Desire

IF I could make maize grow in a desert
Then that power I possess by your will,
That which can make static air become wind,
That which can cause trees swing side by side.
If I feel down and out right now,
It is that I am not living by your shadow
For when I walk in your shadow I feel my heart serene,
It gives me strength to walk on, to live

THE moment I stray far from you,
I come face-a-face with my enemies I fear,
I meet straight out with devastation,
I discover that all green grass is brown-scorched
And flowers of yesterday have drooped in the sun
As if sulking as in suffering from a cold;
The mountain appears massive and strange
And I speculate: alone who can craft a mountain?
The flash I drift far from you,
The sea ripples with fumed waves and iced storms
As if it is a combat zone for warring nations

WHEN I struggle with you in my soul,
I get upset and my essence sheds tears
Not of hate, but of my incredible love for you,
I am derisory and without you am dead
For I cannot have sane mind-set anymore,
I feel like a man who died two centuries ago.
I cannot lope far from you as your shadow is ample
And it has unsullied, piercing eyes
That can see anything veiled and exposed;
I cannot talk sick of you my superior,
Your sharp ear resembling that of a wild hare
Hears the lot I whisper, you are amazing
I will not think perverse of you
Since you already know what I think,
You know when I am faking at you.

SO by your shadow I shall subsist,
It is not momentary like that of human beings,
Even when the sun is out of the array
And when the moon has botched as often,
Your shadow still shall be felt universally,
Though it can never be seen by man;
By your shadow I shall live
And my heart and soul I shall wholly give you
As a token of my sky-love for you my grace.
What else can I give you other than my heart?
Other than my passionate true love?


Premium Member Jesus Is My Rock

(serpentine chain) 


Jesus is my salvation I just know 
Know that my soul in Him is always safe 
Safe from everything that's out there 
There, with Him, I can always find a safe place 
Place where no one or anything can ever hurt me 
Me, under His loving protection I want to dwell on 
On and on, I only want Him to be my Guiding Light 
Light, His light always comes into my heart from His everlasting love 
Love for you and me He has, everyday and night 
Night and day I shall always worship His Holy name 
Name O His precious name, lives in my heart and I'll forever praise Him 
Him, Jesus is my Rock, the only one, I want to follow and serve all my life!

Revival of the Heart

Revival of the Heart 

Oh, how the trials of this world are never ending.
To cast off, afar and descending.

Oh, how the  heart weighs when there is a heavy load to bear.
Wishing  to make the load lighter with someone to share.

Only to wish for love that would last forever
Grasping onto hope; and in the end to endeavor.

Searching for something to hope onto.
That doubt would be less and reliance would be true.

Oh, how the soul feels forsaken and sad.
Searching and grasping for the love that  I once had.

Always feeling dejected and of little importance.
Basing life on every little circumstance.

There is a true reliance  and a perpetual love.
That is promised from the Holy Father above.

Cross of Calvary

Christ is my Savior,
In Him I take my stand.
Death shall not change my behavior,
For eternal life is pierced in His Hand.

Through the valley of deadly shadows,
I shall carry His Sword in my sheath
His compassion dwells inside my window,
His Word of Truth breathes deep beneath.

In his blood lives the Spirit of Salvation,
From His Heart streams the most divine love.
I rejoice in the covenant for forgiveness above damnation,
It is the only way I could reach Heaven above.

And even though my cross makes me weep and weary,
With lashes to my heart making life heavier.
I will hold fast, for in the Cross of Calvary,
Christ became my Savior.

Sisters In Arms

Sisters in Arms
You don’t have to like me 
And respect, like trust is earned.
Not everyone likes everyone 
Is something that i’ve learned
You can talk behind my back 
If it makes you feel good
Sneer at things i do and say
While on your lips judging smile play
But in my hardened shoes
I’d like to see you walk a mile
You’ve no idea the life i’ve lived
Or the cuts my heart has felt
No clue the hand life’s dealt
To me these same things you could say
And you would surely be right
The difference is i don’t treat you
As though you were beneath my sight
I don’t laugh at you and say those things
That make you cry at night
Not righteous is my heart or soul
I’ve made my own mistakes
At times i’ve hit the gas 
When i should have hit the breaks
But when i see the hurt and pain 
You’ve felt  throughout your life
My eyes tear up and my heart weeps 
To know of all that strife
I don’t look down on you 
Or pretend i have the right to judge
And when you need someone to talk
I’ll give a gentle nudge
But for now i’ll forgive 
I know you’re hurting too  
I won’t pretend to know the hand
That life has dealt to you

To Walk Alone

To walk alone without  a friend or a foe is to live a life alone. How do I achieve such 
task which is impossible when human do exist. Do I look through them as a picture 
window or transparent object. To walk alone is to be a woman on an island without 
a soul. How do I achieve the impossible when my heart is desperate to walk solo. 
Can I irradiate humans just to achieve my desire or do I give avert eyes as human beings pass me by. To walk alone, where there are so many homospiens where ever I go  is to look but not to see -  therefore, I will and must walk alone with my heart and eyes close.

Goodbye Miss

The day of my fifteenth anniversary is here
The dawn in all its glory is near
The promise for a second honeymoon
My excited heart has started to croon
Expectantly I turn towards him
And see him all dressed in cream
He gives me a kiss
And says goodbye miss
Tears spring to my eyes
The hope within dies
I knew he had forgotten
Fate is really rotten
I passed so many tests
Our marriage was the best
The first flush of love has died
Now life seems to be tied
Alone I drink a toast to the two of us
It is not my nature to fuss
But tender heart is torn to shreds
I let the wine go to my head

The Struggle Within

The Struggle Within
A lonely heart sits and waits
Seconds tick and time abates
Each day passes in s blink
All i do is sit and think
Of all the things i could have done
Away from life i tried to run
Knowing there is sunshine around the bend
Waiting for my soul to mend
Never giving up the hope
Fighting against the slippery slope
My footing stumbles
The mountain crumbles
Trying to knock me down
Each step i take toward the top
Something my path does block
Struggling to push on
Knowing that my heart is strong
I see the light up ahead
Less struggle to get out of bed
Faith around the corner lies
A new tomorrow, brighter skies
The goal i seek is now insight
Push the sadness from my mind
Dropping now the ties that bind
My heart is lighter
Inside my soul sparks a fire
Leaving behind the words of a liar
My life is my own
I’ve fought long and hard
Finally time for my journey to start

Premium Member The Right One

When you are twenty
   You feel your heart burst.
You think you're in love,
   This time's your first.

But time moves on
   And you fall out of love.
You meet someone else
   Who must be sent from above.

More meaningful now
   Than when you were younger.
Your heart beats harder
   And it feels like thunder.

But time once again
   Changes how you feel.
You have new doubts,
   Is this one for real?

The cycle plays out
   Over years and years.
Excruciating happiness
   Followed by tears.

"Til one day, unexpected,
   You look up and find
The one who touches you heart
   Also touches your mind.

And now you know
   That this is the one.
The rest never mattered
   They were just there for fun.

When you're about ready
   To swear off them all
Along comes the right one
   To answer the call.

Never give up,
   Hold out for the best.
Take time to find true love
   And pass on the rest.

Other than my passionate true love?
