change, life, remember,
Having lived my own life
lessons you learn through time
ones that count for life
to forget would be a crime
Stammered every day since birth
enduring it all incredibly tough
but better things around my corner
believing it could be enough
One day God broke through
revealing His love in His blessed son
who had died for all my sins
to indwell me shows salvation's done
This God assured me of one thing
He accepted me just as I am
nothing I bring just to Jesus cling
this truth eternally brings me calm
(I have written this to pass on the main life lesson I've learned throughout my life that this has kept me calm and how to live in the forward direction.)

Friends..
Take us just as we are;
The rough and the smooth.
Accepted and loved.
With nothing to prove.
Friends..
Need us too;
Or that's what we hope.
Ask yourself this:
Are you sick, phat or dope?
Friends..
Gather together in twos, threes or fours.
Uplifting each other.
House and hearts;
Open doors.
Friends..
Share the mountainous journey,
the struggles, the views.
Friends are honest and patient.
All colours.
All hues.
Friends..
Whoever they are, whatever they're like;
Be they short, wide or lanky,
called Steph, Steve or Mike..
We should give as we take
and be present, for sure..
..as our friends are forever.
And maybe.. some more.

muse,
I rarely ponder who I am or why.
I’ve just accepted God made me this way -
a woman who -but if she tried – might fly,
yet still I’m crawling to this very day!
I fall into routines. The things I do
are things that bring me comfort – nothing more
and nothing less, for I don’t aspire to
great lofty goals; I’m simply asking for
some answers which I pray that God would give
to me, but maybe I’m unworthy of
the help I seek though I sure love to live!
How would it be to feel God’s warming love
to buoy me up? I’m grateful, after all,
yet sometimes I cannot help feeling small.

ripples of water torture accepted
the wrinkle of time descending
mannahly marantic romance
torticollis dribs and drabs of syringe
honey’d seeds remain; cakes fade away
dawn will erase; placidity will forget
but the depths release their seamonsters
reflected in the honeymoon, between palms
with firework stars overhead; eternal bliss

Yeah, it's true.
I hated you.
You hated me, too, though.
So,
As you can clearly see,
The playing field's even between you and me.
You hurt me.
That's clear to see.
I, in turn, hurt you,
Not that it was right for me to do,
But I did.
Apology accepted?
Yours is.
Can't that be the end of it?

"God's Own People"
by: Eric L. Boddie
Great are those who Accept And Honor Faith
Only His Love Has The Power To Keep us safe
Damnation from sin will surely be forbidden
Salvation For The Soul Can Only Come Through Repenting
Once Christ Is Freely Accepted
Wisdom Of Choice Will Only Be Reflected
Nothing Else Should Ever Be Expected
Praise His Name And He Will Protect you
Eternal Life Is All we should ever pursue
Obedience, not perfection, is all that one needs
Prayer And Love Are The Only Required Deeds
Life Absolutely Has No Meaning Without God
Even the worst of us can be redeemed if we only Ask, it's not odd

emotions, lost love, mother, mother daughter,
When I was a child I saw you,
Way up in the sky.
Why did my mother go away?
My. Daddy wouldn't lie.
In my teens you came to me,
Said you were my mother.
But that cant be possible,
You went to God,
He had sent me another
It was about that time,
I learned the truth,
It all came back to me.
You never wanted me from the start,
My mother's love wasn't meant to be.
After feeling unloved my whole life,
I have accepted in my mind.
You created me to be unlovable.
Its it's love I'll never find.

feelings, i love you, sexy, sin,
I breathe you in
I taste your skin
I’m starved for you
My sweet sin
Your fingers comb
Behind my ears
When we’re alone
You calm my fears
You place your hands
Across the line
Our spirits dance
We intertwine
The moon and stars
See it all
A love like ours
Is doomed to crawl
Beneath the bars
Of what’s accepted
Less than par
Left rejected
But when I see
Your underneath
It occurs to me
Why I breathe
Why I’m here
Why I live
Why feel fear
Why forgive
At the close
Of every day
I’m glad to know
Why to pray

Darkness has enveloped the earth
Men stagger like drunkards and lean on each other
For they have rejected the Light and accepted the Philosophy of the World
But the Righteous are sheltered under His Wings
He guides them by their heart and they have nothing to fear
For their Salvation is at hand.
He is ever watching over me
Every thought he knows before I can do the deed
He corrects, holds me, calls me out
Before its too late or before I can fall.
Oh I love this God of mine
Call out to Him when there is still time.

appreciation, love, poetry,
Paint me with your purple passion
Give me a red reasons to ration
My soul food hot and old fashioned
Melting like butter won’t be lasting
In my heart love isn’t lacking
Let lips spark body thrashing
True love is art no one acting
Sending to stars like ship casting
Despite dark emotions blasting
Somber days replaced so happy
Peach pray to be lavender laughing
Seen and esteemed Nubian nappy
Turquoise times accepted gladly
Mahogany mind fermented madly
Brain farts produce art so sappy
Your love I trust not fasting

appreciation,
I shelter aside raspberry roses
when the thunderous skies speak to me
They come to me and they hold me close
hiding their thorns along the way
These roses are few yet loving
they form a happy family
I watch them play and dance
and so many times do the giggles
But the main dragon rose is my favorite
she touches my soul and comforts me
But I am not a raspberry rose
so I will never be truly accepted
However they treat me as if
I am one of their own
This is true love

