Adopted by love, “Christ"
He tried to find love,
Staring at me,
His beautiful smile right before me,
Longing to see truth deep in my heart.
With pain in my heart,
Contemplating on the past hurt,
Singing slowly a song of bitterness
Becoming emotional, tears drop down.
He continues to search for love deep in His spirit.
With a cooing voice touches my heart
My whole being emotionally taken,
To my knees I fall and warmly touch His feet.
To His delight the light shines on me
I fall in; He raises me and finds me His bride.
Romans5:8,Matthew19:26-27

Running in faith
Down the street, running a race
A thousand miles to the finish line,
Commanded not to look back,
In curiosity I desire to see the next in line.
My heart pounds hard
As the crowd witness,
The race so tiring
But rewarding at the end.
Who runs the race?
The believers run the race.
Chanting and booing makes it tough
And persistence gets us to the finish line.
This race is not for the swift,
We run by faith to take the crown!
1Corinthians9:24,Hebrew12:1

The wicked will always oppose
I believe, they oppose,
In my faithfulness, they despise,
When i fall they laugh,
Arrogance is their crown.
I turn to buy life they curse
I bleed to find life they watch,
And they carouse in broad-day light,
Their words ache as a sting of bee.
Though they despised,
Christ gave me victory,
My success breaks their neck,
My victory is their whip
In your triumph they will oppose,
They'll band together against your victory.
Psalm94:21-22, Daniel6:15

Secrete sin revealed
By the river kebar
In meditation of God’s word,
Deep in my spirit I am taken,
As a watchman I am crowned to see
The elders turn to me
My ears there to hear what they have to say,
My spirit is captured again
By higher power I see in the dark.
Elders’ hearts lay bare
To the sun they bow down,
To molded images they shout "lord!"
Detestable things people do
Secrete things are revealed,
The Spirit of God searches them all.
Ezekiel14:1-3, Hebrew4:13,

Christ the bride groom
Thoughtful and expectant
The bride awaits the groom,
To lead to the altar forever,
The heart of the bride lies in wait.
Being a spinster for so long
The bride is fade up,
Friends begin to despise,
Emotional she becomes as hope is nearly lost.
By midnight sunshine and freedom appears;
The groom holds her right hand
Confetti is spread in the air,
As celebrations erupts.
Christ the groom we long for,
His return to ease our pain.
Romans8:18-21,Isaiah54:4-5,

CONSPIRACY ON EARTH
Heart breaking scenarios under the sun,
One taking stride chocked on the throat,
Conspiracy against the right,
Sweet blood taken for granted,
Evil men desire your life,
The day of your failure is their jubilation,
Your critical moment is their smile,
Wide are their lips for the death of the saint,
Dripping of blood down their teeth,
From the ones they love pain they inflict,
Wailing on the land,
Fear hits their breath,
Like insomnia in fear they don’t rest,
So celebration in their company outburst,
2Timothy3:13, Proverbs4:16, Matthew24:12
9
Christ the light of the world
Pain in my heart,
Darkness hits the earth,
Trouble in the church,
Disaster in families,
Light shines,
Darkness hides,
Pain is crucified,
And hope is given.
In flesh Christ came,
His own life He took up,
After He had laid it down,
He arose to confirm redemption.
Christ the light of the world
We are the world
Luke2:11-14, John19:30, John8:12

The definition of love
Love overflows,
Love never ends,
Love walks with you,
We'll flood you with it.
A stamp that shoots,
A branch that bears fruit,
A life that never ends,
A heart that overflows,
It is the world we flood,
Not with water but the word,
Not with hate but love,
Kingdom message for all.
Loving you to the core,
Flooding you with care!
1John3:18, 1John4:16, 2John1:6
11
Prayer
By 00:05am, am up
Yawning and wide stretching my arms
Hunger and thirsty whitewash me
My soul faints for food
What food am I to eat this hour?
The food for the spirit,
Am up to talk to YHWH
Am up to sound a gong in the darkness,
As the night breeze blows,
My vest is worn 'cause my body temperature drops,
My voice climbs the mountain
And finally flies beyond the blue.
My prayer reaches the throne like incense,
Pray and keep pouring your heart to the Lord every night!
Psalm114:12, Lamentation2:19

Flowing Rivers
Preparing of the heart
With great sacrifice
Longing for the heart to be drenched
With flooding waters
From its tributaries
The rivers overflow,
From the heart of God
Down to the throne of Christ
The hearts are dry
Drenched with power
Healed by grace
Baptized by fire,
The Spirit is the flowing rivers
Open hearts receive in faith.
Acts1:8, John4:14
13
Christ our hope
My heartbeat reached the ends of the earth
As the jaws of a serpent turned red with blood
My expectation was becoming less
My hope was nearly gone when I saw dark clouds near my house
Before long my very last second of my hope brought joy
A struck of lightning that amazed the whole world
A tree from the root was uprooted
And a crowd gathered round to witness the power
It was a tree taken for Christ to be crucified on
He appeared to demonstrate for us
He broke the jaws of a great serpent,
Right at the cross life to us was restored
Our hope could not be lost
Christ the hope of glory.
Matthew2:3-4, Isaiah61:1-2

Christ the Gate
Blackest darkness kissed me
No hope of escape
Broken and bound with chains
Chains of darkness covered with rust
Doors are shut, the gate is firmly locked
Blood is needed for a sack to be emptied
One step in the world breaks open the gate
The doors firmly locked breaks lose
A word is spoken for my relief
The gates of hell are all shut
Believers shout holy as gates break open
Faith, the key to unlock the gates shut
Christ the gate through whom life is given
I am the gate the Lord said it.
Romans 3:23, John1:5, John10:9
15
Freedom
Hard pressed, squeezed to the wall, skin bruised
Surrounded by wolves and beasts,
Through the wide gate so broad yet destructive
A mob bands together to ruin and burn you to ashes
They grab my property and make me pay for them,
They enslave me to work long hours
Blisters on my hands; blisters on my feet.
They sing joy when I bleed.
When darkness was so deep on me Christ stepped forward
All were amazed, ’whose son is this?’
He grabbed my hand to save me
They gave way and restored what they took.
In my heart is everlasting peace
In my life freedom reigns
Living in Christ makes me whole
From bondage I am freed, freedom reigns.

