A Glimpse Of God

A glimpse of God

Sharon Maria Moemise

I saw God when I woke up this morning as I stretched, my body with sleep, still tight When I felt a drop of water on my face

when I thanked Him for saving me last night

I saw Him as I waved to a familiar face, when I bade good morning to a stranger When I ruffled the hair of a little child,

who knew all about life's dangers

I caught a glimpse of God today as I felt the chill of winter on my skin As I donned on clothes to warm my body

and wonder at the well-being of my kin

I saw a glimpse of Him morning, noon and night as I looked at my child, breathless...flushed and I told him about this ' Great

who created us in His image, slowly, never rushed

I saw God as I sat down, writing this verse

When He gave me the words and made me to be a mouthpiece of His existence, His wonders, His love...I saw God and He saw me!

A Letter To God

A letter to God

By Sharon Maria Moemise

Dear God, please accept my now crumpled letter Wherein I ask Thee for a life that is so much better from the one I've been tossed into for far too long

where all that is good and right is but sold for a song

I have a few questions for thee as well dear Lord

Which I hope will make me wiser, if a response I afford Why, dear Lord, do innocent babies bear the horrible brunt of the blows adults throw when it is thee they do affront?

Why, dear God, do people get away with heinous crime and satan enter the lives of the young at the promise of a dime Where the weak suffer and the stronger only get stronger and make the believers in God have doubt in their Redeemer?

Dear Lord our God, I thank You, for another year to my life

Allowing me to embrace all toward which I strive For bestowing possibilities and chances galore

and making my view on life better than before

I'm grateful, Lord, to feel heavy rain on my dry skin

For hearing my payers as I beg forgiveness for my sins And have the rays of Summer's heat beat upon me From thy forever faithful servant, and true I always be.

As I Lay

As I lay

By Maria Sharon Moemise

The signs of time edged on my face the rivers of sorrows leaving my being As I lay in state, awaiting oblivion

the stars above to erase my suffering

Prayers ringing for my soul to rest

Tears dripping, memories flowing A black cloud turning to white light, beckoning, whispering my name

I'm ready, I relent and loose the fight

Silence... No it's Angel's song

I float like a dry leave on a cloud, arms stretched, awaiting acceptance I'm on my final journey to deliverance

A tribute to one who fought and lost

My heart is still, my soul set free

As I lay in Glory, I hear you cry

I leave you with a love that will never die.

Babes In Arms

Babes in Arms.

By Sharon Maria Moemise

If you were just a little child In a world resembling the wild where your parents are the beasts

huge fangs awaiting, you as their feast

If you were that sleepy little one

Awoken by the sound of a blazing gun

Waking to violent prods and painful poking

Not your mommy's loving, gentle stroking

If you were just that little babe

What would be your best escape when home has become your torture cell and the rest of humanity gone straight to hell?

If you were that sweet little thing

Whose existence, happiness should bring Would you be sturdy against forces of evil when, instead, you are served up as soup for the devil?

If you were that little child

Whose lifeless little body found in the wild

Ravaged by the same humans, who pretend to mourn Would you even have wanted to be born?

Broken

Broken

By Maria Sharon Moemise

For every word I spake he criticized and mocked

I learnt a new one to prove that I rocked

For every blow that he struck across my face

I felt worthless and got thrown in a dark place

With every step I took to move toward the light

I had my legs kicked from under me so I don't take flight Every drop of tear I spilled in pain rocked me to the core

while he pushed me, mocked me and broke me some more

I crawled into my dark world where I dreamt of light

I dreamt of surrendering to sounds and sights of night Yearning to just give in to the constant drumming in my head, where his fists pounded endlessly, leaving only dark dread.

I took what I thought was an easy way out the empty pill bottle, alcohol and me floating on a cloud of misery, hopelessness and lots of self hate for the pathetic life I held onto merely through fate.

