A clarion sound of heaven's harmony

A walk on the golden streets of heaven,

The choir of the angels singing to the lord,

Or will Lucifer come knocking' 

With hell's bells last call?

Where demons will be waiting anxiously,

For more company to torture,

Perhaps there is a real paradise,

Where the angels will join us in song and dance,

As we eat from the beautiful garden,

Juicy fruits as we sing hymns to the lord,

And as we sit on the golden streets

Where there will be unending joy>>

Venomous Assassin

It silently creeps in,

Giving no pain at first,

From young to old none can escape it,

Little by little it eats at our flesh,

Making those attacked by it so vulnerable,

Only the strong willed stand it,

Where did this disease come from?

Why does it cause so much pain?

Why does it attack so many lives?

How do we avoid this cursed disease?

So many questions linger in our heads,

Cancer, “why do you take our loved ones?”

ENJOY LIFE

He is always smiling,

The smile on his face so undeniable,

So infectious,

I wonder what makes him so full of life,

When he says hello he has so much vigor,

He looks like he has no cares, no worries,

I smile when I see him,

And he smiles back so kindly,

What makes him so jubilant?

He seems like he has it all,

But he  is in a wheelchair yet so full of life,

Life is so unfair “I think to myself”

His eyes lit up when he realizes am looking at him,

And ever so gently tells me,

“Life is what you make it” Mine is the best!!

ELUSIVE HEART

Why has thy heart refused to give way?

You are always there when I need you,

Nothing equates the love you show me,

How do I tell you that my heart has rejected you?

Why has my heart snubbed you?

You have got it all

You are good in all aspects,

My heart has overlooked that,

Why don’t I love you?

When you look at me,

I wish I can catch a glimpse of heaven,

I know you long to kiss me,

I wish I could think the same way,

I wish I can introduce you to my friends the way you do me,

I wish I could embrace you with such great love as you embrace me,

I wish I could return that love even for a bit,

If I could, you would be my wedded hubby,

I envy your soul mate to be since she will have it all

Life is so unkind.

JEWEL

Your gaze sends me delightful shivers,

You look for reasons to be with me,

You talk about me to your friends,

All your conversations are about me,

Before you make a business decision you ask me,

You tell me about your day before I ask you,

When we are together we talk about our future plans,

And they rhyme,

You love the things I love,

You escort me to laddish events,

When I am in solitude I confide in you,

When you don’t reply my text, it drives me crazy?

I feel bad when you don’t check up on me?

Why am I jealous when a call comes through and you smile?

Why do I always miss you so much?

When a love story went sour, I thought love was my foe

Every time I’m with you, it’s like I’m wearing a crown

Maybe love has finally come my way.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

A few years back a beautiful soul came to being,

God perfectly thought of you when He made you,

Uniquely molded from all others,

Now you have turned into an adult

One more year added to your life,

One more year to have you,

Your smile so contagious,

Your laughter from deep within so honest

Your eyes so kind,

Your love to all so true,

Your kindness to everyone so genuine,

When God made you he thought of us,

Our lives couldn’t be complete without you,

May God add you many more days on this earth,

My greatest wish is to have you till the end of time,

You are the very best gift we have been blessed with.

Happy birthday my friend.

STOLEN INNOCENCE

She gazes at you with an innocent look,

Oblivious of what happened to her,

She playfully plays with her dolls,

As nurses nurse her,

The precious angel survived it all,

Her beauty exceeds all,

Her courage surprises many,

Her purity take away ,

At only two by her own father,

He is a condemned man,

Fighting the demons within him,

The society has shunned him,

His child knows not what her father did.

Innocently she will still call him father.

BEGGER ON THE STREET

She sits on the street corner day-to-day

With a baby perched on her back,

Her frail hands stretched out to all who pass, so they can give her cash,

Sometimes she breastfeeds her baby,

Her breasts so frail, No food for the baby,

People pass her as though she existed not,

Day in day out she is always on that street,

Dawn comes and goes she is still there

Her baby suffers the same fate as she,

I wonder who took her purity away,

What human being had the impudence to make her a mamma?

