I'LL CALL YOU MY LOVE

I’LL CALL YOU MY LOVE

I’ll call you my love

Not because I loved you

But because I love you

I’ll call you my love

Not because my eyes chose you

But because my heart called you

In you I find myself

Without you I’m a snail without a shell

In your absence I’m a ship without a captain

A stream meandering in the Kalahari

And a rose thriving in the midst of wild thorns

I feel your vibrations in your touch

I taste nectar on your lips

Chills ravage my spine when you smile

My soul drowns in joy when we kiss

I melt when you whisper in my ears

I become a ‘Sampson’ when you hold me close

Goose pimples become my tenants

When your body rubs against mine

I feel your heartbeat from afar

Your silky voice intoxicates my emotions

I could sing of your love

It’s the chorus of birds at dawn

I call you Vanilla

I call you Chocolita

I call you Strawberry

I call you Venus

Even Candy

But aside all these pretty names

I’ll always call you my love
And so shall you eternally remain

LABOUR ON

LABOUR ON

The vision looks light years asunder

The mission looks impossible

Time flies with the cheetah

Opportunities fade with the wind

Frustrations never say die

Bolts and nuts appear foes

But no matter what or how it seems,

Labour on!

Labour on, mankind!

Labour on!

Sweat persistently glues to the skin

Hunger drills the tummy awfully

Thirst thrust the throat like a dagger

The inner man just doesn't click

Energy levels drown at sea

Words of encouragement sound nonsensical

Assistance slumbers when we call

But however thick or thin it seems

We must labour on

Labour on, mankind!

Labour on!

Labour on, mason!

When projects never appear

Labour on, civil servant!

When your take-home pay doesn’t seem to take you home

Labour on, student!

When grades ‘C and D’ become your identity

Labour on, graduate!

When your countless job applications yield no call up

Labour on, lady!

When no love proposal comes your way

Labour on, husband!

When all your skills in bed trigger no foetus

Labour on, pastor!

When coins conquer your offering bowl

Labour on!

Labour on, son of man!

Labour on, daughter of Eve!

Labour on!

Labour on!

For as the tree always whispers to the seed below,

For before it gets better

It definitely has to get worse!

Labour on!

HALLELUJAH

HALLELUJAH

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!!!

You planted my feet on higher pedestals

Hallelujah!

You paid the debt you never owed

Hallelujah!

You traded my garment of shame for that of fame

Hallelujah!

You swapped my embarrassment of disgrace

For an embarrassment of grace

Hallelujah!

You elevated me from the grave,

And prepared me for a conclave

Hallelujah!

You swallowed my headaches

And brought upon me boundless blessing aches

Hallelujah!

You forgave me even before I cried to You

Hallelujah!

You made my foe live to bow before my toes

Hallelujah!

You made me a giant in the midst of men

Hallelujah!

You made my cup run over

Hallelujah!

You illuminated my darkest days,

And warmed my chilly nights

Hallelujah!

You banished my sorrows,

And imposed endless joy

Hallelujah!

You hasten to my rescue even before I fall

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!!!

You’re the solid rock of old

Hallelujah!

The invincible victor

Hallelujah!

He that neither blinkers nor slumbers

Hallelujah!

The unchangeable one

Hallelujah!

The mighty One with countless attributes

Hallelujah!

The oasis in the midst of deserts

Hallelujah!

Our one-time health insurance premium

Hallelujah!

The protocol-breaker

Hallelujah!

The antivirus that needs no update

Hallelujah!

The current solution to future challenges

Hallelujah!

The mega pillar that hangs the world

Hallelujah!

The one never seen, yet incomparable

Hallelujah!

The marksman who never misses His target

Hallelujah!

He that knows the omega from the alpha

Hallelujah!

He that makes virgins conceive without insertion

Hallelujah!

He that makes hungry lions lose appetite for meat

Hallelujah!

The santaclaus that knows no season

Hallelujah!

He whose brakes fail when He blesses

Hallelujah!

His mercies are in multiples of infinity

Hallelujah!

His grace needs no container

Hallelujah!

He’s the feeding bottle that needs no replenishment

Hallelujah!

The unquenchable fire without source

Hallelujah!

He whose fury comes at a snail’s pace,

Yet, blesses at a cheetah’s pace.

Hallelujah!

His word is AMEN

Hallelujah!

He that makes mankind sing,

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!!!
