I encountered  a thief
stole my heart,
ripped it out,
designed it specially to love him,
paint my love with strange colours,
showed me the side of love I never knew
now I think I have fallen
madly,
tumbling deeply
into your love.
Please hold me soflty
for pain endurance is not my greatest virtue

Smiles all around

My heart
My love
My life
My happiness
Then I worried about everything
Now I choose to stay happy
Smiles rekindled
Joy's returned home
My heart's reached that happy state
There's so much I can say
My heart's made itself your home
Thoughts of you make my little heart float
Only the heavens can tell the joy I feel deep within ..

Love is far

If a guy knows what a lady truely thinks of Him... maybe she has tried so hard and now thoughts are bottled up... how sad it would be if bottled up thoughts are revealed ...
Had a chat with this lady and we spoke about certain issues and here's what she said to me when we spoke about her love life.........yeah she doesn't mind me sharing I asked .. so permission granted .. If you're gonna read this, read it like it's you saying it.. then it would make more sense and more meaning to you. and urs truely tried to make it rhyme abit to add a wee bit of the poetic feel...

I sit I Look and see .. Gosh!.. He doesn't care
No hope left to spare
Love ... it don't live here
My heart's ache is hard to bare
I look at Him with a deep stare
hoping to unveil his hidden self 
Yes.. sure he knows I care
But to speak for Him, .. I can't tell
I try so hard to draw him near ..
But still he's farther  than near
that pain, I can't but feel 
I look at him and think .. Why?, How?.. did I get myself into this
make myself love one who's very different from me
One who mostimes I can't stand
but for some strange reason.. I'm drawn to 
It's quiet hard as I have experienced love from another first hand ..#sigh
I don't know I can't stand it anymore .
He's shoved me aside
now I feel so helpless 
I'm made to be loved, I'm made to be treasured, I'm made to be adored, I'm meant to be cared for
but this, he wouldn't give to me

He trys so hard to make me be like him
He trys so hard to make me do things he does
yet I refuse
cos that's  not me
simply  isn't me
I know the path which I walk today is the right one
but he's decided to walk he's own path
It's like #thinking .. two people with binded hearts, similar minds  but different objectives
how can dat work? no it can't I think I need to give myself a wake up call, prioritise
do I really want him or is there something in him I have to change
the picture is so unclear to me
I can't see it's blurry
I've tried so hard to get the image of him I've got in my head.. But I just can't
seems like the badness has overcome the good .. How is that possible?
How is that really possible.. can badness overcome good ..
I'm here thinking why are we like this?..
I try so hard to do things not to hurt him .
but what you do, you think it's love. I find myself wrapped in thoughts of him .. still I find myself hating him
How is that possible? Is it really possible?

So many questions why is this though I haven't got answers..
it helps if u know wat is going on in the guys head.. bt all the same I'm as clueless as you are

#SIGH

One free feeling
yet you pay for it!
One great feeling
you have to experience it!
Only a priviledge is
all I ask from God.
Seal my happiness
make my joy complete
bring me smiles do not falter
flatter me with reality
don't make me suffer in anguish
I look out and wonder
WHY????
Questions I can barely answer!...

Was love ever made for me?....hmmmmmm

This beautiful feeling is killing me inside. My heart is heavy.

Burning! as that which I want, I clearly cannot have.

I remember the last time I felt such connection hmmmmmmm...

Like two hearts strongly pulling to cling to each other.

The attraction I cannot help.

Indeed I feel helpless.

This love is hurting...... so much pain! makes my heart ache!

I worry for I know once again I need to wake up and

See that this time we are worlds apart...

Life is unfair!

But do I really accept this fate flung at me??

Was love ever made for me?

hmmmmmmmm........care gist!

There's nothing that hurts more than being unable
to help someone you care about out of sadness.
You feel hurt knowing they are unhappy.
Helpless knowing there's nothing you can do about it
Shut out as they wouldn't let you in fully
Angry because there might be a solution but you've been shut out.


That caring heart of yours begins to wonder!
how sad does it feel knowing you are both helpless?
drawn in by your thoughts?
feeling an emptiness within?
you try so hard but nothing really happens

Divine Love

What joy it is to be called yours
my one magnificent King
unworthy of your mercies
yet with all my filth
I stand before you.