Her child seems like a big liability,

Perhaps she was even brought up the same way,

When there is a celebration, there is no one to party with her,

She only has her baby,

So many questions I ask,

Who will get her out of this predicament?

I give her a dime but I still wonder,

Tomorrow she will still be on the streets.

IN LOVE

To my future husband with love...

When sunrise came this morning,

You were in my thoughts,

Last night I had a dream about you,

Today I wish that dream could come true,

You make me feel like am reborn,

I never knew their existed love until I met you,

Your love warms my heart like it has never been before,

Your eyes bore into me with so great love,

I get lost in your embrace wishing I would stay there longer,

Your touch gives me delightful shivers,

Your  voice, thrills my heart,

I am afraid to confess that I am in love,

My heart has finally given way,

I am in love with you * wink*

RESPECT

You jump a queue as though nothing you have done,

You disregard all behind you,

Your tongue lashes out at everyone,

You respect none,

Pride is etched on your shoulders,

You show no respect at all to mother earth,

Arrogance is your footstool,

You are so full of yourself,

You esteem yourself so highly and look down on the lowly,

Love, respect all you will get it in return,

Staying on mother earth longer does not mean you disrespect,

We all deserve respect; Respect all you will earn it.

You are highly blessed with wealth,

But then you want more of it,

So you steal and step down on the poor,

You forget we are all human,

Hence  you  do anything to get more.

Be humble you will be raised up.

I LOVE YOU JESUS

He continually listens to me when I call,

Even if he is unseen,

He holds my hand when I walk,

He shields me from my adversaries,

He chastens me not when I go wrong,

Rather he exonerates me affectionately,

And directs me with love,

When I fall sick he touches me,

He sees my pain and gives me joy,

He hears my cries and wraps me in his arms,

He adores me unconditionally,

He has given me all that I deserve,

I am happy to have such a loving father,

With all my heart I Love you Abba Father.

FRIEND

"for everyone who has lost the bond of friendship they once shared with a friend"

You glare at me with disgust written on your fore head,

I loathe you not my friend,

Neither do I take you as my foe,

What happened to the smiles and the hugs we shared?

Our sisterly love went downhill,

I reach out to you I get a cold shoulder,

You have made new friends,

I wish I could be them,

I see you share laughter’s with them,

My heart bleeds,

What did I ever do my dear friend to deserve your hate?

I bear no grudge against you,

True friends keep no grudges,

I miss you my dearest friend,

Pardon me if I offended you,

I intended it not.

Till the end of time, I will always take you as my friend.

BROKEN SPIRIT

Life continues as if nothing happened to me,

The birds of the air continue humming their melodies,

People continue living and relishing their life’s,

New born beginnings are celebrated each day,

Each day seems like a celebration to everyone,

I sit here with a feeling of numbness in spirit,

My life felt like it came to a halt when you napped,

To me it is a broken spirit,

A broken dream not to have you,

It feels like I committed a crime by linking my heart to yours,

The moment I acknowledged to be yours,

But then my best years were spent with you,

I do not know how to live my life without you,

Because till the end of time,

My heart will be for you,

I will always miss you,

Sleep well my beloved.

DAUGHTER

This is to all mothers, and mothers to be…

The moment you came to this world

You changed my world,

The way you clinch your fists gives joy to my world,

You at my breast warms my heart,

Your smile is like a morning dawn full of joy,

Now you are grown my little princess,

I have enjoyed each moment with you,

I love how you run up to me and kiss me on my cheeks,

I love how you playfully play with my hair,

There is no greater joy than having you,

My baby angel,

You are the best gift I have had,

I will always thank the heavens for giving me you,

Forever you will be my shining armor,

I will always love you my baby.
