Premium Member Rare God-Places

Am I a waiter or a warrior, a visionary, or wall watcher?
Am I a strategist or fighting activist?

Sometimes, I feel that I'm just a nesting dove.
Perhaps at any given season, I'm all the above.

If we care enough to share in the intimate places with
God, we must dare to breathe that great and rare air of God.         .                                                

Come with me to a world of questions and mysteries.
Allow me to muse my way into some unpleasant places;

Places of craving for the face of God but finding no trace.
I speak not of people wearing holy halos or holy Joes.

I'm talking about Ordinary Mary and Everyday John going about
Their routine lives with a longing desire for a God-centered life.

You may not concur; yours may be a different world,
Or perhaps you've never ventured into the murky waters

Of your soul as have I.  Anyway, this place is real.
On occasions, my soul longs to see, to hear, to feel,

To touch and be touched, to sense and taste God
In unusual, yet Biblical ways. That longing, that deep                             

desire of which I speak is not always or should I say, is seldom 
reciprocated.  It could also be that I get distracted and fail to                     

recognize God's reply. Am I making sense so far, or am I stranded
On an island alone?  Anyway, the sign I long to see is a 'no show',

And it seems that God hides himself from me, for my good of course.
It's when the voice, the sounds I expect to hear are not there or so faint    

and distant as to not be useful.  Or when God is silent, or so it seems. Or       
when I do not feel Him or His Presence, and/or in fact, none of my sensory 

faculties are in tune sufficiently to benefit. My best guess is that we are in "a trust only zone" where we feel at our lowest, but in  reality, there is that side 

of us being informed that we are experiencing our finest hour.  I tell you, this
present muse was inspired by a conversation last night with close  friends. 

We concluded that we, whether dove or warrior, are always benefactors of   his love because God is faithful, and in His time, he makes all things beautiful.

Premium Member Ode to Erato

Ode to Erato

“Hear, hear!” What’s this poppycock all about?
“Get rid of St. Valentine’s Day… you say — I say naught!”
Brave Britannia, are we losing our faculties?
I’d give my life for God, king, and country,
but to give up St. Valentine’s Day? “Preposterous!”

A night with Erato is an experience like no other.
Painfully erotic, overwhelming, and barbaric,
or tenderly smothering, so Oedipal complex,
as passion guides your heart’s desire in words.
'Tis to die satisfied, knowing the utmost pleasure.

So, to this chicanery, I say, let us sing
out in an overture, from soprano high to basso low,
with mid-range baritone in between,
to fragile Eros’s joy in avoiding Chronos’s eye,
and follow Erato and not be dismayed by Thanatos,
but let the sexes engage intimately
in the propagation of the species.

Kama Sutra

Kama sutra

The Sanskrit ancient text on making love,
the seductive motions to reach bliss from all above.
Rhymes and verses revealing hundredfold suggestions,
the divinity of making love and no more questions.
This poetical sentiment of romance is the immortal ‘halo’, shinning bright,
natures law versus societies moral dilemma, how to get it right.
Fragile emotions and receptive speculations in consideration,
the intimacy of values creating trust and emotional liberation.
Those erotic description should never be followed blindly,
the tantra book of ecstasy need be taken kindly.
Mental foreplay as creative imagination,
playful possibilities in reservation.
Those perceptual faculties have its reasons for sure,
energizing the elements of fire to alter the physical body, much to endure.
Consider the energy of fire as troublesome and dangerous,
causing conflict and even injuries as cause.
The causal body holds the underlying will and motivation,
the inherited vital potential by heart contemplation.
A change of thought and intention creates a different attribute,
a free flow of intellectual attitude. 
The vital energy of fire is the preserver of health,
establishing resistance to disease as wealth.
Those who can control the sexual fire energy,
have the ability to manipulate the kundalini.
The popular Yoga evolution show all possibilities,
colorful blending to natures peaceful gentleness.
The wise person by the power of will,
refines healing properties to a skill.
By giving the spark of fire,
the right intentions to admire.
That the gentle act of intimacy is a sacred sphere,
in which the mental fireworks should be given the credit they deserve.
Happy endings are the in-ul-timate, of the story,
and moral dilemmas have lost all its worry.

