I am Available

Hey y'all,
What's good? First of all, I wanna say a big thank you to all who have shown me support. Thank you so much I really do appreciate it. 

The Poetically Speaking Mixtape still drops May 8th, which happens to be my birthday. I am so excited and I hope you are blessed by the poems you will be hearing there... Also, I am available to do shows, album skits, concerts whatever... and I am willing to do it for free... I just wanna spread the message of change across the world. The essence of Poetically Speaking is to speak till there is a change from our spiritual life to our nation. There has to be a change starting from you and I. The poems are a reflection of my struggles, my fears and my hope for change... I cannot wait for the release...

Once again, thanks for the support and keep praying for me... We gotta win anyway we know how...

Trotcha!!!

Vision of Love

I had a vision of love... it was an amazing vision. He was there, with arms wide open, calling me... It was crazy... Here I am a young, average, random dude... Undeserving of His love and He reaches out to me...
Love really is strong, for how can a Holy God, love someone like me...

I had a dream last night,
There I saw Him again,He told me that He was working all things together for my good and that he had it all covered...can you imagine that? He said that His love for me will never end and that He has called me for greater thing... very funny... You should have seen the way I laughed, Me? Greater things... I doubt He knows about my low self esteem and insecurity issues... Funny thing is He says he does. How did he even know I was thinking what I was thinking sef? This man...

I had an illusion of reality... It had to be an illusion... I saw Him die for my sake... Who does that? I don't even love Him the way He loves me so why die? who does that? It had to be an illusion. People were beating Him like a criminal, He was spat on and they gambled with His clothes... for me... I did not send Him message... I no send am...but e be like say the Guy send me sha... Abi? No... It has to be an illusion of reality... I should see a therapist cause it is like I am imagining things... Yes oh...
Thing is, He came near and carried me and said... This is no illusion, is has real as the air you breathe... WOW!!! There is most definitely no greater love than this...

This is why like TY Bello, I will love this Man for the rest of my life... For Him to do all that He did for me, He has to consider me special, the apple of His eyes...
This love is all I need... it is all I want...

Thank you Jesus for this vision of love

Me & You

Like Out of Eden, I have been looking for love,
In wrong places, in "right" places, in every place.
Looking for someone to satisfy,
The longings I feel inside.
Truth is, friends come and friends go,
Lovers stay as long as the feelings last.
My endless search has brought me pain and reproach,
A broken heart, a crushed soul and a wounded spirit.
Oh, the nights I stayed up waiting for that call,
Or the times I sat thinking, maybe, just maybe,
Trying to hide my insecurities in a lovers touch,
Or building my insecurities on lust not love.
(It's crazy man)
I had to realize no one can love me like You do,
Love starts, ends and finds existence in You (You are Love).
This love doesn't break hearts but molds them,
It does not crush the soul but it is the ultimate soul food,
It doesn't wound the spirit but gives a new Spirit, a Comforter,
It took a while but this I know for sure

After searching far and wide,
After taking fruitless strides,
One thing that remains constant,
Is that it is just me & You.
After all has been said and done,
Any everyone else is gone,
One thing I know for sure,
It is just me & You (in this world).

Anani

An amazing poem inspired by my stage name, Anani. Be blessed. Also, watch out for my mixtape coming out May 8th... The name is Poetically Speaking and it is Spoken Word meets hip hop...Enjoy the poem.

Anani, my Rock and Refuge,
He is my very present hep in time of need.
Anani, my rock and fortress,
The Lord who is, who was and is to come.
Many times I could not sleep at night,
But His name is a strong tower.
Many foes try to break my flight,
But we overcome via His awesome power.
He watches my path everyday,
He's my Shield and Glory, the lifter of my head.
Anani, Yahweh is a covering,
The only covering that cannot be uncovered.
Anani, Yahweh is a covering,
His everlasting arms are under me.
Anani, Yahweh is a covering,
He is the One who is mighty to save.
Anani, Yahweh is a covering,
The One who answers when i call.
Anani, Yahweh is a covering,
The only true rest for my soul.
When I am weary and heavy burdened,
When I am sad and gloomy,
When the storms of life are drowning me,
One thing I know for sure,
Anani, Yahweh is a covering
