Take thee love, not for granted

An ordinary day, lazy it must have been,
Seated, browsing nothing particular being seen
When trapped your mind, an alluring name you thought
Impatient to make contact, a manner you sought

It mustered courage positively to steer
Craft the move, wanted to advance near
A casual wish, let me start say hi
A prompt response, a relieved sigh

The anticipation of a friendship begun
Flashes of modest joy, laughter sprung
Dawn again bring in another day
May there be seconds to cherish, once more I pray

Tête-à-tête, and on they grew
Moments away, estranged now so few
Distance closed in, seized within arms so dear
I heeded to what you asked for, love, so clear

Treat me right, care for and love me most,
Be my lady, in you beautiful, rest my boast
A dream come true, a breathtaking you I kiss
Your doting remarks, so sweetened, I miss

Long drives, allow me the bliss of being with you
Softened words, I heard, acknowledged so true
Light caress, they told me how much you adore
Yield in to your love, expectant to soar

The busy strides of life are walking in
The rosy banters trickle now thin
Watch time tick around the clock
Seconds turn into hours, they seem to mock

Take thee love not for granted I plea
Time and attention rushed in, a heavy penalty fee
Been there seen over many repeated times
Oh to love so dear, is that my own blundered crime?

Kiss of a rose

Further than reached, my scent invade your senses
Lift you in a moment of sweet caresses
Gentle to know, how softer to touch
Sweet tingling moments, I have to tell much

Sweet slidings of creamy hues
Arch back, drown in the mighty blues
Whispered words of hush hushes
To measured moves the body blushes

Intoxicated sinks in the drawn close whiff
No different is she, a dark night thief
Your breath she’ll take, leave a sounded heave
Pricking thorn beds, the morning grieve

The gentle rose, long stemmed in grace
The beautiful lady, angeled face
The tauntings of their bodies so beautifully bare
Sweet seductions, desire you to dare

The tender kiss of the rose so red,
Her swaying hips, them she led
The adorned silhouette a designed carve
Succumb to slow delights of making love

My Nile...

Father God I’ve cried my Nile…
All efforts to stop, multiply, fared futile
And gathered has Thee, every rolled drop
Tomorrow You ask me, give me an account of
To what will I subject a depressed me
Life felt heavy be my indignant plea
Have You not laid down, all for my sake,
Give Me your yoke, and Mine take

How many tears gathered in glass
Will Thou overlook Father, let it pass
The callous word so insolently spoken
Settled on a gentle person, left so broken
The whispered sorry, so hushed unheard
What damage to undo, pain smeared
Bottled in guilt, stream out all
Hiding behind pride, a congeal wall
Added waters, flow past my Nile.

A dried stained face saunters to You
Seeking eagerly to stop, how? has no clue
Wretched pompous moments of the past
Added waters to my Nile, don’t last
Father in His love, with His rod to chasten
Pound my crooked paths to straighten
And what father who loves will not discipline
Abba, tears worn out, left behind a sparkled sheen

Take me back..

The smiles they run down the memory lane
And many more a time I skipped into girly laughter
You’ve held me close, I forgot all the pain
Your loving arms, held me, said love you daughter.

I sat by you, on the high stool, watched the kitchen pot
It wasn’t by choice, I rather play out mother
This room is so big, greasy, smelly, so hot
I ain’t gonna cook mum, so why bother

I’ll take my time come back from school
There’s so much I’ve spotted on the way,
I need to splash around, all road pools
Walk the neighbor’s barn, crash down in hay

I’ll come home sooner, roll over play with the dogs
Get up and define me, puppy & furry
I aint gonna sit down, no science or math logs
Oh what whatever, finish get done in a scurry

I’m out in the fields; this is where I want to be
Stand across watch the ripples of a flowing stream
Watch the wonders of the winds blow the green leaf on the tree
Smile away, cuddle dear, hold close my dream

Take me back; wind me to the little gal time
Waking up to the shy sunrise seeping thru the blinds
I’m standing here, poised beautifully tall
I’m searching within, there was this lovely gal I knew when small.

