My Garden

My Garden

Each apple holds its weight in gold

One bite is but enough

These planets hang in My Garden

Look but do not touch.

The Strong Ones

The Strong Ones

We stand by and guard the Heavens

As the serpent tries to come between us

But we are strong and our roots are blessed

Our heads are high as he writhes beneath us.

The Path

The Path

At the end of the road I shall be there

But be careful with every step

For not every path will lead you home

So follow your heart and not your head 

The Lonely Moon

The Lonely Moon

Although I'm complete I cannot control my fate

As I move across the sky

My reflection is the only place I am still

Until Her light comes passing by

The Leaves

The Leaves

Beneath the leaves I slowly slumber

The branches form my deepest dreams

Each thought provokes new life in the ether

As they reach the sky I begin to breathe 

The Rocks

The Rocks

Flowing through rock is where you'll find me

My image reflects the sky above

Each colour picked for pure perfection

All of this in the name of Love 

The Bridge

The Bridge

Over by the bridge is where I'll be waiting

There you'll find my heart and smile

Peace beyond imagination

Let's enjoy this moment for a while

A Woman's Love

A Woman's Love 

By S



Once women find love
They are like mountains
They are strong and stable
No matter where you are
They can be seen in the distance
Still as beautiful as they always were
And time does not erode them
They grow an attachment to their roots
And even the plates beneath their feet
Are not enough to shake their love
And although they don’t have feet to run to you

They would move Earth to be there for you

Ave Unum Deus

Ave Unum Deus XCIX

Tear away the blinds

Remove all the dust

Banish my desire

Grapple down my lust

Throw away the drugs

Let my eyes see clearly

The love that surrounds me oh so dearly

No fear in me

Except for the most High

I dare to breath

As I swim onto the coast side

My hands grab the rocks I’m free

As I move away from the punishing sea

No more triangles

They can’t triangulate me

Hide my digitals

And pray to God to save me

So keep your eye shut

Take your vision off me

I keep my mind shut

To all that you've caused me

I can breathe now

Oh I can breathe

My Lord has cured me

Of all of this disease

But I should never boast

About how I came to ease

So instead I just pray

On my knees

Like Lord forgive me! 

For all that I've done
And may there be blessings
In all I've achieved

May my efforts be never in vain

And may my tongue speak only Your name

So if I've only got 99 words left

Let them be all about You

And if you grant me another 92

I’ll give my Salaam to the Prophet too

Peace be upon you.

And your crew

For all they have taught me

We’re brothers in faith

So when we meet please adore me

But until then I’ll adore your memory

And when my time comes I hope you remember me

An intercede if I fall short

But I’ll try my best in this ball court

And shoot to make points in the stars

For those who believe, Heaven is ours.

But let’s stop right there for now

I wish I could continue

But I’ll wait until I'm given another 92.

Patience.

Open Hearts/Closed Doors/Redemption

Open Hearts/Closed Doors/Redemption


Close my eyes and see the moon rise
In the deep blue sky
Flaming red as it rears its head in the east 
For too long I've spent searching
Diving in the flames
Dancing with the devil to the beat

Take off my shoes
And let my feet rest
Let the smoke clear out the room
Vivid nights
On her street bed
As I'm calling out for you

I fucked up
I fucked up
I fucked up

The door closed and the heat rose
As I crawled into her skin
Stared her in the eyes and my heart froze
Knowing I'm in eternal sin
For that night, that night
I chose to let my spirit go
Fell into her trap
Her hands on my back
Telling me not to go slow

I close my eyes and see the sun rise
In the dark black sky
Flaming blue as it swept through the west
For too long I've let my heart stay numb
Diving in the ice
I can’t put my mind to rest

I hear Your call
Out in the ether
It leaves vibrations on my tongue
I try to call back
But I have no voice
To try seeking out the One

I fucked up
I fucked up
I fucked up

Take my hand
Lead me into light
Take me overboard
Down into the sea
Wash my soul of dirt
Make my spirit clean
Let me get over her
So I can just be me

I feel free
I feel free
I feel free
I don’t need a tourniquet 
So don’t try to rescue me
Each thought flows into my ears
And my mind begins to bleed
I feel free
I feel free
I feel free



