It only made sense to me-
like I only wade in destiny,
like I only drink very dark tea,
on summer mornings when they are scorching...
It only made sense to me,
like it's scoring the dividers detracting O' tall and torry,
at the worried hello sojourning,
...of a next year's encouraged
deuteronomy,
and the slots spell perfectly like I am optionally twerking
tangents and the emotional torpid laughing,
hacking as I complain entrapping this dent upon the distances-
completing me in the persistence, as I know of no more to be finished
and fixed,
this is existence and the amiable confidence.

Being with Jesus Christ*
...emboldens faith, deterring discouragements
...enlightens the unlearned, defying sin-obscurity
...educates the ignorance, displaying truth
...exposes God's marvels, demanding holiness
...elucidates Bible knowledge, detracting hypocrisy
...exclaims heavenly perception, directing toward scriptural pursuits
...enriches life, developing servant-leadership!
*Acts 4:13 "Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus."

Everyone is focusing on
the external enemy when
we are being destroyed
within
The enemy is detracting
people while he slowly leads
people astray
The Word of God is where
Can find the truth and
it will set us free
Through believing on
what Jesus did on calvary
to the sin debt we owed
It is hard for people to
see because they are
to busy focussing on
the cares of this life
this world is filled with
bitterness and strife
so thick we can cut
it with a knife
People don't we should
be preparing for our
destination heaven
or hell where we go is
up to us

IRRESISTIBLE – Two sketches
Bella Donna
At distance
She had beauty of form –
A kind of neutral simplicity
Which added perfumed color
To those surround
Closing on subject
One might notice a slight pink rush
On her blossom face
A deep emerald glow
Striking the eye
The meeting is sudden
One yearns to touch
Ah but to kiss
Would be sorry for
A poison heart stains that loveliness
POPPY
Her dress is varied –
A mixed confusion of inner colors
Detracting from those not lesser charms -
The lemon creamy fringes
The central ebony and peach flares
Blend to focus an oval black beauty
With laughing lips
And a will to be loved
Dave Austin
