SHE'S JUST LIKE A DREAM

Inspired by The Cure’s

“Just Like Heaven”

by Tuese C. Ahkiong

July 8, 2012

She’s just like heaven

Her presence divine

I’m trembling in awe

And my heart, I find

Beating and breathing her name

Often, upon my lips

I scream, She’s just like a dream

So unreal, Before me

Revealed, An angel

Within my arms

And she’s asking me

To cover her in my charms

Is this the gal I’ve always wished for?

Am I dreaming?

If so, Lord, asleep forever let me be

in her sweet love, dancing with me

enjoying her smile, her laugh,

Her arms around my neck,

Her kisses on my heart

That make me shine

A warm glow, that lets me know 
And definitely shows that

She’s in love with me

Run away with me? she said

I’m in love with you!

I promise you, she said

All my kisses

And all my tomorrows!

But this man is risking the edge

Or a life of sorrow.

For not taking her hand along the sand

But leaving it for another man?

With hesitating thoughts running through my head

My distant answer, she easily read

And so my questions fly  

Why so slow to go?

WHAT does this really show?

Am I really seeing with open eyes?

I hope my vision ain’t playin’ a trick

That morning light will wake me sick

To a dizzy day twist and spin

And remind me

That I have been asleep dreaming, again

So, before me the raging sea of blues

Without you

Just your memory, drowned

Deep down, inside of me

Not a day passes do my thoughts

Not hold her

I’m gripped in this strange way she still touches me

The sea of love has stolen her far away

And how I long for those sweet yesterdays

But lonely and lost be i

At times, I just, have to, sigh?

Never again to gaze upon the soft beauty of her face

Only memories leave the trace

Of heaven

She’s just like a dream

THAT’S LOVE (STUPID IN LOVE) by Tuese Ahkiong

THAT’S LOVE (STUPID IN LOVE)

By Tuese Ahkiong

It’s about love

That thing that poets write of…

That thing that changes your life,

Or better yet, 
Gives you life.

That thing that makes your heart sing,

Tingly feelings it brings.

Just the thought of your special treasure,

Gives the most incredible pleasure.

It injects a natural narcotic high

Gives you the ummms…

As you breathe a happy sigh.

Mooshie, Corny, sappy talk,

Starry eyes and drunken walk.

Silly words come off your lips

Honey Bunny,

Coochie Coo,

Baby Girl,

Big Daddy,

You’re my world.

But that’s not all,

It makes you dumb,

You say, “Two plus four, equals one.”

Gaga thinking blinds you to see,

That you make stupid decisions,

Like “Drinks are on me!”

You also go crazy,

Doing things you never thought you

Would or could or should.

Rollercoaster rides

Crazy highs.

Love makes you into an athlete:

Run a thousand miles,

Swim the widest ocean,

Climb the highest mountain,

Jump over any obstacle

Just to get to your fix.

Rugged, rough and tough man

Giving up Eskimo kisses at her command.

Kind, gentle and pleasant lady

Gone Ramba nuts and berserker crazy,

When seeing him speaking with another lady.

Then there’s losing sleep and sheep

Because you can’t stop thinking

about your sweet.

So you lose track of counting those lambs 
And wham!

You get slammed with drama-rama.

But there’s still more,

You get poor.

Because of one’s honey,

You run out of money.

An expensive fix,

For the sweetest high,

To be apart from your sweetie pie

You would die.

That’s what some call love.

*This piece was motivated from the drama-rama of many real life experiences.

CREAM & SUGA PLEASE by Tuese Ahkiong

CREAM & SUGA PLEASE

by Tuese Ahkiong

A no suga fast-diet and
a no fat cream dream
of keeping it lean
has made my mug
just bitter black

My lips haven't tasted
the joy of silky suga
swirling around the taste buds of my tongue.

It's been a long while since
having sweet milky hazelnut
in my java cup.

To enjoy and savor
that addictive coffee flavor
with cream and suga
-mixes with a caffeine high
that keeps me up to morning skies.

SUN RAYS KISSING MY SKIN (INSTEAD OF YOU) by Tuese Ahkiong

SUN RAYS KISSING MY SKIN 

(INSTEAD OF YOU)

by Tuese Ahkiong

Before me 
an endless ocean 
and a sky of blue
Sun rays kissing my skin 
Instead of you. 
Waves roaring, 
kiddies laughing, 
birdies singing 
and thoughts dreaming...
That this sea of love would be kind
And find
A gal 
to drown 
deep down
inside
of me
But will it ever be?
A wish come alive?
An open door 
to wake me 
from this sandy floor?
Still waiting 
the day 
she would wash upon my shore...
sigh.