Eye In The Sky

Eye in the sky

Sharon Maria Moemise

Witness to the days of slavery and segregation

To where nations gathered, begging to be heard

Seeing the tears from our planet's lamentation

For wrongs that won't be righted on dear mother earth

Bloated babies, parents bemoaning their demise

Fat cats watching, rolling in ill-begotten wealth

Mothers weeping, young girls' deflowered, despised

By monsters who sow the seeds of disease and death

Gun- toting tots trained to maim and murder their own Starvation and death feeling like the only way out of a world owned by thugs where devil seed is sown

While feasting on drugs, murder and mayhem

While I look around at the destruction of Gods creations

Plundering and damage caused by human invention

I yearn for a moment's indulgence of heaven's purity

Without being burdened by thoughts of life's insecurities

Eye in the sky looking but hardly seeing the sufferings of babies born in the streets, mothers begging for a place To lay their heads and to ease their children's crying

shouting in agony, weeping in mourning for the human race

Maria Sharon Moemise

Feeling You

Feeling you

Sharon Maria Moemise

Your feminine scent... sheer intoxication Tresses of your dreadlocks caressing my every being. The shape of your lips yearning to be kissed I rise to the sweet sound of your lusty moans I'm trapped within a thick whirl of desire.

You give of yourself with reckless abandon Ever yielding, wanting...

Imprisoning me within your crevice Enslaving my being to your lustful demands Moulding my senses within the contours of you Leaving me breathless, Thirsting for many more cups

of your sensuous delight

Maria Sharon Moemise

Forever

Clouds and skies, moon and stars

Separation that stretches further than Mars

No ocean wider, no mountain higher

Than the burning in my heart, like fire

I've searched the universe for one like you

Through fields and valleys and rivers too

Been to the north and south, east and west,

Heaven as a bet, is still the best

For me to love you, makes no sense to those who don't understand the essence of a love so deep, it can surpass 'till death us do part' and all that was

No love as lasting as yours and mine, from way back when has crossed this line Where not even death can play a part

in ripping you completely from my heart

Years have gone since you left my life; it cut through my soul like a heated knife I made a promise to myself while I cried

That e'en though you're gone, our love never died.

Giving Up

Giving up

By Sharon Maria Moemise

Feeling the cold, hard steel betwixt my fingers the smell of cordite in the air lingers I close my eyes, shutting them tight Should I? Could I? Who wins this fight?

Why does pain feel so at home in my life

Muddling my senses, cutting like a knife,

Always on the doorstep of my sanity

Fighting to remove all traces of humanity

I try to remember the cause of my breakdown

I wrestle my thoughts from a seed already sown

Is it worth it to cut my life's memories so short

My existence, my soul, threatening to abort

I feel the cold, hard steel betwixt my fingers

The smell of cordite in the air lingers I close my eyes against the glare of the sun

then unwind my fingers to toss away the gun

Maria Sharon Moemise

Gone

Gone

To Doc.

By Sharon Moemise

I searched through sheaves of paper

But found nought

I searched amongst the non existents

Cos so I thought

I looked left then right then searched all around

But I saw none

I found the notice in a small paragraph, saying That you were gone.

My heart sank to my lowest point

How I miss you

I was searching so long just to let u know

That I love you

The time I wasted can never be gained

So I'll let you be

Be at peace wherever you may have gone

Just please remember me

Maria Sharon Moemise

Higher Up

Higher up

Sharon Maria Moemise

The sob you hear escaping my lips

The tears you see dripping down my face

Tells of a passion so hot I couldn't breathe Feel my body writhing in your tight embrace.

