Premium Member Start Knowing Joy

Start now knowing joy,
that’s an order,
overcome a deepening solitude.

Like a bee at a bugle
or me at the deli
on Third Avenue.

I said to Joe when do you think this weather will break?
He jokes, April. 
That’s no joke. Weak creatures die and the strong barely survive.

Half a year goes by
another cancer checkup.
Cheer up. Any weather’s 

better than no weather at all.
There’s always governance
even when there is no government.

My candidate drops out
after Iowa. Why do I always lose
at politics and poker?

Peace at last!
No lawnmowers, no leafblowers.
Big comfy couch.

Meditate on this: Do what has to be done.
Find your lover gazing at the moon
and take your garbage to the dump.

Your web site evaporates
and your possessions are thrown in the dumpster
except your trumpet which finds its way to a future trumpeter.

Premium Member Waiting for the Sun

This season seems to last forever.
Seems spring will never reappear.
Seems everyone is just waiting for the sun
But it’s not here…
All I recall is nasty weather
It is so hard to persevere.
All I have done is sit here waiting for the sun
But it’s not here…

It seems I’ve lost my sense of wonder
Trying to overcome my fear
I don’t want to run, I am waiting for the sun
But it’s not here…
Despair is trying to pull me under.
I cannot shake my spirit clear.
Spring just hasn’t sprung, I am waiting for the sun
But it’s not here…

	Is dawn on its way? Will I ever see the day?
	Or is darkness all that I will ever see?
	Looking for some light in this never-ending night.
	Is this how it’s always going to be?

This season cannot last forever…
Soon spring will have to reappear.
Just like everyone, I am waiting for the sun
But it’s not here…
I am so tired of nasty weather
Not much to do but persevere.
It’s not much fun sitting, waiting for the sun
When it’s not here…

Dilemma

Dilemma 

Losing the present pleasures 
I am searching the past land marks
Avoiding the real ways
I am waking with the shadows
What is my search? and what is my  need? 
It is my way to find answer to my quest
Many palaces may be in my way  but
 my home is a simple hut
There may be many lights all along my way but
But my eyes are in an endless  dark
What  can I do? and How to overcome this
It is my struggle and it is my game
My hands are playing sword with shadows
though my real enemy is in front of me
Am I a  tough? or soft in nature? and 
Am I a brave or coward to meet my wars? 
I have asked this to my Guiding light
I will get a reply from His milky way.

Overcome It and Come Out the Other End

Were going through life trying to do our best

But pain and suffering deviate us from our quest

Faith is not something you should lack

We just need some guidance to keep us on track

Don’t keep us waiting looking up and guessing

Send us down your everlasting love and blessing

We go to church because we are at a loss

We see him there before us on a cross

We fall to our knees to say a prayer

In hope that heaven is listening and will care

We cry for help with for someone to hear it

The only ones that matter are the father the son and the holy spirit

We need to thank you in so many ways

All you want from us in return is some well deserving praise

You give us a test to teach us how to learn and mend

To overcome it and come out the other end

Mother Love

She faught for his happiness, 
Then forget about her life's darkness.
She faught for bringing back his kindness, 
Then forgot about her own wildness. 

She taught him to laugh more & more,
Then she talked about herself rare and rare.
She taught him to see beauty in me, 
Then she talked about herself in free. 

She found a way to love world, 
Then lost a way to her own swirled. 
She found a way to forgive people easily, 
Then lost a way to herself breezily.

She surround a way to help others, 
Then lost a way to open her own feathers. 
She surround a way to overcome bad days,
Then lost a way to feel what people says. 

Her sacrifices are unbeatable,
Only greatness word is not suitable.
She has a pure soul, 
But need some love to become his whole.

Premium Member I Am the Light Now Come Into the World

I am the light now come into the world.
Whoever follows keeps me in his sight,
Thus has the light that shines, the life within;
The darkness does not overcome the light.

Whoever comes will hunger nevermore;
This manna's sweetened with a bit of leaven.
For whoever believes shall never thirst;
I am the bread of life come down from heaven.

Your much-loved father, Abraham, rejoiced,
Was glad to know that he would see my day,
For before Abraham was, yet I am:
Eternal, ageless, same as yesterday.

No one comes to the Father but through me;
I am the way, the truth, the life of men.
If you had known me, you would know him too;
And now you know and also have seen him.

I am the door; I am the narrow gate,
And those who enter find a pasture fair.
The thief just comes to steal, destroy, and kill;
I came for life abundant and to spare!

I am the shepherd who lays down his life,
Unlike the hired hand, these lambs, my own.
I know the wolf has come to scatter them;
To find the lost, I'll leave no unturned stone.

I know my own; my own also know me,
And sheep not of this fold likewise, my voice.
The Father knows I'd die to save his sheep;
I lay my life down, take it up by choice.

My Father dresses; I am the true vine.
Abide in me; apart, all growth will cease.
He takes away the ones that will not bloom;
Fruit-bearing branches, prunes, so they increase.

I am the resurrection and the life;
He who believes in me, although he dies,
Again shall live, and in abundance now.
Through faith, enjoined with me, the dead shall rise.

The light, the bread, the way, the truth, the life,
The gate, the vine, the shepherd from above:
These give an understanding of the Son,
But most of all, he's God's great gift of love.

