There’s got to be more of You.
I am miserably unsatisfied.
There’s got to be more than a prayer,
More than a song,
More than a Sunday service.
There’s got to be more of You.
And if I worship, then let Your presence come down.
And if I preach, then let You Spirit speak.
And if I pray,then let the gates of hell shake.
There must be more of You.
“On The Outskirts Of My Soul” Is Published!

Vadim Makoyed is a twenty-one year old artist spending most of his time designing, playing music, and serving God in a local church.
In this book, through over fifty different poems, Vadim uniquely captures and describes the emotional and the spiritual life of him as a young man.
Most of the poems have descriptions letting readers know exactly what thoughts and situations inspired Vadim to write. This is very unusual as most of the time readers can only guess what was going on in a poet’s head during the writing process.
“This book is somewhat a collection of many different places I’ve been to since I started writing these poems in the year of 2009. It is not about places I’ve traveled to and visited in the physical world. This book is about emotional and spiritual journeys to the outskirts of my soul.”
- Vadim Makoyed

Self-portrait that I’m not really sure how I came up with… but honestly, it turned out to be a true self-portrait hinting on a part of me… smaller or bigger part… negative or positive part… I’m not sure. I just know it’s me in me)
Such a Beautiful Song We Sing

I heard a lot of people say, “Everything is great. We do it all just fine and righteous.” But they never wanted to open their eyes to see that they’re actually hurting a lot of souls of men.
Such a beautiful song we sing
About a terror and betrayal
About the birds with ripped out wings.
Such a beautiful song we sing.
I miss You, God!
I can’t go home just yet.
But if I could I would I bet.
Because I want to sing a new song.
For being different I am wrong.
I hate their tunes of puppetry
Religion keeps me in its jaws.
I wish it spits me out at last.
And I would run like prisoner set free!
A Single Glance

These thoughts came to my mind after God’s touch on my soul. He touched me so greatly that I couldn’t even stand on my feet. Here are my words of love to Him.
Your one glance is enough
To get me through the day.
A single glance is enough
For gravity to lose strength.
I find it interesting to me
Eternity – how can it be
Together, You and me
We’ll be
When time will set us free
Thinking Out Loud (About Life)

For almost twenty-one years I roam the earth. I love to watch life; the way it flows, the ways people thrust it many directions, the ways it pays us back what we deserve. No, this world isn’t my home and it never accepted me hospitably. I will leave this place, but still people will be here after me and it scares me at times…
Life is disrespected and dishonored. Selfishness takes over young hearts. Everyone is doing what they feel is right, acting on their own definition of “right”. They follow their pleasures, and desires, and attractions, and addictions. They can’t stand a timely discomfort of selflessness and truth… eventhough deep inside they know the ways of righteousness.
Sounds like suicide to me. More

I never expected it, not then. I never had such an experience, I just don’t remember.
I was born and raised in a Christian family and all my life was always around my God. Yet, I never remember such a touch of God’s presence that I’ve felt during worship at Frontline Youth Center this Friday (05.14.10) I just can’t remember God touching me in such a deep way like He did this Friday.
There weren’t much people at the service and we were singing songs of worship to the Lord. During the fourth song we were playing loud with musicians – improvising. Then, I felt a wave coming through my chest. I thought to myself, “This spontaneous melody sounds way nice!”
So, we kept on playing it and then I feel another wave that is by far greater then the first one. More
