Best of My Life

This is going to be
Best of my life
I finally found one
To spend my life
One to share my
Sorrow and my joy
She is one who brought
Me joy
I missed her all my life
I want her to be my wife
I wish I knew her all my life.
I think she is an angel
'Cause in my dreams I saw angels
Reaching out for me.
She is only one who think of me
Dream of me,
And I see her in my dreams
And never want to wake again.

No Time For Love

I have no time for love
All my time is for work
I have no time for Church
Though I love Religion
And God of the Religion

What do you say
Those Religious hipocrites pray
And I steal
Blessings are not just for those
Who kneel
But for the once who heed
What the Holy Book preach

But I do not care what you think
And I do not love you
I do not love Church
Though I love Religion
And God of the Religion

I Lost It All

I lost it all
Waisting twenty years in a church
Thinking I was serving a God,
Too late did I realise
There was never a God in a church.
The God I knew made me
Lives right in my heart,
And my righteousness keeps Him there
.
I lost it all
Wasting so many years
Ahering to religious doctrines
Thought by religious hipocrites.
But too late did I realise
That religion has only been brought
To confuse us.

Best of All

Over the years, I could recall
My father is not best of all
He brought me here
And left me uncared.
And now I am here
Struggling to get there
Never a hand he extend.

My mother one way
Is best of all
Solely she brought me up,
Me and my sisters.

By petty trading, and selling
Of almost all her priced wrappas,
She saw us through school.

Over the years I could recall
My mother one way is best of all.

Hell is a Fiction

I fear hell,
not death
Hell is a fiction
Created by hipocrites
Who felt
Others needed
Be controlled
By ideas as foolish
As religion
Hell is an illusion
No one ever
Lived to tell a tale of.
But I saw death
When the armed robber
Pointed at me
his instrument,
I saw death when
I narrolly escaped
The accident.
Show me another hell

Beautyful Rose

Rose, what beauty you are
With those eyes, shinning
Like stars,
I can look the sun in the eyes
And yet I can't look you in the face,
How much you intoxicate me.
So you have a legion of them
Around you, crying, begging and
Pleading forsomething I want
For me, and me alone.
And if you leave me?
I will not cry, nor beg, nor plead.
I will go back to the begining
And say I don't want
Anymore from cupid.

Rhyme 2

Life is but a passing phase
At this stage
My life is at-stake
I am old,
I never stopped growing old
My end is near, very near
Please give my words ear
The end is near, very near
Please give the preacher ear
Prejudice is homicide
Fight for your life
Dont let anyone help you decide
Live the right life.
You want to get there?
Strive until you get there
You should only retire,
When your life-span expire.

Fading Away

I am fading away
To a place faraway
Where there will be no end
There will be no death
Just joy day and night
If I am right
Here is where I'd be
I see it in my dreams
But you are changing me
The world is pulling me
This is my one setback
Social vices dragging me back
How do I survive this
If you are not here
To help me
Let us fade away for eternity
This is my number one priority
A new world
A changed world.

Oh My Friend

O my friend
Have you heard?
The end is coming
I hear them trumpeting
The Son of the Father
Is descending
And now they are ascending
They are flying to eternity
But these once,
Are they truelly holy?
I mean the once flying
.
Oh my friend!
Now look at the Heavens,
It is darkening
Have you seen it yet?
Lucifer is sinking
With hin, His comrades
Lamenting endless
Decades inartarus

Poems

My poems of love
I dedicate to Africa,
And my love in America.

I love you Naomi.
Do you love me too?

I love Poetry,
And I love Photography,
But I love you more.

Yesterday we were
Two birds in love,
Today, you dont even trust me
But tomorrow you might
Be marrying me.

Naomi, would you listen to the
Song of the Muses
Cupid's arrow is coming.
