Distruction
Depression
Drugs
Death
Just a part of how I used to feel
I thought I would never heal
Never see through this cloud of fog
But I have found God
The one true love that I need
If I didn’t have him, I don’t know where I would be
He helps me see clearly
My dear heavenly Father
Oh, how loving you have been
Showing me the good
Never leading me astray
Healing me through you, never walking away
Your earthbound child
Here to love thy neighbor
Share your love and peace
You have taught me to fight my battles through you
And that is what I shall keep continuing to do
My saving grace
Though I may not be able to see your face
I will continue to chase
The short chase for your love
Heavenly Father, take me in
Oh, wait, you already did
That’s why I’ve had this relief
This weight has been lifted
Thoughts have shifted
I never believed in you when I was a kid
I hid away from your love
But as I’ve gotten older, we’ve only grown closer.
Always available to chew,
Need a perspective or two.
Allows you to see,
How saving gum is as easy as one, two, three!
No life preservers.
No CPR.
No refrigeration for contemplation.
No social media reference.
There are some well-known facts,
Why saving gum is mandatory.
Let me tell you the story.
To reuse when we get the blues.
Expand our money for other things that are funny.
Preserve the environment over use of the sapodilla tree,
Bet you thought gum just appeared.
Avoid creating waste,
No shoes with gooey paste.
Gives time to pause a thought,
Prevents words from bubbling out.
Sometimes what you say makes people shout!
Save your gum!
Stick on top of your shoe.
Wrap in old gum paper,
Either way will do.
Set for a time,
Under tables divine.
Stuck on a door,
To be seen once more.
Hardening from exposure to air,
Makes a repeat chew more extensive to do.
The flavors not great.
But wait!
You've saved your gum,
For another late date!
A Poet dies
and
the world lives
to mourn
Rereading his
words
a new spirit
is born
In paradigms
searching
for hope and
reprieve
His memory
calls out
to those
— who believe
(Dreamsleep: May, 2025)
Today I’m grateful for all the people seated next to me
who accompany me on my journey every day…
And I’m grateful to be saving seats for the those
who will be joining me along the way.
We live a little, then we die
Forever and completely
Plain truth is beaten with a lie
The saving lie speaks neatly
Divides a body from a soul
The afterlife we get to run
Is meant for dates in other world
Must be a sheer fun
In desperation we believe
In childlike trash like this
And consolation we receive
Don’t worth a single kiss
I suffer from a wound unhealed
No time can take away
The utter pain I have to feel
Cause it’s the same old day
It tells the story of a loss
My memory retrieves
The morning hour with its gloss
The evening with its grief.
Saving our only home
The world should be clean.
The world should be green.
Throw the waste in the dustbin.
And the world will come one step closer to being clean.
Day by day it is getting worse and dirtier.
Holding up the pain of being untidy
The earth carries a lot of people.
The earth wanted to be a planet where humans could live forever.
Earth wanted to have humans, however
Humans are not willing to be earthians now.
They only want to leave the planet. How?
Humans are fed up with the planet they destructed.
They are finding the planet where new life could be constructed.
The earth is worried about its health and ours too.
And this responsibility begins with you.
Before Mother Earth forgets its purpose.
Taking care is a responsibility that begins with us.
The ghosts of past misdemeanours haunt me
chaining me to misery and greed,
a grotesque whispering of witless guilt
that stifles the sublime of the soul.
Damned demons howl around me,
frolicking in a deadly dance,
trying to put an incision on my brow :
“This miscreant belongs to us.”
The night grows nasty and terrifying,
wolves wail a woeful weeping song,
abominable bats blast off sucking blood,
and putrid smells block my nostrils with decay.
Suddenly a wayward wind dispels the clouds,
stars shine brightly up above.
A full moon shines through darkened trees,
a ray of mercy envelops my soul.
Hope lights my suffering soul.
I remember my mother's advice.
God created you to love and be loved.
Who can love me? I ask.
Why He who created me....and you!
We live in a world of sinfulness
mankind has ignored God's ways
seeking to do their very own thing
bringing our world to disarray
Is it any wonder our present state
surely it's plain to see the reason why
for God has given His authoritative word
deny His word and you'll spiritually die
Jesus, God's son came to redeem
becoming our substitute on Calvary's tree
taking our sin as His very own
Christ became the blessed saviour to be
God's gospel is to be preached
so all who hear can be made new
a new creation in Christ is our reward
make sure this salvation is for you
God's word is His living truth
which transforms us inside out
but refuse it at your very peril
for hell will come to those in doubt
The final day will bring judgement
after that day there's no second chance
so be sure to be found in Christ
connected in Him your living branch
You feel so good, when you spend less
saving your nickels and dimes
But when you eat what you bought
you might want to confess ~
Spending a bit more ain't no crime
I chose to love
Embraced bitter sweet love
My mind's patched
My heart's banded up
Yet it heals to be fibrosed
To never beat like before
All a consequence of loving
Loving has never been more difficult
But do I still will to love
You are damn right , I do
Cos it's my way out of a dystopian life
Love's hurts are like butter to bread compared to my dystopian woes
Finding love was always a daydream until I grew wings and escaped back to reality
You don't know how many times I died inside in loneliness
You can't fathom my heavy burdens
I have appeared all fresh superficially but deep down I dessicated multi-ply
Love was my savior, my guarding grace
bug inched around my glass rim
i knew it could fly off
it didn't
so I captured it
between a glass and a piece of cardboard
walked it outside and let it go.
I am a hero.
One more life saved
I don't know if I can manage
Any more heartbreak or damage
In my life, I'm gonna lose it
It's so hard to find a fit
That is perfect, just for me
I've been so lost and lonely
Looking for a love that might
Finally get me through the night
without any more nightmares
They will leave and disappear
Leaving me to question why
I wake up each day to cry
No one there to dry my tears
Or help me to face my fears
Telling me I'll be O.K.
That they'll never go away
Sticking by me till the end
All the romance they can send
Brightens up a day so bleak
Or be strong when I am weak
Giving me hope time and again
This time I will finally win
What I've always waited for
Hitting the jackpot to score
A love to call my very own
Little by little being shown
There's no need for searching longer
My heart beat is a lot stronger
Than its ever been, it's nice
To have a happy and sweet slice
Of this life, I have no greed
As your fulfilling all my needs
Nothing and you
Are not two..
That's the saving
Grace...
(Short..but these few words might seem to end seeking..)
Picture frame the moments.
In diaries write them down.
Hold on to such with all you have
for times will come around,
when they will be all that you have
to make it one more day.
And on that day let all else go…
then you will find the way.
I’d never climb up any mountain
Must be too cold on the top
Neither I’d dive in the fountain
Nor in the ocean I’d flop
I’d never explore scenic outskirts
Of historical towns and sites
If you claim it’s a bogus alert
I guess you are probably right
But living a life of serene
Is quite a challenge these days
I’m happy with lack of adrenalin
Approaching no dangerous ways
I watch all the worth in my shell
Without any useless commotion
I reckon you do it as well
Saving this world from erosion.
