Wasted, Saved and Renewed

So He stretched out his hand and he said " take it "

So scared I was because I've been sinful
Drifted away from his presence
Drowning in my own sins
It was choking 
Even though he made me fearless 
I was clothed in iniquity
So I stood tremulous
For I had been living days without his light
I was blind
Even his words said "Ask and it shall be given to" you but I dare not ask
Scared his wrath might remember me
For at a point I felt I had been shunned by Him
Constant betrayals from people I trusted
Numerous problems with people I thought I could die for
So I got lost
Stolen by sin
Blinded by life
and these flashy things it showed me
I knew I was doomed but I felt okay with that
For I had no one around.
Just shattered dreams and broken thoughts
ill gotten money and this liquor to bury my fears...
Every night I try to stay afloat but I kept going down into unclean waters
I needed true friends but all I had were lovers of wealth...
Women of various shapes
Caribbean Ethiopian Italian Nigerian
But I was lost
If only someone would find me
Call me to say they genuinely had thoughts of me
It was a lot on me
I was in this hole and then this voice from this light came to me
it said

"Be your sins as red as scarlet
Take my hands and I shall make you white as snow......"
This voice from the light gave me assurances from the book of life.
Said that even when I strayed he loved me the most
Waiting on me to come to terms with myself and ask for help.
There and then did I recall the words of the Holy book which says

He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
nor punished us according to our iniquities.
For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
(Psalm 103:10-12)

With My trembling legs and quivering mouth I asked
 Who am I that you love me this much...
And I heard
The offspring of the most high
Walk with me let me take you places,
 deep you in clean waters
and restore your soul......

WASTED, SAVED AND RENEWED

SHARE THIS LIME WITH ME

I want you to be the one to
share these moments with me
When the spot light is on me,
 I want you to be in light with me...
This hand has got space enough for you
This stage has got some room for you
For without you what really have I got.
You are all that is and would be
For these joys you bring me
I can't get elsewhere
Every moment with you gets engraved in time as "unforgettable "
For no matter how far I go
And no matter how deep I fall
Your light leads me back
Please share these moments with me......

STRETCH MARKS

STRETCH MARKS
-----------------------

I do not mind if you've got stretch marks over your hips and thighs
I wasn't watching out for all that
I am in love with your soul
The best part of you
That which makes you whole

But if you most know
Stretch marks represent lightning
Exposing how strong you are
I love you just as you are a shooting star
I do some day hope to touch and count them all

If I were an artist
I draw them
A musician
I sing about them
But as a writer
I pen these words

Do not be shy of the markings of your body
Evidence that you were crafted so well with time and that you have lived
You are a part of nature and your body is art
You are special and I accept this fact

For you to rip apart and heal again
I would love you even better for the shining marks I would never complain.....
With all the cuteness it adds to your  skin..
Take my hands as we begin

You try to hide them
But I would love to study them because they deserve to be.
Look closely into them,
they are connections to show how interwoven we all are

I love you nonetheless
I cherish your soul
You good woman with life's strength markings.

FOR BETTER FOR WORSE

    She said she would find Him no
            matter how far He went

    She said she would love Him no
            matter how bad He gets

    She said she would keep Him no
  matter how much He wanted to
                         leave

    He smiled and said she had Him
        no matter what time it was
            (for better for worse)

THE "HER" EFFECT

 The "Her" Effect

Lately I hardly sleep
Not like I deprive myself  sleep over you

But after day time convos with you
I go to sleep and there you again
You fill my day and night
Evidence to show how madly in love I am with you

Long time I damned the side talks
Long time I set me a side for you

Most of these people keep having issues with why it is you
Why I'll go out of my way for you
Why I'll do whatsoever to please you

I wasn't dating for some flings

I was dating to make you a wife
That  point they find hard to get

I'll keep telling you;  you are the juice, the sauce, the game, my  limelight and my lifeline .....

YOU

 YOU

Like water I flow to you
For you study even my waves

Like fine wine  you sparkle
You bring my stars closer

My supplement to a better life
For you my pen flows when pressed  to plain pieces of papers

With the Power you bring me Like healthy oil
To the strength your presence fills me with

For our love would never grow old
Waxing  stronger
Listen to my heart beat

For with you I feel all the magic
The butterflies  are back again
I feel them in my tummy.

YOUR LOVE

Your Love


Like conscience  your love walks with me
In every decision I make your words put me through

Your constant intellectual romance
Keeps this love burning this is true
I see God through you

You make my dreams come true
With you I'm living
You take the flaws away for me
Making me feel good

Just like the taste of Fine Wine
We get better with age
You  commend my existence

Indeed I'm lost without  you
Always quick to remind me
love costs nothing
May we cheers to our kind of love
Love unbroken and true.