Tear apart the fabric
Of my insincere existence
Remind me of who raised me
From the seed down to forgiveness
Take away this loneliness
Replace it with an image
Bring that image to life 
Before my eyes and let me witness
A life of total devotion
Gently waving like the ocean
Reach as far as I can
Embrace the sand
And return in flowing motion
Let my purpose always be known
Let me complete half my faith
Find a place that I can call home
Not be ashamed to hide my face
Take the word of God with me
Wherever I choose to explore
Render faithful
Always truthful
And stay away from those closed doors
Stay in shape
Don’t break the frame
Frame of mind
Always sane
Vision clear
Hope restored
Stay away from those closed doors
Take my word life is short
Don’t break the chain
Reach for more
Hold on dearly
To the Lord
Stay away from those closed doors



No more secrets
No more hiding
Be committed
Stay enlightened
Beg forgiveness
No more fighting
Crack the chest
Melt the ice and
Pump the spirit 
Back in my veins
This temple
I shall regain
No more pain
Just stay focussed
Remain the same
And find I'm so blessed
A loving family
A confused image
Lost the road map
But now I'm in it
Got my place 
Marked in time
No more black stars
It’s time to shine
The destination space bound
So with this time I have I will show how
With the guidance and the know-how 
A life of sin can be turned around

The Book my guide
It's message my life
The Creator my Dear
Giving me no burden I cannot bear
His words, so often taken in vain
Have fallen on my heart and washed it like rain
Bringing me back to life again

The Well

The Well

Wall to wall
Each brick is placed
Around the well
To protect the water
If it overflows
From the place it dwells
Life will grow for our sons and daughters

We observe in awe
As the frame is shaking
The water gushing
The bucket breaking
The crowds rejoice
They take their fill
But was it to deny their happiness
That the well was built?

Perhaps the owner wanted to reserve the contents
Let each person take their sip and leave
Maybe he felt the water was pure
And kept it hidden from disease

But I think his motive was to stop the flood
Save the people, the animals and trees
From the overflowing and precious love
That keeps us living above the sea

See his love was a blessing
For all those around him
But if not kept hidden would destroy
At first the crowd rejoiced
Then the flood took away their boys

And swept up the women
Overwhelmed their frames
Each drop remained
Inside their veins
It engulfed them so much
That the town was lost
And the owner learned from this deep loss

So he built a dam
Kept compassion behind it
And once in a while he would
Let a little out
But love remained trapped in the well
Never to be found

Deep underground

Soulless

Soulless

Raindrops fall from the feathers
Each leaf is drenched in the coldest mist
As I take off towards heaven
Before the sun rises I cease to exist

Defeat I admit
The gospel I surrender to
The keys they don’t fit
To the doors that I enter to

But I seek with the words
That the Lord has given to me
I reach for the bird
And soar to lands before me

The body, my temple
Is empty and desolate
Soulless, a hollow shell
The crow it carries my empty vessel

To a land where I am free
Rebirth is what I yearn for
A land where I am me

No Earth, I deserve no more.

Heartless

Heartless

Twisted 
Thoughts
Of hair being caught
In the depths of my mind
My eyes go dark
And the light in the heart
Fades as I put the pain on canvas
Paint the future, Atlantis 

Give up my soul for the words of above
No longer hold
Any weight on my mind 
And I don’t want to know
What awaits at the end of the line
I just want to serve my time

And be out of this prison
This bone ridden prison
This flesh ridden prison
This home for the living 
I’d rather stay decayed
And alone with the rhythm 
Then to spend another moment
Seeing ghosts in my vision
And every time I close my eyes
I see him cry with ambition

Book the flight and go high in the horizon
Land at her feet and on that haunted island

Open his chest and give her the prize
And watch her devour the love inside
Her hands grip the hourglass and steal his time
And she turns, and turns
He slowly dies
Until the corpse is left 
Just a heartless shell
Begging and screaming for hell

Paint The Melody

Paint The Melody

Dip the bristles into the ink

And let’s gently touch the moon outside 

Clouds will gather to watch true love

As the brush makes strokes across the sky

Each vision it takes us higher

Beyond the walls of limitation

The canvas my desire

The colours form imagination

With each touch I'm blessed

As the landscape leaves my mind

The image of my subtle thoughts

Inspired by the Most Sublime

It's artistry at its finest

These tools I use to portray my thoughts

These words my paint, my tongue the pallet

Poetry is its final form

I sign each piece with a smile

And hope the reader looks back in peace

My delicate words will stand alone

It’s to you, I leave the melody

Man's Best Friend

Man's Best Friend

The collar bell tinkles
As he steps in the home
His eyes start to sparkle
He’s never alone
A new found friend
In this life and therein 
One to call loved
In this home I'm with him
The beginning 

