There is a moment
when skin meets skin
and the world shifts
without warning.
It is neither wholly sin nor wholly salvation,
only the tremor of bodies
recognizing something divine
in the other’s touch.
The air thickens
with heat and hesitation,
and I feel the pulse
of something older than shame
coursing through my veins.
It is holy in its recklessness,
sacred in its surrender,
and it frightens me
because I know I cannot name it
without trembling.
Every brush of fingers
feels like a prayer
that has slipped its way past
the lips it was meant for,
and every gasp
echoes the hymns
I was taught to whisper
when no one could hear.
I want to pull back,
to cloak myself in rules
and commandments,
to remind my body
that devotion is not found
in the fire of desire.
But something in me leans forward,
pressing against restraint,
pressing into the pulse
that tells me this collision
was always inevitable.
And so we collide-
not with intention,
not with cruelty,
but with the quiet force
of two truths
meeting at the edge of breath.
The sacred and the sensual
do not ask permission,
they do not negotiate,
they simply touch,
and I am left
to reckon with the tremor
long after
the bodies have parted.
I sat ready to take the Entrance Exam
Determined to give it my very best shot
Hoping my answers would get me in
But worried that they may not
I looked around at the others in the room
Already deeply buried in the text
Some quickly scribbling their answers down
While others seemed terribly vexed
One tester yelled, “This isn’t fair”
“These aren’t the questions I studied for!”
I saw two others tear the test in half
And fall crying on the floor
Cheaters caught looking at another’s exam
Where quickly escorted out
I was ready to open my test booklet
Suddenly filled with horrible doubt
I know I got the first question right
“What is your name?”, is all that it read
But I wasn’t prepared for the second one
“When was it that they found you dead?”
I knew then just what this exam was for
And what place I was testing to get in
I took a deep breath, prepared for the worse
And turned the next page to begin
There were no questions about what is in the bible
Or how often to church I went
There were no questions regarding any religion at all
Or how my Sundays I had spent
There were no questions about the Ten Commandments
Or about using God’s name in vain
There were no questions regarding prayers that were said
And no dogma for me to explain
There was just one question in the middle of the page
Answer it truthfully, I knew that I should
I reread that question about twenty times,
“Did you do all the good that you could?”
Suddenly I was awakened by a beeping sound
And a doctor saying, “We’ve got him back”
The Entrance Exam I will have to retake
Because I didn’t die from that heart attack
But now that I had a look at that test
I know what I need to do to be better prepared
So the next time I sit in the Examiner’s room
I can write about all of the people for which I had cared
The truth lies between the pages
Within the relationship the reader journeys through
The thoughts that silence and call you
Truthful relationships with all we go through
Bleeding for me
Bleeding for you
Hearts that become two
Brew it up and make a stew
Piece it together, dancing duaL
Trial and error we all walk through
But not without hope
Within Jesus Salvation is due..
A gift given for free
For those that believe and seek the truth
Man cannot rule.man
So let your father step through
Those commandments became apart of me..
And you
2 Corinth 5:21
What's before 123?

See through the unseen..for that is the mystery
La Dolce Vita Part One
How sweet life is, indeed!
The air we breathe, our nightly rest.
Think back about your very first
steps.
You played games outdoors with
your nose not stuck to a screen.
You romped in the woods ever so
merrily.
Days of conviviality with no fear.
Just endless days and nights
with parents and friends, we held
so very dear.
Life was just beginning for us.
Most of us went to Church and
learned who created the Universe.
We learned the Ten Commandments
that applied to men and women...
one and all.
Our countries stood tall and
proud. We loved our countries
proud of its flag and song.
Leaders were respected not
humiliated or the butt of jokes.
Times horribly transformed..
When God was shown the door
and our country and leaders
we abhor.
The New Bible is the deceitful and
devilish fourth estate,
That has made us hate each other
without reason or debate.
The time has come my friends
To get a grip, return to reality.
Love all and create a new world,
That is ours and for those yet to be.

Hate you for causing me pain, for being a fraud, for being a fake, for being a liar, and all the ways you are unloving and unkind.
Hate you for harming me, for causing me pain that can never be fixed, like a glass that breaks, the pieces of my life are broken and all over the place.
Hate comes in many forms, some hide and cause you pain with their vile words, some use force and cause damage, and others use ways that are hard to pinpoint.
Jesus told us to forgive, for they know not what they do, making us remember that some are lost in a hateful atmosphere.
God told us to love and to be respectful in all we do and follow the Ten Commandments, and that in the end justice will prevail, and we have no worries God is always near.
The feeling of hate can sit on us, placed on us by those that seek to harm us, and we can carry these all through our life, like a heavy weight that is tied around our waist.
So, move carefully and be aware not all are good, and some want to only harm.
May God remove all the hate from our lives and make our lives a living dream.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
Hearken a little bird tweets a turtle dove Whispers
Swimming past my clouded mind ear
God is saying
God is saying
I
Whom am your Father
Father of All creation
I restore the crushed spirit of the humble
And I revive the courage of those with repented hearts
On my personal base-mountain I heard
The burning bush speak of laws
Riddling some based ten commandments
Pure and simple to understand it
God is saying
God is saying I
I whom are your creator all creator
Whom are thine creator
I whom art thy Father
Father of all creation
I restore the crushed spirit of the humble
And I, oh I shall revive the courage of those with repented hearts
This I do in agape love this I do because I am of love
Filled with mercy and Grace to feel the abundant place
I am mercy God I am above hatred
I am mercy God and I challenge sin
I am mercy God and I've already defeated Satan
O' my Lord my God I do be praying
I hear you Father in my heart I see you
As the turtle dove Whispers in my ear still
God is saying God is saying
I I whom are thy Father
Father of all creation
I restored the crush spirit, your crush spirit
You who are humble and I oh
I shall revive the courage of those with repented hearts
You are my love... the repented heart

Isaiah 57:15
In my residence devoid of winter
my mind virtually explores its reality-wonders
thus, with enthralling vicarious experience
I thank God for freedom to imagine
how it is to doze serenely
toward winter slumber
midst assailing below zero temperature
blanketing the room beyond chills…
Here am I persisting to defy coldness
enveloping season of enchanting enigmas
fueled by prayer place
warmed with divine compassion
heralding faith messages from God
hoisting hope*, insulated with fellowship
fiery against ice-kissed isolation…
around knitted family ties
intensified by gestures, verily kind
as love prevails to blossom
bearing fruits after Winter’s leaflessness.
*Psalm 78:7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments.

God* --- omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent
verily reached down to me
offering His friendship and fellowship.
With trust in the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ...
...I am endowed by faith that pleases HIM, all by His grace
Now, my vibrant relationship with HIM keeps on getting sweeter daily
making me affirm His attributes:
His love, indeed redemptive
His mercy, always restorative
His grace, truly rehabilitative
His power, surely constructive
His kindness, greatly palliative
His peace, divinely sedative
His precepts, wisely informative
His goodness, supremely creative
His statutes, clearly declarative
His admonitions, graciously punitive
His testimonies, joyously affirmative
His doctrines, steadfastly effective
His reproofs, compassionately positive
His commandments, authoritatively imperative.
