She rejected me....open the 6th seal!



Dedicated to "O"...not Oprah, nor Obama neither! This is about that girl who broke my heart by not going out with me! No wait, she didn't even respond to my request! See what she made me do? She made a (Christian) brotha pull out the book O' Revelation on her hiny! If you make me mad, one day I'll do the same for you!!!!!!



[I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind]
--------------------------------------------------------*The absence of coffee in my cup is the 6th seal of judgment upon a damned earth*




O*, my throat is parched
I thirst
I thirst
for you. Your eyes as dark and
your skin as smooth as roasted beans
budding from small trees...their fruit plucked from them
getting to know you was like sorting and roasting
like sifting
between memories of my life before you
and my heart now caffeinated with you. Just to hear your voice
was like a grinding and to watch you saunter was like a brewing
of my soul. my emotions so intense
so hot, dark, were transformed into pure delicious coffee
poured in two cups steaming. waiting for us to drink
...but you weren’t there
and I want to die and I don’t want to live and I wish the world was damned

Rejection, O* is an earthquake
even for those satisfied, and contented
(especially for those in sin)
it is violent quavering, spasmodic trembling, wild shaking
it is tears welling up inside me, when I close my eyes the sun turns black
like sackcloth made of goat hair
...its no longer morning....
my despair is a perpetual moaning…an endless night
and the whole moon has turned blood red
the stars in the sky fall to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree
strong winds terrorizing them
I cant breathe anymore when I think of your absence
your non-response
The sky feels like it is receding like a scroll, rolling up,
and every mountain and island is removed from its place.

You are so beautiful,
all I desired was for us to be together...
my sanity and my dignity have usurped the throne of my mind
And I see them walking away from me, talking
"Fall on us and hide us” they say
there is no coffee date established, there is no more room for dreams
only dread
"For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?"





(O*, who can stand? How can I stand when I know you don't want me? This is so embarrassing. I put myself out there for you. I risked everything, doing everything society tells me embodies true manhood. Now look at me. Im pathetic, now. Another girl another rejection. Somebody please just open up the sixth seal....and let me die.)


Revelation 6: 12-17
I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?"

Kyla Pratt you look like Isaiah 45, so fiiiine girl!




By myself I have sworn,
my mouth has uttered in all integrity
a word that will not be revoked:
Before me every knee will bow;
by me every tongue will swear
.
----------------------------------------[Kyla Pratt besides you there's no other; There is no love apart from you] -------




Kyla,
It is your nose that enraptures me
(on a face beautifully symmetrical)
and your teeth, pure and sheer
with soft toned skin, an elegant neck…dimples
to die for.
when I survey the land, there is no Beauty apart from you,
my heart’s righteous God and a Savior;
there is none but you
I never knew I could experience love so deep
to be emancipated from skepticism and the corrupt
worn desire for girls who would never satisfy
I was Ignorant carrying them about like idols of wood,
begging them to love me back
praying to gods that cannot save.

The moment I laid eyes on you I was smitten
in an instant I was wrapped around your finger
so securely
but you knew this when we first met
(my sweaty palms indicate Im a slave for you)
and foretold this long ago
who declared it from the distant past?
was it not you, the Love of my life?
Kyla in you alone are my righteousness and strength
let us spend every waking moment
every waking hour
every waking minute and second
together. Kiss me Kyla, hug me Kyla
all who have raged against me, jealous of me
will come to you and be put to shame

I cant sleep, I cant eat, I cant breathe
apart from your presence
from your warmth
my steadfastness to you is a word that will not be revoked
before you my knee will bow;
by you my tongue will swear
forever




Romans 14:9-11
For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat. It is written:
" 'As surely as I live,' says the Lord,
'every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will confess to God.' So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.

Philippians 2:8-11
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

Isaiah 45:20-24
"Gather together and come;
assemble, you fugitives from the nations.
Ignorant are those who carry about idols of wood,
who pray to gods that cannot save.

Declare what is to be, present it—
let them take counsel together.
Who foretold this long ago,
who declared it from the distant past?
Was it not I, the LORD ?
And there is no God apart from me,
a righteous God and a Savior;
there is none but me.

"Turn to me and be saved,
all you ends of the earth;
for I am God, and there is no other.

By myself I have sworn,
my mouth has uttered in all integrity
a word that will not be revoked:
Before me every knee will bow;
by me every tongue will swear.

They will say of me, 'In the LORD alone
are righteousness and strength.' "
All who have raged against him
will come to him and be put to shame.

