POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Varying moods create the canvas to which I express myself with words... Words are the vehicle to which I offload my heart's burdens.

Caught In a Vortex
It's funny how zeal can be a trap,
and passion becomes a snare.
Be careful because...
Punctuality can lead to fatality.
I didn't need an alarm clock to wake me,
4 hours past midnight I was prepared...
Frantically making my way to the office gate.
No breakfast,
Document in hand.
Surely I Would be first in line.
To my horror I met a crowd,
Had they slept at the venue?
Quickly I joined in as we formed a siege
Behind the barricade.
Four gruelling hours later agitation blazed.
Tempers escalated as men...
and passion becomes a snare.
Be careful because...
Punctuality can lead to fatality.
I didn't need an alarm clock to wake me,
4 hours past midnight I was prepared...
Frantically making my way to the office gate.
No breakfast,

Had they slept at the venue?
Quickly I joined in as we formed a siege
Behind the barricade.
Four gruelling hours later agitation blazed.
Tempers escalated as men...

Happy Birthday To Me
Great man.
Time will only reveal
the gem in you.
Always treat others as God said.
Never be partial,
Always be just.
Let your yea be yea.
Fear God, honour the king.
Help the needy,
Tolerate all men.
Teach and be teachable.
Give and receive love.
You are blessed!
Time will only reveal

Fear God, honour the king.
Help the needy,
Tolerate all men.
Teach and be teachable.
Give and receive love.
You are blessed!

Jesus Holds me
I screamed for help.
Trapped in a box with no exits,
The floods pouring in.
Gasping for air as I slowly asphyxiated.
The signs were clear but I ignored,
The friends that led me astray now mocked my fall.
Salt upon injury.
All was lost, nothing to live for.
I had failed everyone,
Especially God.
Time to end it all!
Dark thoughts as I drowned.
But I remembered he told me
That he would never leave nor forsake me.
Could he answer me now after all I had done to him?
In desperation I cried...
"Lord, where are you?...
Trapped in a box with no exits,
The floods pouring in.
Gasping for air as I slowly asphyxiated.
The signs were clear but I ignored,
The friends that led me astray now mocked my fall.
Salt upon injury.
All was lost, nothing to live for.
I had failed everyone,
Especially God.
Time to end it all!
Dark thoughts as I drowned.
But I remembered he told me
That he would never leave nor forsake me.
Could he answer me now after all I had done to him?

Cloud Nine
Pictures of bliss fill my thoughts,
Painted by your sweet words.
Glimpses of the future reverberate.
Have I been tranced?
As I ponder, many memories return.
Your flaws I can clearly see,
The tantrums, the occasional attitude...
I see it all.
But I see more- your strengths.
I see even clearer-
The kindness, thoughtfulness, sincerity.
The truth of your love shatters all my doubts.
True love breaks all my defenses,
and pulls down my high walls.
As more pictures converge,
I dream of the future with you.
Sweet, loving,...
Painted by your sweet words.
Glimpses of the future reverberate.
Have I been tranced?
As I ponder, many memories return.
Your flaws I can clearly see,
The tantrums, the occasional attitude...
I see it all.
But I see more- your strengths.
I see even clearer-
The kindness, thoughtfulness, sincerity.
The truth of your love shatters all my doubts.
True love breaks all my defenses,
and pulls down my high walls.
As more pictures converge,
I dream of the future with you.
Sweet, loving,...

Always Missing You
Not a day goes by
without you in my thoughts.
Distance is cruel,
Time and space conniving
to take you away from me.
But you must live your life,
and be all you set out to be.
I want you here,
But I can't hold you back.
Why is life so complicated?.
As the sun sets,
and the day count increases,
so does my desire to see you again.
I know that someday,
when the time is right,
You will be mine forever!
But till then,
I will keep missing you,
My love.
without you in my thoughts.
Distance is cruel,
Time and space conniving
to take you away from me.
But you must live your life,
and be all you set out to be.
I want you here,
But I can't hold you back.
Why is life so complicated?.
As the sun sets,
and the day count increases,
so does my desire to see you again.
I know that someday,
when the time is right,
You will be mine forever!
But till then,
I will keep missing you,
My love.

