I saw a bird up on high
And wondered why she flew so high.
All her friends were flying round
Around a thing invisible to my eyes.
I walked on by and looked again
And this bird remained up on high.
I left my thoughts
For I knew I would never know why this bird
Flew on her own up high!

The Queen died and so must we all. One day, death will knock on our door and we must bid him entry. We may deny him for a while but time will bring him in. Will we be ready? At times, death comes unexpected and hit us blindly. Such are called misfortunes! But are you ready for the after? You will again open your eyes and shall be in a new realm, in a new place, in front of the Judge, the Judge of all Judges. And what shall be your plea for before you their lies Heaven or Hell. Will you be acquitted or be found guilty. The Queen died and so she too will face her Judge. So will you.
K.Oni
What is life
Or the meaning of it all!
I eat and I pray
Today I see the sky
And tomorrow I will see it again.
One of my friends rejoice
For tomorrow he marries
Whilst another
Is in deep mourning.
O Sun you burning flame of gas
Is Jupiter the works of your hand?
French fries are better with salt
Open to hear the song bird sing
A dirge or a bliss but will I be in tune?
Love is kind, when it ends
Death kisses the hand of him
Whom fate has destined to fall by the flame
Or natural, of which old age has claimed.
What is life and what are we living for?
Collectively it does not exist
Because individually we must close our eyes.
Fools, there is a God whom we have all ignored
And smitten us with his gentle bow
For we fail to bow the knee.
I know if this is all I know,
Jesus is King and to this King I sow
All of my threads, weaved in sin I wish I did not know
But the drink takes me to places
That makes me not sow.
K.Oni
Humility smiles as Diligence seeks
For the poor to please
Another soul to release
From burden that we must all bear
But not in equal weights!
Are God's blessings blind like Justice?
Why they and not me?
The world spins
But we are not the sun!
Blessed peace
I abandoned by my careless ways,
And I fail because I bow to sin's desires,
Even Rome, fell!
The devil fell,
Christ descended
But only He ascended
And mankind will once again ascend,
I rejoice to when
Jacob's ladder I will Ascend.
K.Oni
Many begin to love God
But fail to finish.
The lust of the world takes them
And like Demas, they are gone.
It begins slowly,
A little here and there.
Diligence slowly gives way,
Discipline to prayer goes away.
Many begin to love God
But very few finish.
But those whom God has eternally Loved
Will never lose His Eternal Love.
K.Oni
Night of sorrow
Came on the wings of an Eagle's flight.
To the mountain of doom
We all marched to bow to death
But not to fear.
K.Oni
The grace of God of God is deep and wide. We must cling to it for it is our only hope in Christ Jesus. Some have fallen so deep because they failed in their obedience, but yet will not deny the faith and some have maintained their faith and denied the world. We must pray for each other and bring back those brothers who are dejected because of their unrighteousness. It is a good thing that that they feel the pain of their cowardice and should have known better that God's kindness should always lead to repentance. Yet they struggle with this and often kiss the feet of the world. We ought to pity them but Christ has not forsaken them because they are his. And for us who are strong, we should not forsake them too but admonish them as much as we can and leave them into the strong hands of Christ. If you are a brother in this state, who kisses the world yet hates it, forsake the world now and be in full surrender to Christ Jesus. O, forgive us for our evil ways for i have misjudged the power of sin. No matter the years, it can still rise with his full force falling the greatest of saints. O, I remember David and Peter! Even after their great repentance, they still fell. O, Help us all. Help me to help me and to help my brothers and sisters in the faith.

