Our focus creates our energies.
It acts, it spells our destinies.
Good or bad , holy or evil,
Our focus is the cause.
Estranged from God,
Descending into despair,
Unrest and faithlessness
Are all but effect of our focus.
Do not be a fool,
Suffer not unnecessary
Focus on the light
And darkness dispels.
Remember,
Your hope of glory
Keep beholding Christ.

What’s on my mind?
The world can’t do without You,
You color it so nicely
The strokes of your
Carmel brush so gentle
But tickles the world
Until it cracks up.
On gloomy days,
Sad lonely nights
With starless skies
You color the world
Courage,
Your humour the most
Friendly face on hard, rocky days.
The world can’t do without You
Light,
It’ll be so dark without
Your shine,
The world can’t do without You
Salt,
It’ll be tasteless without your savour.
The world needs you to
Shine,
The world needs your
Flavour,
Do the world a favor,
Be who you were sent
To be.

Solitude is addictive
Still you must make accommodation
You must break these walls of loneliness
Let at least few come in
Yes chaos will creep in
But peoples spirit
Will light your heart
With _FIRE_

After my long journey
into the league of darkness.
After my painful crossing
the bridge of conformism.
Here, I swim again.
Swimming in the pool of eternal truth
Rebaptizing my sense
in the pool of light .
Everyone has inherent right
To be as their wish to be.
As long as they affirm this power in others.
As long as they remain in this boundary.
I am holy in my own terms
You can be holy as you choose .
I am a king in my own way
You can own the world in your own terms.
There is no monopoly
There is no monopoly of life,
There is no monopoly of knowledge
There is no monopoly of love
There can be no monopoly of power
There can be no monopoly of creativity
There can be no monopoly success
There is no monopoly of God .

Story says,
I was born as a golden boy,
In coal city
To ordinary lovers.
Story says,
My flaws outnumbers my character.
Still, great stories forces me up,
Pushes me to the brink and beyond.
Story says,
Many will not make the peak
Unless, the stories, their study
Becomes light or spirit.

There is no shame that taketh a man
But such that is common to man
In nakedness without shame
For his glory surrounds you
You see not my flaws or mistakes
Not because you know you’re naked too
But because he’s made me good
In you I see glory
In me you see glory
With faults and flaws here and there
Yes in this journey we may hurt or be hurt
But it’s no shame in nakedness
Because when I see you
And you see me
Its his glory that surrounds us.
There is therefore now no shame
To those who are in Christ Jesus
Who walk not after the things they see
But after his word
Which says
Fear not, though fearful things surround you
Be thou not confounded,
Though there are things you may not understand
Be not ashamed, though you’re naked and hurt
You’ll not be put to shame, for I am your glory
Breath in earthen clay
Words into void state
Light into dark days
Your Maker and Husband I Am!
