Without You

I labour thru' the day just to see your face; you keep me off the fray without you, i'm lost in space. The persecution lasts a while but you see me through; love's drive as a child pure heartaches leave me blue. Just thinking of you brings me consolation; my tears fall as a fool my troubles in resignation. I look the hours to pass till i gaze upon thee; thence my heart dances my soul thus set free. Ms. K, you save me again giving refuge in your love; the Lord to bless maintain His comfort oh! so soft! If i could only thank you i'd sail the seven seas; till we meet in honest truth Ms. K, love me at least. Till the world ends in flames my heart will still yearn; this impossible love, not games teaches me, much to learn. So, as i pen these thoughts i hope you will one day see; i buy you not in gold or lots i have you within, deep in me. God hath taught me this much to love is to override hate; to bend the evil and sordid such to focus on her, my salvation's made. This cycle will last a while till the moon turns red, i still shall smile; love's torn apart by vile my prayers, Ms. K, winneth' my trials. Good night, Ms. K, i bless thee i hope you will still see me; tomorrow's lots, i am not free without you, a lone, still tree.

you're too kind, Nette; thanks for dropping by, and to the Lord be glory! yes, i'm especially fond of her, but sometimes it takes a very big miracle to see this through. cheers!

Wonderful rhymes (especially lots and thoughts,through and blue, see and me as somewhat adding meaning to different levels ) rhythm and imagery (spontaneously reminding me of Robert Frost : kind of end of world in fire or frozen, if love is lost) as well the moonlight so dear to Romantic poets (moon red : spontaneously reminding Robert Burns: My heart is a red. red rose...), possible common recollections. My hormones still stamp, so I understand the feelings of the waterlily and lone tree.

thanks, Ovidiu, for your kind insight; i am grateful to the Lord for granting me this "refuge in love" in times as these; still, let us pray for joy and peace, which incidentally, is the Fruit of the Spirit! cheers!

rarely does some things in life doth bring me comfort; offer me the hope, and bring me such joy that cannot be described in words. it's nice to have a goal, and it brings me relief in times as these; refuge in love, that to me can narrow the huge rift i have to cross. goodnight! and God bless!
