In the night wallowed forlorn arts, casting glowing shadows from amongst sempiternal darkness, such brevity before the course of riven lives cast aside, aside then and step through the open gate. Sojourn of the reveries again you must displease me, but in return a promised wish, and wish you do and wish you might upon this star, luciferous, the morning star.
Unto you is given holy light,
That you may choose the highest right.
All treasures have I to give,
To unify, edify, lift and live.
To grow, gain, build, and rise,
I give you gifts of the highest price,
That you may always have gifts to share,
To bestow on all in fervent prayer.
I give you peace to show the world,
The truth, the light, the way I AM,
With all My presence to be unfurled,
As a bond and token banner for all man.
All things have life and place in me,
To show all mysteries of light heavenly.
The good, the bad, the balance scale,
The one on one hand, and the other in hell.
There is one thing in the middle,
Which is the fulcrum point of life,
And whichever side you hang from,
You have power and judgment to decide.
I desire for you to be with Me,
To live and stand steadfast in liberty.
Give cause to freedom and justice,
And you shall obtain divine mercy.
For every hand that reaches out,
To hold mine in covenant clasp,
Will find their life here renewed,
And be finally home with me at last.
I have wronged you, my love and need to be redeemed.
For our bright light has dimmed, this is not as I dreamed.
So I shall linger in lavender fields thinking of an apology
to make you realize how much you really mean to me.
I shall beg, plead and say sorry for the pain I have schemed,
and be the wife that you always longed for me to be.
I crave redemption for my transgressions devoid of hope,
I have learned my lesson after seeing you dreadfully cope.
Please hear my vindication and bestow forgiving grace
so that we may come together and once again embrace.
When I noticed I caused you to fall down that slippery slope,
I realized how my actions and words made you need your space.
So I wander this wilderness alone, though I made a mistake-
I’m truly sorry, my sweet…for opening your heart to break.

Due to an injury, love's scars can be seen.
In matters of love scars fade like a dream
Scars of beauty they are declared.
Some refer to as ugly because they're scared.
Love leaves scars which most do possess.
Bestow scars of ivory to grace toughs who've conquest
Love more precious than gold
All the memories it unfolds
Planting seeds that blossom ten-fold
Allowing us to fit into life's mold
Lasting through the ages never growing old
Creating this amazing flow
Of our love that only God can bestow
That heats up with the right kind of flavor
Cutting through life like a sharp saber
With the bond that allows us to care
Dressing it all up with the right kind flare
Looking it all over with a deep down stare
Loyal to each other in all that we share
Believing only God can answer our prayer's
Lighting our way through the clouded haze
Bringing love together in extraordinary ways
Sorting through life's tangled maze
On the wings of how our love is portrayed
Like a melody in a perfect serenade
Braided together like sunlight is to shade
Making sure our love is as soft as suede
For you there is nothing I wouldn't trade
Knowing that our sparks will never fade
As our life continues to be told
With our love more precious then gold
Let my beloved be
With her tender passion that dances to her heartbeats
As her beauty sings to her heartbeats
And with longing thirst of love for me to see
Let my beloved continue to live
With her glowing skin and dazzling eyes that illuminate pitch black rooms
And her beauty that makes flowers grieve
Allow the nights to bestow on her, more love for me her groom
Let my beloved forever own
The mesmerizing smell of sprouting lilacs
And the shape which make bees buzz and butterflies groan
With emotions for me, make her mind forever dark

Bestow A Break
Anything will happen when we want it to
Should pray to God so it can come true
And wish will appear before each eye
As your happy tears did start to dry.
How rewarding has been my happiness
And none of it hope I ever will miss
Not for one second or a single speck
Of dust God allowed me to select.
Speck ended up being my entire soul
What soon became my greatest goal
Many people Bible have been recording
All of the things God was awarding.
Pray wherever you are and then wait
While God is in heaven at golden gate
Waiting for you to arrive up there
And all He asked for was one prayer.
Verses in Bible before me did appear
If friend or foe who has found much fear
Perfectly clear message God shall make
At half time to each team bestow a break.
James Thomas Horn
I have my doubts about this one.
They say rain brings sorrow and pain
They say it comes to make you wail
I oppose, I've seen those drops falling down on my window glass
Every drop that plunges on the casement brings shaft of light in my eyes
Every dewdrop that falls down on my face invigorate my heart
I've seen that little seed budding faster than ever
I've observed the tiny pip becoming stronger
It lives just a few steps down the lane
As forever, rain has arrived with all the bliss and glee again
It is time to blossom and time to thrive for all the shrubberies, flora and human life
no good deed goes unpunished
no bad deed unrewarded
just deciding which is what
the altruistic and the sordid
depends upon the angle of view
what an act is deemed to better
and who it might be bettered to
gain advantage, and who's the debtor
gray is life's chromatic scale
certainty colored by present perception
think our discernment to no avail
that may be our own self-deception
clarity is the provenance of youth
blurrier is wizened maturity's truth

Just make this day, LORD
And let it be
A little love
And a closer walk with thee
Just make us PEACE
And let it flow
Into our hearts
And let us know
Just send us GRACE
And let it dwell
Into our souls
So others can tell
Just give us LOVE
And Bestow
On us and others

spare me now of the joy i crave
let me retrieve my long lost bliss;
should you bade me to be saved
and give chance for the tranquil's kiss?
Take a walk with me
into the forest at twilight
Drape your arm around
my withering shoulders
and guide us down the path
to meet our gray tomorrows
Warm my cool thin lips
with kisses from our youth
and let me gaze into
the blue hot embers that
made my body burn
throughout our yesteryears
Protect me from
the frightening things
I somehow don’t recall
Guard the night steadfastly
so I might sleep in peace
with my cheek upon your chest
now dusted with winter frost
Pray my evening prayers
and laugh with me in the morning
So when the daylight begins to die
we can walk hand in hand
through the moonlight
to embrace our eternal night
