Only to preach of her peace

 Let me write of never-ending days
The bliss, the scorn
All I was concerned about was if her love would stay.
I walked past the green hills of joy
And asked the clouds that each night watered the morning grass,
If she loved me and she said for me to ask the sun.
Brave I, without shades, looked deep
Almost blinded, I would with no eyes if I could kiss
Her all day long, and in the night spread a feast
Invite all the gods, only to preach of her peace.

I wrote of her long ago

 I wrote of her long ago
Now pregnant and each night 
I pray for safe keep.
Wonder I, if I would have left
Or grew deeper in her British eyes
That never slept.
God remains the only being that I adore
I have lost friends and family to my loss.
But she is well, I am glad and pray
That the good Almighty will keep her unhurt.

Almost leaped for Joy

 If I should rise before I fall
Into the darkness that never stalls
Know I, If you know yourself to be self indeed
There is a bright mark, Only if you have eyes to see.
I wonder, If wonder is anything at all,
I stand tall if standing small is anything at all,
I am wild if being calm is a brutal storm,
Then I am, what I am, what am I?
Each night I face the storm!
Come here, let me see peace if she can be seen,
My dreams, escalate beyond Jupiter's streams;
And care I, Lately, I care for nothing at all
I call a friend, who was an enemy in disguise!
In New Zealand, where the hills leap for joy
My Skeleton, she would flesh me 
But eschews everything I adore.
Eyes like a cat, caught in a Lover amazing awe
Dreaded delight, too many dreams of her in the night.
The moonlight shines
Here I, in dreams that dreamt the stars,
Infinite demise, eternity will decide
If she was a cousin to beauty's charm.
Is life a stream, an ever-ending spring?
Or a short discomfort
Moody with her needs.
Myriad mystery, 
She was almost six feet tall
Novial defeat, My love was ocean deep
But steep was my ill, 
A coldness brought me to the shore
Where I took a pause
And cursed the day where her sky 
Spread over my hill that almost leaped for joy!

love her dearly

 How many nights did she weep?
One hundred times or a thousand times,
And even if heaven and earth or cupids arrow
Did with all their powers spend,
Could never move my heart to love her dearly.


K.Oni

I see us running into the distance

 I see us running into the distance 
Until our sunsets on Christ's shores.
But you will not walk with me
You bid me farewell
And prayed that we never meet.

I sighed and said what a loss for me
I groaned and moaned and threw my hope.
It is what it is, what fun I would have had
To gaze upon her beauty all of my years and more.

I asked the horizon will you walk with me
Go the distance through this desert heap?
I told the wind she can come on by
And gently weep with me tonight.

Another Eve, am I a Cain?
Even he was blessed with a kiss-
I know my stains, they cry to me
But can a leopard change his skin!


K.Oni

Worthy of you

 Like Jacob’s delight in seeing Rachel
 So was mine for you -
But give me seven years to gather my wealth
And then shall I be worthy of you!

I will realise all of my dreams

 I will realise all of my dreams,
Much of it consist of holy living.
May I reach the heights I believe in
By God's grace I will be what he wants me to be.
