The Lord of Love

 Dear Lord, you are the Lord of Love
The desire of all the Nations. 
You are true and overflow with mercy.
I am indebted to your grace,
May I love you all of my days. 
I am a weak man with nothing to show at all.
I am uneducated, no beauty of my own.
Everyone eschews me, no lady of my own to own,
But you dear Lord, will never let me go.

Pleasing to you

 Forgive me Lord I'm a sinner
I will to do right, but I keep acting wrong.
The problem is deep, am I in a fall
Still, I've got to rise and turn around to the Lord.
Let this day be the day, I'll never look back,
I'll keep on the narrow and praise you even in the hurt.
The pain is the struggle, nothing hurts me more than sin,
I wish I could always be perfect
So that all I do could be pleasing to you.

I see every night

 I knew a sad boy who came to me and said:

Dear sir, I am intoxicated
My mama wants me to marry
But I have tried.
The girl that I love
She doesn't want me 
So what am I to do?
Every night I write to her 
No response,
She is a dream
I see every night.
I pray to God 
But the Christ 
Has a different leaning.
Will I end up alone
Or marry a chick I ain't feeling?
What am I to do
I am on my knees pleading.
If you can, dear Lord
Please make her willing.
I don't know why I care so much
I picture her lips kissing me.
Is this the drink
Or true feelings that I am feeling?
The girls are scarce
I've met her once 
From my memory, she ain't leaving. 
Help me stay true
I love you Lord more than anything.
I keep searching
But all I am asking is for her to love me.
If this ain't meant to be
My heart breaks into a million pieces.
Let me love another 
The new testament is the covenant I am keeping.
I have got a few dates
Let them replace this anguishing feeling.
Your love is what I love
I` love you Lord 
And that will Last till eternity.

My Habbit

 How can I tell you that I love you?
Would you believe me and laugh?
And I will mourn this fantastic idea
Of looking deep into your light
And see a forest of wonder 
Garbled in your gentle delight.
O what must I do to rid myself of you?
You have become my habit 
My daily haunting praise.

I knew a sad boy

 I knew a sad boy who came to me and said: Every lady that has passed me by or given me up has been wise, yea wise for I should have caused them a great ruin. Even my mother gave me up, and all of my sisters and nieces. They all gave me up and yet I own no bitter hate towards them but from this unbreachable distance do wish them well. 

K.Oni

Rise all you children of God,

 Rise all you children of God,
Rise and praise his holy name.
He is the beginning and end of all things,
The joy of all of our hopes.
He is my redeemer,
The one who loves me 
And is committed to sustaining me.
O rise, all ye that love him
Rise and praise his wonderful name.
He has done great things for us
He has kept us from the hands of the evil one.

It is irrational

 I am drawn to her like a moth to the light. 
My flight, a happy silence of my delusional delight.
Night sleep evades me because of her elegant grace
But not towards me for she has discarded me to a forever distant gaze.
My hope is now lost in an eternal dream
I long to speak pour out all of my emotional zeal.
It is irrational like my attachment to her enthralling charm,
A picture in my head, perhaps erroneous if I embraced her fatal hue.

My weekend

 What to do this weekend? This I do not know. Sunday I will go to church but I have to book my ticket. Perhaps on Saturday, I will play football, but I may have to go to work. Either way, I will enjoy it and I hope Sunday is fun. My week has been busy, so much so I am glad to rest in the evening. I wish I prayed more, read more, and definitely loved more!

His Kindness

 Let me be holy, Let me be pure in heart.
I know I love the Lord, Let me keep in step with the Spirit.
I am sorry for the nights I have grieved you,
At times I wake up in shame.
Yet the sun shines on me
His kindness should always lead me to repentance.

K.Oni

She will leave when she heals

 She came to me broken,
Someone had her heart stolen.
Does pursuing her make much sense?
Her moods get intense
But I take it in my stroll.
I rolled the dice,
It told me to take a chance,
But I know she will leave when she heals!

Dreadful clouds

 My sweet dear,
How beautiful you are,
How wonderful.
I long to see your face
To linger long into your eyes.
But what to think about your heartaches.
I fear it pines for another
And I have settled for you.
My portion is always at a loss
But never odious are your ways to me.
I desire your touch
To know that you approve of me.
But how can I ask
All I can do is watch
As you heal, and I pray 
That when you recover
That you reach greater heights
And if that is without me
Yet I will rejoice that you once again stand and smile
After a long sitting underneath dreadful clouds.

My Daily bread

 Thank you, Lord, for your mercy towards me. I love you with all that I have. May I be more righteous and more Holy. May I be braver for the sake of your name. O, Good God. You are great and your ways are everlasting. May I feed on you my daily bread!

Difficulties arise and pass away. Life has a beginning and an end. Who knows when? Some are deliberate  Some are sudden And some are slow. B...