Premium Member IN THE SEA OF LIFE AND THE SANDS OF TIME



IN THE SEA OF LIFE AND THE SANDS OF TIME

As the sun continues to rise,
As the moon continues to wane and wax,
Here I am, continuing to wave on
The wrinkling sea of life, streaming to its shores,
To froth and seep deep into the waiting sands of time;
Here to canvas clanging conch-like echoing footprints:-

As the sun continues to set and rise
And as the waters of the sea of life continue
To evaporate to freshly, freely rise again,
I likewise, continue to fall asleep and rise again
In the circadian rhythms of time’s clocking
Of the ebb and flow of my mission-purpose: poetic
Cistern-sharing of divine wisdom, guidance, and love:-

Once experienced deserts of oasis have had their day,
And are now overcome valleys of the shadows of death;
I now know that where love is there’s peace and no fear of fear:-
And though I’ve had storms in life’s sea, I’ve sailed them, Paul-like
And I’m now on the shores of time, breathing God’s breath of wisdom:-
As the sun continues to rise and set, and the moon likewise wane and wax,
I shall continue to pour out clanging echoes to my fellow poets like all of you:-

Premium Member FAITH IN GOD WHO BEHOLDS OUR AFFLICTION

August 28 Faith in God Bible Meditations Based on Lamentations 1-3
Key Verse – Lamentations 1:9 … O LORD, behold my affliction: for the enemy hath magnified himself.

FAITH IN GOD WHO BEHOLDS OUR AFFLICTION	

God beholds our affliction midst His compassion
He is ready to help us against doubt-caused oppression
We then must trust Him with heavenly vision
By faith that settles us along His timely provision.

God beholds our affliction midst His goodness
He is near to draw us toward His graciousness
We then must seek Him and His righteousness
By faith that upholds us for our walk of holiness.

God beholds our affliction midst His caring
He is kind to comfort us from fear’s tearing
We then must come to Him for His covering
By faith that nurtures us upon His Scriptural gearing.

God beholds our affliction midst His security
He is loving to protect us against infirmity
We then must depend on Him for His authority
By faith that works in us to serve Him with sincerity.

God beholds our affliction midst His guidance
He is wise to teach us to overcome ignorance
We then must learn from Him without arrogance
By faith that disciples us along diligent perseverance.

God beholds our affliction midst His light
He is victorious to make us win against transgressions’ blight
We then must abide in Him, showing spiritual delight
By faith that delivers us against unbelief’s fight.

God beholds our affliction midst His warning
He is pure to cleanse us from our confessed sinning
We then must submit to Him for sanctification and cleaning
By faith that testifies about His kingdom of triumphant reigning.

Premium Member Fiction

What beliefs within that do you define
the adversary's lies or Gods Truth divine
like a child absorbed what you've been taught
have you examined the things that are thought

In the stronghold of your heart and mind
the vast majority of information you will find
is designed to impair accurate thinking
because six thousand years of deceit are drinking

The Word of Truth is made for our correction
to tear down the the entanglements of defection
to expose corruption and self deception
the barriers and veil to the Father connection

People believe in angels but seem to forget
that the armies of Lucifer are still here yet
a deceiver and lies are his pathways
to deaden hearts where clouded thinking stays

Is the easter bunny a truth or lie
and when children grow up and do ask why
in the Truth of God they haven't believed
because like a fairy tale it is received

Just another story as it's understood
like the fables to show evil and good
that the outcome and end can't be serious
because they believe the Truth is mysterious

The paths of Truth lay within simplicity
and it's clarity does overcome lies duplicity
Gods Kingdoms children and such like ones
speak a single Truth not Babylon's tongues

Like the fiction of fairy tales lies reside
in religious doctrine whitewashed graves hide
by pomp and pageantry Jesus teaching denied
and the indoctrination of demons Gods Word belied

Fiction upon fiction are children fed
so like those tales Gods Truth made dead
why take it seriously when one is grown
all stories end happily in heaven is shown

What is important is what they get now
for death doesn't exist for eternal soul anyhow
Beliel and Satan and prophetic prediction
they can just chalk it up as another fiction

One cannot teach lies and be a spiritual Jew
by teaching of Jesus can only speak what is True
to be a Son of God with all lies must brake
for Holy Spirit must heart and mind remake

The Word of God should affect all reason
and clean out all thoughts that to God are treason
Jesus may have died to save all from sin
but that won't help if not reborn within

Behold I am coming quickly says He that is True
to cleanse the earth and make all things new
broad the path to destruction those chosen few
they have believed Gods Word and whats holy renew

Premium Member In the Midst of Summers Sin

Of the distance, 
beauty appeared at peace, calmly resting. 
Proximity grew closer to this human figurine; 
lengthy legs painted in ocean blue jeans.
The thesis statement to male's eyes in dreams.

But those legs...
Those legs were the topic of my eyes
Pupils conversing in-between her inner thighs
The rhetorical tongue eager to submit beneath sun rise
Thickened bridled muscle strengthens to rise
I mean d*** Oh me! Oh myy!

Oooo wee such a beautiful sexy queen.
Envisioning, 
If at current, her faucet is running. ..
Slow-ly d
                 r
               I
                 p
                    p
                 I
             n
                g or simply leak-ing
So the fleshes hydration can be full-filling.
Muscles within muscles while warm liquid falling?
Can we start engaging?

Lips connect; gently kissing... (Pause)

But the guiltiness in the minds eye began interrupting
Spirit intervening
Muscles deflating
Suddenly,  no tempting to the extent of no lusting
Corrective vision restoring
Walking through the escape door from fornicating...whew!

As the moon tiptoes in
Eyes close and knees bend
The darkened closet within
Praying to overcome this certain sin
That I indeed struggle in
And that I may be born again
This I pray, from day to day...Amen