Summer days are long
As the winding path takes us
To rivers beyond
He follows with deep trust
He needs no bone 
For reward or a treat
Just a happy home
And his own place to eat
During winter we shiver
Yet his fur keeps me 
From being weak

And we smile in the spring
For we've broken through the cold
And stepped out onto the other side
His face looking old

It seems like time moves so fast on this Earth
But in reality the Earth is slowly spinning in place
It is us who run so fast on this Earth
And our days draw so near
For we've enjoyed the years

Now his fur, quite dusty
Yet his eyes still shine
My skins become rusty
But my smile won’t decline
Dog is truly a man’s best friend
Together till the end

Of our journey through time. 

Morning Journey

Morning Journey

朝の旅

Gently whisper into my ear

The things you know I long to hear

Those vivid echoes

Through history

That shrouds our love in mystery

I kiss your cheek 

Each morning 

As the wind carries sweet scents

Towards us

I’ll never leave 

You darling

These words my armour

I do adore you

So let’s head out to the harbour

And sail far into tomorrow

Leave our worries on the kitchen table

Lay your head to rest upon this maple

Let me hold the wheel and stare

As the water drips down from your hair

Gently whisper in your ear

All those words you long to hear

Follow Me

Follow Me

The faithful leaves
That wave their hands
To the rhythm of the breeze
Pay homage to the sounds
Of the gentle sapphire seas

The night of New Years Eve
Two hearts were torn in pieces
But the leaves they watched so silently
As the two walked oh so separately

He shakes his head in disbelief
The wind it changes the bitter seas
The rage inside his heart conceives
A way to remove her completely

And the faithful leaves
That cry so hard
To the rhythm of his heart
Pay homage to the sounds
Of a love that’s torn apart

Follow me
Follow me
Listen close
To the sound of the blue sea
Follow me
Follow me
Listen close
To the rhythm of the breeze
Follow me
Follow me

Follow me

I Seek

I Seek

I lay in the grass
And watch the Sun shine its light upon me
I stay for a while
For my hearts cold I'm waiting for the beat

I seek
I will seek just for You
I seek
I will seek just for You

Open my hands
And pray to the Lord, with true humbleness
Here in the path of God I'm walking
To seek real truthfulness

I seek
I will seek just for You
I seek
I will seek just for You

Home coming

Home coming

I sweep two years of dust

From the table I once used

My heart's begun to rust

Inside this chest that I've abused

I threw away the key

Before I left the box untouched

I became a new me

But I didn't gain much

The little things in life

Like the warm embrace of friends

We’re trivial in spite

Of all that’s now become the end

I'm moving on

I'm moving on

I'm moving on

I'm moving on

It won’t be long

It won’t be long

I'm moving on

I'm moving on

Two Sides

Tearing down mirrors 

To hide from this face 

A dead man is walking 

Inside of this place 

The heart is so cold 

It no longer beats 

I'm a zombie tonight

Getting lost in the streets 

A memory fades 

A lifetime changes 

The heart remains 

Behind bars and chains 

A solitary fate 

Of confinement within 

A mind torn in two 

And a heart filled with sin 

The lies that I tell 

Build walls around me

Each brick clouds my vision 

I no longer see 

Who I really am

Just an empty body 

So I tear down the mirror 

For I am not me 

But I can think 

Therefore I am 

The blood it fills my veins 

And hands 

I raise in demand 

For retribution 

To return to the land 

Where my real life began 

And the mirror is clear 

When I look for desires 

I see only You there 

For You began me 

And You are my end 

My only true Friend 

In this life of deceit 

Yggdrasil

Moon roses 

Night tulips 

That fragrance is 

Sweetness to my lips 

Purple grass

And crystal oceans 

Rivers filled 

With deep emotion 

Diamond skies 

And ruby summers 

Golden leaves fear

The silver thunder 

Yellow winters 

And sapphire springs 

Rainbows dance 

On Saturn's rings 

Tears of Pluto

Jupiters trees 

Wave silently 

In the cosmic breeze 

Venus sings 

Sweet lullabies 

While Neptune sleeps 

Throughout the night 

Mars glows bright 

It's filled with love 

Earth it watches

From above 

The mighty sun

Sits back in shade 

The moon gently smiles 

As it visits the graves 

Of the human beings 

Who rest in peace 

A floating existence 

On the solar seas 

Three Stars

Three Stars

What is the worth of souls

When measured it's weight in gold?