6th grade, 7th grade, blessing, celebration, christian, forgiveness, jesus,
I'm a Christian Lioness
of the Lion of Judah,
I had a tumultuous youth
and came to redemption.
To be forgiven as to forgive.
In His blessed mercy
I have pardon.
In Him there is pure love's
Holiness,
In Him there is forevermore.
I sing to Him in exultation,
or softly as an April whispered
breeze.
As I lift prayers to my Yeshua,
Rabboni, I cherish You!
You love humanity,
despite our grieving You,
and accepted willingly my
prodigal return with my
heart in joy for You.
I'm a Christian Lioness
of the Lion of Judah. ~

I know I have made
a lot of mistakes along
the way, but you must
remember, it is all a part of
being human in a fallen
the world, but I still must take my part
in what I did
If I could take all my mistakes
Back I would
many of them were done out
trying to be accepted
in this world, it can be lonely
Please let go of the blame
Even if you do not pardon me
remember I will always love you

life
People don’t like to hear the word no
They’ll push you as far as they want
You to go. Saying no is not a crime,
People pleasing is way out of line.
It is natural to want love, and be
Accepted by all, and in a balance way.
If there comes a time when the answer
Is yes, it would be comfortable to utter
As your doing your best.

Love even enemies with humanity
Endeavour ever for creativity
Live united with smile until death
Add eminence to parents for birth
Let truth alone remain in the universe
Aspire for flawless life with perseverance
Ensure peace persists everywhere
Make poverty and disparity among people rare
Acquire doubtless knowledge
Impede united against evils you judge
Preserve the accepted holy epics
Also admire philanthropy and ethics
Hate hatred and corruption in every walk of life
Adopt Ahimsa as the right path for eternal life.

Love is something I have always
sort of accepted...just went with...
needing no manual, nor preacher
to entice me – I miss those days:
when a heart was free from hyper,
sonic bands, puncturing the eyes of
internal waves – those innate crests
I once surfed with mental impunity....

Trying to say
I am sorry
takes every fibre in my being to new levels.
I cannot fathom out
the uncontrollable hurt
and sense of loss
that
burns within me...
Sorry -
a shallow grave of vocabulary,
a sham of emotion
but how can I prove
that all I say is honest
and true,
that all I feel is what I do...
Love, caring, doldrums of hopelessness?
What acidic retort will I get in return?
Probably a shoulder of ice,
a frozen relic of the past -
ignorance and foolish pride...
Whatever you do,
I don't mind
because
at least I would have been a man...
and said I am sorry!

family, people, mother,
I knew a
Guillermo or William,
who had a liquor-flavored
tongue that conquered my
mother and peeled her
skin. His words were
alcoholics on a three
day binge, my mother
was the house that they
laughed in. His voice
turned my mother into a
beggar, she pleaded not
to be a victim of his love.
The portraits that hung in
his home were images of
his hand imprinted on
my mother’s suspecting
face. He played pity
so well. So well, that my
mother accepted his
violent imperfections
and learned to live in an
imaginary home. Where
are you now father?

If all I did was made you feel so real
Among aortas of much needed love
With silky shoulders of stern Pacific layers
Disturbed by memories of wings...
If I defected life and accepted wrinkles
Of heated rhythm in tempera of love
Although the shyness of a maiden wouldn't vanish
I long to get to know you in your destined life...
If all I did was made you stop and watch me
Smiling from a frame of wooden Jacaranda wonders
Then I can die forever in immortality of love -
The Anonymous -
in the "Wax Museum of
the Hoping Souls"...

Her smile gave the attraction
i went without any calculation
and gave her an explanation
that her sight gave me the admiration
i told her she was my destination
my every imagination
i needed no demostration
to prove my affection
after along conversation
she gave me her expectation
and asked my intention
because she expected no separation
she gave me no limitation
because she had accepted my application
in her heart i was in the first position
and her every sensation

life, time, uplifting, life, me,
A vague vision suppressed by my pass life
my future seems blurry, yet rich and enhanced by my present life.
Life as a student as taught me so much
To hate and to love, and even not to trust
I've learned to take life just as it comes
with the up hills and the down hill and the crazy things it throws
I long to be accepted but instead I get
the oppose of what i lust
I trust no one and I've never believed in love
i create my destiny and I can mold yours to
And that's because I'm you
I am others just like me
And I am who I want to be
A blur yet making an impact on the life of others
A silent partner climbing the hills called life
taking on that everyday strive.

Clemency for me!
Really worthy of it? I don’t think so,
After all I have done,
You put them all behind you,
You once again granted me audience,
I felt welcome and accepted,
With warming smile, transforming my mind,
I can vividly imagine how angels look,
I know for sure you are braver than Darling Grace,
Though you have a fragile physique,
Titanic is your heart,
Very big, strong, impressive,
Remain fit as my help meet,
It’s you and can never be anyone else,
Anyone else? “Mba”,
It’s you my true love.

the beautiful land across the Atlantic

oh America, the greatest
that distant land;
we’ve all accepted as home…
give us this day our liberty,
and forever remain blind to our colours, stretch forth your hands in love and embrace the beauty within.

and the dreams of our fathers we must keep alive.

you made me fall for you.
