I yearn for a love so authentic
that I will be allowed to present myself in my most delicate, vulnerable, and purest form...
Naked!
Nude, beyond the flesh.
An emotional and spiritual bareness.
A space where I can embrace the best version of me.
So that I can openly and whole heartedly love the best, naked, version of you.

In the sadness of a fevering heart,
Disrobed humanness can fade away,
Revealing rich spiritual realities.
The Word of God declaring His clarity,
In the futility of human hungering.
Steadfast love & justice make music,
Releasing fountains of satisfying coolness,
Calming pleading, sating needing.
Call others into the shower of joy,
& share the witness of His care.

Pray for him.
Cook for him.
Let him take lead.
Pray with him.
Lay with him,
Do the intimate deed.
Help him with his spiritual battles,
By giving him scriptures to read.
Fix his plate,
Clean up,
Rub his back,
While praying for him some more,
Put him asleep,
Ask the Lord for him to be,
In His safe keep.
This has become a part of my life.
These are some of my duties as his wife.

Writing cute with words of beaut
He lifts me up with prose,
Preaches words of wisdom
I ate when heard transpose.
For never wrong to sing a song
From heart with all good mind,
Hence often read all of his
Digest and then rewind...
To the start my eyes do dart
Restoring appetite,
Vision with optimism
Bringing much delight.
Spiritual poetry
Soothing sacred soul,
Admire and aspire..
To better is the goal.

in your heart there's a fire
to praise our Holy Creator
a intense burning desire
for our spiritual generator
If you need to further increase
on your faith and belief
you need to openly reveal
so your doubts will be healed
as He is the very One
who sent to us His only Son
whose life was a sacrificial forfeit
for the sins that mankind did commit
so just keep on craving
let your passion for Him keep blazing
and as long as you keep on yearning
your desire for Him will keep on burning

The spirit-man within him stood
Persevered the pain.
Determined he would take no food,
until the blessings rained.
Both mind and body were subdued.
The Creator was his claim.
In a jail, shackled and bound,
each day he overcame.
He spoke no daily platitudes,
but only lay in wait,
soul reaching to the universe,
for spiritual escape.
Endowed by the Creator’s realm
the spirit-man grew stronger,
denying food in fasting prayer,
his body had no hunger.
Oh, what secrets may be jailed
in this Charman, priest or chief.
There lies a strength, outside the self
of spirit and belief.

I KNOW THAT I AM A TRUE SURVIVOR THE HOLY GHOST HAS BEEN MY SPIRITUAL PROVIDER.
IN THE MIDST OF THE MY STORM HE WAS THERE TO KEEP ME WARM.
THERE WERE TIMES WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO GIVE UP ON THIS LIFE.
BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS THERE TO BRING ME UP IN TO THE LIGHT.
KEEPING ME SAFE THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.
THE SUNLIGHT IN THE MORNING AND THE MOONSHINE AT NIGHT HE KNOWS HOW TO MAKE EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT.
HE MAKES MY PATHS STRAIGHT AND NARROW FOR I KNOW THAT HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW.
MY SOUL YEARNS FOR HIM AND MY SPIRIT HUNGERS FOR HIM DAILY.
EVERY SECOND EVERY MINUTE AND EVERY HOUR.
HE IS MY ALL IN ALL HE IS THE AIR THAT I BREATHE AND THE NOURISHMENT TO MY SOUL.
HE IS THE PROVIDER AND THE NAVIGATOR OF MY JOURNEY

Your skin glows like the cherry, blossoms beautiful as the Marigolds in the purest hope of spring.
My yearning heart rises to your soft voice and leaps like a tiger at the whisper of your name, Joseph.
The evening ascends in on a great dove`s wing.
I am calmed by your shirt that I carry into the twilight of sunsbeams and hold next to my eyes.
I am filled with hope that I may dry your tears of water.
As my hat falls from my head, it reminds me of your love.
In the hushed, I listen for the last heartbeat of the spring.
My heated body leaps to my floor. I wait in the crystal moonlight for your secret surprise so that we may look into each others eyes as one, body to body, in search of the glorious red and spiritual design of love.

