Premium Member Lunar Laughs

Dreaming esteeming despite reality’s limitations 
Red rendezvous with you like a blank bank check
Our rainbow love so fluid like confetti celebration
So unique so mystique a heart sparks is blessed 

Your solar smile stays hot wild 
melting any dilemma
We planted a love garden by the Nile 
despite nights crisp nights in November 

I notice you are in a lavender mood
No naysayers can dampen your day
Even when you get denim blues
You lighten loads with fuchsia faith

To love you is to try and consume
The freeness of a boisterous breeze
That rises like a hot balloon in June
Never deflates or escapes from me

I day dream of your kiss of steam
You touch my soul creating growth
Inspiring silver song and poetry
With you my life feels whole and gold

Embraces lace our bodies uniting ebonies
Creating cranberry future from the past
I giggle from your nibbles so sweet
Your response to carryon with lunar laughs

I am like sun you are like moon
We are celebrating our sky love
Like Lillie’s so thrilling smiles bloom
Turquoise touch never get enough 

Yes we be that power couple
Lasting longer despite challenges
We have love enough to double
Flexible to facilitate the balances

dredged by mother nature pre  
     pared within each trough and crest only
for thy fiercely weatherbeaten nee,

tough as rawhide, leathery, 
     chafed skin to me
not surprising, since 
     this mariner born, bred and near lee
schooled within 

     briny deep ever since knee
high (or so he claimed truth 
     to swirling rumor), jovialy
pleased that his purportedly

     NEVER settn' foot in formal classroom, 
     his knowledge icy
anecdotes aced, surpassed, 
     and trounced that of what he
referred to as grenadier landlubbers 

     green behind the ears – glee

     one colored green like a spring day in the country,

Premium Member Grateful am I to You, Lord

Dear Lord, Almighty...
You be honoured for Your grace 
enabling servant-heart attitude
emanating from submissive and grateful spirit
helping me to be the steward striving to do Your will
as You keep on drawing me nigh to Your heart
esteeming You above all else...

My God, thank You for showing
how long suffering* You are toward me
though I appear arrogant and unyielding…
Please constantly teach my heart 
of humility’s virtue, righteously rewarding
as genuinely exemplified by Christ, the Saviour 
Who yielded Himself sacrificially, with love so exceeding.  
Thus, I seek Your meekness-grace drive; 
help me bear --- for Your sake,
every act I perceive as condescending!

My Saviour, Your long suffering for me
highlights Your merciful compassion at work
notwithstanding my service that’s unacceptable…
Kindly correct my soul against prayerlessness
and faith’s increase-failure due to vanity-stumble
for me to progress in Your holy kingdom’s pursuit
making my servanthood fruitfully favourable.
Hence, I need Your power’s fortitude; 
empower me --- to live for Your glory
as Your Spirit does move my being!

*Exodus 34:6 …The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth.

Please remind me of Your love with Your redemption-granting.

Lord God, You are my heart Checker 
against helpless fretting and worrying
Thank You for helping me overcome struggles of futile wearying
Surely counselling my mind from faith-swaying…
Please develop me toward Christlikeness while in You I’m staying.

Lord God, You are my heart Checker 
against wrong choice of treading
Thank You for instilling in me Your precepts for gracious guiding
