Only

I was scorned by you the other day
With such disdain did it totally portray
What you loathe must make you writhe
Is something that you cannot tithe

When things are in motion I make waves
The ripple effect leading to raves
Oh the ultimate glory for God is here
To Heaven all along did I steer

I am a wretch of all things
But God bowed down and gave me wings
To Him I sing out of love and out of tune
But to Him it’s more beautiful than the moon

I care not that people might stare
I have been there before I can compare
A whole audience riveted by fear
Only I told them what they needed to hear

Now my anger wells up within me
Who am I to you, how do I compare to thee?
I only want love to sustain what we had
Only you think it is horrible and bad

So I let the beauty of love and joy
Play against some sinister ploy
But the Lord has protected me this long
What makes you think you can come along?

Steady

As this body ages away and I lose my mind
My self and my identity left behind
I am forgetting things in one moment
Obscurity, if this continues I am meant

I have let go of my self and submitted to my Lord
Placing me in His bosom and not struck by a sword
Annihilation of that which is not of Himself
Leaving behind what remains of my self

I say this because despite the afflictions
I remain standing in the Lord before the nations
My own self so unimportant but I was hallowed
Living a true life in God forever followed

My heart yearns for the fulfillment of Revelations
Requiring sacrificial and worthy oblations
But the world is in obscurity and not ready
For the Lord to come, keep my heart steady

Wait

I turn to the silence and wait my answer
An outpouring of grace unlike ever
When the grace stops, that is when
You will realize there will be no zen

I only know the truth about myself
Never to ever be put on a shelf
Justice comes for those who seek it from God
Patience pays off and then let there be laud

For the Lord God approaches me always
And I approach Him in many ways
I see Him where you do not
In a poor man, a child, the whole lot

The God that loves us does not hide
All around us is where he does reside
But like a body there is always a head and heart
I have known love every time I start

You cannot see the heart by yourself
But know there is one that bleeds like myself
Your love is what is important to me
Your love like rainbows after the rain can I see

So rise up from the dead and make your claim
The dead do not speak but it is their aim
To be lifted from the shadows and the darkness
Into the light that is marvellous

There is an unspoken gift that is always given
By the only true man and one first risen
By a certain Passion that I enter daily by my life
I walk with Him on the very edge of strife

Rhythm

Rhythm
I know your heartbeat as it beats the rhythm
Truth is, I am not part of some algorithm
With every tip of the hat she bellows
And lets the love she has flows

With a stream of life and joy
She persists without any ploy
To take the world by storm
Into this we are born

So hold fast and close your dream
Beyond the flavours of any ice cream
To change the world one person at a time
For the greater good and with no crime

Life lets me live in truth for you
There is nothing you need to do
But receive the love I impart
For this is just the start

I cannot sing in tune with you
I cannot sing at all, that is true
So sing it for me, I plead
Your love will always take the lead

Youth

He reminded me that I am not alone
Despite the horrors a light has shone
Prayers like incense up to the nostrils of our God
Lit up the world with more than heavenly laud

His love awards us with amazement of others
So that we cage the evil that withers
Away at the soul so do not smother
It would be better for you to call on Mother

For the saints give her praise that is due
What else do you want with your heavenly crew
My love will always remember the truth
Of a glorious endearment beyond all youth

Marbles

I let myself go
Never put on a show
Nobody knows
I see a murder of crows
Lingering about
Cawing loud like a shout
Warning of things ahead
Wondering if it’s all just in my head
A rally cry is heard
Do not think this is absurd
I live among immortals
It’s important not to lose your marbles
Everything is in shambles
Everyone gambles

Prayed

I prayed for you just as they asked
Took on immense suffering as I was tasked
While I am so very easily forgotten, I move on
But I will stick around with the hopes of a new dawn

My solitude is my loneliness in trouble
Living at peace in a life that is double
Disturb not my tranquility
Nor deflate my supernatural ability

I have come to free those who are captive
If they so choose because I am adaptive
I work my fingers to the bone
Until there’s nothing left to hone

But at the same time I crawl in the mud and blood
Kicked while down but not defeated nor a dud
They know not what they do by the letter
Where in truth they really should know better

So let me focus on my enemies
To show them one who lives among the trees
Is not to be disturbed for He is before the Lord
Was and always and forever greater than the sword

My works propagate not by conquests nor victories
But by failures and rejections not in the stories
My gentleness spreads across generations
Soon after it is across entire nations

One small good deed spreads to another
Under the radar of one who would smother
But failing to meet your status quo
I am left bleeding, so, woe

Be troubled and uncomfortable
As it is to the Lord I am willing and able
Not listening to the faintest lie
Looking with pity at a world so awry

Her life now hangs in the balance, I see
My love is true and ultimately free
As is hers so my prayer has always been
Take me instead for I have already seen

Unsaid

I seem to love you more now than ever
Since you have been gone what seems like forever
My heart burns with longing and desire
So that everything I am is on fire

I am a secret best left unsaid
Nobody knows just how much I bled
Though death I have defeated with Joy
This cannot be some ruse or ploy

I impart with reverence a blessing
With the hope it would make you sing
For your voice carries like the wind
Whispering secrets that I would never rescind

I have shouted my love from the mountain
From my heart flows a glorious fountain
Not by my own power I must say
That my love is forever present in the day