A flower fell
In A well,
The slave
Drew it unknowingly
And ended in the Maid's bath.
Heavenly scent
She was lost
In the thought of a prince
Who never came,
Ended in a convent
Sweet Mary was
Always full of grace.
K.Oni
Dear Lord,
My Sins are plentiful. I have drunk deep in the world and followed every course of debauchery. But your ways remain deep in me. I remember Jerusalem and your temple, I long to return, but my sins keep me chained to the world. O, free me, dear Lord. Set me free that I may rejoice in the ways of salvation again. I have made many mistakes and kissed many forbiden fruits, O, Help me for I long to kiss heaven and rest in the bossom of my Saviour.
K.Oni
Let me write some truth
I have fallen beyond redemption's wings.
I know it so
Because the blessings have gone from me.
I failed again and I no more can marvel,
But yet, I cannot throw away the faith
That has me anchored in reality.
Jesus is Lord!
The Spirit spreads His truth.
Any soul that asks me
What is life about
I will always say
It is all about the Christ.
O, May I learn obedience,
His 39 lashes, still I'm drinking from the world.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
This blessing, will it ever find me?
I will not stop,
Even though I go days without praying,
Bless the Lord,
May I Blaspheme your name no more!
K.Oni
The world thinks it's strong
When she is weak.
The grass greener grows
And man in his vanity
Has forgotten God.
But God is not dead,
The kind creator keeps its existence on
For it is all in His plan
And no one can derail,
Even the devil imagined
A world where the Son of God
Would remain in the grave!
K.Oni
I asked the sea where the drowned gold went?
Only her waves replied!
I miss you my beauty,
What can I do but mourn you,
You were the sunshine that blessed me!
K.Oni
Is the truth so cold that it requires boldness?
I wonder who knows what tomorrow brings?
What is the end of it all.
Can I surprise you with my love.
I have no hate but apathy resides in me.
She wonders why I shy away,
I stay silent but I do not want to drag her through my past.
I just want to stay, no trouble;
But my dreams and pride will not let me sleep.
My faith is always calling me to walk.
I feel so cold
But I will pull through.
K.Oni
I thought I would grow holier as I live out my life but I have regressed and walked away from the narrow path. I have ceased praying, and walking aright all because I drifted and did not put on my armour for the fight.
I went to war naked and cold and the enemy covered me in his false light. I felt the warmth and remembered the old days, when I knew no conviction and devotedly served the prince of this world. My lust were not sinful in my mind, and I caressed greed as to me it was a good goal for life. O, I was blind but in my blindness I was walking in the light. Money was sight and to have power was right.
All this, when heavenly light struck me down, and grace awoke me from my sleep of death, I saw the murk and the gloom I was in, and saw all of my sins and knew the night of my hideous sins. Grace kissed me, and love brought the sun, the warmth and heat that smooched my heart to breathe its first breath of righteousness. Joy followed and bequeathed a sight of the Heavenly Son, hope carried me to the place where saints pray, and I walked the day feeling like all is new to me.
The narrow path so sweet to me and ahead I saw the Christ with his cross ahead of me. Him I followed singing my richest gain I count but loss and pour contempt on all my pride.
In public I preached to friends and foe, defended the Lord on all fronts and would have died on the gospel hill.
O, how far I have fallen, like him who fell like lightning from heaven.
O to rise again from the ashes, to stand tall on repentance hill, blessed is the Lord that uplifted me and uplifted me from the mire. O, saints, do not walk as I have walked, but stay on the path of holiness. The Lord's rod is sweet and how he laid it heavily on my back. I had ignored his whispers and discarded his talk but when he shouted in love, I froze and fall to my feet and wept like Peter.
K.Oni
Scandalous love
I cannot forgo,
It is forbidden
Yet I rode awake
Asleep to the Lord.
In darkness I have lived
When light beckons me.
Seraphic vision,
Her glow, a radiant light,
Shrewd distance
All discernment
Tossed to the wind!