Which was the Son, WHO IS YOUR FATHER
Which was the son
Of all man
Where does he come from
Comes from
We have
the
same Father
Which was the son of Adam
Which was the Son of God
Some of us had three Fathers
In our life
One Spiritual God the Father
One Spiritual Lucifer/Satan Father of lies
One natural physical dad "you fill in the blank_______________"
My father name is
Are you thankful
Question is you know who your daddy is
Have you repented are you temporary one of Satan's kids
As Maury Povich would say, "Do you know who the father is?"
"And the results are in ____________Your daddy is?,
"Satan, you are not the father"
Which was the Son, WHO IS YOUR FATHER
Allah

The Lord is my Shepherd
wherever I walk.
He speaks gently to me
and to His flock.
He leadeth me when the waters are scarce.
He leadeth, He leadeth me home.
When I grow weary,
I rest by a tree
and go fast asleep
leaning on my Lord's knee.
He resteth, He resteth,
He resteth by me.
He leadeth, He leadeth me home.
He playeth His flute as I go to sleep.
The mountains and valleys
resound and repeat.
The songs that He playeth
are ever so sweet.
He leadeth, He leadeth me home.
It's more than a flicker
from life unto death.
The storm clouds grow thicker
the older I get.
But I have no fear
for the Shepherd I hear.
He leadeth, He leadeth me home.
He leadeth, He leadeth me home.
Janet Marie Bingham
A religious poem song I wrote, but I don't have the music for it yet.
The word leadeth is a spiritual way of saying leads and I believe it works
well, so don't change it.

In prayer with one of God's Daughter;
Awaiting His blessing to behold;
In prayer with one of God's Daughters;
Praying for all to be well;
we are praying for a refreshing power
Praying for renewal of mind;
Praying for power and spiritual blessings;
Halle- Hallelujah;
In prayer with my Sister one of God's Daughters;
Fasting and Believing awaiting the receiving;
In prayer we stand, we stay;
Praying for all to be well;
No one knows, but us and God;
we are praying for a refreshing power
Praying for renewal of mind;
Praying for power and spiritual blessings;
Halle- Hallelujah;
Oh, oh, wooH, deliver her Lord, my God for those things she spoke of;
And Healing of your world, this land;
Redeem us Father God give us another chance to see your grace and love;
In prayer with my Sister one of God's Daughters;
Fasting and Believing awaiting the receiving;
In prayer we stand, we stay;
Praying for all to be well;
No one knows, but us and God;
we are praying for a refreshing power
Praying for renewal of mind;
Praying for power and spiritual blessings;
Halle- Hallelujah;

Such sweet, lovely moments with you,
Each time we speak
I experience overwhelming
joy and love.
I am still floating in the luxurious warmth....
words are terribly inadequate,
when I attempt to describe the effect
you have on my soul.
Yes, I believe it is my soul,
as the feelings and emotions
lighten my soul to such a degree, that
I am nearly in a meditative, out of body state
My consciousness floats freely
in absolute bliss.
These words are neither flowery,
nor sugary attempts to be poetic;
They are dragged from the depths of my heart,
to this physical world,
To explain that, which cannot be explained
Knowing you forever of days,
lifetimes, and love knots,
that have bound our souls
in this embryonic embrace.
The pads of my finger tips tingle
as I see your hands connecting to mine
Tethered by spiritual light,
infused with starshine from the farthest nebulas.
Reaching through the ether,
arriving as a lustrous lavender aura,
that cocoons our souls in eternitys womb.
Our heart soul sings joyous, melodic notes,
with origins we can only feel,
but never to be heard,
in the physical plane.
Soul songs from our beloved
Masterworks.
Oh, how I love thee and beyond...

The Sun and the Moon are twin flames.
One from the other is Never far away.
Always 11 seconds, 11 minutes, 11 hours,
11 days, and 11 months apart, nothing can stop
the chasing of each other's hearts.
The Sun loved the Moon so much, that
it lightened up its day and gave to its love,
12 hours to shine her beauty into the darkness
as the stars like her sparkled unto her likeness.
Though forever chasing and feeling like
they're never to be caught, just for a
moment's glimpse of each other,
daybreak slowly parts.
One cannot be complete without the other
together - though apart,
their love is still true and each day, a new start.
There is no loneliness or despair for within lyes,
Forever Love and Forever Care, Love Never dies.
Across the horizon in the 11 seconds left,
I love you will be spoken, and through an eyes glance,
they'll leave nothing unsaid.
Someday when the Sun and Moon collide,
The King and his Archer will forever be
side by side; nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
A match made in Heaven that has withstood the test of time,
through all the ages, a kiss longed for, that love would bind.
The Sun King, the Groom, the Moon Archer, his eternal, spiritual Bride.
The story of Twin Flame Lovers is so powerfully aligned.
A Bright flame so bold, that every 24 hours, the story is retold.