You lace your fingers through mine in ecstasy

Watching me, caressing my soul with your gaze

Passion-scented sweat beads, glistening on your body

Bathing me in a whirl of sensual animalistic release

You lather my body with hot searing kisses

Your tongue traces a path to eternity

I cling to you with insane ecstasy

Wild moans escape from deep within me

You whisper words of love in my ear

Making my soul soar high up and back

A guttural cry escapes from deep within you

As you flatten my softness under all your strength

From an earth-shattering explosion of flesh against flesh

To the faltering tempo of moans and groans

You take control of my quivering, love soaked being

And thrust my soul to ultimate heights I've never seen

Maria Sharon Moemise

Hopeless

Hopeless

Sharon Maria Moemise

I was borne to live and to spread the love

Yet the life and the love got thrown right back

I got bored and grew sick and tired thereof

So I turned to the streets to live on booze and crack

I soon found myself swimming down a pool of despair

I never looked back, and got pushed into deeper mayhem

Every move I made, every turn I took, I had my life laid bare

I ran a lonely race against time and life, against all of them

My flesh willed me toward healing, yet my spirit said nay

I wander around, aimlessly scrambling in hope of a new fix Not a care for anything or anyone, till night turns to day.

Lying in the street gutter, discarded like a dusty pile of bricks

When love is out of reach and life's reach even further

When all I have to show of myself is a picture of dejection

I reached out, got kicked out, and wonder why I even bother

Now I'm broken, spat out, a statistic of the universe's rejection

Maria Sharon Moemise

Hurts Real Bad

Hurts real bad

Sharon Maria Moemise

When your eyes followed her every move

I held my head high, pretend I don't see

I kiss your sweet lips, but you're very aloof

I'm numb, yet in pain. You have to agree

That it's so sad

You hurt me real bad

As I live and breathe I don't know why I beg you, never nag you, yet I let you trample my soul, obliterate my life and I cry

I cry for myself, cos one thing is true

All this is so sad

And it hurts real bad

Where you bruised my face, it's easy to hide

But my broken soul just ain't so simple

I was thrown from up high to the wrong side

'Twas my soul you chose to trample That's really so sad Cos it hurts real bad.

I never fought back, never attempt to defend

'cos I know that all I did was to no avail

Therefore, I give up, I completely relent

And I finally accept that it is you that failed

And that it's really so sad

That you hurt us so bad

Maria Sharon Moemise

I Am

I am

Sharon Maria Moemise

A sample of nature's wonder

Blemished by earth's anger Pure of heart, without regrets For that what I seek, I shall beget.

I'm a child, spawn of earthly nature,

Heavenly designed, God's creature

No care for scars, lines...life's directions

In His image He made us... no imperfections

Possibilities, chance or abilities Are some of our time's realities holding onto dreams freely begotten Pain, hurt, past fears forever be forgotten

I am who I was made to be

Daughter, mother, sister and me

Upon whom God bestowed many bessings

Of love, peace, and life's lessons

I am, in my eyes, queen of my humble throne mistress of my mere existence, ever alone I am, I declare, no paragon of virtue But I am all woman, and that is true.

Maria Sharon Moemise

I Didn't Know

I didn't know

Sharon M Moemise

When I was a girl filled with hate

And then became a woman, wiser

When my way of life involved fate

I'd be bound to a womanizer

When I dreamt of love and wealth

And came so close to both

I'd have to struggle with my health

And lose the fight almost

When I gave life to a healthy son

That the world would start to shine

My little child to be the only one

My baby, my heart, my lifeline

That when life starts to take its toll

I'd remember the girl filled with hate

I didn't know that I could have had it all But now I'm on my own, my life, my fate.

Maria Sharon Moemise

I Live

I live

Sharon Maria Moemise

For a greater tomorrow

For a deeper love For a brighter existence

I live...

Never have I met you

Or ever even seen you

Touched my soft lips to yours

For that day, I live

The tap-tapping in my heart Bears testimony to feeling That whatever light may bring...

I live.

For live's pleasures and pain

It's Losses and gain

Every second's sunshine or rain

I live..

For yesterday, today and tomorrow

For now, never and forever

For joy, peace and sorrow

For worse or for better I live.

Maria Sharon Moemise

I Will Always Be
