TELL YOUR STORY

TELL YOUR STORY

Let me tell you a story
Of how it used to be
Come give God the Glory
With the man I used to be
I was born in a world of sin
Till I let God's Grace come in

We all have a tale to tell
Of who we used to be
Back on that...

MAKE THE WORLD STUMBLE

MAKE THE WORLD STUMBLE

The winds of change blow
Blowing through my hair
The race seems to slow
When I'm bowing in prayer
I'm still so I can know
The Power my God will show

Hear the laughter of the giant
As I arise from my knees
Though...

GLOSSY IN SEMI DARKNESS

You would most like to leave the city of Nineveh a long time ago; just admit it calmly! Many times you gave up on promising promises, because you thought you could still hope for a more livable way of life, an arranged comfort zone. The crammed,...

Exhortation Revised 4-27-2024

Gazing beyond the horizon, a renewal like never before,
The urge to reach for the stars, a notion to explore.
Like a sudden evening shower, hitting just right,
A gentle push in the direction of our flight.
Is it destined, this path we must take?...

And The Angels Cried

The Angels looked down from above,
watching her as she sat in anxious silence.
Waiting, hoping, wondering if her lover was going to come to her.
They felt the agonizing loneliness that consumed her.

They listened as she silently prayed for the...

An admired heart

Why present thee upon thine altar,
When thine only need was upon thine eyes of another,
Forbidden to see such wonderous sight,
Just to see another smile in delight,
Rarely have we argued and each other denied,
So in spirit upon my knees to ask...

Where Eagles Fly

The eagle circles high above the canyon caves
the dolphin leaps through the ocean waves
as we walk through the promised land
our heads held high giving not a helping hand

The eagle my brother using his gift of sight
flies higher than most...

Voice of Protest

Voice of Protest

Hail the people who made the choice
To give the downtrodden a singular voice.
Like a candle holds the night at bar
Protests indicate an unjustifiable war.

When events are happening in a land so far,
It’s common to look no...

SEA CREATURE


Deep, deep down, in the sea, where nothing else ought to be
There lives a creature that shouldn’t be

This creature lives on dreams you see
This creature deep beneath the sea

 
When all is still in dead of night
When children sleep with...

Snitch II

Snitch, you’re gonna get hit.
Snitch, you don’t have a friend.
Cause you’re already dead,
You’re about to lose you’re head,

Kiss your ass goodbye.
You don’t have much time.
Kiss your mother goodbye.
They’re casing her place.
You can’t show...

Caroline, she's mighty fine.

One kiss from her will make your head explode.
Not gonna lie Caroline is mighty...

This Side of My Skin

This side of my skin is a book to be read.
There are stretch marks in all places
telling the struggles of my weight.
Like my moods, there were highs and lows and everything in between.
Speckled everywhere is a giant connect-the-dots of...
