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.