On the vine

Is it me Lord?My Dear Sunny
The goal is to find a wife this year. But what sort of wife am I looking for? I have never really thought of it in a serious way before that I needed one. But now, growing in age, and seeing the sun forever circling its pilgrimage and my life declining, it is time I give serious thought to finding a wife. I want a Rachel as well as a Deborah. I want a Bathsheba without the murder that would give birth to a Solomon, but I am not a king. If I were a King, I fair I would be wasteful and indulge in so much pleasure that I would ruin my Life.
In a wife, I am not sure what I am looking for but when I see her, I shall know for sure. But I am very simple and I believe I could take any decent female that would have me. My ambition is not so high and my faults are plenty. Perhaps that is why every eyes have looked beyond me and would forever look pass me. But what care do I have in this world currently? I live for myself and do things at whatever hour delights me. I must give up this selfish way was to entertain a family. But I fear that I may fail in my duties and after a few years, I would neglect my kids and wife and strut about the earth in search of the silver gold.
But it is well. I have good guidance at my side and you dear Sunny is forever a shining example. you have taught me the ways of duty and honour and the importance of family. It is you that I see as the wisdom of the earth and the great light in the sky. All shall be well in as much as I have my mind at peace and my desires shall be fulfilled. I will pray earnestly and take a gamble, not blindly but be more open and see if the stars do guide our destinies.
I will be with you in August which is two moon rotations away and what joys awaits me.
Your dear childhood friend
Martins.
K.Oni
Goodbye and farewell.
Changing seasons are every year,
Does each leaf cry
When the summer ends
Knowing rebirth will come,
I too reflect
And kiss the thorn
That dreams a nightmare.
Secluded grace.
Adieu forbidden love.
I will never commerce with you
I massacre all of my affections
And rediscover the time
When your existence
Knew not I!
K.Oni
Is she in love
Fallen for Adam's son?
I wonder and regret
I desired I was the hand
That she kisses in the night.
Should I ask
Disgrace myself in the call?
I am too proud
And it is better to let sleeping dogs nod.
K.Oni
Her beauty amazes me
Young and golden,
Wild as the nomadic life.
Numbed by her pleasant eyes
The sun bows
When she exit her house.
A particular warmth
Her breath like the tender wind
That blows on the pious string.
Dear Lord, is this the wife
That you showed me
On the quiet hills
Where I gave you my life.
My Rachel, was Eve this pure?
I adore the resolute love
That is ripen,
Bless it with your sacred touch.
K.Oni
New year new me? There’s been a new me ever since I was saved in Christ otherwise all that remains is the old me with some moral transformations at best which the bible would describe as filthy rags in front of Gods sight. It’s harsh I know, but when the bible talks about our righteousness it pulls no punches. In fact it condemns every single person - there is no one righteous no not even one. Of course this excludes Jesus Christ, he was the only righteous person to have lived and died and he was raised from the dead. So new year new me will really be a new me if you are regenerated by the Spirit of God. And those who have been renewed but stuck under the old flesh in your patterns then you need to gaze upon the beauty of Christ and submit yourself to the sanctifying word of the Spirit. Embrace your new self and cast of the old self. Wake up for the days are evil.

Oh My dear delightful Sunny,
Read below about the pain I felt last week.
I was in much pain that I felt the sentences of death upon me. My back aches and I could not sleep. I struggled to breathe and would often say my last prayers that if I should not wake then, please Lord receive my sinful spirit. Such was my state that I despised of living itself, yet I wanted to live and live a life more committed to God.
The pain was excruciating and I thought that I had all kinds of illnesses. I remembered Paul who prayed ardently for his thorn to be removed and I prayed likewise - I began to think that this ache would be my lifelong thorn. I also thought about others who were in chronic pain whose pain was infinitely worse than mine and bore their pain with a daily smile. Those are the saints who color this world of pain. Mine was but a few days and I groaned but never cursed God like Job’s wife would have advised.
Perhaps, I exaggerate my pain to such a degree that it is not as burning as the sun but yet it was as the oven where inedible cake is baked so that it could be consumed. This pain came upon me as a rod to strike me awake from my lukewarmness to my sweet savior and indulging in the ways of the world that brings death. He struck me awake with such a heavy blow that it was the blow of love. O I thought He had forgotten me in the night and despised me in the day. But Christ eyes and mind are always about his saints and how he pleads for us every day.
I have been a wild rebel and in my rebellion, he loved me and forgave me. I will do likewise for I will not hold a grudge against those who do me ill for I have done many a wicked thing to others and worst of all to my God who forgives me of all of my unrighteousness. I will do likewise and always hold a cup of fellowship to as many enemies or friends are as willing to embrace me.
Yours forever,
Silvestre

When will I resist my sins
And desist from every worldy way?
Enticing, she beckons me,
The sweet song of the lady
That impulses me.
Engaging exquisite eyes,
Cheerful glances, a noble charm.
K.Oni
In this generation, I feel that we have lost our way. But if i must Stay true to the biblical truth, I feel that in every generation, there is a few remnant. Most are lost to the ways of the world and are persuaded by the devil not to consider the ways of eternity. It is indeed a miserable state for humanity and it will continue into the future until Christ suddenly returns.
Even for those who have tasted of the heavenly blessings, the ways of the world are so enticing that it is difficult enough to resist it even though one knows of the heavenly blessings to come. Oh, bless us with the faith of Moses who shunned Egypt for the desert knowing Canaan is ahead.
K.Oni