This woman asked the man... she said if you love me
If you really really love me you will put me above
the other women
And if you love me really really love me
You would praise and worship God alongside me
And if you love me really love me a church attendance a spiritually and physically one
Should never be mentioned, for it shall be automatic
As for you shall lead me and us you and I
Together we will fly it as singing we dance in Harmony praising our Lord and King
And if you love me really really love me you put no one else above me
You will just only just love me
You open the door doors for me in the spiritual altar
In turn you will he will turn on the lights of the Moon and never falter
You will carry me my Body, Spirit of soul and bring me in your arms to behold
You're walking in God's pathway
As we look down on the highways
And if you love me really really love me
We would hold hands and pray and sing devotionals
If we could we would try all day
And if you love me really really love me
And our thoughts we would win
Because we were aware this fateful Grand
Hallelujah! We have crossed over as we sing
if you love me really really love me
You would pray together we would be forever
And if you love me really really love me Hallelujah!
We praise the Lord our internal God r
We know this for sure because we really really love him
Together as we praise as man and a woman we shall so and do honor to Him
We love Him we really really love Him our Lord God all mighty...

Didactic

it's all about the right relationship you need to have with the Lord God
it's about loving Him, knowing Him and having Him in your heart
for to have God in your heart will change your behavior
to have a love for Him that you can spiritually savor
to have a peace within you like a river that runs so deep
to have a relationship with God that will make your soul weep
to love God with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind
to have a commitment with Him that will stand the test of time
Jesus was with the Pharisees as they tried to trip Him up
unaware that as the Son of Man He had a full spiritual cup
they asked which of the commands should the people most adhere
Jesus said to love the Lord God no matter who, what, when or where
it's about the right relationship that you have with the Lord
to love Him above all things and to Him always look towards
homo-religious God-seekers are we all
we know there's a higher force on whom we do call
it's the Holy Spirit in us that makes us want to worship and praise
be it God, Jesus or Allah our eyes to them will be forever raised
we are compelled to love the God who gave us life
we are urgent in our worship and glorifying of Jesus the Christ
so let the Holy Spirit remind you of where you have come from
and have a joy in your heart that's manifested by the Son
to worship Him, to glorify Him, to bow down to Him and kiss His feet
to have a love for Him so intense it makes you whole and complete
my Provider, my Battle Fighter, my Prince of Peace in a world of confusion
my Righteousness, my Ever-Present God, my Shepard in a world of disillusion
it's all about the right relationship that you have with the Lord Christ
to have a love for the Lord that prominent in every aspect of your life

Prose Poetry

With a heavy heart
I am writing this poem,
when catching my breath
I was awakened
by a flying star
knocking at my window,
wondering why am I concerned
that I forgot even in the
darkness there is a light?
I needed proof to eliminate
the jeopardy I am in tonight
as I am constantly being
reminded of my past,
needing to forget
I beg, for new beginnings.
I want to stop agonising
sitting here all night
weeping missing him
and afraid of my
own shadow.
I do not want any more
to be moved by his words,
but await his action
to show me how strong
is his love towards me,
yet knowing I will
remain badly hurt
in isolation.
In order for my love to end,
I needed someone to help me,
I needed a transformation
to remove my heart's obscurity.
I am very old,
but the odd thing is
I do not feel old.
I have lost my youth
and there is nothing
in this world, that can
return it to me.
Oh sun, go away,
bring the wind
to destroy my soul
and sink my heart
to the bottom
of the deep ocean.
I used to prefer to watch
the rising sun,
then to the setting
of the moon,
as darkness violates
the beating of my heart
and soul.
I wish I could have some
spiritual refuge
to unburden my life
with someone I trust;
that I could clear the skies
for the doves to fly in circles
around me, whisper their lyrics_
around my solitaire true love,
and wish that moment
would live forever.
I know now that
the planet rules our lives,
and the shining stars
when they shine above us,
will always remind me
that today I am here,
without his shadow.
I will bring into existence
all reasons to be happy by
ordering the fog never
to cloud my thoughts.
