I LOVE HER... I DO
I served my land
I have toured the world
Took great care of my kids
Lord you know I have paid my dues
I have lived my life
I am ready to go out
Just a word Lord man to Man if I may
Before the next step this one wish I pray
"To tell her i love her,i love her i do."x2
She has been the love of my life
Still believes in me;Certainly there is nothing to salvage
Feeds me with a spoon,combs my falling hair,change my diapers...
Still she smile at me with those...

YES IT DOES FADE
There was a time every song in my playist was a reminder of you
There was a time every look in the mirror was tailor made to please you
Yes there was a time everything i said was ment to fit to soothe you...
Yes there was a time
a time i was ment for you
a time i was yours for the asking...
Yes it does fade
the love the joy the tears the pain
the vows the dreams the lies the ache...
Yes it does fade
just like time and seasons so do persons too
you are a faded memory in a faded book...
Yes it does fade.
There was a time every look in the mirror was tailor made to please you

the love the joy the tears the pain
the vows the dreams the lies the ache...

you are a faded memory in a faded book...

BE THE EAGLE THAT FLY WITHOUT WINGS
It is only when a man allows the pride of his name to surpass the rule of his ego that he achieves unimagiable measure of power and success in unfamiliar territory!
Don't be scared to sail in strange waters
Break free from shackles of fear,doubts and societal limits whose yields are only mediocrity and boredom!
Go rogue try higher heights!
Bike a trail on a road yet travelled
Build a Castle in the wilderness!
You are A Lion;Roam!Rule and Reign the jungle!
......................................Goodnight....................................

SHE DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY
Ta ta ta!One Ta ta ta...andddd turn!"
There she is!Finally!
Like a feather wiggling to the tune of the desert wind
she is shaking and spinning like a snake on a mission!
"Oh boy!" She miss a step and falls on a pair of trembling legs
"Lol!Its been too too too long!"
She had forgot how good it feels
how good she used to feel
She forgot how good she is at this!
"Woooooohhhhhh!" She screams. "Time to loose my cool!Hahaaa!"
A notch higher and she's at it again
letting go allowing her spirit to lose control
as...

THE BLADE
Your shrieks cuts through my heart like a sharp piece of a double-edged steel.Your oozing wounds and the leak on your scars recites a horrific tale of unbearable agony and pain that the sum of all tears you shed through the years and all the tears you yet to,can never capture.
The sun has drowned,paving way for the demons that terrorize your soul when the light goes out;It is another night,just like the other night and the other previous previous…nights.At the comfort of the stained bathroom floor,you sited cutting deeper and deeper and deeper on every staring vein,each time...

SIDE BY SIDE IS THE PROMISE.
Like two stars in the sky
shining brighter side by side
like a chorus echoed in every verse
Destination at the end of every trailing road;
So is you and i.
Side by side is the promise
you be the question i'll take the answer
lead the way you know i'll follow
This being the beginning takes us through forever;
By your side i will ride till we die.
............................................Amen.....................................

TO LOVE LAUGHTER AND LIFE
(Dear Angel,i long to see the stars light up in your eyes when you smile,Oh Lord!You been sad for far too long.So,i wrote this little poem for you;Just something simple,a whisper of hope and wish that your upcoming 26th birthday will stir your heart open;To love,laughter and life again.)
At some point you'll have to stop hiding;
Let the sun rays kiss your skin once more.
You cannot stay in the shadows forever!
At some point you"ll have to let your heart free;
Allow yourself to feel learn to trust again.
You cannot stay numb and locked up...

DON'T GIVE UP YET.
No dark cloud hang on forever.
Eventually
It falls and give way to sunshine and blue skies.
Don't give up yet.
Eventually
Those tears will run dry and you will smile,laugh and dance again!
xoxo!
Goodnight/day.

WHATS A WOMAN TO DO #diary of an army wife.
Sometimes when signing a contract," says her man in a calm rational voice."I have a choice to take either half the deal or leave it.Walk away with nothing."
"You have a choice baby," he looks at her with pity,sympathy or perhaps love?(i cannot tell)takes out the pen from his highly decorate coat,reads through again and tell her, "Take the 50% love,its all i have to give.Otherwise, i will sign this papers if thats your wish.You walk away.You knew the stakes long before we said 'i do,' why do you want to change the game now?"
"It is yours to make baby,its yours to make." He kiss her...

HOMESICK
I feel like a child
lost in the dark corridors of a haunted house.
Right... left...i cannot find a center.
Every sight every sound too far from what is familiar.
New contract,new town,new house...
New everything.
My heart aces for home.
lost in the dark corridors of a haunted house.
Right... left...i cannot find a center.

New contract,new town,new house...

WHAT MAKES YOU DANCE
What makes you dance?
Is it the sound of his voice on the other end of the line
soothing you;"Close your eyes baby,its gonna be alright"
When you cannot sleep late at night?
What makes you dance?
Is it the thought of his exotic perfume or the spicey taste in his breath?
The shivers that spasm all over your body aroused by his husky tone?
Or is it the crazy way his eyes caress your ass when he gets home?
What makes you dance?
Is it the beauty of his surname at the end your name?
Is it the vows and...
Is it the sound of his voice on the other end of the line
soothing you;"Close your eyes baby,its gonna be alright"

"WE WERE MADE TO BE COURAGEOUS"
When the going gets tough
you toughen up and keep driving through the snow and the mud.
Don't hang your coat on the side line
watch others pass you by;
Buckle up and keep that siren going.
Every new day is a struggle
it's another challenge to tackle
a break or make moment.
So many are breaking
Why don't you be the one to touch the finish line?
(Inspired by casting crowns song; "Courageous".And ofcourse by the situations we face every day.)
Thanks for reading.Have a good day/night.