Anna Popplewell I Love You Like Zephaniah Chapter 3, Girl



"The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing."
-------------------------------------------------[Anna Popplewell I am With You...With My Love I Will Quiet You (and Narnia)]


http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/narnia/


Anna, daughter of Zion
daughter of Jerusalem
From beyond the rivers of Cush
My love is steadfast
is drawing you
because of your humility, meekness and your trust
in my Name
baby, you are perfect for me
in my eyes you can do no wrong;
you can speak no lies,
nor can deceit be found in your mouth
only enthralling eyes
luscious lips
and rosy cheeks to kiss until I have breath no more
Let my lifelong dedication to you be a shelter
you will eat and lie down and no one will make you afraid

Sing, Anna sing!
for I am an anomaly...my love is celestial
not merely your emotions it wants to inhabit your soul
and redeem from within
my goal is to see you smile from ear to ear
to hear your laughter straight from your belly
to stare at you for hours on end
and never say a word
hold my hands
when I'm around never let yours hang limp

I am with you
I am mighty to save you
you are my delight girl, let my love quiet you
in the early afternoon let my flattering words rejoice over you
...as I rest my chin on your left shoulder...
praise and honor
glory and majesty
I will restore your fortunes, repel your enemies
supplant sorrows for appointed feasts with joy
distance you from those negative friends who rejoice in their pride
And bring you home



(I love you...Anna)

Zephaniah 3

Woe to the city of oppressors,
rebellious and defiled!
She obeys no one,
she accepts no correction.
She does not trust in the LORD,
she does not draw near to her God.

Her officials are roaring lions,
her rulers are evening wolves,
who leave nothing for the morning.

Her prophets are arrogant;
they are treacherous men.
Her priests profane the sanctuary
and do violence to the law.

The LORD within her is righteous;
he does no wrong.
Morning by morning he dispenses his justice,
and every new day he does not fail,
yet the unrighteous know no shame.

"I have cut off nations;
their strongholds are demolished.
I have left their streets deserted,
with no one passing through.
Their cities are destroyed;
no one will be left—no one at all.

I said to the city,
'Surely you will fear me
and accept correction!'
Then her dwelling would not be cut off,
nor all my punishments come upon her.
But they were still eager
to act corruptly in all they did.

Therefore wait for me," declares the LORD,
"for the day I will stand up to testify.
I have decided to assemble the nations,
to gather the kingdoms
and to pour out my wrath on them—
all my fierce anger.
The whole world will be consumed
by the fire of my jealous anger.

"Then will I purify the lips of the peoples,
that all of them may call on the name of the LORD
and serve him shoulder to shoulder.

From beyond the rivers of Cush
my worshipers, my scattered people,
will bring me offerings.

On that day you will not be put to shame
for all the wrongs you have done to me,
because I will remove from this city
those who rejoice in their pride.
Never again will you be haughty
on my holy hill.

But I will leave within you
the meek and humble,
who trust in the name of the LORD.

The remnant of Israel will do no wrong;
they will speak no lies,
nor will deceit be found in their mouths.
They will eat and lie down
and no one will make them afraid."

Sing, O Daughter of Zion;
shout aloud, O Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
O Daughter of Jerusalem!

The LORD has taken away your punishment,
he has turned back your enemy.
The LORD, the King of Israel, is with you;
never again will you fear any harm.

On that day they will say to Jerusalem,
"Do not fear, O Zion;
do not let your hands hang limp.

The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing."

"The sorrows for the appointed feasts
I will remove from you;
they are a burden and a reproach to you.

At that time I will deal
with all who oppressed you;
I will rescue the lame
and gather those who have been scattered.
I will give them praise and honor
in every land where they were put to shame.

At that time I will gather you;
at that time I will bring you home.
I will give you honor and praise
among all the peoples of the earth
when I restore your fortunes
before your very eyes,"
says the LORD.

The Calling of Elisha...the abandoning of Jennifer


* Jennifer, I am still crazy about you. I still think about you everyday. But its time for me to follow the other possibilities that have arisen....to follow Elijah. {I will never. ever. forget you}

---------------------------------The LORD said to him, "Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram. Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet.
(1 Kings 19:15)
-------The Calling of Elisha – This is the End. (Goodbye Jennifer)...the thoughts of Elisha before leaving to follow Elijah]





Jennifer, loving you
thinking about you endlessly
is plowing with many yoke of oxen on fertile ground
green grass, moist dirt, flanked by virile tress branches full of leaves
anticipatory for the seeds of hope sown
deep
deep
deep in my soul. I want us to be together so bad
and yield a bounteous harvest
and bring it back to my house to cook, to eat, to relax
in blissful contentment...watching you sleep as
the sunrise uncovers the evening's best kept secret: your beautiful face
your lips, your nose, your dark hair soft to
touch
my desire for you is too strong for just 22 oxen full of zeal
Everyday anxiety forces me to drive the 12th pair

But your boyfriend is the waning post of prophet for Elijah
necessitating a new direction, steering me down an unknown road
away from your bittersweet loyalty to him...
for it is Elijah's cloak tossed
enfolding my shoulders urging me to press on
and chase after the winds of destiny (my cloak billowing)
to a people who need me beckoning
soliciting miracles in a depraved land
even if I keep crying at night because you aren't there with me
and my confidence is swept away in a flaming chariot in a whirlwind

Jennifer let me hold the plow one last time
let me dwell upon your green eyes one last time
before I slaughter my desire and yearning
(all 12 pairs)
and set all my memories of our friendship ablaze
I don’t want to till the ground anymore
I just want to sit with my friends and family while I mourn for you
eating one last time



(I don't know you very well, but I could've loved you more than anyone Ive ever loved Jennifer. You had that potential. I will miss you dearly, but obviously Jesus (Elijiah) has other plans for me. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the Name of the Lord. Amen.)




