Now That I Have Won My Love's Heart

Now that I have won my love’s heart and trust,
I must prove myself as a worthy choice
And secure the fickle bond between us
When others challenge for her hand and voice.

They utter words to sway her opinion
And whisper sweet nothings into her ear
(To paint me as a loathsome perception),
Ready

Forever Now

Not the worship of ashes
but transmission of fire
Time at its best
will the Muses inspire

Nostalgia and tears
rebury the past
With passion incarnate
— this moment to last

Premium MemberNOW MORE THAN EVER

May we be blessed to pray for love…
whether it comes directly from our heart
or guided by a God from up above…
for never in our lifetime 
as a country
as a people
has there been a greater need for love.

Whether bull or bear, it clears away the fears.

In every dip there’s wisdom,

I AM NOW FREE

His fists were the words he knew best,
A language of rage, a constant test.
He built a throne on her broken trust,
His kingdom a wasteland of bitter dust.

She served him strength, he gave her fear,
A daily ration of every tear.
He twisted her heart with his cunning lies,
A mirror that showed him in her eyes.

He called her

Premium MemberA home for now

Appearances

in time

seem as living space

a home for now

a place which allows

the morning paper

with coffee and

planning a day~

a story unfolding

with expectation and

maybe emptiness~

perhaps suggesting

bondage as freedom~~

Premium Memberhere now reborn

ignorance the cause, delusion the result
with ego in control, spewing imaginary fears
we fell down a bottomless abyss of dread
suffering pangs of slow strangulation
we had nothing to show for life lived thus far
as we helplessly watched organic form decay

pausing flow of thought, shifting into the void
we asked the existential question, ‘who am I?’
whereupon divine magnetism rose

Premium MemberBriam, then and now

Briam, then

I'm Briam,
I'm the one who's always by 'em.
At the fair, he listens to every sound,
and sometimes begs to go on the merry-go-round.
As for the other rides, he's deathly afraid to try 'em.

Liam, now

I'm Briam,
I was the one who was always by 'em.
At the fair, he listened to every sound,
and sometimes begged to go on

The gates are thrown open!
Wipe that sneer off your face 
Surrender to the thundering God 
Or I His prophet will so help me do it for you
You just didn’t want to see what you’ve always known

Premium MemberA New Idea

It’s a brand new big idea
The banned country of such size
So I want to make it clear
Either way it looks unwise
Wasn’t Germany at war
In Bach’s time, and wasn’t France
Fighting England till the score
Levelled up by circumstance
But they never used to ban
Scholars travelled, merchants traded 
Painters painted, music men
Wrote their stuff while the crusaders
Fought their sacred

Premium MemberKnowing The End Affects The Now - 1 Thessalonians 5: 1-11

God's word declares that the end will come
to know that Jesus will return
this is for the believer's comfort
believing your pleas, He won't spurn

Living here in the here and now
affects our endeavours to serve
looking upwards to the great day
turns us to follow on full of nerve

Remind ourselves of Jesus' sacrifice
dying in our place for our salvation

MY DAYS NOW HALCYON 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I embrace the sun's lavender glow,
for time has etched my story,
one of wisdom, silent knowing
an ancient river softly flowing.

Refrain:
sepia memories have come and gone
reflecting upon my days now halcyon

these eyes have seen a thousand dawns
regretting times when others I did wrong
self-forgiveness becomes my swan song
wondering if in my waning years I’ll

On a hill exists a house of tards.
We send them now.. Our worst regards'

They listen to foreign powers..
They work dark stuff.!

We must now invoke the constitution
For we have all had enough.!
