"Carbohydrates and sinew are on this pair's menu."
Penning delicacies
Like chocolate eclairs
Lemon chiffon
Colorful words, affairs
Of the tastebuds
Delectable shares
Light and appealing
Nothing compares
To heavenly puddings
Sweets like prayers
Promising goodness
In poetry and prose
Scrumptious words rise
Detailing mouthwatering
Thoughts, lovely pies
Capturing the silent joy
Twinkling in the eyes
Of those mouthwatering
Desserts who baptize
The tongue in delight
Nothing can disguise
Such yummy satisfaction
The empty page cannot know
Ways to cleverly melt
Prose with pleasantness
Here in the bible belt
Where we know our sugars
Blended with heartfelt
Palatability, allure of desserts
Who bring such deep-felt
Ecstasy from the soul who knows
Appetites are alive, indwelt
By such luscious gratification
Writing of honey loving tastes
In saccharine hearts, devoted
To pleasant flavors,
Both tangy and light, quoted
By legendary authors
Poets – writers who noted
The savory enchantments
Found in confections, coated
With powdered sugar
Floating in syrupy delight, voted
The best part of life

Submitting stalwart under Orions belt
Asking for more, what's given forever svelte
Feeling any hotter, my soul would melt
Emotional depth, of ardent eyes I've felt
Holding the best hand, life's dealer ever delt
Fully of flushed hearts, two of a kind indwelt
As my will forever folds, in and of you it knelt
Engraved the word forever, in the gold I smelt
In the twilight rain
In the crimson sun
A cute valentine chain
The love lyric is spun
You are the pink Aster
The rain is beautiful
In your city centre
The hibiscus bugle
You are a red flute
I can row a boat
You lend me the arrow
With a wave I shoot
You are the Sunshine
My icy prose I melt
In the peaks intertwined
A nirvana indwelt
In your gray dusk
I seek the blue stars
In your honey musk
I travel at the mars
In your dew-drop dawn
My scent of frangipani
In it I am withdrawn
For a scarlet anarchy
My river of the day
Your sun keeping warm
In the twilight bouquet
A violet thunderstorm
A shaft of sunshine
Fondling the thirsty lips
My golden valentine
A pink pearl on the rose leaves
Stay well my sunshine
With the golden hay
My lilac valentine
On the pink day

Mankind is made as physical beings
but not only that we're spiritually too
so as we need physical nourishing food
spiritual food also required make us anew
Our source for this spiritual manna
is Jesus Christ himself son of God
only He can provide this life source
this keeps us moving our feet to trod
Jesus is the true light of the world
one where every blessing does flow
from Him alone is our living source
His timing is spot on never slow
Christ is our true divine God man
feed on Him for ever to constantly abide
such abundant pleasure comes from above
for in Christ enabling against the tide
So you are now indwelt in His love
overflowing quenching your very thirst
such is the perfect place to always be
your friend for life always being first
('Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.') John 6: 56 (ESV)
Bless-ed of God-
indwelt from without
Mt 5-1-12
When Christ comes He'll bring real life
gone for good, the sting of death.
His power and peace cleanses the strife,
Life eternal with His Holy Breath,
pluck the day while it is ripe; get engrossed.
All unmerited on our part,
by Christ the victory is won.
His death and resurrection starts
a journey with the Holy One.
Seize the day, live life from pillar to post.
Life that begins by our free choice
indwelt by His Spirit holy;
we listen daily for His voice
which leads us to gates of glory.
Smell the roses before they become toast.
Heaven is real, I can hardly wait
until our good Lord's will is done.
God's calendar will not be late;
timing revolves around His Son.
Carpe diem, live life to the utmost.
Can our spirits pray
without God at the center
Can worship pay homage
to self
Can divinity reign
in each person ordained
Revering what’s hidden
—indwelt
(Dreamsleep: October, 2020)
God's grace has come bringing salvation
to people of all variety and distinction
indwelt by His spirit of pure holiness
giving you His gift of regeneration
God's plan in sending His grace
to train His own to be controlled and upright
living lives of godliness in this present age
forsaking worldliness to gain God's light
In all of this God's people do wait
waiting in faith for their blessed hope
that hope is in the appearing of Jesus Christ
your Lord and saviour our all-seeing telescope
This Jesus gave up himself for us
to gain our redemption by His death
on Calvary's cross there He did bleed
gaining our victory in His last breath
Jesus bought us to purify a people
for His own possession to redeem
that they would do good works
being zealous full of godly steam
(For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.)
Titus 2: 11-14 (ESV)
Self-Owned
Remember
the day
you became entitled
to yourself
No debts to pay
no last charade
the circle closed
— indwelt
(Dreamsleep: May, 2025)
Reflection
Do we just recall
a memory
Or its cause
and its effect
Is consciousness
a chain of links
To front load
— or dissect
(Dreamsleep: May, 2025)
Beatitude
The deeper you question
the more you constrain
God’s true existence
to never explain
Loosen your grip
on what holds you back
Surrender to glory
— Divinity’s tack
(1st Book of Prayers: May, 2025)
The Only Thing
Winning is always
undefeated
Score
to tell the tale
The victory plum
is zero sum
With glory
— to regale
(The New Room: May, 2025)
All Is Now
Unplugging tomorrow
recharging today
Conscripting the moment
— inside which we pray
(1st Book of Prayers: May, 2025)
A simulated consciousness
beyond our will to choose
Defying Einstein, Bohr, and Hume
where logic stands defused
The matter at hand can’t matter
when rules unwrite themselves
An order once thought preordained
—entropic and indwelt
(The New Room: August, 2023)
Bless-ed of God-
indwelt from without
Did time predate matter,
unto itself
Alive A Priori
—wholly indwelt
(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)
Faith is stronger than its outcome,
an end unto itself
Where souls enmire in hope afire
—to light the dream indwelt
(The Book Of Prayers: November, 2019)