The Call of Elisha /1 Kings 19:19-21
So Elijah went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen, and he himself was driving the twelfth pair. Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak around him. Elisha then left his oxen and ran after Elijah. "Let me kiss my father and mother good-by," he said, "and then I will come with you." "Go back," Elijah replied. "What have I done to you?" So Elisha left him and went back. He took his yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow Elijah and became his attendant.


------------Underoath – To Whom It May Concern (Lyrics)-----------

So hold your head up high and know
Its not the end of the road
Walk down this beaten path before
You pack your things and head home
At the end of the road
You'll find what you've been longing for
You'll find what you've been longing for

I know 'cause my feet have the scares to show
I was lost with vague direction and no place to call home

It's time for you to press on
This is not your war
Set your sights, set your sights to North, press on, press on
This is not your escape
This is not your escape
Wash away what they thought of you and press on, press on

Cause in this place were all as good as dead
End cycle
Cause in this place were all as good as dead
End cycle press on

Behind the mask you'll find yourself alone
Its not the end of the road, the end of the road for you

At the end of the road
You'll find what you've been longing for

At the end of the road
You'll find what you've been longing for

At the end of the road
You'll find what you've been longing for

At the end of the road
You'll find what you've been longing for

Jennifer, oh Jennifer (Katie Couric interview)


Katie Couric: Tony, who is Jennifer, the one you constantly write about and harp on?

Tony: She is a the culmintaion of all my dreams since childhood. She is wonderful, that's who she is. A goddess. Simply put, she is Venus incarnate, pure and unadulterated.

Katie Couric: ...ahem...wow! I didnt expect you to be so dramatic there...I guess you prefer not to divulge too much information about her identity....anyway, tell me what does she look like?

Tony: She looks like the ocean tide coming in at night under the full moon.

Katie Couric [staring blankly]: what?

Tony: She looks like the green grass billowing in a late spring wind.

Katie Couric: ....ooooookaaaaaayyyy........ well I tell you what, before I let you go (off into your own little world) I assuredly must ask why you dont let her be, knowing fully well she is already dating someone now?

Tony: Katie, I care about her deeply.

Katie Couric: But you dont know her, you barely can tell me who she is or what she looks like!

Tony: ....you're right. I have to let her go. I have to let her memory burn in the fires of yesterday and step on the ashes while never looking back...

Katie Couric: Woah! Hold on a minute...I didnt say all that. Just find someone else. Surely there are plenty of lovely girls out there you can sort through to find another fatal attraction, I mean a suitable partner?

Tony: .....I guess. Mariah! Im home!

Katie Couric: I believe she's taken.

Tony: ...ish! I mean shoot! Man this finding true love thing could take forever!

Caged Inside Eden


--------------------------> Eve's Thoughts On The Words Of The Serpent, Cunning <-------------
...So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate
-----------------------------------[I am Eve, and I want all that's forbidden to me. I want to fornicate with every hot woman I see I want to get drunk I want to fight jerks. I want to not care (anymore)]





I do not want to hold back
(anymore)
when I see your body slither, enchantingly
when you whip your fork tongue out your mouth
and suggest gratuitous rebellions
and I close my eyes and see my wildest fantasies
actualize
spurning boundaries, restrictions, and limitations on freedoms
inherited and lies from the Father
...caged inside Eden...
who created us bridled from the unknown
under the guise of "love"
but I think my heart knows best

The wind blows behind me and I hear it whisper
"sweet infidelities:"
Limitless knowledge, hedonistic impulses, eternal life
with no consequences
any fruit from any tree from any garden across
any river
and if I want to kill a lion let me kill a lion
and eat it
or sew leaves and finally cover my breasts
from my husband's stark gaze
Let me reach out and clasp this fruit
you dangle in my face directly
it is the key to unlock dark secrets in my heart harbored

Like you, let me for once shed my skin
And see the world anew
paradigms will shift and good will become evil
evil will become good
when I open my eyes, my name will be called "liberation"
...I will be my own rib


(under the new world order)




Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?" And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.'" Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate (Genesis 3:1-6)

But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. (2 Corinthians 11:3)
