Poems

Love Story

Give my love.

Give me power.

Give me blessings like a shower.

Life is fun.

Life is real.

Life enduring.

Working without dreaming.

Seeing is believing and so is

This feeling of love inside and

My life revealing.

– Ajua Noble

The Hero Man

You’re a true God man, the apple of His eyes

Made in His image and likeness

You express His kindness

Gentle, you are an awesome man

Meek, that’s why I seek you my God Man!

Faithful to me you say to God you’re grateful

To the Ancient of days you suffer long

Knowing you must be patient

Temperate, you never overdo

But trust in God to see you through.

Love says it all

And that’s what you do to stand tall

My God Man you’ll never fall

‘Cause you lean on the wall.

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

You won’t flee ‘cause in Jesus you be

My God Man, valiant you are

As you face the war

God will take you far

Even beyond the star.

– Marie Henry

His Last Song

His beauty was not like a cactus

But that of a rose

He stood high in intellect

Like his tall, manly pose

“Half-way to paradise”

His potent lyrics rang

But he never became

The Dee-jay

Life meant him

To become

His jovial, joking

Manner

Hit like cool breeze

To the sun

But his smile sheathed

The torment

That must

Have led

To what he’d done

As he drank the acidic brew

That made his very life

Undone

But I still believe Heaven

Has not given up

On its son

It’s been eight years

Dear cousin

Since your

Shocking decision

But I still believe

That Heaven

Has not given up

On its mission

And has already seen

Through

Your obvious moments

Of depression

And has forgiven you

For thinking

You belonged

Only half-way to the sun

And will welcome you

Even with guilty hands-

On Cleopatra’s Asp

Singing your last song.