Yes I am Emotional
I am not strong...
according to your definition.
You even call me irrational,
an illogical beast
always needing a leash...
Well I am tired of your leash.
I am sick of acting cool,
Putting facts before heart.
Don't tell me to smile and say everything is okay,
When deep down I burn with grief.
"Hey!" I am sick of appearances.
When down, let me cry.
I only ask for your shoulders.
When happy, let me scream.
I only ask that you do not stop me.
When next I cross the line,
When next I do not conform,
When next I...

Mind Your Business
Mind your business,
Do not bother yourself
With people's trouble.
Mind your business,
Do not listen when people
Complain of their struggle.
Mind your business,
Do not settle a quarrell,
So on your head doesn't land a bottle.
Mind your business,
Do not help if it is
Not part of your hustle.
Mind your business,
Nobody really cares,
They want you gullible.
Mind your business,
Do not add more,
You have a lot to handle.
Mind your business,
The narcissist's favourite...
Do not bother yourself
With people's trouble.
Mind your business,
Do not listen when people
Complain of their struggle.
Mind your business,
Do not settle a quarrell,
So on your head doesn't land a bottle.
Mind your business,
Do not help if it is
Not part of your hustle.
Mind your business,
Nobody really cares,
They want you gullible.
Mind your business,
Do not add more,
You have a lot to handle.
Mind your business,

Alone
The sound of his voice
echoes in my subconscious.
In deep meditation I
Descend to the depths of silence and
Ascend into light.
I am alone but not lonely,
Because even in my solitude...
I am truly - never - alone - for
The Father,
Son and
Spirit
Are in attendance and,
Are always
With me...
Always!
echoes in my subconscious.

Descend to the depths of silence and

Overthinking
Imaginations
Visual projections originating
From my overly stimulated cortex
Converge into
Countless calculations
In the space of seconds
Brooding
I sit on my eggs
Of projections and predictions,
Fervid diligence,
Irrational madness,
"crack", they hatch.
Fear
My body shakes and quakes.
Proceeding from cracked shells
Are eerie interpretations.
"When did I start seeing the future?"
"Now, I guess"
Headache
Overworked organs do protest,
Cerebral pains...

To My Little One
A time must come
When the game must end-
The blame game.
When the ashes must usher in new life
Completing the cycle of nature.
Little one rise from defeat.
Men are forged from failures,
Disappointment is only a tool most lethal
In the hands of the determined...
Be wise!
Free your mind
Let go of the past
Embrace change
Seize the future...
Be strong!
You must grow up
And speak up
You must learn to
Take the bull by the balls....
Always stand your ground!
When the game must end-

Dim Hope
Is it wrong to believe
That all will be well
When darkness seems to be
The only light I see.
That all will be well
When darkness seems to be
The only light I see.

They Eat Flesh and Drink Blood
Round the table are Nobles,
With a feast of blood and meat.
Not the regular animal treat,
But food fit for a king,
Prepared by the King of Kings.
Round the table are the Initiated,
Circumcised by the spirit,
Eyes stained,
Hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience.
They eat and drink at the LORD's table.
Round the table are Priests,
In their midst is the High Priest,
His flesh they eat and blood they drink,
They are no longer ordinary,
Not after this!
Round the table are Men,
Of different classes...
With a feast of blood and meat.
Not the regular animal treat,
But food fit for a king,
Prepared by the King of Kings.
Round the table are the Initiated,
Circumcised by the spirit,
Eyes stained,
Hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience.
They eat and drink at the LORD's table.
Round the table are Priests,
In their midst is the High Priest,
His flesh they eat and blood they drink,
They are no longer ordinary,
Not after this!
Round the table are Men,
Of different classes...