You are not man
you are God
My God.

You make my joy complete,
answer me in times of worry,
shelter me in times of abject rejection
you stand amidst my deepest fears
and make them opportunities.

You have touched my life with your peace,
made me increase in all measures
called me from darkness,
brightened my nights!

Lord I love you!
with mere words your glory is unexplainable
your beauty indescribable
the vastness of your love is unimaginable
But I know you are the everlasting one
your name I will forever extol.

Prayer

Oh Lord
Do not turn away from me
Purge me of all iniquities
Purify my heart
Make it yours
Program my life
Make it just for you
Occupy my heart with thoughts of you
Bring me to my kneels oh Lord
Cause me to reverence you mighty father.

Your knowledge surpasses human understanding

I am but a child willing to learn from the father

Yet I weep!.. Weeping for compassion

I know your grace is sufficient for me

I stand here yearning for your love

Do not turn your back on me

I am that lost child whom with a sorry heart

needs you back in  my life

Come live in me Lord

for only your love is pure.

WORDS

You may go through though times
rough patches
hard times
turbulent days
troubled seas where the tides are high
dry deserts-extreme hardness
difficulty
totally rejection
absolute confusion.
There's always a way out of this. Never give up.
Keep pushing!, endurance!.
Trust In God as he alone can help you
Hold on to your aspirations, dreams, wishes
because one day, they would surely come through for you.
Weeping endures the night but joy comes in the morning.
It's funny because joy comes when majorly all hope is lost.
I sincerely hope your joy wouldn't come when you're broken..
In a nutshell NEVER GIVE UP!!!!

***Mere words to edify you. Hold on to what you believe and all you want would come running to you***

sweet feeling

That stranger
who comes like a solemn breeze
and captivates my reasoning

That manna
which falls from heaven
and fills me even

That sonorous voice
which whispers sweet melody
and melts my worries

That race
which quickens my hearbeat
and I must win

You are as the solemn breeze
yet a fiercy furnace
as a warm  quilt
yet a piercing arrow
You are one
which even in pain must be won!

charm

In a dim lit room there you sat-

The most beautiful creature I've ever seen.

Your eyes like the sun

Your hair as dark as a Raven.

Hopelessly I stood and admired this creature who's features highlighted boldly every letter of this word CHARMING..

I look at you

and it feels like I've known this perfect stranger all my life.

Of course I was charmed , captivated by your presence else, what explains the long gaze  I gave when I first saw you?

Darkness wouldn't dare hide your beauty

Reaching out to you.

Happily I would have you

Call you mine.

Because you are a treasure
My treasure!

Piant my love

I encountered a thief.

stole my heart,

ripped it out,

designed it specially

to love him.

Showed me the side of love I never knew.

now I think I am falling madly,

tumbling deeply.

With our hearts fused,

Paint my love with strange colours

please hold me softly

I don't want to get hurt!....

Ease

They release yourself so love can flow through.
Hmmmm...Quite easy to say
Tested and approved principles do work.
The harder you try to love,
the more worried you get.
Conscious of your faults
and that of the other.
Feeling uneasy at every word.
Helplessly trying to wrestle with your thoughts.
Slowly building a wall of worry.
Earnestly, waiting for the peace you once had.
Not a good  feeling.
So why not free yourself to that beautiful thief called love? 

Without a heart

You can never run
away from love
it's right in your heart
in control of your being.
Sown deeply.
Rip your heart out!
noticed any damage?
painful death
without a heart.
Love I find scary.
The heart is fiery.
Love I find demanding.
I feel it commanding.
Love i find caring.
Soothes your heart cos you are sharing.
Love I know we all need.
Like I know we all need.
Like a farmer plants a seed
water your love and let it grow.

*****STAND*****

Oh how it amazes me
I look at the past and ponder
what went wrong?
The future's bleak
why dream?
There ain't no future

I don't yearn for
the care I once had
nor that Love which
thou didst give me

A ll I wanted was truth
wouldn't question the truth you say
As I am one who doth trust

Blame my actions  on situtions
I ain't no saint yet with my all I try to be good

I've said this much yet you still find fault in me
I'd pat my back and say: Life ain't all rosey
strange and ugly things happen
I'd not be shaken
I'd stand firm and keep being happy

Heart of worship

A poem I wrote mainly to thank God for his endless grcae and favour.