Mouth of God

I know that they think I fell from grace
But it was grace that sustained my fall
They think that I am not who I say I am
For their belief stops short of I Am
The dissemination of Love’s desire
Opened up my heart and I survived
The persistence of hate and ignorance
That drilled into me great distance and disdain
But fear shrouded their eyes
And it is me they fear and despise
As I have been put to the test
Time and time again they want to see
Death come to those who do not belong to them
Over and over again it repeats
We have been here before
The collective memory has already forgotten
Just how much they have turned their backs
On the God of Love and their future
But in truth, I am the one whose ear is to the lips
To the mouth of the God of gods they fear
I hear His whispers and groans over them
And the desire to make things true and free
Against the onslaught of their tyranny
It is due to the ignorance they have
Over His message so urgently poured out
He has decided it is time to end
The chapter in this book of life
That infinite record beyond your universe
To see from the eyes of the who lives
According to the sacred death of Christ

Jewel

She opened my heart mid-flight
Dancing on my heartstrings her delight
I dropped lover’s lines unrelenting
And was ostracized just for being

I never wanted this to be so cold
And that my poems are getting old
All I can do is think about you and hope
That one day I will finally cope

I gave my life for you and your love
Do not expect or want what you shove
But you shoulder a burden you should not
And put me in with the discarded lot

Despite all that you are the jewel I found
Love and compassion intimately bound
I adore love and you have got it all
Such love inside and I will never fall

Pen

Not once have I asked anyone to visit me
I am very much like an old tree
Beautiful and majestic from the top down
But others only seek to cut me down

In the realm of possibilities
Love always puts you at ease
My intent and actions will never harm
Unless you just stand there and never disarm

There are many prayers available to anyone
You are free to use any but not like a gun
God does not like being shot at
And you certainly do enough of that

Many people believe there is magic where it is not
But the truth is, such myths will just make you rot
From the core to the outside now a viper’s den
Burrowing in lies so deep the only escape is a pen

Hidden Suffering

One look at me and you would not know
Just how much suffering that does not show
I sigh with hope in my heart for you to be free
From the awful and constant tyranny

I could have ended my sufferings by my own hand
The Lord already knows where I really stand
I have suffered longer than I can remember
By the hand of God and by one another

I have earned the right to be this way
For no justice until my enemies say
They are truly sorry for what they did
And take the punishment to be finally rid

Which means there that the Lord comes to me
He assures me that I am finally free
No shackles on me nor hellfire surround me
I live one in unity with His Majesty

Those that hate me the shame reflects right back
Suffering the most ultimate humility you lack
I love you and give you my hearts contents
While I am present in our Lord’s holy tents

I say this with compassion to the end
Love loves you are the words I send
Bursting with Joy at your reception
And entering into a holy nation

Floors

My heart explodes every day
Because I desire to say
I love everything about you
So what else is new?

That is just it
Nothing new is at hand or writ
I spelled out the Law of Love for you to consume
Yet you treat it like garbage, see me fume

If it is as it was when it came to pass
I saw you in my light, top class
I never looked so deep with curiosity
To discover the same love intently

I yearn and I burn with a very fiery breath
I live on despite the power of death
My desire for love and peace the same as yours
Hearts united, we would dance on the floors

Cut Through

Love is never lost
It does not come at a cost
Such love is free and sincere
Beyond the eyes of every seer

I wonder and I fret over the smallest things
Such as a subtle cue to give you wings
Such love begins with the word that brings
Deliverance from every evil and their kings

So I whispered a word that can bring them down
In the silence and behind the frown
God, take them down, cut them down
I heard Him say, so be it, with a frown

They wanted to raise me up yesterday
Truth be told, I refused with so much to say
To stay and endure the worst with you
Instead of from above but down here with you

Because I love you and want you in my life
Cherishing every moment as sharp as a knife
I will cut through and have cut through
By God’s mighty sword, the word that is true

Decide

I am just a nobody from nowhere
Untrusted from the beginning
Because of jealousy
You must see that

Lies flow around like a swirling sea
A whirlpool to pull you under
Beware of what the machines tell you
Truth and lies are all you give it

Mostly lies are propagated by fear and hate
Because few know the algorithm
They can manipulate your fate
But whether to Heaven or not they cannot decide

Locked

Time has locked me away from you
A surge and a storm in my heart is true
Everything I do is for love that is real
Including the breaking of the holy seal

What is written has been released
What song has my heart leased
To the truth and the way I have it all
Within me is love standing tall

But there are those who do not understand
Against them I will take the stand
Lies up against the truth always bow
To the ground like a cow

So heed to my warnings that have already come
I set the tune to the beat on my drum
Flying high I just wanted to say “Hi”
This is me just barely scraping by

Transcription

My love requires not love in return
It requires belief and hope it will burn
For it burns like the sun and will live a long time
The love I have for you is no mistake beyond rhyme

But I have a problem, you see, with my anger
Cannot hold it back any longer
I lash out at others and am never forgiven
I know who I am and all I have given

Do not mistake my anger and flame
As a sin against God, you cannot blame
It is rather like an arrow against the status quo
And with that, you might say whoah

My heart is yours just the way I want it to be
So with that you are totally free
But the bar to make my heart leap
Was raised higher when she decided to reap

I cannot imagine what you must feel
Pondering the mystery behind the wheel
This is my love transcription
Not any kind of conscription

To you I am not asking or demanding that you bow
To obtain the gifts that I too can endow
But I must breathe on you if you only knew
My Spirit lies in wait for the love you drew
