Lovely one

 Ah, Lovely one, sit close-by. 
See the little wings to the east 
That flies, to nest on a rustle twig.
It seems her night was far spent
On melodious stress, 
That only the stars pierced.
What of you, tawny, encamped one,
Will you not sail or sore past my shore.
One day, dear one, my horizon will be lost
Your sight will search in vain
For in this realm I will be no more. 

K.Oni 

To live for Christ is all there is

To live for Christ is all there is
All other ways, in the end, is vain.
A look at the world,
There is so much pain,
But too many on their altars burn 
And offer sacrifices to demons
As if to gain, a heaven on earth,
It shall never be.
Only Christ can give true peace for all eternity.

Tell me something

 Tell me something nice about me, I want to hear.
Do something nice for me, I want to see.
Spend some time with me, I want to feel,
The love of a friend that loves me for me.
Give me a gift, I don't mind what it is,
As long as you thought of me in the process, that's all I mean.
Tell me about you, I can listen all-day
Let me know what makes you glad
I'll happily comply.
Life is hard, although it is a gift, it comes with an emotional price.
Let's make it easier by being kind all the time.

The writings of Sunny Caane

 Dear Sunny,

I cannot tell whether she’s happy or unhappy. This can be remedied simply by me asking her a direct question, but no. I’ll abstain from such a direct approach and continue to watch the signs and unconscious acts. I could well misinterpret them but then I’ll drink that error of judgment on myself. Coward! But I think my approach bravery. Besides, why do I care? It is merely curiosity. A desire to understand people without having them explain it to me.

Yours forever

Obedience to God is not optional

Obedience to God being not optional is not something that is preached in the church often. It is often shunned. Obedience is essential to Christianity - it is not optional. When we disobey God, it is a serious sin - it is at its root, wicked! We are so flippant these days that many do not recount the law of God in their hearts nor meditate on his precepts. How more sanctified the church would be today if the church focused and lived out obeying God. We have kissed the world and catered to her feelings that we have angered God. O, the need for repentance is so great for the church and much more so in my heart. Help us, Lord, help us!

May I abide in your love

Dear Lord, how sweet you are! O, that I may abide in your love by keeping your commandments. And what is your commandment? That we love one another as you have loved us. O what a grand love I am to show to my neighbour! What a grand love. O, my dear brother and sister in Christ, I am to love you the way Christ loved his disciples. I am to lay down my life for you. I am! You are all my friends, there is no exception. So you annoy me, so we do not see eye to eye, so we are like water and fire. But you have the spirit of Christ in you and that makes us friends. We are to share a table of fellowship - we are to drink together and eat together. O, what a love. Come here friend and give me a hearty hug. I'll weep with you and rejoice with you!

My MBTI

My Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is Introversion, Intuition, Thinking, and Perceiving (INTP). The MBTI was developed by Isabel Briggs Myers and Katharine Briggs based on the work of Carl Jung 'to identify 16 different personality types that help explain differences in how people take in information and make decisions about it.'

This highlights the strength of a person and helps the individual understand their own personality type. It is not perfect but it is a good estimate of your psychological type. 

(I) Introversion: Preference for drawing energy from one’s inner world of ideas, emotions, and impressions.

(N) Intuition: Preference for taking in information through a “sixth sense” and noticing what might be.

(T) Thinking: Preference for organizing and structuring information to decide in a logical, objective way.

(P) Perceiving: Preference for living a spontaneous and flexible life.

It will be gone

I told you to be patient
I told you to be kind
I told you to find me
In the deep end of time.
You said I was vague
You asked me what exactly the deep end of time was.
I shrugged my shoulders
And told you to look at the horizon
And let that inspire you. 
You said I have lost touch 
I said maybe I knew too much
Life is not a mystery
In the end, it will be gone!

Miserable weight

Where it for the sake of peace
I would have marched to the end
But it was a fool's errand
To die for a general who cowered in fear.
Dignity and grace go hand in hand
Victory and aim are two twins inclined,
Too stubborn to quit till the end.
Where it for the sake of peace I would not have sighed
But till the end, I must finish my task
And on my grave, place a cross
The government's weight was surely miserable to bear!

The twilight of her rule

 She was always lovely to my eyes
A saint among saints, pure and elegant in all of her ways.
O bless him, bless him that he has her
And she loves him and he loves her.
What a lovely theme
And I adore her all the more
Not in any romantic theme,
But in each live gaze
I remember the last seen
How I was awed
Like I had just seen an angel's wing.
We spoke and there was a flame in my heart
To touch her cheek
But my hands remained meek.
How I wish our conversations would have last
To the end of time
But on this earthly line
I fear we shall never hold a conversation
More than we are both doing fine.
Shy me, yet why me
A platonic dream 
There is none yet on my team.
Deepening dusk, let me rest beyond the twilight of her rule.

K.Oni


O Mercy for me

 O Mercy for me for I have not been upright.
I have failed in my faithfulness to thee my God.
How I weep and sigh - How I weep and sigh.

But there is hope in God
Christ has died for all of our daily sins.

I could never reach

 Ah, dear Illicia
I wonder what your life is like now.
Is it happy, filled with opportunities
And you have the fruits of your wildest dreams.
Or are you pining like me?
Looking for a vision to be not diffident.
Or are you serene in the arms of another
Living the life of love that will last forever and after.
I wish you well
And Indeed I tell
My memories to remember you well
As a blazoned grasp
I could never reach.

Miscellanies 131

 It is a new year and what should I make of it other than to live it to the glory of God. I am not a prophet so I have no word on the future of events and what will take place. It could be my dying year or a year where perhaps I get married or accomplish things beyond my wildest dreams. In any case this year I want to be more of a leader and one who takes the initiative. 

Life is not easy in fact most of us find it hard. But we live on in hope. I live on in Christ and I hope to be a good and faithful servant.