Thinking about God's Grace by Tuese

Thinking About God's Grace
by Tuese C. Ahkiong

singing with a choir of saints
for the glory and fame of The Lord
my heart trembles and faints
at the presence of God’s Righteousness, Majesty and Sovereignty.
Holy, Holy, Holy;
3 times Holy is He
and wicked, wretched, sinful be me
how is it that I still breathe!!??
when every evil thing about me He sees.
I live my life before an
all-powerful, all-knowing, omnipresent, infinitely Holy God!
Thank you, Lord, for being rich in mercy;
The only reason I am given another breath.
But more, so, I’m lavished and found by Your loving grace
By which I will never see death
because Jesus took my place.
In Christ I boast and stand
I cannot be snatched from His hand.
And while I live out Your plan
Upon this sinful land
Please sanctify me, Father, I pray!
Keep my heart from going astray.
My sins I hate, please slay,
As you lead me in the way,
Everlasting.
I bless You for making me Yours
You created a new heart in me that cannot help but sing your praise.
You filled me with your righteousness, peace and joy of your precious Holy Spirit.
My heart is totally Compelled
To tell
Of Your amazing love,
The wonderful Gospel.
You, O Lord, are The Gospel,
The Good News.
You in my life is everything to me.
You are my life and I live to worship You.
You are my treasure and I live to glory in You forever.

TANGLED IN YOU by Tu

TANGLED IN YOU
by Tu


Ah! The complications of life...
...that Tangle.
Those things that hinder
the page from turning.
One finds herself
returning and yearning
to see if there's any sign of life,
any wood left
to get this relationship
burning.
Only time can tell
If my heart is still held
by her sweet spell.
Or if this is just a long
lingering drawn out sigh
that has lost its breath
and simply must die.
I find myself
beneath a wishing tree
with eyes to the sky
that cry
and realizing
I climbed too high.
Heart, body and soul
entwined with u
i can't seem to move
what a place in life to find myself
stuck in a knotted situation
just idling in a snag
wrapped and trapped around u
these feelings are so hard to shake
but taste them and savor them I must
to know and feel
the many sensations
and flavors of living,
or betta yet, sinning.
and now I'm eating the fruit
of what I sowed.
it was just a moment ago,
that i couldn't get enough of you
and now I'm glued
to ms. fatal attraction
and feeling the subtraction
in my soul, time, energy and treasury
and the increase profit
in misery.
as BBD would say,
she's poison!
saw the red flags,
heard the warnings,
but the emotions over road them all
and now i fall
not in love
but insane
knowing i chucked the logic of my brain
and gained the pain.
all this to not be alone
with loneliness?
I groan.
I fooled myself.
thinking she would bring
my soul a quencher!?
really though,
hanging with crazy people
brings crazy adventures.
non-stop drama
where you cry out to your momma.
then you go numb and simply just exist
in this thing called a relationship.
this is my experience,
my prison, my hell,
my journey confirmation,
that i still breathe to tell.
that i have touched and felt,
what it means to...
...exist...
...in a crazy relationship...
...tangled in you...

The War on Drugs is a war on people and freedom by Tuese Ahkiong

The War on Drugs is a war on people and freedom 
by Tuese Ahkiong

Are we as Americans and Human Beings free to put into our bodies whatsoever we choose as long as we do no harm to others and take full responsibility for our actions?

The Drug War has created the police state in which police can do violence to a person for possessing or even suspected of possessing a banned plant by the government.  It has also created the prison industry which is connected to the judicial system prosecuting non-violent crimes industry; a waste of time and money.  It has also created big profits for BIG PHARMA that makes drugs that kill more people than all illegal drugs combined.

see  http://www.leap.cc/

Cigarettes (Nicotine) kills 480,000/ yr

Big Pharma Drugs kill 230,000/ yr

Alcohol kills 80,000/ yr
People killed by US Cops 1113 in 2014, 1216 in 2015, 1162 in 2016

Cannabis kills 0/ yr and ever

Cannabis has great medicinal benefits like killing cancer, fighting alzheimers, relieving aches & pain, cramps, seizures, stress, trouble sleeping, depression.  If one can grow their own medicine, it would destroy large profits for the BIG PHARMA corporations. This is why Cigarette, Big Pharma & Alcohol corporations support banning CANNABIS.

The drug dealing gangsters do not want Cannabis legalized because the black market makes them MONEY.
Politicians do not want Cannabis legalized because corporation support them with big MONEY.
Police do not want Cannabis legalized because by enforcing the failed war on drugs, they get MONEY.
Prisons do not want Cannabis legalized because the inmates the copsters arrest and jail, keep the flow of MONEY and they get to use them as slave labor.

Cannabis can revitalize an economy in many ways in many areas: fuel, lumber, paper, clothes, medicine, food, stress relief, recreation...  see Colorado.

Genesis 1:11-12 And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:29And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.

1 Corinthians 10:31   So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

"Whatever you do" like use MJ, do to YHWH's glory!
