Highest Above Heights

To the highest order

In his supreme supremacy,

To the king above all kings

The one on the throne of mercy,

To the holy of holiest

Whose glory never fades.

He who proposed every purpose

Purposefully to redeem us,

To live as sons and daughters in his kingdom.

To the authoritative authority,

Immeasurable and unquestionable,

To the dominating dominion,

Unchanging and immovable,

The existing existence before any existing being,

The end who remains even when all ceases to be,

To him be glory undefiled forever.

Amen.

The Language Of Love

There’s a language I’ve found,

It’s that of Love.

One language to govern a world like ours,

Where no hatred is found.

Its sentence is structured on honesty and truth,

It expresses more than it speaks.

There’s no place for hurt to lay,

Its dictionary has no shame or pain,

But a language, given by grace.

There’s a place for unity, even in diversity,

Where no separation lies.

Every word spoken is a spring of life,

Thus, life dwells in its origin,

Even on a sick bed, the language can still revive a soul,

Hope is the verbal skill,

Which brings us to the happiest future.

Obedience does not mean to compromise,

It means understanding.

Forgiveness does not mean foolishness,

It means wisdom and in fact, forgiveness is a must.

Pride has never been heard,

Neither is there a place for fear in the heart.

Its dialect is Truth, where lying can’t be found.

For every mistake, there’s always a second chance.

In fact, a third and even a millionth chance,

That’s why forgiveness is its accent.

Its voice is all about giving more than taking,

Yet it takes without greed.

In every nonsense, it utilizes the sense to build an empire,

Whose king is crowned peace.

Its intonation is to listen more than speaking,

That’s why expression communicates faster and that’s what matters.

Optimism is; of course, a noun,

Where pessimism never dwells in its lexicon.

Here is the language I’ve found,

The language of love.

A Fairy Tale Untold

A night wish- never to end,

As they sat on a cliff’s edge,

They spoke in words of future past,

Under the moonlight beauty smile.

They were linked in an eternal bond.

They wished the dawn would never come,

As the magical night glowed in their favour.

Their feelings were sure and real,

Nevertheless, the night’s fate is short.

Morn crept in slowly,

As the sun rose from her sleep,

Time became the reaper,

Drawing them apart.

Feelings real and sure;

There ought to be more,

It’s morn and time is no more,

Yet amidst the storm,

They decided never to give up.

If by chance or in a million years to come,

The same moon chooses to smile,

Dancing to their tune once again.

Around a bonfire camp,

The story would be told

Like a regular fairy tale of old;

Of a