When the world comes
crashing in on me
I turn to you Lord
and I find refuge.

When the pains of living
envelopes my thinking
I cry to you Lord
and you grant me solace.

When the wind of peace
sweeps my heart
I dance to you Lord
and you seal my peace.

Yet I have smeared your name
and seeked others
I run from you Lord
yet you draw me near.

Why then should my heart not sing
for only a man like you seeks no perfection in me
But purifies my heart daily
because you know I love you.

Slowly I have staggered out of your prescence
yet your endless grace finds me
your truth radiates and gives life
with my voice I will sing out and say
with a heart of worship I come to you.

Charm

In a dim lit room there you sat-
The most beautiful creature I've ever seen.
Your eyes like the sun
Your hair as dark as a Raven.
Hopelessly I stood and admired this creature who's features highlighted boldly every letter of this word CHARMING..
I look at you
and it feels like I've known this perfect stranger all my life.

Of course I was charmed , captivated by your presence else, what explains the long gaze I gaze I gave when I first saw you?
Darkness wouldn't dare hide your beauty
Reaching out to you.
Happily I would have you
Call you mine.
Because you are a treasure
My treasure!

I worry

No I'm not pissed. It only saddens my heart to watch you act this way... My heart beats faster, quicker than it really should.

No I'm not confused.

I'm only stunned! I don't understand you. Of course I try so hard but the more I try the harder it gets!..

Come!.. Help me!...

Save me from this pain. This anxiety you have bestowed upon me.

Do you have a heart? With your mouth you've watered my heart with those soft words. One that falls like droplets of finest waters.

I sit beside you and I'm embraced by your warmth and peace.

I gaze into your eyes and I see love and a burning fire.

The love, I want. The fire, it burns.

I melt at your presence.

Now what would you call that which I feel? Because right now, I fight with so many emotions. Feelings meant to be expressed but

I FEAR!

Just one act of your stupidity poses a question to me each time I try to let myself go "is it really worth it???...."...

I worry...:/

HE WISHES FOR THE CLOTHS OF HEAVEN

A critical analysis of the poem "He wishes for the cloths og Heaven" by W.B Yeats...

HAD I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams

The poem “He wishes for the cloths of heaven” by W.B Yeats, is one in which there is a noticeable change of mood at one point. The poet uses a variety of words and statement  to show this.

In the first five lines of the poem, he expressed his love for the woman of his dreams Maud Gonne as the poem was written for her. Here, the poet talks about all the real and unreal things he isready to adorn her with. He tells her of how much of a treasure she is to him. He would beautify her with “the cloths of heaven” He wishes he could give her all to glorify her beauty but in the real world it is unattainable.

In the last three lines of the poem, the poet comes back to reality as he spoke about the outward but now speaks inwardly. He says that he cannot bring the perfection of heaven to the woman rather he would give her his dreams. He ends the poem with a warning note as she never can tell what her actions would do to his dreams so she should tread upon it softly.

In the first two lines, the poet talks about the beauty of heaven, colours and lights

“Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths

Enwrought with golden and silver lights”

The poet makes it known to the woman he loves. He says here that if he had the well tailored cloths of heaven, how glorious and beautiful would they be? In reference to the word “heaven” a beautiful picture is created as heaven signifies perfection. As he wishes for the cloths, so does he wish he could gain the love of the woman which is unattainable. The poet then goes on to speak about the cloths been covered with golden and silver lights. The lights signify the beauty of the heavenly bodies the sun and moon even as they both give lights at different times of the day, so will she be an illuminator of light. This also brings an idea of perfection and worth. The fact that the Gold and silver metals are of great value on earth, the heavens cloths are adorned with the bright light.

Yeats then goes on to give a detailed description of the cloths and how magnificent it looks.

“The blue and dim and the dark cloths

Of night and light and the half-lights”

The colour blue, being mentioned in the line, introduces the thought of holiness as it creates a sense of purity and religious admiration. We begin to see the cloths from a religious perspective as the poet likens it to the woman blasphemously.

