HEART THAT BELIEVES THE LORD WHO PERFORMS WHAT HE SAYS

Our heart believes the Lord Who performs what He says with His grace
Surely making us obtain favour in His sight, despite our sinfulness’ trace
Indeed, upholding our salvation by His compassion’s brace
Ever kind to accept our worshipful praise.

Our heart believes the Lord Who performs what He says with His goodness
Surely forgiving us of our admitted selfishness
Indeed, accepting our repentant earnestness
Ever merciful to pardon our filthiness.

Our heart believes the Lord Who performs what He says with His guidance
Surely directing us toward His deliverance
Indeed, guarding our decisions against ignorance
Ever authoritative to subdue our arrogance.

Our heart believes the Lord Who performs what He says with His generosity
Surely providing us according to His rich bounty
Indeed, meeting our needs to vanquish poverty and futility
Ever magnanimous to fill our dearth or scarcity.

Our heart believes the Lord Who performs what He says with His gripping
Surely enclosing us inside His care against fright-caused groping
Indeed, warming our spirit around His revival’s wrapping
Ever gentle to soothe our soul of painful hurt’s griping.

Our heart believes the Lord Who performs what He says with His glory
Surely hearing us in our lamenting misery, as well as in our triumphant story
Indeed, attending to our prayer and confession expressing sorry and fury
Ever timely to grant our expected faith-propped victory.

Our heart believes the Lord Who performs what He says with His glow
Surely cheering us by His provisions along blessings’ flow
Indeed, supplying our spiritual fuel against faithlessness-woe
Ever ready to rejuvenate our revival fire from distress’ blow.

The Space Between

I heard the clanging of the gate
As wonder and fear began to reverberate 
The more you opened up, I ran in
Neither of us concerned for where we had been

I had never played without terror
You had never experienced relationship without error
I washed myself in the color of your desire
You warmed your icy heart by my constant fire

I loved the endless nights of laughter
Conversations of understanding about what our hearts were after
The light shone with brilliant blue and radiant red
I hearkened and hung on every word you said

.....creek..........crack.....crap

Time rose up and cracked her whip
She raged and roared with, "What is THIS!?!"
I jumped up and ran, I ran faster than wind
She yelled, "You whore...he's mine, you will NEVER have him!"

My heart longed for that place
OH, just to be in your space, touch your hand....your face
But I kept my distance so that time could make me forget
About love and what it felt like when you lit

......my wet wood, that no one else could
.........get near
.........................touch

Time heals NOTHING!

I saw you after a long span of dreary years
I longed, still, in deep sorrow and invisible tears
You seemed happy to those who wanted to believe
But I saw your naked soul, and vowed to never leave
....the hearth of your heart

You may be married to a companion for life
She may even look like a loyal, obedient wife
But she knows you saw eternity in my eyes
That I saw your truth behind the convenient lies

Every man's heart, if mauled by a she bear
Is hidden behind briers, thorns, and tares
To prevent black widow spiders from feasting on flesh
Without pause or time to rest
.....til she wins

What!?!

No matter what matter lies between us
You are safety and rest, my forever home
You broke all of my defenses
To give me the ring of promise, I will never again, be alone.

Premium Member Revelation of a Stalker

REVELATION OF A STALKER

my daughter brought her stalker date
i watched him closely...my eyes penetrate
like a bloodhound, my nose to heels
he feels my presence in the revolving door

he’d call when she wasn’t home
just to hear my voice upon the phone
i told her to make it very clear
to cut him loose without a tear

he tried to penetrate her heart
to fill the chambers with goosebump art
with saran wrap clarity a mama knows
she follows each precarious footfall

he crept into our night with his stalker coat
the leather long, foreboding weaponry
a stalker tells his tale straight up
“Some people are scared of me”

with a heart of gold, my daughter hearkened
to this mother’s knowledge of good and evil
we stomped out the fire, until it was cold
removed the ash, buried it, eyes shut tight