What is the worth of a life 

When taken in the night 

3 bright stars 

Slowly begin to dim upon this Earth

But by the grace of God they'll shine

In their glorious rebirth 

I sit and weep in agony 

While the world looks on in vain 

People caught up in pleasure and pain 

For personal gain 

But we cannot attain 

The being in the Human 

Unless we live for one another 

My soul it weeps 

It weeps 

For misunderstanding each other

And although I never met you all

Your light has reached my heart 

A piece of me I've lost a part

While you suffered by the spark 

Your legacy will live on

And by God my eyes are woken

I cannot bare all of your pain 

So these words I have spoken 

To God we all belong 

To God we must return 

Let not your fate be in deep vain 

And may we all stand up and learn 

I reach into my breast 

And draw the sword of unity 

Together we must stand 

All one under the tree 

All one under the tree 

All one under the tree 

Together we must stand 

All one under the tree 

My Boy

My Boy

The air is full of hatred 
My lungs feel saturated
With visions of war 
And apocalypse 
The hour is near son 
I'm feeling it 

So while you lay down your head 
In your mamas lap
Just remember 
That your papa gotta stay strapped 

I keep an arsenal of words for
The enemy 
Cos while they still breath son 
We can never be free 

But Gods word is the utmost ultimate
Never forget what I teach you 
In this cold world 
Because the hour is near son 
I'm feeling it 
And your papas gotta fight
For the White pearls 

See they're out to get us 
And I ain't down with that
They choke to provoke 
And leave our kids trapped

So take a long hard stare into your mamas eyes
For the future rests between faith and demise 

There's so much I wanna share with you my boy 
Like a world full of peace kids playing with toys 
Sat around the kitchen eating family meals
Watching movies through the winter while we cuddle and chill 

See there were days before this
Before the hatred
Before the air in your mamas lungs became saturated

Before the drones attacked us and destroyed our homes
Before the hour came near
And mama turned to bones 

Before papa got a scar and lost an eye 
But remember my son
That your Lord ain't blind 

For the vision of truth that He has given to us
Must remain in our hearts 
In this treasure we trust 

Cos when the hour is here
All I want from my boy
Is a joyful tear
While we sit and rejoice

As our saviour comes 
And breaks the cross with his hand
And leads us all back
To the promised land 

So my boy don't lose faith 
My boy don't lose hope 
My boy stay grateful
And reap only what you sow

For the machine cannot provide
You with this love
That your mama and papa
And the Lord bestowed from above 

So with this love in your heart
Grow up and be a man
Mama and I are waiting for you
In the promised land

These Words

These Words

As I fill up the needle with ink
And pump these words right into my veins
I'm reminded that these words will bring me no gain
But are words more potent when covered in fame?

These words make my name
6 followed by 5
These words bring me shame
Sex followed by lies
These words aren't the same
They're hollow inside
These words are insane
They follow my mind

Flip it
Change the rhythmic flow
These words bring to light
What my heart doesn't show
These words make me feel I'm big and I'm known
Like I'm finally grown
But these words never know

What they're doing inside
The letters and messages
Old newspapers
Emails and credit lists
Diaries stuffed behind cushions with feathers in
Hidden from people
Yet cuddled and read with them

These words unite nations
Like letters from presidents
Or breed holy war
From the venomous terrorists
These words can distort everything from within
Or return our souls to a permanent residence

Flip it
Change the rhythmic flow
These words are a part of my heart and my soul
They soar through the stratosphere all over the globe
And settle near graves like
Dark feathered crows

These words are our own
These words are mine
These words belong to you and I
With these words we reach the sky
And with these words we all must die

These words can change
They all hold fate
They all take blame
They all could hate
They all could save
They all create
They all could push our fears away

These words can bring us brighter days
Or these words can shackle hearts like slaves

These words are what we use today
To try and find a better way

They say the pen can slay the sword
These words can pierce our skin and more
The ink it runs right through my veins

But are words more potent when said again?
