Own Thoughts
Thoughts an idea or opinion produced by thinking, or occurring suddenly in the mind.
What you see is the product of my own thoughts,
Who you see...
Is a slave chained to thoughts.
See, its like am fighting a little me in my head.
When i got saved 'born again' i surrendered all but its like i forgot what was in my head,
The storage of every sin, Dirt, Seen and heard,
The book of every cursing, swearing words unspoken.
Lust, Greed, Envy and Pride,
They are the opponents in the battle am fighting in my head.
Am sacred! ...

HIV/Aids
She is Beautiful;
Kinda confusing because i cant really tell her age, race, language nor gender,
She is Attractive;
Truth be told, she is my type, i mean she is; short, tall, chubby, round,curvy not forgetting slender.
She comes like reality to my dreams,
As we all dream big, well she is that dreams come true.
All expensive and mind blowing, Blowing even the idea of staying pure.
She wears confidence like makeUp, leaving the scene with no clue.
She is fine!!!
Her voice is like my favorite sound,
Words uttered, like an echo sound in my head...

AS IF
AS IF God needed anything, we treat Him with contempt. Playing trade, we offer up all that we have in exchange for all that we want but refuse to give up what He wants, our hearts, time and sacrifice.
AS IF God depended on our approval, we pick what we want to hear from Him. He has to play with our rules and impress us, or else.
AS IF we loved Him first, we only go to Him in our own time and expect Him to just do as we ask.
AS IF we had worked for the grace we received we are haughty and arrogant. We cannot see anyone God hasn't lifted up to our level.

WHY RUSH
I was really Disappointed, listening to your naked words,
Using all the smooth poetic words,
"Faith cometh by hearing"
And there you were getting me drunk with your deceitful words,
Like the king of the jungle hungry, you where waiting
Waiting to take my innosence!!!
WHY RUSH
The book of life speaks of time for everything,
Now is definitly not the time to be bare,
Yes, Adam knew Eve, then...
Now... it is only fair,
That you know my father before you know me "Bare"
WHY RUSH
"Seek ye first the...

SoulMate
My mind wonders for the several decades,
For a connecting soul to reside,
But nowhere though it held to find,
A loving faithful soul inside,
Searching a soul to meet beside,
That has two souls but one voice..
A soul which creates a warm happiness ,
A sense of belongings together,
An aura of completeness,
And at last I find someone with pureness,
To whom I feel I can pour out of my loneliness,
The words I utter are rusty,
It is so long,
though maybe to you so meaningless,
It’s just a smile that goes with wilderness.
I believe SOUL...

Does it really have to be like this?
I know and you know I will do anything
But does it really have to be like this?
Maybe my words or actions do go that deep
But did they really hit the nerve?
Yes its a fact am not perfect
Its not an excuse but is there someone who is?
Keeping a distance might seem like the only way
But will it really bring an ease?
I know and you know I will do anything
But does it really have to be like this?

Why cant you?
Why cant you?
I try ignoring you
but still you always show your face,
I try shutting down my mind
but still u force the ON button,
Why cant you?
I am alone and lonely
But still...
I try paving a new way
But still..
Why cant you?
It has been a while, I thought you left,
But here you are still blocking my way,
I try paging my book
But still...
Why cant you?
I try making new friends
But you scare them away,
I try opening up to someone
But you always there opening a different door.
Why cant you?...
I try ignoring you

INCIDENCE HAPPEN
I was at the library walking past the book shelf
I don’t know what you were doing but
I bumped into you and your books fell,
I helped you pick them up "Sorry" I said.
CO-INCIDENCE HAPPEN
It was on a Sunday
I saw u standing up as a visitor when I was standing up
I said "Hi" after church then i left.
FATE HAPPEN
It was raining and u where waiting for a bus by my apartment
I offered my apartment to be an umbrella while waiting
Without even thinking about it I knew we were meant to be
That was...

Lost
As I opened my eyes all I saw was trees
A mixture of sounds of different animals, flies like bees
Part of me was scared and the other part was at piece
It wasn’t long when I realized I was lost in a jungle
From that very moment I had a battlefield in my mind I struggled
I was scared
Darkness surrounded me, dangerous sounds, and voices crying I heard
That’s when I thought of a sign I ignored before that danger ahead
For a second I thought maybe it’s just in my head
But that’s when reality strike when I saw something black with red… eyes
Looked...
A mixture of sounds of different animals, flies like bees
Part of me was scared and the other part was at piece

Priorities
She was going through a rough patch
like a tortoise playing fetch
Going through a rough ride
Moving in circles, facing life's Darkest side
Everyone left her feeling helpless
she was confused and hopeless,
then she looked at me and asked: friend,why are you still by my side?
and i answered; Priorities.

Shine
Shine your shine and i will shine my shine
for Jesus is the shinning light upon my life,
So shine the light, you given by He the life and only light
Battle is not mine for He will fight my fight
Holy spirit lead me as i follow His light
So Shine your shine and i will shine my shine
For Jesus is the shining light upon my life.
for Jesus is the shinning light upon my life,
So shine the light, you given by He the life and only light

TAKE CARE
you know life is unstable
Stop shaking
love might be blind
but stop staring
sorry for not being so kind
reality is just braking,
its fine if you don't mind
at least i now know when you faking.
it was nice,let me say
guess i only have one choice, not to stay
for once that's not a lie
so Goodbye!
