Faith works

Intrigued by God's presence
I received it in the Spirit
I am the product of Art
My heart is full art
My mind is pregnant with ideas
My mouth is full of words
My eyes are full of life
I'm dancing in the mist
I'm in the midst of my success
I'm full of love and wisdom
I'm shouting for God's kingdom
I don't care how long it will take me
But I want the world to know Him more
I am more than a conqueror He said
I am bigger than what the world concludes
I'm the work of Art and God is an Artist
Art is what defines me and it makes more sense

I'm living in the world of possibilities,
Where talented people live in unfortunate places,
Where their talent is not embraced, yet it's intense
Where oppression is even received from the oppressed,
Where shouting is made redundant,
Where their voices are no longer present,
It is not by their own choices,
but they are forced by circumstances,

If it wasn't for my faith I wouldn't have achieve much in my life.
I had so much faith that I saw things moving before they did.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for,
Substances are valid, solid and tangible,
But without faith you can never live in your future before you are there
You can never be happy before you see what you are happy for
Faith is the evidence of things not seen,
Faith is the conviction, proof and revelation of the future,
Faith is telling an orphan that everything is going to be alright
Faith is talking to a burning unconsumed bush
Faith is sacrificing your only son for God
Faith is leaving your home for a new home
Faith is smiling and laughing when there is no money or food,
Faith is landing overseas with only a piece of paper on your hand
Faith is trusting a stranger more than your brother/sister
Faith is having a meeting with the government regardless of your status
Faith is shaking hands with millionaires with no money in the bank
Faith is to see life after death, wealth in debt

I'm inspired by people who makes something out of nothing
I'm not inspired by rich people who inherited their wealth
I'm inspired by people with no health but lot of faith
I'm inspired by people with love for their enemies
I'm inspired by people with less to give but lot to offer
I'm inspired by people who travel the world to find their true identity
I'm inspired by people who through themselves in the fire to rescue others
I'm inspired by people who have nothing but full of worship
I'm inspired by people full of faith in other people

I've seen so many poor and rich people
Some neighbors some segregated from others
Some oppressed by separation of powers
Some in the parliaments and some in shacks
I've tried everything else to discover that
Faith works

My Heart Captured You

I saw your smile,
I saw you move,
I saw you deeper,
I saw more of you,
When I talked to you,

I saw the real you,

I went beyond flesh,
Forgot about your looks,
I saw something fresh,
Forgot about you hips,
Forgot about your lips,
I thought of a kiss,
A kiss for your soul,
That touches your heart,

I lost myself in you,
I saw nothing else but you,
But when I left you behind,
Memories were like a photograph in my mind,
I couldn't let go of you, or even admit that I've lost you,
How could I lose you without winning you from the start!?
I'm craving for the inner you,  
A taste of your tongue,
A glimpse of your intense look,
A feel of your body,
Your body was so fortunate for such an exposure,
Your gorgeousness, your uniqueness, your gentleness,
Your kindness, you're heaven on earth,
I worship the ground that you are walking on,
If anybody asked me to describe God I'll describe you,
You are the image of God, with you my life is complete,
Your spirit catalyzes my strength and courage,
Your smile makes my planet rotate,

I want nobody else to be my soulmate but you,
I'm craving for your love,
My pen can't let my paper go,
My poem can't let my partner go,
My mind can't let you go,
My body can't let your body go,
My soul can't let your soul go,
My heart wouldn't let you go,
My voice can't let your melody go,
My heart couldn't love anybody else but you,
My heart saw you,
My heart loved you,
