“Creation reveals Your Glory ”
an inspired writer wrote
this rings true this morning
as clouds like waterfalls ,
flow down the mountains
the sun shining pale through
the vapour of the ‘falls’
lillies herald the morning
as coy daisies await
bright light to join in praise
,tis a beautifull morning
like every other
since the dawn of creation
when “creation began revealing
Your Glory “
“Creation reveals Your Glory”
Imogen
Imogen is back
no matter how hard
I try she’s always there
like the white foam
of the ocean
Imogen has followed me
since a child
never to protect me
never to be friend
but always to remind
me of the past ,
the past I cannot shake
the past that is like
record stuck on a song
Imogen I PRAY leave me
let me be happy
your presence is toxic
let me live a life of peace
stop reminding me
of the hurt , Imogen
let me live my life
free of anger
free of hate
free to forgive
Imogen please leave this
night so free I’d be
to sleep this night
please let me heal-
and forget my past
Strong confident women
Strong confident women
thats all you hear
“we know what we want,
and we go and get it”
strong confident women
have you forgotten
how you came to be
where you are?
the sisters the mothers
the fathers who said
“girl you can be anything you want”
the mother who stayed in
an abusive marriage
to give you an education ,
the women who went without
food so you could eat –
strong confident women
you say “men you guys are
fun to have around ,but we
dont need you ”
you never thought that
when you were sleeping
your way to the top
have you forgotten your sister
who stood by you
when your heart was broken
so why do you dispise her
if she is not as educated as you
as rich as you ,as successfull as you
strong confident women
if your’e that strong
that confident
why do you see the need
to let everyone know
your’e strong and confident
it should radiate from within
like that of Ruth , Sarah and Rebekka women of old
who were beautifull ,strong ,
confident ,gracious and loyal
these along with mothers
grandmothers and sisters
before you were
strong confident women
Mother Ocean
I stand on your shores
beckened by your call
I listen to you say :
“come with me ”
into the ocean I go
waves pull me closer
but What is this ?
Where is all the sea life
your water coloured with oil
papers decorate your sandy shore
the saying come to mind
“one mother can take care of
13 children, 13 children cant take
care of one mother”
the millions of children
on this earth have not
looked after you
The inner ‘Thing’
Its not always what you think of
Its not always what you expect
This is about rules that are broken
This is about a dynamite blowing big holes
You’ll never understand this,like you did not understand math
They be waving hands higher but if you check under their feet,there is a table
Talking so much like a brass band playing many trumpets
But it all turns to this “What’s outside its not always what’s inside”
Yes they look so harmless but yet so evil
Beware of a wounded tiger,also beware of its cubs
Self praise
I’m a knight of the night
Yeah! Man I’ve been grinding
No need to get whining
U know I’m always wining
Its been long but I’m still kicking
Deep in the sea I’ll be swimming
So high in the sky,I’ll be diving
Making em so cool,I like mixing
Better beware of pretty charmer like I
U don’t know a serial killer when u see one
I thought of slaughtering you since you’re an animal
Better take this seriously because its educational
I like speaking my mind,Yeah I know I’m motivational
God left everything just to make me
Guess that’s the reason that I’m so blessed
Guess that the reason u snitches are bowing your heads
Windmills
Days are getting colder,Â
Where you now she needs you to hold her.
Adore her
Tell her why you been so still,
She wants to know why when you away,
The windmills don’t spin.Â
Like days are quite and drag through
Because every second is agony when she’s away from you..
Enticed to call, luckily her heart is scorned.Â
You have no choice but to let go even when every inch of me screams screw my ego,
Don’t let this pride stand in the way When you love her tell her
There’s freedom in the things we say.
Expressing one’s self to the other half.
True reflection of pain, sorrow in your arms.
Embrace the hurt he caused
Because wounds heal when we love again.Â
We learn to fly with wings unclipped we say things uncensored
we become unapologetically queen of hearts.Â
Love is a game with no rules
Hidden riddles in messages
But no substance
Just consequences.
Facing challenges that challenge our excistance.
We more apart than together
but our hearts are one forever
Just blessed to have met you
So i dedicate this poem to nobody but you.

Listen
Listen,listen,listen…
to the wind strumming
the grassy meadows
listen to the birds sing
as their choir master
sets for his slumber
Listen to the sound of the wind
as the reeds dance in tune
feel the moving air on your skin
and breath …..just breath
take in the moment
this is life enjoy it !
Listen to the One who
who all this created …listen
to His Voice and hear him speak
listen and you will be blessed
and you will listen now and forever ….to the sound of the wind
