poetry and true life stories about my personal journey
your are in me and I in you.
when I am lost, one look at you.
I find myself in you,
you are my map home, you are home.
Complete I am, when i’m with you
when I thirst, I drink from the fountains of your love.
I’m in love with loving you.
Like a drunken man who let go of the bottle.
Like a baby wails for his mom.
as much as or even more than I love my life.
I LOVE YOU

When I think of words,
I think of You.
When I thing of poetry,
I hear your voice thumbing
Behind my heard.
I look at the words
That you first spoke
That changed everything.
God said “Let there be…”
Beautiful words spoken
Poetry at its best.
Your heart’s desire spoken
To life.
You birthed words into life.
And that what you said.
Went out into the world and it was.
You gave words power.
You became one with Words.
“In the beginning was the
Word and the Word was with God
And the Word was God”.
And Beautiful poetry you became.
Beautiful words spoken.
When you speak.
Words that cut the deepest
Part of my heart and soul.
Cause me to shake in my Bones.
When God speaks.
Beautiful poetry.
Beautiful words.
Spoken word
I was blind
I say again I was blind
But now I see.
I lived in a world were…
We would see the front cover
But never the whole story
Only getting half of the truth
When I met you everything changed
I listened to your story
As you spoke, I felt your pain
And my heart for a moment
Broke with yours.
How could they? How can someone
Do that? Why would they? A
Million questions raised in my mind.
My heart boiled with hatred
Against them, my heart burning
For justice. I try to make sense of it
But it has no sense, it just insanity.
All I could give this perfect stranger
Was words of comfort, love
And hope
Love that was not mine
Hope from all high
I gave her the Love of Christ
I gave her greater hope
In a better tomorrow
I gave what I had,
I gave her Christ.
I was blind
But now I see.

[When I think of what happened to this person I think of the countless women who are abused or raped, its time for Christians, the world and individuals to stand up, or what’s right.]
Matthew 11: 28-30
28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Whomever has been through the most in life, people around you may never understand the pain you’re going through, but God is there, He is there to take the weight of your shoulder and help you overcome. The world we live in is not a perfect world we live in because of sin. There is a saying that says “hurting people, hurt people”.
New friendship, has a certain aroma to it.
Don’t you think?
It is as if, its the break of spring.
caring the sweet taste of honey,
and bring great joy to an tired old heart.
It signals the beginning of a new dawn.
One with no end in sight.
This new friendship is like bust of light
that shines in my dark days.
I find peace in knowing that you dear friends are not
far behind.
Always there, never gone.
To sprinkle a little joy and happiness
on my delicious muffin called my life.

hello everyone, I have good news to share with you all. I wrote and published my first E-book. writing a book has always been something I wanted to do like when i’m older, I had no idea what to write about at such a young age, and it hit me Kindness your good in poetry, why dont you write a poetry book. So i began to write, taking it one day at a time. This poetry book is a book that carries a real message that will encourage and uplift anyone who reads it, and my hope for when I wrote this book was that ill be happy if one person would read it and there lives changed in some way by it. It’s a book inspired by God, and also deals on social issues that we face, one of them being depression.
I made a sound track with my brother just to give you a glimpse of the content of what to expect. Its my own voice and to be honest I have insecurities speaking in public or being heard on mic, I just feel that my voice is weird, but i’m learning to love it. please do enjoy.
if your in SA and you would like your own soft copy for a price of R50 email me, find my email at contact page of blog and those who want the book can check it online on amazon.
I tried all there is
Did all that was needed
My faith stretch to its limits
Still my truth in you goes beyond borders
And all my hope is in You
when nothing seems to be have changed.
Each morning, I awake with joy.
Every night I slumber in peace.
You are my Eve, the rib of my side,
The apple of my eye.
My eyes catch your beauty,
In all your perfection.
Your one in a million.
The galaxy look at you for inspiration.
They gaze in awe of you, through the iris of space.
My compass guided by your true north.
In every storm I follow you,TN I go.
we are star-crossed, kismet to be.
Your my little helper in all walks of life, I love you to infinity and beyond(∞)
Grace in forgiving
Forgiveness is one of the hardest thing to do for most people. Especially when someone has deeply hurt you. God releases grace for us to do that. A normal person will not be able to forgive someone for a horrible crime or offence they may have experienced in the hands of their propitiators. In the book of Luke we see the disciples shock, form Jesus statements. The scripture passage deals with forgiveness it says
Luke 17: 3-4
So watch yourselves. “If your brother or sister, sins against you, rebuke them, and if they repent, forgive them. Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent’, you must forgive them.
I want you to think of a scenario, what is the thing for you that would make it difficult to forgive a family member for. It could be your brother lying at you. Or the comments they make about your friends or girlfriend. Whatever it is as small or as big as it is, you are commended to forgive them and show them love. Doing that time and time and again you would get tired. This is why God grace on us will empower us to five the unimaginable wrong done to use.
Jesus and God’s thought life is way too out of our wheel house to understand. For example can you imagine what God is thinking right now at this instance? That would be a no for me. Isaiah 55 speaks on this. Remember Isaiah is a man who spent most of his time in the presence of God and in service of him for many years, and we see this verse in the scriptures.
Isaiah 55:8-9
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor or your ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My thoughts than your thoughts.”
In Psalms 139, it also emphasis this. It says…
17-18. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand, when I wake I am still with You.
The word describes the sum of the thoughts of God be as many as the grain in sand. For us to comprehend that would need a miracle. God way of doing things are far apart from our way of doing things. You will experience this soon in your life if you have not yet. For some of us who have you would ask God to do something for you and you think you will get that thing through A, B, C but God brings it through E, F, and G.
There is grace to forgive, it must have been hard for the Father to forgive all the sins of man that He would turn away from the sight of Jesus at the cross when he bared the weight of sin and darkness. God’s word teaches us to forgive. When we do forgive you will feel better and a weight of your back. Forgiveness most times is not for the person asking for it, but the person giving it. You forgive for your own health. People were not designed to carry that much garbage in themselves at some point the garbage will spill over and start poisoning you, and making you sick or anxious or stressed and so many other physical illnesses that come about from un-forgiveness.
When it is hard to forgive, ask God for strength to forgive. God is glad and full of joy when we come before His presence to ask for Help. HE is waiting on me and you to ask for his help. Forgiveness has a lot to do with the heart. When you forgive someone the anger and the pain they may have caused does not go away immediately, it would require you forgiving over and over again. As you forgive God will be knitting and healing your heart again.
