A GOD OF STYLE

A satellite picture of the earth,
The second the orange rays hit the ocean,
The woman,
A smile,
Your Sons resurrection,
The first cry of a baby,
Me,
Jesus’ robe,
The purple velvet inYour tabernacle,
The wake of a flowers’ blossom,
Rushing waters,
A shooting star,
Colors of the rainbow,
Laughter,
A helping hand,
The aroma of freshly brewed coffee,
Love,
Your taste is truly impeccable,
Grand!

ELASTIC LOVING

You really are in love with me, aren’t You?
Again I’ve broken free from Your grip,
Running swiftly toward the cliff,
I offer myself to be sifted as wheat,
My prayers are halfhearted,
I have starved myself of You,
Letting my mind feed off thistles,
Enjoying the bruises that follow,
‘Just this once more’, I say,
Then I’m done disgracing You,
I’ll just look at the gourmet meal,
I promise, I won’t eat it,
Scouts honor!
Knowingly You smile,
Bringing to remembrance Your word,
True, lord,
I’ll be licking my fingers before You say J,
Shouldn’t have stayed off You for a second,
Now I’m weak,
Willing to self destruct.
But loving You,
To my rescue again,
My redeemer,
My saviour,
Bringing me to safety.
Always stay near, lord,
Forgive my whims,
Keep me in check,
And I’ll be a son for life.

SOAKING

Often I like to sit in Your presence,
No words spoken,
No jiggling,
Just still,
Taking in Your atmosphere,
Nothing else matters this moment,
I am in the palace,
I am safe here,
I don’t want to say anything to You,
If You don’t utter, I understand,
It’s so peaceful here,
So alright,
I’m the showbread now,
When I’m done soaking
In a bit I’ll be the bread of Your Presence,
I’m elated that I increase when we hang.

MULTIFACETED ATTACK

I’m at crossroads this moment,
The battle within me is fierce,
I knew this day would come,
What I didn’t know was how,
Nice angle you picked ‘king of Hades’,
I was wondering how you’ll let me through this easily,
A transition is near,
A newness is in the offing,
A covenant is pen ready,
The 3 strands are about to be bound for eternity,
Damage is about to hit your ministry,
Allies are being birthed,
Foot soldiers are being promoted to generals,
Typical of you to jab at my weakness in such an hour,
Trying to shove my into another destiny,
Coming at me with all you got,
Tinkering with my thoughts,
Fortunately for me, God is true to his words,
He has given me a way of escape yet again,
I will do His bid and not yours,
I’ll have you flat on your back once more,
I’ll have you squealing in no time,
I’ll get to were He needs me,
The level I yearn,
I’ll walk in the future He intended,
You can bring your ‘A’ game,
I’m ready,
Armor clad,
Spirit nurtured,
Skill, razor sharp,
And my Master strategist ahead,
So bring it on!
Cos I know promotion is nigh!
