Love Him Because. Poem.

Love Him because
He put the Sun and moon there
To tell you he is the one who
Shows up faithfully
Every day and every night.
Even though some points in your life
Have felt like
Hell on this realm
You knew something was carrying you
Like a sure raft
Over the merciless waters.
Love him because
Your soul needs an embrace
Tight enough to
Fuse your broken bits back together
And though you thought you did not love him
For taking grandma
When you needed her most
He is the reason there was
Contentment and no fear in her eyes
When she knew
She was about to take sleep.
Love him because
Life is not always going to make sense
But he is the only constant
And surety.
That’s why his nickname is ‘the Rock.’

When. Poem for Women

When

When you can stare fear in its dreadful face
And face it with expected triumph
When you treat your seen enemies with grace
And even extend to showing them love,
When you can leave critics in the foreground
While you press on ahead
Knowing their words are merely stepping stones
For your ground
Not worthy to trouble your head,
When you can recognize fading physical charms
As merely a veil for the greater beauty
When you can use life’s silent alarms
To equip you with strength and with duty,
When after moments of mourning we all traverse,
You can seek out cause again to smile,
When with an aged head you act
In matters of tact,
Yet in guile remain as a child,
When you have the lion-like loins to hold fast by yourself
In matters where conviction demands
Yet as well as your own, seek the good of all else
Knowing solitude, self- interest
Are for fearful hearts and idle hands.
When you live life with eyes wide open, yet a heart the same,
Not left bitter by past foes who’ve hurt you…
Then truly you’ve become a woman, my friend,
And one of great wisdom and virtue.


Ripped off from   Inspired by Rudyard Kipling’s ‘If

Ms. Mansfield. Poem
















Did your powerful hold
Of many simple men’s eyes
Make you feel like you were maybe worth a mite more?
Did your unbridled burning and raging pride,
Make you forget
A mortal man cannot escape the mortal law?
Did your desire for more lovers to adore
your countenance of perfection
And enter your temple
To worship the terrible god
who demanded its erection
Make you forget
that desire is not always kin to true affection?

Ms. Mansfield, knowing the way you’d fall prey to the cold grip of death
Would you have wanted it for one of those
 you once had to share your bed?

(*Jayne Mansfield was a stunning Hollywood actress who thrived on male attention and sexual sadism. She was also a keen Satan worshipper and high priestess in the Church of Satan. Other members were such well known performers as Sammy Davis Jr, Marilyn Monroe and in the present day ‘rock star’ Marilyn Manson among others. These people actively worshipped/worship the devil.      
   After tiring of her lover and lawyer, Sam Brody, Jayne ordered for a ritual curse to be put on him to cause his death. Eerily enough, this appeared to come to pass as Mr. Brody died in a freak car accident a while after. However, Jayne was in the car with him and she also died. Aquino, the leader of the Church of Satan who put this ‘curse’ on Brody, openly credits himself with Brody’s death and says Mansfield was just in the wrong place at the wrong time!)
Dear oh dear

Who is he? Poem


Who is he who looks
To this world and its trinkets, to try
To distract or satisfy
His weary soul, And appease his ravenous eye?
The same one who rejects truths for comfortable lies…
He is not one who is wise

Who is he who allows the compass of his soul
To be swayed by the judgments of his peers
Though no wiser than he,
No more accomplished in years?
Misguided through youth by ephemeral ties…
He is not one who is wise

Who is he who disregards the soul
Never looking beyond what is seen with eyes?
Living for his body’s hungers
Which are as ceaseless as skies
Running to and fro in search of a natural things that satisfies?

...He is not one who is wise.

You’re Loved Regardless. Poem

When you’ve felt rejected
By this world which can seem so cruel and heartless
Remember, in my heart you’re always accepted
I will love you regardless.

When you slip, and fall, and turn around
And fear the faces of those who saw your disgrace
You’ll see my arms coming to hold you as you’re on the ground
And lift you back to your rightful place.

‘Sticks and stones will break your bones…’
Though don’t tell me words are always harmless.
And when they try
To hurt you with words like knives, and lies,
Keep your head high
-You’re loved regardless.

When you’re overwhelmed by this world’s pressures
And it’s ever changing exactions of ‘perfection’
Even though you are exquisitely precious
You might forget your value.
You need someone to remind you how wholly you’re loved…
I’ll be the one to tell you.

The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Jeremiah 31:3

Reach for me. Poem

I watched you today. In my house.
You sat forlorn and broken.
Far from the sounds of the joy around
And all the words being spoken.
You arms were crossed
Your heart was covered
With them like a veil of flesh
I earnestly wanted to whisper to you
Hold you
Love away all your mess

But you were closed off from all I had for you
Tuned out like a broken resistor
I even sent a word just for you
But you were so lost in your pity, you missed them.

And as you mourned for yourself
And your life’s plans
How ‘nothing’ is going your way
I was waiting for you to speak to me
So I could comfort you in some way

But you sat in my house, and refused to reach out
For my hand as it brushed by
Not feeling my warmth, just nothing at all
And you seemed to be wondering why

Relationship is a two-way treasure
And I’ve done all I can do
I’ve loved you with a love that kills me, seeing you so far.
The rest is up to you.

#“Reach out to me”

Poem. We are the Free











…We are eternal

We are the free

We are everything they say we shouldn’t be

We dance in the heavens

And play among clouds

Mocking  seas and oceans

With single bounds

Greater than angels

Brighter than stars

We possess all

Though this world isn’t ours.


We sit in tress

And sing at the stars

Tonight is mine

Though this world isn’t ours


We floor mountains

And riverbeds  thirst

The envy of elements

Of the universe


We belong to no man

And those who try bind us

Are afraid our wings take us

Somewhere they can’t find us…