I HAVE MET YOUR TYPE BEFORE

I know your type
That which comes claiming to love lock down

Claiming to wanna go the whole nine yards with one

When all they just wanna do is heal with one before they move on or while away time

Always appearing at the right time but with the wrong type of vibe all on deceit

Most times people just get tired of meeting same kind of people in  diffrent bodies.
So tiring

I have met your type before.

PROMISE

               PROMISE

            So I promise to love you
                  Come what may
            As I promise to love you
                  Come with me
            Take away the worries
                  Listen to me
            As I be true to you
                  Stay with me
     For there would  be none other
                 Just you for me.

LOVE UPON EXCUSES

Love Upon Excuses

 So today again I'm up with my usual excuse
 " wish I was close enough"
the last time I recall I said
" wish I was there for you"
Each of these celebrations, I just miss out like I do not care for you
yet you still show me love like I was close enough for you,
Even when distance was the stress to you

The cares you give out; so much that I always have thoughts of you
Each passing day I just sit and make plans for you
because you make me see life not like I used to do
This sometimes breaks me down; most times I feel a fool

But believe  you me my love
 soon we shall groove like we never sent just messages when we had no cash for call credits  and had no gifts to prove.
You still are my sunshine 
That special one who brings me blessings that breaks the roof.
 Happy Valentine's  Day My Love

FOR MY VALENTINE

For My Valentine

 A day to ignite the love
              Set ablaze the feeling
Letting love lead the way
              Like light to path
For love without romance is stale
For without
              it dies or 'wears' or wears the frown of the old

A day I reckon with the truth of your love
       In all I want to be your all  
because you have become my everything

          I am constantly  reminded  that you are one of a kind
        One in the world
One piece
            to be written about;more words than the standard dictionary 
The brightest star in the sky
           My muse
You preserve my sanity.
           For in this love we were meant to grow
I'm lovestruck
          Love crazy 
My satisfaction
          You keep me in the ocean of your love

This love has no definition
         That which a lot wait a lifetime for
 You give me on a platter of gold  and I'm keeping for my lifetime
For you rendered me the key to your heart and true love
         Your application of wisdom to everything bewilders me
You are Light
          For just as you are mine I am yours.

'WRITE' PLACES

'Write' Places

Let me capture you in my words
Taking you to 'write' places
Appraisals of you after conscious glances at all the contours of your body
The least I could do for now.

But before that
I want you to want me
 just as much as I want you and would want you to want me
Plan dates that leads to intellectual romance
One not ending so soon
Where we rob off each other ideas; being for ourselves muse
No rebuffing.

Loving each other even more after we discover how worthy we are
and the power we hold.
Wanting each other like
That crave that drives us
Waiting to have a taste from the fountain of knowledge; our lips Clashing like butts twerking
Tongue piercing like penis thrusting.
Longing for our sweetness in patience.
Let me take you to 'write' places
The least I could do for now.

Healing Just To My Soul

HEALING JUST TO MY SOUL
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Just to remind you
It was hard enough for me to call a place home
But then I met you
And I felt at home

To me
Meeting you went beyond mere  hook ups and bonding
It affected me subliminally
I realized

It was you who I saw before bed
and as I woke to the sun rays, fresh air with the smell of fresh bread from your mother's bakery across the street..reminding everyone it was a new day and the sight of fresh morning dew on the grass outside my window.

The euphoria that tapped me everyday for the fact that finally your dad became cool with me being around you.
These minute things matter indeed.

Before the rain I looked out my window
I could see you look up
I know you wished I would call out
Pretty alluring one with the pink lips

You healed my soul.
But my legs are still same.
Wish you didn't tell me all you did.
I wouldn't have walked out backward and gotten plowed into by the reckless driver.

MY KIND OF LOVE

My Kind of Love

Eternal love
Subjected to nothing
Breaking every boundry
Creating thicker bonds
Going beyond the physical

So I wanted to be inside her
Even before I got a chance to thrust
 into her
Like mind romance before
 the right time
Reading each other like books
Keeping the chemistry alive

Like crisscrossed minds
I wanted us to grow
Interwoven into each other
Inseparable
By these harsh times and a
broken world
Making our words our bond
That no matter the weather we never wither

That in development, we teach each
 other
That in loving ourselves even more,
 we teach each other
Seeing no one else as we see each other
Breaking the labyrinth
Discovering ways to each other.