Saved by grace
Down on my knees
Too week to stand
So broken to smile
Too blind to see
Plastered eyes just can’t see
Deep cut on my heart so hard to mend
Like a broken cup impossible to mend
In a dungeon deep seeking escape
My hair on the skin stand on edge
As the plastered eye see salvation
So deep in me I see the light
Too afraid to respond for the love is deep
Restored my peace, my joy and hope
Dancing in the river from the heart of God
To my feet i stand and bow to worship
Grace hits as darkness fly away.
Eternity is what is promised
But love is the way.

The Holy Spirit
He is gentle,
So qiet and calm
Obedient and strong,
He was long ago over the waters
He made elijah outrun the chariots,
Through elisha miracles were performed
Joel prophesied about Him
Throug Him the King was born.
He is the power in the gospel
The promised fire
The Helper in times of need
And the reminder of the taught gospel
Ask God for Him
And Christ will pour on you
He will work through you
And transform your perception
poetry inspiration
Heaven hears
Under a fig tree I sat
Putting my head between my folded hands and chest
In silence tears drop down,
My heart cries the more and I begin to sob
Heaven hears my cry
It’s a sound of distress
The earth denies me
Its people redicule me
The Lord responds to my sobbing
My affliction and struggle cancelled
He comforts me,
And sustains me
The heavens heard my cry
And my life is made perfect by grace
19
You are Gods dwelling
My home is a ramshackle
My house is a forbiden shelter
My dwelling place is ruined
Am obssesed to poverty
My heart is empty,
My mind is blind
I cant see my life
All my life is mysery,a waste of breath
Without thought I cry;why so broke!
In my brokenness I seek you
In my alarm my heart is filled up
A new being I become
In my heart you find your dwelling
All empty seats are with sons of God
Entire heaven dwells in me
When I turned to you, you came in
poetry inspiration
Freedom reigns
When darkness was so deep on me Christ stepped forward,
All were amazed,” whose Son is this?”
He grabbed my hand to save me
They gave way and returned what they took
In my heart is everlasting peace
In my life freedom reigns
Living in Christ makes me whole
From bondage am freed
Once denied and alone
My own error I failed to correct
As a lost sheep I had no hope
He came in now freedom reigns
21
Rest
I am overwhelmed with sorrow,
As I walk through the aisle
Am covered with pain
Down the streets of the world
I endure to love them
With my heart I spread the word
I know I need rest
But every day I go through tests
Just like Christ, “unto you my life I give.”
The fact Christ said to mean rest
Now in His shadow I rest
poetry inspiration
You are not alone
Quiet and thoughtful
On a hot clear day
No thought of defeat or loss
Sudden terror strikes my mind
Blackout on a sunny day
Puzzling flashes strike my mind
My palm on my cheek, my elbow on my thigh
Trying to reason to find a solution
From heaven it thunders to awaken me
From my room am captured to the world I never knew
Come let us reason together; a voice from heaven
In response to the voice, I lie prostate
In my weakness I see heaven
Within a second am transformed
Within me I see God
23
Someone pleads for you
Pity climbs up like a granadilla tree
Seeing beneath are rotten fruits,
Maggots rejoice and worms cover them,
In this I see human life
In their pride they get to the top
With envy they grab the weak,
With pomp they curse the king
Without thought they ruin their lives
Seeing this the pitiful cry,
In distress they pour out their cry,
All strength is gone as the tongue is nearly bitten,
Oh, Lord, save the world!
Beating the chest to see them saved,
Presenting the case to see them blessed.
Job1:5, exodus32:11
poetry inspiration
All alone in a room
By myself I stand,
Echo is the voice I hear
My own voices I hear as darkness embrace my soul
In my pain I lose hope,
In my anguish I hear voices
I hold my ears and hide in a blanket
All alone I scream without help rendered
As a teen I cry because darkness is great
At thirteen I cry as stress ruins my perception,
I rushed into a relationship and got bruised therein,
My regrets are great, a hole I’ll never burry
Genesis34:2
25
Peace
Noise in the valley of death
Violence at the heart of the earth,
Confussion in the mind of man,
A voice is sent to calm the grave,
Violence goes violent to bring life,
In the midst of violence life is restored,
A voice of old transforms my life,
An instruction from heaven comes like a parable.
So deep and confusing are His words,
Kings delight in revealing the concealed truth,
The Lord rejoice to see human capacity of thought
And Loves it to see bones live again.
The kingdom of God suffers violence,
Kingdom minds take it by force to win the game,
Dry bones find one hope;to live and soar again,
To stand and praise the Lord
Ezekiel37, job22:21

How we met
It was Friday around 08:00 in the morning
I started to chat with a poetess.
A poetess who inspired me from a group, ‘Christian poetry”
Attraction attracted me to a poetess whose passion is to serve the Lord.
She sharpened my perception to see beyond imagination.
For a week everyday chatting made our link strong and real
Thinking it was a coincidence,
Beyond my view I saw a crowd walking to witness what the Lord has for us,
Getting to know you is great
Working with you means great treasure in a golden box
Luke1:41
