Hydrangea Influence

Hydrangea Influence

Pull of gravity drawn on the senses, hydrangea scent
Fragrance bliss, orgasmic burst, flowering forth
Explains beauty one petal at a time in naked white
Flavors come on nasal whiffs in flight
Fragile buds nod to blossoms under the glacial moon 
Delicately delicious invisible friends seen once again
Spread up ahead on garden paths
On wings of spring
Past the river, nature at its best begins
When growing wild in the woods
Blossoms form, born perfect just in time        
Birth of aroma, breath inhales, forgets to let it go                         
Love on the stem and leaves fill up imaginations
Displayed on gray days, nature dances, pollen laughs
Garden mesmerized, on its knees, satiated under breeze
Earth submits, to the tease, seasons color strokes             
Memory knows flowers from the dirt
Moves the Earth to drink it in
Discerning, blown open, flirting with the wind
Without a voice without a sound on softer ground
Spoken only on the breeze in leisure
Tranquil undergrowth abounds     
Honey layered, thick as lust
Purer than a woman’s womb
Thrusting forth perfumes
Hydrangeas fill the need of spring
Shimmer under moon light in naked white
Light up mid night for those who want to know 
Aromas are not allowed to lie in flower beds
They seek out noses on their own and spread
Hydrangeas know exactly what to do 
While filling up exhausted souls, exhaling truth
Before the beauty, love comes first


Premium Member Motives to Confront

Selfish aims in kindness-guise… I dare to confront
As my soul welcomes challenges with hope
Triumphantly while thankful spirit does cope
Surmounting trials of grievous affront.

Targets midst secret deals… I strive to check
As my heart submits to divine truth’s worth
Exposing transgressions against fake mirth
Repenting for pardon that conquers wreck. 

Carnal goals with their deceit… I ought to face
As my mind is illumined by God’s light
With assured vision for heavenly flight
Toward courage to walk tall, blest with grace.

Motives reflecting shame… I need to see
As my faith learns to perceive genuine glow
Against hypocrisy, pride of false show
Living in wondrous love with freedom glee. 

Intents lurking as ghosts… I must not fear
As my Lord assures His presence of peace*
Governed by great wisdom that cannot cease
Securing me while others gladly cheer.

*Philippians 4:7 - And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Premium Member HEART THAT SUBMITS TO THE LORD GOD WHO GIRDS US

August 7 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Isaiah 45-48

Key Verse – Isaiah 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me.

HEART THAT SUBMITS TO THE LORD GOD WHO GIRDS US

Our heart submits to the Lord God Who girds us and our soul’s welfare
For our deliverance from hell’s fire-glare
To give us everlasting life so divinely rare we can share
Letting our praises glow amidst truthfulness’ glare.

Our heart submits to the Lord God Who girds us and our devotion’s delight
For our reaching-out pursuits kindled with His love’s might
To establish us in His gracious goodness so majestically bright
Letting our worship reverberate amidst prayerfulness’ plight.

Our heart submits to the Lord God Who girds us and our spirit’s revival
For our desire toward devoted commitment until Christ’s arrival
To guide us with His tender mercies so abundant over earthly survival
Letting our gratitude reign amidst sacrifices’ upheaval.

Our heart submits to the Lord God Who girds us and our faith’s enrichment
For our determination against worldliness’ entanglement
To usher us to His kingdom so geared upon miraculous advancement
Letting our steps move forward amidst great commission involvement.

Our heart submits to the Lord God Who girds us and our servanthood’s favour
For our dedication filled with persistent fervour
To satisfy us by His rewards so excellently awesome in their flavour
Letting our labour bear fruits amidst contentment-laden savour.

Our heart submits to the Lord God Who girds us and our ministry’s stability
For our direction along His control and sovereignty
To lead us to His will so perfectly holy in its entirety
Letting our character shine amidst honesty and humility.

Our heart submits to the Lord God Who girds us and our stewardship’s productiveness
For our diligence upon standards’ steadfastness
To bless us by His bountifulness so timely in His kindness
Letting our motives be guarded amidst work-driven earnestness.

Premium Member Cerebral Cravings

Too much temptation
Blocking my road to redemption
The devil is good at what he does 
Offering a variety of ways 
To get your buzz
be it the vein or the liver 
satan is one generous giver 
the poison he does deliver 
of daily drops 
for your cerebral mops 
he never misses a beat or a hook 
He is the chief cook 
to bring your fix 
and keep you in the mix 
of your tasty addictive licks 
Yum yum 
why so glum chum? 
So what if your a bum 
I’m still gonna give you some 
just enough to keep you hungry and weak 
I’m cooking up more misery 
As we speak 
anticipation for the meek 
lick your lips 
and lets meet 
have a seat 
and spread an orifice 
I know it’s the fog you miss 
Blind, unaware, and without a care 
My favorite minion without a pair 
Keep sucking the sewage
Of my daily spewage
Till your heart submits
and finally quits 
and rests in my pits 
of the soulless 
and mindless twits 
who never had a chance 
simply because it was failure 
they always wanted to romance 
I love you to pumpkin 
now submit and get in 
I win…..
Next!

Premium Member Beyond Paranormal

Through scientific perspective, they are paranormal
With whimsical understanding, such can be magical
Some philosophers consider those as metaphysical
Unearthly, ethereal, mystical, transcendental… 
But my faith in God declares miracles, supernatural.

Biblical creation exposes omnipotence of the Almighty
Forming something out of nothing, producing great beauty
While sustaining the universe as well as its majesty
To others… such is paranormal certainty
Yet my trust in the Lord accepts the facts of divine reality. 

Scriptures’ revelation of divine historical blessing
Genesis’ flood and its aftermath events’ pressing
Exodus’ narration of Red Sea land-crossing…
Though paranormal in finite minds’ appraising
They affirm my confidence in the Creator I’m praising.