The poet speaks about “the dim and the dark”. The poet use of alliteration is effective as it creates a pleasant picture of the different beautiful colours being combined together to give an unimaginable beauty. The colour also gives a description of the sky. Her beauty is one which could be related and ascribed to the sky. The poet begins to talk of “nights and light and half-light”, the poet also reinforces the beauty of the light and sky and its relation to the cloths. The picture of an unquenchable, radiating and glowing cloth is created.

Yeats speaks about what he would offer her and how it would be offered to her.

“I would spread the cloths under your feet”

If only he could attain the cloths of heaven, and give it to her, a cloth as precious as the most valuable metals, in all its beauty, he would lay it on her feet. This also reinforces the idea of religious worship. He would graze her feet with it. He would adore and elevate her whilst at her feet. This shows how much in love he feels on the inside for this woman that he would place her on a pedestal.

The tone of the poem changes drastically, at this point as he returns to reality. In the last three lines , the poet refers inwardly and pleads with the woman he loves.

“But I being poor, have only my dreams

I have spread my dreams under your feet”

The poet says here that as he cannot afford to give her all of the beauty and treasures of heaven, he would give her his dreams; as his dreams are very important to him. As humans, our dreams should be important to us. For the poet to spread his dreams under feet, he is giving himself to the woman. The dreams of the poet, are the same dreams which created the cloths of heaven and giving them to her, gives us an idea of how highly and worthy he thinks of her.

The poet ends the poem with a note of warning to the woman he loves.

“Tread softly because you tread on my dreams”

He is telling the woman to be careful on how she treads for she treads on his dreams. He asks her to be careful on how she rejects him and his advances towards her. She should treat him with consideration and not leave him forlorn. Her constant rejections, could wreck his life.

The poem is worded so engaging and beautifully as it looks like a complex and heavy woven poem and this could be treated as the beautiful cloths  of heaven themselves which is almost unimaginable yet clearly structures in our minds.

Yeats rhymes every word at the end of a line with the same word as the line down. This reinforces the idea in our subconscious mind as the image of cloths, lights, feets and dreams, are firmly created in our minds  

:).... You've got a right to happiness..:)

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!...I could laugh the whole day!!!
You know the feeling
you get from being free
one without hate for yourself
GUILT ERADICATED ... Yeah! that feeling.
I made myself a prisoner
in my own self,
held captive for so long by my thoughts,
sentenced guilty by that little voice in my head
Oh! My conscience
I have fought so hard
today is my last tussle
struggle of self refrain!!

****I'm sure you've once felt this way (free) if not try, empty your sad thoughts... Stop questioning yourself. Just refrain from whatever sad thoughts you've got that makes you hate yourself and surely you would smile****

"Love-Time"

You could be in love  but sadly feel so alone...
you wish to playback memories of the one you once loved but as the saying goes
********"When love hurts, you just have to let go"********


 Had I the power of time,

I would tame tardily

Time and time again I look back and say-

Loving you is one I uphold dearly

Enraptured in your bossom I feel

The mere sound of you I hear,

soothes my very heart.
The beauty of you sets a pedestal in my heart
All I have to give is my being
Seems all's turning around
Echoes of cry and pain
A burning sensation I feel
What does that mean you say?
Spaces-Indeed a vaccum is left
One time in itself cannot heal
All this happens because of time.....

I love you

*****It's so funny how people have misused dis lovely line .... ain't it funny how every Tom, Dick and Harry comes up to u and spits this line?... here is what I've got to say

I love you

Hmmm what a phrase

From the depths of my being I care

Hmmm what sentiments

My world is incomplete without you

Hmmm what flattery

Would you let me into your life please?

Hmmm what politeness

You are the best thing that ever happened to me

Now you're making me feel special

Easily, we are swayed by these soft words of "love"

nah.. ain't a crime.... with the right person it could be good ...

causing that heart of yours to melt at each utterance and slowly releasing peace

but with the wrong person....hmmmm it could be too late mostly if you've fallen so helplessly

hence we make room for the so called "love"

instead of having a good life, we end up containing love's excesses....

hoping to overcome all ...

Mind you, dont ever sit there wondering if theres anything like love(one thing everyone craves for)

Love is not far away it's only waiting to be discovered... don't ask me how.. cause we've all got that wee voice on the inside which most times we try to hush!.. but might just have the right answers to our dusty worries......

merely thoughts of mine.. take it however way you want...xxx

AFRICAN WOMAN

how lovely and pleasant you are
