Picture Speaks
A Pondering Heart
A) In The Room
- As I opened my
Eyes to the world
Behold I have woken up,
- Still lying on my
Bed my mind troubled
Me what is happening?
- The reasons for this
Heaviness of heart in
Me Is yet unclear.
- I rolled to the
Right and to the
Left at this position
- After a while, sat
I at the edge of
my palmfrond made mat
- I Tried to figure
Out what it was
The matter could be
- It was horrifying to
Discover that I was
Unable to figure out anything
- What can be happening?
No one in particular
Is being talked to
- Me and me alone
In particular is being
Addressed at this position
- Stood I to my feet,
Walked to the corner
Of the small room
- Where I used to
Put a clay lamp
To illuminate the room
- This clay is made
Like a kettle with
Oil poured in it
- At the outlet is cotton,
With part of the
Cotton dipped into oil
- The cotton through attraction
Would carry the oil
Molecules to the tip
- When the tip is
Being lighted it will
Illuminate the entire area
- The oil must have
Ran out as the
Light is now out
- Tried to peep outside
But nothing could be
Seen everywhere still dark
- Luckily the stones
For lighting is still
Where I kept them
- Dipped my hand into
The open end of
The kettle-like clay
- Wow! No oil in
There again searched for
Oil jar with my hand
- Got it removed the
Covering lid poured oil
Into the kettle-like clay
- Draw out the cotton
Hit the two stones together
At the side of the cotton
- After a while it lighted
Started glowing bit by bit
Just drawing out the oil
- Palm frond leaves are
Used as ropes being
Tied edge to edge
- This rope is tied
From an edge of the room
To the other edge
- On this rope like
Structure do I hang
All my cloths
- I can see where
My clothes are
Hanging across the room
- Brushed aside the
Overlying ones to see
The cloth I want to take
- I put it on
Took a clay pot,
Set out for the streams,
B) Going to The Stream
- As I trekked on,
My mind kept on racing
I keep thinking,
- My mind flashes back,
To the past events
Positive and negative pasts
Her love for me is
Like a gentle flowing
Water in this stream
- Soon enough I was
By the stream bank,
To fetch water
- I went to the area
Where we used to
Fetch water from
C) At The Stream
- Bend down dip my
Calabash into the stream
Started scooping the water
- With my calabash into
The clay pot until
The pot is filled up
- After filling the clay
Pot with water stood
I still by the river,
- Watching the water as
It gently moves on
Then remembered I my love,
D) Remembered My Love
- Her love for me is
Like a gentle flowing
Water in this stream
- A flowing stream is
Pure, clean and clear
Un-like stagnant river,
- Its nay like lake,
Which is not flowing
Divers things fall into it
- Those things which fell,
Into the lake remain there
Become decayed in there
- The components released by
Those decaying materials
Mix with the water components
- Soon compounds would be
Formed which would change
Lake’s chemical composition
- The toxic and injurious
Substances released would
Affect everything in the lake
- And which soon becomes
stinking, horrendous and nauseating
Are the smell from the lake
- But my love is un-like that,
She is purely-clear,
She is clear like crystal,
- She is whiter as snow,
She demonstrates God's
Uniqueness purity per excellence
- She is a joy not
Only to me but
Unto many like stream,
- My love's source never
Runs dry because my love
Allows no intruder into it,
- My love's source
Keeps springing out
Water contents for her
- My love is linked with
Her origin she is
Linked up with the sea
- As it is possible
To see the floor bed
Of stream at some corners
- So is the depth
Of my love's love
For me revealed
- As the breeze from
Stream brings me comfort,
So is my love’s breeze
Oh! The comforting love
Of my bird for me
Is beyond cold water
- As many people become
Blessed by the stream,
Many are blessed by my love
- The expression of our
Love to each other
Stimulates others love
- At these knowledge,
The burden of my
Heart flee away.
- Oh! My Jewel,
Oh! My Love
Oh! My Stream
- Oh! The flowing love
My Pearl has for me,
Is beyond description
- Oh! The comforting love
Of my bird for me
Is beyond cold water
- Oh! The blessed love
Of my one and only bird,
Is heav’nly sent
- Oh! How soothing my
Apple's arms around me,
Surpasses the best analgesic
‘Can’t do without
Her kisses for it
Keeps me alive
- As the early morning
Waters from the streams.
So is my apple
- My darling's lips
Are full of love,
Yea, unfeigned love
- Her lips are coated
With honey, Uhmn better
Than the honey comb
- My Jewel's lips
Are very good
Extremely good in kissing
- ‘Can’t do without
Her kisses for it
Keeps me alive
- With her mouth
She on daily
Basis feeds me,
- On her knees
She will be to
Welcome me to her
- My darling...My crown...
My Diadem...My Love...
My Bird...My Heart...
- My Water...My Blessings...
My Star...My Glory...
My Angel...My comfort
- God gave me you....
God gave you me...
Forever bonded ‘gether

Desires of the Lord for
"Us" in all ramifications

Promotions, awards,
Fulfillment and comforts
