let it play......

There songs that you can listen to all day and there are songs that you just wanna sing along to but you... you are that annoying little catchy song that keeps playing over and over in my head that makes me smile when i get to the chorus and whistle at the most inopportune time when i get to the bridge then i keep humming long  after its done. You are the song that i really hate but will go absolutely crazy if i forget it until i remember. You are that one song, that gets my eyes all misty when i'm happy ... that makes me smile when i'm sad. You are the song that i swear was written just for me. You are the song that was written about me, the song that sees the pain in my eyes when im smiling and the shame in my smile when im lying. You are the song that knows the answers to my questions like how many stars are there in the sky or how many grains of sand in the desert. You are the song that says to me hush, grains of sands are vast... but there is one grain you have to know-that of truth and there is only one truth you need to know - that there is only one star, the one that shines so brightly in your soul... the one that sparkles in your eyes or when you smile. You are that song that teaches about the sacredness of faith and how to get it when its lost. You are the song the birds sing in the morning when i wake up and my soft lullaby when i sleep. You are the song that whispers like a lover, comforts like a mother and brings peace like no other. You are that song when the harvest is bounty and the song when the barns are empty. You are the song that knows all my bads but celebrates my good. You are the song i respect, am sometimes afraid of. You are the song i trust. You are the song thats always playing, no matter how noisy it gets in my head, you are that one reliable song. You are the song that don't care how many bars i miss when i try to sing along, You are the song that actually goes with my discord. You are my song...

We follow your lead - Cheryl James (Salt)

A new year
  ill put on new airs
And i dont mean ill sit taller on my high horse
 just that i won't judge, wont snub my nose
Ill only give the best of me to share
Ill make all my my hay when there's still sun to spare
Put God first and never forget to pray
with every new situation, no matter what ill tune up the praise
Ill walk in God's wisdom and be brave
Be a living sacrifice, hopefully through me another will be saved
.... So help me God...

If you were wondering, in that poem you will find my new year's resolutions. I mean i would love to have said, i wanna finish my college degree, get a job, get a life, get these jimmy choos that have been haunting my dreams, get a smart phone, find love e.t.c. I want all these things but i know that 'seek yea first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you'


Ok, enough about me. Fellas i wanna give you a resolution or at least food for thought that you must thenaply to thyself and make a resolution. You will find it in the next poem by Cheryl James (Salt of salt and pepper)


We follow your lead

To be able to feed the wanting in your soul
 replace the essence that once made you whole
Erase the residue of degradation,
 remove the stench of humiliation
 and motivate you to a level higher than self preservation
  WE FOLLOW YOUR LEAD

Submit. You think we can’t? It would be our pleasure!
Sinking to depths that you can not measure
Naked, Exposed lips, hips, butt and thighs
Longing to satisfy the lust in your eyes
 WE FLLOW YOUR LEAD

Can this body heal your soul
Heat a heart waxed cold?
Release you from an enemy’s stronghold
We twirl our sex batons and video flesh parades
Trying to complete you with these desperate sexcapades
  WE FOLLOW YOUR LEAD

We want to respect you
Never want to hurt you
We’ll give you our bodies but we’d rather give you our virtue
When everyone deserts you we are always there
We’ll bend over backwards to demonstrate how we care
   Coz WE FOLLOW YOUR LEAD

If we are chickens, hoes, sluts and skanks
Its because you abused your rank
Hated your own flesh and abandoned your seed
God made Adam before He made Eve
  WE FOLLOW YOUR LEAD

When will you understand it’s the man that sets the tone
When you’re not around we smell your cologne and hope
We are one believe       
We bleed when you bleed
Respect yourself by respecting me
Set us free
  WE FOLLOW YOUR LEAD



Wave our hands and hip hop hoes
And answer to your tsss animal calls
Throw our dreams away trying to break down your walls
Chasing after waterfalls
   WE FOLLOW YOUR LEAD

You lie to our daughters and kill our sons
Glorify violence solve issues with guns
We are your mothers, your sisters, your daughters, your friends
We need you to be men
   WE FOLLOW YOUR LEAD

This is a men’s world, no doubt. It’s true
So the shape that it’s in must belong to you, coz
   WE FOLLOW YOUR LEAD

Its a heavy load to bear and an awesome battle to fight
But His yoke is easy and His burden is light
Put on a full armour of god
Pick up your sword and take heed
Let love be your guide
   WE FOLLOW YOUR LEAD
