WITHOUT A HEART

 Love never had a fairy tale ending for me
So I gave up that dream
Love was never good to me
So I was never caught sleeping
Even when my heart was weak
I poisoned it with facts of the past

DISTANCE

"Somewhere we know that without silence words lose their meaning, that without listening speaking no longer heals, that without distance closeness cannot cure."--Henri Nouwen

HERE I AM LORD

Here I am again today Lord

In need of your strength
I can't see without your eyes
I can't hear without your presence
I can't leave without your leading
I can't live without your grace

ANGEL EYES

Every time I look into those lovely angel eyes
I see is what inspires sunrise 

I see a love that can't be bought
Passion that can't be fought
I can hear every word, see every thought
Unashamed and un-hidden, you open me like a cut

Loving me still, burn me with your jealousy and your wrath
Fingers touch, ignite my fire; hot
Turn my lights on, wake the butterflies in my gut
Beauty entrapped in a body threatening to burst forth
I'm spell stroke 

Frozen on the spot like blood clot

One look from you travels me into unending fantasies
Am awake but dreaming, this can't be reality
Attention with no hurry
Unfold me like the mysteries in the book of poetry
Every word, syllable, pause, clause and silence amplified clearly
In want but satisfied, licking lips 

Gently, tenderly, greedily
Reflexes forgiven; understanding spontaneity
Is this love, is this love, is this love

Killing me softly
Breathing in quick successions, 

Shallow and rapidly
Un-sounded octave coursed by a feeling deeply

Am awake but dreaming
Dreaming inside a dream
Am silent but screaming
I can't hold my steam
Am in love
For the very last time
Am in love
Am lost in your angel eyes

FADE TO BLACK

When it hurts so bad it begins to pump bitterness
When its lost so much it begins to hate happiness
Fade to black
A dark heart ain't deep

PETALS THROUGH THE ROCKS

Enobong Umohette UBF title holder

Embattled on every side but sustained by grace
While I break this earth, Lord I won't loose my praise
My faith is for all time and not a phase
On my knees I win at your alter, and that's my place

AFRICA MY PAIN AND JOY

Africa, oh Africa,
Its not just a land of tall trees
and black faces
Or green landscape and multi-races
Its a land rich in culture,
personality, and Pride
A land of shadows and history
Wisdom is the meat of elders
And proverbs, the wine to wash it down

LOVE NOTES

 

I love you to the ceasing of my heart beat

Your kind of love pleasures life

I can't quit

My ocean of sweetness, into you I fall...

THE EARTH, THE SEED AND THE FARMER

Sun burn;
When I break the earth
I break I
For I am the earth
And the earth is I

WEDDING VOWS

He Says:
Flesh of my flesh; Bone of my bone.
With you in my life, I can never be alone.
Beauty so fresh and never old; today I make bold to have and to hold!

I MISS YOU

Its been 3 years since you left
And baby I miss you
I remember with childish fondness those days you would count the hours to have me lie beside you
Days seemed endless and time lost its power

IF...

If I smile today
If I laugh today
If my countenance be bright today
If I am of high spirit today
Then it is you on my mind

Putting all worries behind

If you clap today
If you dance today
If you are in good cheer today
If you feel dear today
Justify me
Tell me it is me on your mind

If you are in pain today
If worries knock at your door
If you feel alone
And you need a friend to hear
Let it be me my dear
Let it be me...