Premium Member Let Us Learn From the Parable of the Talents

Entrusted by God with various talents*
Being loved with His goodness’ opulence
Of compassion poured around His Words’ hedge…
Let’s obey Him thru His will’s providence.

Granted by God with great inheritance 
As His redeemed by His wonderful grace
Along faculties to make us useful...
Let’s serve Him as stewards who give Him praise.

Blessed by God with His spiritual wellness
Assured with heavenly wealth-endowment
For faithful service marked by diligence…
Let’s involve in His kingdom-advancement.

Called to follow God’s divine procedures
Led by His voice away from destruction 
With His warnings expressed by the Bible…
Let’s practice wise resources’ consumption.

Privileged to enjoy God’s promises
Along His wondrous presence of delight
While drawn to Him in prayer fellowship...
Let’s render our best with faith's utmost might.

*Matthew 25:22  He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

Twinkle Twinkle My Little Miracle

Trigger warning ?????? miscarriages mentioned 


Twinkle twinkle my little miracle 

You'd have been six or maybe even seven 
Is that so terrible or simply ignorance is Bliss 
These aren't dates I tend to try and recall not because of you,
No not at all just the loss was so god damn awful, I often think of you as you were my little miracle,
A precious parcel sent down by a whomever is the Pinnacle,
Whoever is the Giver but also remember the take of life, 
I just wish he'd opted to not bestow upon me such an agony filled life,
I was told very young a family was unlikely to be, 
I knew there was a possibility that I may always only be an auntie,
Apparently I screamed when they told me the news that day 
That memory doesn't resonate in my mind,
What does is everything going numb,
You find yourself just staring away,
But in a few days that went away, 
However what's left is this hole that's been nored away bit by bit out of your heart,
It's as if someone's shaking you awake without the faculties you need to stop yourself from falling apart, 
Nothing ever fills that hole you know believe me I've tried,  
There's always a yearning maybe a gap will always reside, 
Now you were clinically medically just a little precious diamond twinkle, 
So people will no doubt ridicule and call me delusional,
Or crazy, ridiculous I could literally list every label, 
But I don't care because my heart has never again been a full muscle,
Maybe it's so your diamond light can twinkle through and serve as a memory,
That for a split second in time you made me the happiest and richest mommy there could be,
Although you never made it here to meet me 
Because you were my shooting twinkling star a one in a million my little miracle, 
I think I'd prefer to remember you like this on your anniversary, 
Than to keep recalling the horror, the pain of the days tragedy,
Who knows maybe in time it will serve as a remedy and maybe not just for me, 

Regardless of what week or what stage you have a miscarriage it is still the loss of your twinkling miracle,
Who gave you the happiness of being a mummy or Daddy, even if only briefly, it was real for you, Just like it was real for me too.

Premium Member Fear of the Unknown

Fear Of The Unknown

That sudden unknown, so unrevealing, 
it's the tell-tale trademark of the one in question 
as it sets off nerves in every-which-way, 
plainly creeping aimlessly neath our epidermis.

Shock-waves traipse, recruiting ghostly minions to crawl hither,
steeping the fleshy folds with squirming eels marinade,
forever slithering downward and chilling our brittle bones,
while simultaneously causing us to gnash our pearly whites.

Until we came upon the realization,
that what had truly manifested itself,
was a self-induced fear that was so absorbing,
it had overwhelmed the mind in consuming anxiety,
losing control of our mental faculties,
proffering it free-will to buildup theoretical obsessions,
and alternate concessions.

Premium Member Happy Birthday To Me

My back is hurting and my knees are shot
I hate the stairs and can’t get up from a squat
I’ve got arthritis and my vision’s blurred
I have one drink and my speech gets slurred

My kids are grown and my youth is gone
My bladder is full long before dawn
I peed twice last night, it was not a thrill
I wake up every morning to a handful of pills

It’s been half a century and it’s gone by fast
I now pray for my hips and faculties to last
My hair has turned grey and old I am
I can no longer hear worth a tinker’s dam

My golden years are now coming into view
I’ve lost some of my teeth and it’s a struggle to chew
My prostate is enlarged and it’s getting tough to pee
Another year of torture, Happy Birthday to me
