FRIEND-SHIPS

                         

Friends , Friendships

The greatest vessels you can ever board

They either keep you afloat 

Or sink you to the sea bottom

Only time and circumstances can tell.

Friends , Friendships

I have learnt to abase in them

I have also learnt to abound therein

The former leading to a richness of loneliness and clarity of thoughts

The latter stirring some form of joy which may or not endure the changing moons,

The sun and the universe owes you the testimony,

But fulfilling the purpose of the moment.

Friends , Friendships

In them, be bright and catch the fish while you are still afloat

You will need them when the vessel stalls mid-sea or docks

And befriend them,the fish, when you hit the sea floor

The may offer you an abode.

Friends , Friendships

There are true friends who are like precious stones

They will go to any height or depth  for you and endure the heat with you

Such, I assure you, are there but very rare to find

So if you do, don't be foolish to let go of them because there are those who will appreciate them.

Friends , Friendships

They bring endless laughter , tears of joy and complete growth in our lives

They also bring great pain , sorrow, and complete stagnation in the same lives

So choose yours wisely, love the true ones and run away from the fake.

YOU DESERVE IT ALL

 I come not because of what you give

But because of who you are

My love, my life

I give to you my heart, my mind

They all belong to you

I can search to the ends of the earth

I’ve dug into the depths of reason

I’ve looked into the heights of wisdom

Indeed, none compares to you

No one else deserves my worship

But you alone

I lay every idol in my life

Anything that I have enthroned

Or that have enthroned itself in my life

I dethrone it for the purpose of your worship

That you alone may take over

My eyes are set on you

My heart clings to you

My lips praise you

My mind thinks of you

My life worships you

SUNDROPS

The sun drops

The curtains fall

The earth stops

No rain falls

                               Shining rain

Falling sun

Rain rays

Sun drops

The rain in the sun

The sun rains

Yes the son reigns

Rays and drops forming a hive

A hive to fill and change our lives

But…think of the moments

the moments of torrents

When all over sudden

All become more of a burden

And you feel heavy laden

Still the sun rains?

Or the sun drops?

No sun rays

It’s dark and I can’t find my way

Can’t even see the trees sway

Helpless I lay

No one to show me the way

It all feels like sinking sand

No firm ground to land

But none of these do I understand

All alone do I stand

With no none to hold my hand

I sit down to ponder

But…noo! the thunder

Striking and shaking the world under

Blurring my vision of the world yonder

Soaked and wet, my clothes I need not to launder

I wonder, wander and wonder

Life feels like a suspender

Should I surrender?

If only, the arms were so tender

Like a rugged terrain

Gone for years without rain

I feel the strain

Overwhelmed with pain

Like a lamb slain

But all is not in vain

On the way is my gain

Lifted will be my shame

Restored my name

Never in this darkness will I be lame

Rain drops, rain pours

Showers, heavy pours

Rain drops! Drops!

Darkness lifted

Clouds disappear

The heavens clear

Rays! Rays appear

Claws !fingers !sun-rays

Voila! La soleil

The sun so bright

Generously giving the light

I no longer need to fight

The battle so tight

Because someone heard my plight

Making everything right

No more night

All’s white! Light

Rain rays

Sun drops

Curtains raised

Praises raised

Sun rays

Son raised
