Second Kiss: Unspoken Letters

By Derrick T. Laster Sr.

Second Kiss consists of ballets, poems, and expressions of my love for God. It was written to inspire the weak, lonely, as well as to strengthen the meek. We should enjoy life and what God has for us. We need to trust him and stop trying to do his job.

If we can love one another, then the world could love itself.

Hey GOD

I wanna thank you

For healing my body

And blessing my name.

You gave me strength

To open my eyes every day.

And I wanna say to you

Thank you.

Jesus I remain

Because of your holy name.

Jesus I substance

Because you took the blame

And I wanna thank you

For all that you do.

We live in your sweet salvation.

And give glory to only you

As we live the word

As we give the word,

We take on all nations

And give glory to thee

As we spread your love

To all the corners of the world.

Silence

Silence, as I never heard before

The pin drops right announcing its present

It’s my essence to occur and accumulate

That power within, so, I fall and I run

To the dark, to the heart.

I shout east, am I here to clear

Weaning in the air, for ones’ response

But silence, grips me and not to equip me.

See I have fallen, like all around me.

Into the silence, where no voice is heard

No sight is seen, no presence is felt.

So, I call. It’s me again

Keeping my all to see again

Weeping a crawl through a sea

Of them who don’t have it.

But I do, even threw the silence.

What the mind makes you do

Decisions and collisions of great multitudes

A stare of illusions when computations are in lure.

It’s just a taste of dew drops

Of what it can do.

Imagine a nation into fraction

Send a heart into devastation

Leave a culture into today

That’s a mile away and you can’t say

What the mind makes you do

Forget the things that’s most important

Realize the wise before they fade

Picture the innocent eyes behind the cage.

Jacked up emotions that can’t go away.

Leave you post dramatic

With no sense of day.

Where it takes control of the ship

Steady as it go’s

What the mind makes you do

Or did it ever let you go?

Engagement

I saw you standing there

I wondered if you are aware

That
