Valentine Mbagu Poems

The hour comes when you dream for marriage,
The hour when destiny calls the future to fulfilment;
The hour when nature requires you to settle down.
...

Marriage is an incomprehensible mystery
A hidden truth kept secret from the foundation of the world,
It cannot be discovered by intelligence or insight
But made explanatory by revelation.
...

The tears of love in my heart can neither human nor spirit understand,
For my heart is bruised in grief.

The pains of love in my soul can neither words nor speech utter,
...

The understanding of the stewardship of time calls attention to the accountability of time.
The knowledge of time management promotes the accomplishment of God's purpose for man.
The understanding of the time enhances the fulfillment of life ambitions on earth.
...

Loving begins with a lover,
a dishonourable person cannot love.
Like hunting which cannot be done by just any hunter,
loving requires ability;
...

I feel pain in my heart
My mind suffers in silence.

My soul seeks loneliness and longing,
...

The Brave Lion has be deprived the pride of His bride in the jungle of life.
The Mighty Tree has been hewned down by the dreaded wind of death.

Night has swallowed morning in the broad day light.
...

There where difficulty erupts like a volcano,
l will seek solace in God my Creator.

There where the sorrow and horror of life meets in a border,
...

There at the eve where October planned her suicide,
l embraced praise and worship hoping to recover all that was lost over the years.

There at the gloom where October groaned to dethrone her grains,
...

When the struggles and grudges of life weakens me down to my bones and marrows,
And l have none to strengthen me;
The grace of praise l embrace will quicken and be my strength.
When the devil fires an arrow of sorrow towards me,
...
