Your Love has kept me

When the day wears on, disturbed emotions it brings

When time trickles in, the cords of melancholy it sings

When the seconds become heavier, as the moment it passes

When life mocks you, its endless farces

A troubled spirit, a journey down trodden

Fate has it, it seems, all misfortune begotten

Tears roll down, your forever companion,

A lonely one, a lonely daughter of Zion

Temptation prowls on, its pleasures so fair

Sin dances her finest, twirls a beguiling lair

Chanting in melody, charming seduction

O’ to give in, fall into her slow persuasion

A suffocated body, emotions welled up

Desperate to break free, give up this cup

Tear down my mind, body and soul

I am before Thee, a drained out begging bowl

Gentle a glance, gaze down upon me

Withered am I, unheard moan, a distressed plea

Tears no more, there’s only so much

Your Word, Your promise, a feeble hand efforts to touch

Sent down Your angels, in tender care lifted me

Gathered together, placed safely in the bosom of Thee

Sight the Cross, pinned to it all my sin, grief and cry

The world’s was taken over, what was I?

His miracle He calls, If you were the only one

On the rough tree, I’d do for you, all that was done

Long before time began, I have loved you dear

Borne within Myself, I have cried your every tear

Your love for me is eternal, more than my life can behold

Your moments planned for me, in Your likeness to mould

Sheltered and protected, from life’s trial & strife

Your promise never to forsake, Your love has kept me.

The best sweethearts

I should wonder, and stop before I start

But then again, why again, I’ve had the best sweethearts

Should I shy before I begin

Curl the smile, give way, the slow dimpled grin

I’ve been the most fortunate.. oh wait

Perhaps more have they been, (I chuckle)

I watch you happy, flowing on guided by beautiful fate

I’ve prayed nothing less, in your life blessings sparkle

Amazing two, cherished relationships so few,

Was I fortunate to have the ‘bestest’ of loves

A rose petal kissed by soft, early morning dew

No endings perched in a ring, turtle doves

We’ve turned backed looked at images drawn in sands

We’ve smiled as the waves reached over

Took away time from our joined hands

Linger & cherish, the extra moment… we hover

Hearts of gold, He made them, dearer He holds

An upset me, over again, Father a story of old

I’ll question You, for what reason & need

Planted each time, new blooms from a love seed

How can you be, all in one, the most wonderful

The Master favored you, set you apart

And to Him I’m ever grateful,

Let you steal my heart

Au Revoir GE

A journey called GE, a decade it has been

A pathway of opportunities, sometimes thru thick & lean

A mountain of learning’s I’ve enveloped within me close

I walk into a new world, as GE can I pose?

I pray I’ll do justice, for all it has taught,

I’ll look for the comfort, the years had brought

Then I gaze at new horizons, confident as can be,

Over my shoulder, are the years of you GE

My leaders, mentors, managers & guides

In your many teachings security, surely I stride

You’ve let me be, sometimes error and fall

Yet knowing your there, allowed me to face it all

My teams, my friends, my cherished few

Added all to life’s beauty colors & hue

Life’s choicest God has blessed me with

In these beautiful years, He has let me, you meet

I embark a journey, of the other side green

My memories are mine, cocooned within

Shaped & molded, I am for the world to see

Many a credit given, to a place called GE

I bid fare-well, it’s a hard bye to say

If I’ve hurt you, then do forgive I pray

God’s will manifest in all you do

Shine as diamonds, as He has planned for you

Good natured, your blessed with a heart of gold
Many joys and love, may the future unfold

A new journey you have embarked upon
Accomplished life, for this reason gone
Success befriend you in every path
Everything you hold dear, be cherished in your heart

A hand to hold

I reach out for a hand to hold

My morning walks, unaccompanied, I am so cold

I look at my smile, will someone care to share

Childishly walking down the lanes, I wish it to be a pair

The gentle breeze whiffs by my ear

The little butterfly, rests on my shoulder, pauses to hear

I tell her my desire, sit out in dim light

My beloved eyes look into, hold love in sight

Wake up to dawn, in arms that want to hold close

Warm you, your dreams, softly told

With giggles & merry cheer, finally out of bed rose

A happy day, I promise, for you I will unfold

Tossed up, my own cooked breakfast, its laid ;-)

Burnt toast, scrambled eggs, strawberry crush

Between every bite, the promised kisses paid

Smile at the day ahead, all the love & mush

A day I’ve thanked God for, make you all mine

Bury you in hugs & kisses, time tick away

All out to love you, cross every line

In timeless time, be by my side, let me lay

Watch into his handsome deep eyes

No words spoken, yet all you say I’ll hear

Watch across the silence, glimpse you,

What had I done, deserve, such a wonderful price

I look into the heavens, allow me to love

Prepare me first as a person rooted in love, from above

Love cords bind, hold dear & cherish

Your perfect plans unfurl, permit this love to flourish.

Not Alone

The left eye tear, she whimpers for company

So bare, alone she felt, was her destiny

The night dark& cold left back

Faces another day thrown by life’s deck

Along a path so less trodden

Oblivious to the world, she has been forgotten

Picked up her bag of memories, for all good

At life’s crossroads, alone she now stood

Looked back the years, how lovely it all had been

Bustled up with many dreams, she was so keen

Stepped up with gusto, her every stride

She was her own, her own self’s pride

Crumpled she sits, watches her naked heart

Her strewn, ransacked, once perfect, apple cart

How had she allowed, been so naïve

Life’s alone journey, now left to survive

The tear rolled, softly down her cheek

Turned she looked, would someone for her seek

Broken, takes to the ground, alone she bears

Prays to the Father, allow someone to care.

Gathered close, glanced upon His palm

Carved was I, praising in a Psalm

Never alone, have I let you been

My Own Love I have promised, see in John 3:16

Down a path...

Reminiscence of a path they called love

Little packets of memories, bowed with blue-red ribbons

Cushioned with more, tied sent on the feet of a dove

Across the ball room, eyes strode to lock

Treaded softly, towards your arms,

The evening glided slowly, sequenced moves to slow rock

Allowed you to savor, succumb to my charm

Walked down many lanes, green grass whistles

Stop under the old mangrove, pause for a kiss

A light jump over shrub bushes, thorns & thistles

Lied down, stroked your hair, closed eyes to bliss

Waited restlessly those evenings for you to come

A hard day it has been, comfort you yet again

Offer you warm lips, relieve stress, take some

Gentle fingers probe shoulders, withdraw the pain

Bruised my day, what would make you smile

Ran past all the menus, made it worthwhile

Warmly gazed, a hungry fork and knife dine

Washed away, sunk in the delights of twirling wine.

Dark curtained skies, hidden soft glows they tease

Warm love, caress you light

Watch your eyes close, the worries slowly cease

Kiss your dreams, good night.
