Lady moonlight

Writing essence fell under the moonlight

seeing each curve as a blessing to be out

instead of being home tonight

Lost within its world as we'd gaze at the lights

standing off, both legs floating never so right

looking at her stars kept the hole in my heart

ever capsizing but never fully overturning

this is like Noah's ark

The moon is my boat

its stars are my waves

and I'm the only passenger

whom she has chosen to pull

through her days and nights

even though when morning awakes

and her sight removed from my gaze

I still do believe in her

knowing we'll meet again

my lady moonlight

her kisses drag me to space.

- Rashaan K. Thompson(Think Out Loud poetry group )

When we kiss

When her lips embrace mine

Words become unwanted

Our souls amalgamate

Time never-ending

Birds sing songs of love

While roses bloom with honey-filled aroma

The sun starts to illuminate the sky with romance

Love is in the air

A kiss and all that was done.

November 13

The day on which I was born

Twenty years ago

To two wonderful parents

A beautiful angel

And a warm soul

Sent from above

Filled with lots of love

A child full of spunk

Always jovial

A true inspiration

A child filled with determination

Who doesn't quit

Till she reaches the top of the hill

A peaceful child

Ignoring petty things

For those aren't important

A day so glorious in all its splendour

Given to the family by a loving saviour

So I say happy birthday to myself

For many have passed on

But I am alive and well

Thank God!

Unexpected journey

We all have our journeys

And somewhere along the line the unforeseen happens

The bend in the road we did not plan for

The 'Red Sea' we need to cross

What do we do?

Do we give up?

Do we wallow in self pity?

Or do we cry and ask 'why me?'

God knows just how much we can bear

He knows just what test to give us

It is for us to know that when we get these tests

It's just God's way of letting us know that he trusts us to make it through

We have to put the devil to shame, like Job did

Let him know that even if God does not deliver us from the present situation

We won't stop serving him

It was said that the teacher stays silent during the test

So whenever we don't hear God's voice in our crisis just remember

He has made a way of escape and he is looking down from above trusting us to never give up

When we feel like we can't make it

Just take one day at a time, if the day seems too long

Take one hour at a time, and even when that still seems long

Take a minute, until you have made it through

God won't leave us and he'll never give us more that we can bear

Never give up on God, because he will not give up on you!

Life as a subject

Life is a subject

Every day is a test

The pass mark is survival

You got to do your best

You will not always be able

To make corrections

But learn all you can

That should be your intention

Never be a copycat

You're an original

Be prepared for theory

Each day gets more practical

Study hard

Complete assignments

You will see some improvements

With persistence and confidence

There should be achievements.

Sea of love

When you are sailing on the sea of love

You feel as if you are a dove

Soaring in the sky

Not thinking of falling when you fly

The happy feeling you get

Holds you in a beautiful net

You will not want to be free

Because love is such a mystery

It takes you high, up in the sky

You never even want to know why

So take a chance with this awesome gift

It will give you such a special lift

You'll have no need for sadness

Your heart will be filled with so much gladness

You'll never want to try anything new

Because love is truly a special glue

It holds you and keeps you in a special place

Gives you feelings you won't erase

Love, such a beautiful thing

It truly makes your heart sing.

Most High

Most High, if I should boast, it would be about

Your love for me

Most High, if I should give a toast, I would give you

Thanks for your wonderful blessings

Most high, they say you are a ghost, but I can feel

Your presence down the beautiful north coast

Most high, anoint me with the strongest dose

So I can draw closer to you.

A kiss from you

You kissed my lips as I kissed yours

it felt so good my heart almost burst

In you I saw nothing but love

It's so hard to be strong in a moment of weakness, especially when

you've waited so long

I wanted to re-arrange my entire life, my future

but the reality is not always as the fantasy nor the dreams we harbour

When I'm with my friends, I just want to run straight to you

because in your arms is where I'd rather be

just to wake up in the morning and watch the sun shining on your

handsome face

You fill me with so much desire it drives me to divine ecstasy

Kissing and loving you is all that's on my mind

I want to be with you one more time.