For my little girl to be

I hold your little baby fingers..the softness takes away all the pain
The hours of labor fade away, your baby eyes take my stage
From here on your first before my face
As time turns in, I’ll catch up, keep to your energetic pace

Baby you will grow up, the most beautiful you will be,
I’ll hold your hand, be there when you need me
I’m aware of the time that will come, you prefer I’m not around
Little gal, I stay away, I will, I will hold my ground

Sweetest angel, in little blue angel wings,
Ur chuckling laughter, around the room, plenty joy it brings
As you bounce across the new cut grass
My heart it breaks at your first fall, a million pieces like glass

I watch you school bag in hand, your curly locks beautiful strands
Your chubby hands they hug me warm,
Walk out of the door, you turn to smile
The familiar heartache I feel, sit down a little while

I watch you grow and blossom full
I gleam & then annoyance shake me, as the boys go drool
You run out to college, your black hair dance in waves
You stop at the door, turn back, your most beautiful smile cuts thru my haze

You’re a young lady now, walking down the street tall
Promises you have, dreams galore, big and small
I’ll stand by you, guide you and love you
From this fierce world, my little child I will do my best to protect you

The world at your feet many will bestow
Amidst the dazzling wonders, stay humble, gracefully low
Pray fervently darling, be kind & love fiercely,
I’ve learnt in this time called my life, baby you too, seek God’s wisdom truly.

Love you.. ma.

Dark Night..She tells her tale

She stands still now… she had overpowered the light of the day
She smiles down at the black waves, her victory blankets the bay
She stares deep, takes in the beauty of dark
Velvet pillars they soar high, she watched day pass by, lark.

She’s talking to the moon, winks back to the twinkle of the star
Long friends we’ve been, welcome you from afar
Breathe in the beauty; it’s the sparkle of twilight
Denser, I will get now, it’s the time that is called night

There’s hours to go, & partner me to keep safe
The people they rest now, until morning day break
My friends be silent, heavenly bodies dimmer your lights
The people they rest now, allow peaceful sleep, their souls delight

She accompanies the mother, whispered bedtime rhymes
She watches over the street urchin, counted his day’s dimes
She hushes the voices of sweethearts; draws close the bodies of lovers
She engulfs time in her arms, midnight solace cover

Silent thru her journey, the occasional rustle of the winds
Carries them she heard they needed, drops it for the tired minds
Raging trees they upset her, darker darkness she’ll surround
My people they rest now, hold still hold ground.

The precious dreams they have to be seen unobscured
The blessing from heavens, many prayers now answered
My God has decided to call on you today
Gently & softly, I’ll make the path for His angels, obey.

Daughter of time so unearthly, in graceful black I stand
Watch over, I fulfill my responsibility towards this human land
Raising myself up now , swallow my pride within
Looking ahead at the horizon, Dawns breaking in

Goodbye to a known stranger

I ponder back I saw not a time that paths would cross with you
The goodbyes that were said, in my mind were goodbyes true
For you all had been wished well for
When upon new waters new winds you chose to soar.

Time has its ways, miles beyond distance.. fondness
Relations though nameless, beyond time..ageless
Some thoughts surround so as to care,
To watch one smile, even when you know not, its there

It’s a bond of the heart- true and meaningful
Not in a way binding, make it choke, stifle
A way paved by the mind understanding benign
The joys in the heart they rest, memories swell sweet feeling

No meets to obligation, no sets for expectation, no hurt no pain
A pure feeling of bliss in companionship to gain
Acceptance of it is.. pure form of being unconditional
In receiving and giving need it be perennial?

In all honesty I am with you.. and I agree
Beauty of a unnamed relation.. a union so free
Why would that be no surprise to me..no airs ever to impress
Reflecting back just good cheer, simple jest for the moment, allowed smiles caress

Life looks at those moments, when years ran, totaled to none
When the heart a million songs in a single one sung
When the most familiar were distanced from most,
When the stranger unknown counted upon

Then the heart grows fond knowing there is still hope
Allow love to blossom, in this world, man’s dope
And warm love settle over you.. mould you to receive the best that is to be
Little I know this stranger I like, but for the person he is, the best is meant for he
