I thought I heard you call my name
It floated on the breeze
Your voice to me, so soothing
It puts me right at ease
I've also something to confess
Something you never knew
I listen to you sing each night
And harmonize with you
Lord speak to me in, with your still small voice
Whisper love endearing love
To me fulfill
renew the heart and spirit in me
Lord hold unto me in, with your ever strong loving arms
console in me show me that I'm loved
To me fulfill, hold me reshape me mold me my spirit
Whisper love endearing love
to me fulfill
Renew the heart and spirit in me

My bunny is my bestie, but I don’t want to hurt my dog.
So, I do not say it aloud, for Fido is super sensitive most days.
I am followed by geese, a turtle, a sparrow, butterfly and hedgehog.
We are moving together in the most delightful ways.
Even the termites chase me, coming out of their fallen log.
Some of them slide down in to the mud, perhaps in a daze.
Ducks and squirrels surround me, following me to the bog.
This is going to be one of the most endearing days!
Love is an impulse fueled by the heart,
A stimulating prompt eliciting response
Invoking affinity from halo of its soul~
Sense it, feel it, touching depth of core;
Harmonious, melodious, even in prose
Longingly love unfolds albums of yore
Etching memoirs today and tomorrow.
Love is the glimmer on giggles of child
Love is, beak to beak, feeding a newborn,
Love is a deer ambling with her fawn,
A blush of kiss love is on moonlit night,
Listen closely and you’ll hear its sound~
Sound of benevolence love expounds
Giving, receiving, never having to ask.
Love is a ballad in passions of romance
Blossoming reveries in bosoms of dawn,
Love is the chorus of nightingale’s song
Strumming its euphonic tunes of music
Enamored it comes in genuine feelings,
Vibrant and tender as flowers of spring,
Fragile and colorful as autumnal revelry.

Something in your heart so shines must be the beauty of God
Something's in your mind so kind it's Jesus
Embraced feeling warms surrounded by the arms of God
Powerful warming
And endearing
I speak to the God of creation my devotion in alms
Worthy
Glory
Holy
Hallelujah

What's so Specail
About tonight?
Is it a new;
Beginning?
After all this time
I am spending,
Just so glad
It's with you!
Got me looking
Forward to a
Specail ending.
One that'll let me
Spend more time
With you!
When it's right,
It's right.
Now that we're
together
No matter the
Endeavor.
I know now
Tonight is
All about you!
Endearing Encouragement
I am so sadden
I dress in black grey apparel
I need encouragement, hope
I am related to not promised minority
I vacation in the valley of death
My job is despairing
I desire Redemption and pairing hope

LAMENT poem type
Spasms of ecstasy
Occurring as they like
Climax in continuity
Rapturous bliss spike
Needless to say
The external fades away
Rhythmic sway
Renews every night & day
We thus are and be
Epitome of ecstasy
A long time ago I had an endearing pet,
a cat, his name I lovingly gave, was Billy.
He liked to lie on the sofa, and drip it wet,
feline stupidity, I thought, that was silly.
He would never use the assigned place
he was trained to go when he needed to pee.
Outside of the house nobody saw his face,
too lazy, inside he always wanted to be.
His home bound languid life I didn’t mind,
too cute, I always wanted him around me.
With his constant presence I was entwined,
for he became an integral part of my family.
One spring, I found, out of house he’d daily run,
my heart broke when I discovered in dismay,
one night, he disappeared, didn’t ever return.
My neighbor said with his mate he ran away.

Sometimes when your eyes are dirty shed a tear
sometimes when your heart feels unworthy
speak a rhyme
My God is so endearing
Sometimes when you soul is full
Just let it go
Sometime when your mind is smooth
Breathe deep and hold
My God is so endearing
Hold all those promises of our Father God
Hold yourself you are awesome so
Release in your heart, soul, spirit
Our God is so endearing
See, He embraces you everso. More!
O' thankful am I Hallelujah more
Forever and always holding onto the promises oh my God
Oh, My God Is So endearing

Love comforts the soul
It touches every emotion
It speaks to loss
And explains gains
It doesn't cause one to
Wonder
It is visible for all to see
His love is magical and untouchable,
He is a prince of this generation.
His hugs are endearing and warm,
His kiss is forever, he loved my paintings..
What will I do without him,
I pray he comes back, like Santa Claus.
Like Elizabeth Barrette Browning and Robert Barrette Browning and marry,
They are the great poets of the century.
I miss him, his tall masculine stature,
His beautiful blue eyes that smile at you.
The dimples in his cheeks,
What could you do, the rest is fate.
I said God has it out for us,
After god has introduced him and I.
I love you Robert, marry me,
Come live with me forever, let's continue to be friends at home.

My eyes see you watching me
My mind and heart reaches the possibility
WHY!! you keep staring at me