How about Christ’s incarnation?
Especially His resurrection and ascension??
Showing power to calm storm against malfunction???
Feeding multitudes with supplies’ production????
Beyond paranormal are they… highlighting God’s action!!!

Cognizant of miracles beyond human understanding
My spirit submits to my Master of wise leading
To HIM believing, grateful to His compassionate guarding
Surpassing the paranormal with His care, bountifully exceeding*
While reaching-out by His love constantly extending.

*1Timothy 1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

My Words

Sometimes my poetry is just a case of words, 
and not necessarily my reality;                                     
and that’s what is so beautiful about writing

You can be who you want to be on any level 
and tell secrets about fantasies that may never be;  
or take trips to other dimensions on mental journeys,                                                                        or places that some don’t even think exist

They mimic thoughts that manifest themselves as poetry 
and rest on pages patiently waiting to adhere
My words are a reflection of my heart 
and they reveal the truth behind my mask of fear
they deliver reality doses  whether they are just cases, 
or me in the absolute right here

My words exude positive intentions; 
my imperfections apparent but I accepted rejections 
and reversed dejection  
and decided to bare all my fantasies, my flaws my very soul 
and temptations

Uncertain how voiced verses appeal to outside sources but internally they set me free
They provide a medium of light and creativity
A chance to apply knowledge and a time for reflecting on and making changes in my frequency
My words are attached to my soul and its overwhelming ability to just be
They reflect what I was before         
the choices I’ve made and the reasons that this life is perfect 
according to divine order

They represent the voices of my ancestors from the beginning of time 
because up until now, 
the ending wasn’t within reach so I make sure that I
carefully choose the format and the right place and time 
to deliver the message that may be blatant or hidden inside – 
of the abstract placements of verbs
giving praise to the source of power that calmly submits to the voice 
connected to my words
I am the originator of my own words
I hope that you are inspired, or simply entertained
by the process by which I've placed my words

The Waiting Game

The back room
of creation
where much of life
is spent

Victim to 
the waiting game
where doldrums
reinvent

All dressed up
and ready
with nowhere
clear to go

Waiting for
that flash of light
to put me
— in the know

*****

Reality Preying

Not killing
time
Time killing
him
The hourglass
drains
As life
grows thin

Slaying the
dragon
A fantasy
still
Reality 
preying
On folly
— distilled

*****


Stepping Out

More than a
lifetime
Unmeasured
by years
Enlightenment
prospers
No doubting
or fear

Stepping out
of the circle
And into the
light
Dimension
is truant
With reference
— contrite

*****

One Slip

Life
on the edge
where finality
threatens
Hope
meets disaster
both tightening
their grip

Never
look down
with redemption
above you
One slip
and the promise
 of glory
— submits

*****


Darkness Retreating

Writing
to a standard
new standards
are drawn
Light
disinfecting
a bevy
of wrongs

Writing
to a standard
the truth
is upheld
Darkness
retreating
deception
— expelled

*****

To Bask In Its Presence

Writers
have a double edged
courtship with time
Cutting both ways
past and future
defined

But the moment’s
unwritten
unspoken unrhymed
To bask in its
presence
— you live it sublime

Premium Member Rope Play

Under cold lights, dark air and the still, 
All is quiet, nothing spoken no sound, 
Hangs the softest of rope from the hardest of beams, 
Hanging in a straight sort of proud,

Reaching right down to the black and white rose, 
The rose standing ready for more,
To raise her like a dancer in the moment of yield, 
And display like a trophy of war,

And her hands are bound tight, legs are tied back, 
Shoulder, head and hips cannot moan,
And her hair is secured out of the way, 
She hangs defenceless and naked and owned,

She lives for the love of these cold vivid nights, 
Obeys what the rope will demand,
She relishes the play of losing control, 
When she submits to her dominant man.

Premium Member My Sister's Account Of Me


We spent twenty two long years together
under the same roof, so, I know him better than others,
for he’s my only brother.

On his own terms his life he walks brave,
setting the course on the pathway he likes to pave.
Probing nameless people uncalled, he may descry
break the fence of his protected privacy and pry,
ask incisive questions to slice his persona, they try.
He doesn’t ever care to reply.

In his heart sunk in the quicksand of time weary,
emotions rise from the dormant passion’s debris.
The good done to him he can’t acknowledge loud,
but buds of love blooming within, he keeps under shroud.
Mellow sensitivity absorbs all his feelings inarticulate,
he is overwhelmed, but doesn’t know how to demonstrate. 

A deviant introvert, he seldom submits to others’ decree,
until he finally sleeps he’ll do what to do with will free.
He’s content with little, grateful for god’s blessings plenty.

Premium Member Green Men

As you walk

without hesitation

without gratitude

Seemingly,

without fear 

As you walk

back to your place
of power and privilege


You still
require her to smile


As you walk
past the place of humanity,
brokenness


shrill echoes
of shattered glass
 

You still
require her to smile


As you walk
back to your place
of power and privilege


Her silent screams
and muffled dreams
are washed away

By the vault of indifference
that slams behind you

she is resigned
to a slow sifting
hourglass of isolation


Yet

you still

require

her to smile
 

She wearies
of the preparation
of submission

a mask that suffocates,

her pretense of desire


But she is

the
 
entertainment,

the 

meal,

the

pleasure,


the plaything


Her belly aches of
raw foie gras, figs
and Bergerac


It no longer matters
that her soul
is absent from this feast


  
She gathers her body
stained and sweaty
from your momentary
remembrance of her

The violation
puddles
in quiet places

She submits
to a place 
of self-loathing


She knows

that

this

is not

the last

of green men

that will require her to smile
