PENITENCE

Dear fair maid from the east, Receive 'hi' from a dark male in the west. The day drags by slowly, While I lie still and lowly. I have fears and much unbelief, But the "Good Lord" calls for much belief. My great sin I have to reckon, But great grace steadily beckons. Help me O Lord I'm unstable, Keep me through times and stable. Forgive the much sins of my youth, Such evil spewed from my mouth. Whatever life betides I urge and pray,  Lemme not sway and stray. For my heart, keep low and humbly bow, To live and recognize your sovereign wow. I beg in Jesus name, Amen ~LEMUEL 26-11-2020

LOVE IDIOT

Remember how crazy you were *to love*,  You stayed up all night wishing for the stars, Cuddling and rolling through the sheets, Praying for an angel.  Now you know better; To love is to inflict yourself with needles. To pierce your skin and cry to the moon for relief. To love is to self destruct. Remember how intense you wished to love. To ride your clouds of vanity; Beauty finally got her Beast. He (Beast) will pull your tooth and kiss the pain away. He will invade your walls and steal your soul. Pity! Now you know better; To love is leave your doors open, To watch your heart follow a stranger. To love is a Risk. Don't awaken love when you ain't ready. H. Sophia Reflections  26-06-2020

DARK SHEPHERD

Tatarus gate is opened, The grim reaper carrying a scythe lead his sheeps to the pen. Among the flock is a lone one, A lone sheep cut down in his prime, Such burst of energy drained out in a sec. On a path to save life, he lost his; What a dream turned sour. O grim reaper, dark shepherd of death, Why steal a dream and the dreamer? Visions high and lofty, Testimony yet to share. Why cut a beautiful story short? Good bye is hard to say to a voice still ringing in the mind. This pain would take a while to heal. But We know That All things Works Together  For Good. There is redemption  In Tatarus. Good Night  L'Sages 25-07-2020

MY FRIEND AND HER MAN

She really doesn't know her man A scum with nothing to offer but pain It's funny how these things happen  She has shown him kindness, yet he seeks his gain A scum with nothing to offer but pain Has caught the unguarded heart of my friend She has shown him kindness, yet he seeks his gain I wish I could do much from my end ''Has caught the unguarded heart of my friend'' Were the words that kept piercing my mind I wish l could do much from my end She really doesn't know her man Sapphire 30-07-2020

STRANGERS

Let us go back to our home town We are strangers on this island And its dwellers aren't hiding their frown Hope they don't sniff our lives out before we see Land We are strangers on this island We must take caution for ourselves So they don't sniff our lives out before we see land Hence, we may need to hide between the shelves We must take caution for ourselves Remain alert while on the run Hence, we may need to hide between the shelves Let us go back to our home town Sapphire 30-07-2020

LETTER TO A POET

Dear Joe, how are you? I am feeling so blue Cooking this word stew, But it's for a friend so true among a few. This year, we've survived the flu; Frankly grace came like a dew, Coz times were hard and our plans were skew. We'll spend the year's last days to brew. But through the hu and the phew, You added another lace to your shoe. Going forward my friend, have a new view. Paint your canvas and add a new hue. Always stay true; Pursue, subdue, and renew. Happy Birthday Sir Joe 13-11-2020 ~Lemuel

TAKE MY HEART BY FORCE

My God, my Father, day by day My heart would not choose to stay. For the wild it wills to stray, Please take my heart by force. For worldly pleasures, My poor soul treasures, My simple grace can't stand the pressures, Please take my heart by force. This life I live with so much crave, To will or not, my soul deprave, Cause me to behave,  Please take my heart by force. What sick world I'm born, Loved ones lost we daily mourn. To walk, I can't, I 'm already worn, Please talk my heart by force. Please keep your love in my heart, Your beauty paint; what precious art! The way I trod, O help me chart, Please take my heart by force. ~LEMUEL 03-12-2020

GRAVEL PLEASURES

The demons within me are knocking, Petrified , I stand lone and I'm gawking. Scratching and clawing, my soul they call for dialogue; Sinless soul I pray resist the desire for such monologue. But pure desire swells for the prohibited; This feisty fire can't be inhibited. Stolen water is indeed sweet, Pleasure and passion would meet. In the end it fills the mouth like gravel, Guilt so large I cannot shovel. For grace, for grace I plead; Your mercy is all I need. ~Lemuel 28-11-2020
