IF I WERE A DEER
If I were a deer
I’d be so sleek and so fast
I’d search the world over
For life ever last
If I were a deer
I’d travel the unknown path
Without being in fear
Of Satan’s temptation or wrath
If I were a deer
I’d bound through valleys of green
In places in heaven
No one else has ever seen
If I were a deer
With sure footed deer feet
I’d feast on fresh manna
So tender and sweet
If I were a deer
I’d climb mountains so high
That the tips of my antlers
Would touch the blue sky
If I were a deer
Panting with thirst from the chase
I’d drink form a cool stream
That reflected God’s true face
But I’m not a deer
God’s magnificent creation
I’m just a humble sinner
In need of Christ’s salvation
Ps.41(42):2(1)

I was a...
pessimist blamer
I grew up alone, parents abandoned me
was always the song, in my playlist
I spoke a different language, in a closed society
been mocked for that and forced to forget it completely
so much hatred, bottled up inside me
so many to blame for the anger thrived in me
I blamed my parents, blamed my teachers
blamed my church and blamed some preachers
while I was busy being a pessimist blamer
my life was heading towards a hot glowing flamer
five days just sit and staring at a screen
two days to wash and burn all the green
the cycle rolled along for a fifteen years
and you wake up one day to face your own fears
then you make amends, and ask for forgiveness
then you forgive yourself as your father does no less
you see the light again as the rain clouds disappear
as you walk in the dark brighten your path with a flare
and now there is a white cloud over my head always
to save me from all the troubles in my ways

Temptation
When there seemed all the space in the world
Of a place unbound in life's orbit
This was, after all, a rule of thumb
And your touch became unthinkable.
To live in a time that has run out,
No room to stretch one's limitations,
What does it all mean to be standing
So adrift on the edge and not know.
To fathom the next exhalation
As being one's last of temptation,
It no longer matters nor should it
This close to a lost art abandoned.
And as the last air that I swallow
Buys me scant little time to indulge,
I won't try to sully this moment
'Twas my fortune to know life at all.

Pockets
I never thought this day would come,
Where I opened my eyes,
Saw my body and felt love.
I was in a very dark place,
I couldn't look at my body,
And not feel hate,
I was drowning.
I was drowning because I wasn't good enough,
In my lifetime I'd never given my body love,
I poked and prodded,
But alas,
I still wasn't ever good enough.
My body was my home, My soul.
I let society eat me alive,
Based on a scale number,
Or my fucking dress size.
I was empty when I was most alive.
I let myself fall into hell,
When all I had to do was look,
And fall under my body's spell.
Alas,
I was finally in love.
Where I opened my eyes,
Saw my body and felt love.
I was in a very dark place,
I couldn't look at my body,
And not feel hate,
I was drowning.
I was drowning because I wasn't good enough,
In my lifetime I'd never given my body love,
I poked and prodded,
But alas,
I still wasn't ever good enough.
My body was my home, My soul.

Based on a scale number,
Or my fucking dress size.

When all I had to do was look,
And fall under my body's spell.
Alas,
I was finally in love.

Fate That Is Set In Stone
The path is worn down and faded,
But I know I will be a step closer to
All of my happiness. No more jaded
Or dark secrets. There will be blue
Skies and bright rainbows because
Everything I could ever want is you.
The higher purpose in life is to pause
And take it all in. Our smiles and
Make our world a better place. Flaws
Going down the shore. Having a hand
To hold and a voice to hear through it
All. Someone to help you understand
The pain and suffering. When you fit
And feel like you finally found your
Place right here. You no longer hit
Rock bottom. You know every door,
Open and closed is finally making
Sense. The toxic energy you pour
Out. Every step that we are taking
Gets us closer to never breaking.
But I know I will be a step closer to
All of my happiness. No more jaded

Out. Every step that we are taking
Gets us closer to never breaking.

One day I’ll be the Sum Of All Parts in me,
The good, the bad and all that I’ve planned,
I’ll be at the cusp of what I’ve foreseen,
Not a dream but a reality close at hand.
One day the objectives and breakthroughs,
Will come together just like I designed,
I won’t have a million but I’ll be rich,
With joy, compassion and all that is kind.
I’ll handle unexpected happenstances,
With cool, calm and strategic reserve,
Putting good vibes out into the world,
And in return getting the love I deserve.
One day all the goals I’ve drawn and written,
Will come to fruition for what I’ve yearned,
Gaining wisdom through life experiences,
Fully comprehending everything I’ve learned.
And though I know not everything is perfect,
I will be in a better state of mind and degree,
Because I’m confident that one day in the future,
I’ll be the Sum Of All Parts, the best of me.

LIFE' KISS !
With her everything is always right
even without wings I flight
She porch me in her coarse arms
my head-on her chest so warm
She whispers words of comfort
till i forget my worries asleep
while she bent and kiss my head;
a kiss as light as the touch of a feather
and as quite as a drop of poison.
When she rains am sure to wet
when she rays am sure to melt
but then she is the umbrella
-for the both weather.
So funny! Life with two kisses.
even without wings I flight
She porch me in her coarse arms
my head-on her chest so warm
She whispers words of comfort
till i forget my worries asleep
while she bent and kiss my head;
a kiss as light as the touch of a feather
and as quite as a drop of poison.
When she rains am sure to wet
when she rays am sure to melt
but then she is the umbrella
-for the both weather.
