Villains

I sit, as I am embraced by madness,
waiting, as the waves cascade like sadness,
spilling over me, drowning the darkness,
I have found the light, though it’s lifeless.

It’s my mess, now as I’ve grown older,
I was born into this to live never sober,
for once you’re over a certain lesson,
you dream to be warmer, in a world that keeps getting colder.

I was lonely, looking for directions,
the skies stayed silent, falling to temptations,
as he walked right behind, whispering salvation,
just as he had before, to every ruler of every nation.

See, my insecurities exploited by many people,
my soul strangled, by cultures and ego’s,
my heart scorched, by vultures and evil,
so I turned and shook his hand.

He could see I couldn’t stand,
so he showed me needed mercy,
let me breathe, from all the people who had come to hurt me,
he fed the thirsty.

All he asked for in return,
is to never eat again, unless it’s earned,
to turn my back on people, who don’t deserve,
to forget about deceitful and walk this Earth,
with a little love for me, for he too was cursed,
and had nobody there too when he too was burned.

Premium Member In love and in you, lunar wings fade like spectral silver gliding gently

In love and in you, lunar wings fade like spectral silver gliding gently,
In the dark abyss of an obsidian sky, refracting dreams of a lost realm,
Sliding and undulating through opalescent glass, like a window hiding truths,
Sprinkled with pearl dust on your hidden face, between curved lines and lips of longing.
Like Selene floating on red waves in a shining chariot with sparks of citrine,
Woven with flames dancing in the night. I challenge you to follow the silent traces
Of words forgotten by time, for they are the key that unlocks gates of light.
And when dusk falls over your trembling silhouette, the moon whispers to you again.
About loneliness etched in the void that reverberates in a deaf silence,
Without questions or answers, without winds to wrap you in warmth,
Without colors to soothe the cold, without stars to sew the heavy silence,
Return to the crescent moon hammock that emanates the gold of eternal peace.
A hummingbird's heart, lost in the feathered horizon, turn back to the twilight,
To taste the temptations hidden in the mysterious and tender crepuscular light,
Let your soul kiss the hot tips of the sun setting smoothly,
You are the master of the moon, the artist painting the air with divine acrylic hues.
The weaver of fragrant dawns preceding the storms gathering on the vast sky,
We, the immutable poets, silently implore the awakening of your sleeping consciousness,
To mold you, to create you, to return you to your purest and most vivid form,
As you rise like the pulse of a dragon released from the day's warm embrace.
Of the megalomaniac sun that cannot subjugate my mind without eternal breath,
I am the master and mistress, the queen of tranquility, crowned in mystical thoughts,
Enthroned among galaxies struck by thunder, never fearing the unknown,
Ruling the moon and the cosmos, captive in the eyes of undefeatable celestial magic.

The road of salvation

22 July 2024 8:30 Am

I heard the call so long ago to walk the road of salvation
To spread Gods Word to every tounge and nation

It is a road so very straight yet strewn with many trials
Temptations all along each side and stumbling blocks for miles

I see Yeshua at the end standing in the narrow gate
It is so far but His outstretched hands beckons me as He waits

There is a balance in life you see 
And it is different for you and me

But we all must keep it with our focus on Him
To keep from falling to the side of sin

Be aware of your surroundings dear soul but never be afraid
With your eyes on Him He will guide you in to live forever some day

Premium Member Blush of Autumn

Blushing September, honest as the night
Dewdrop kisses pouring over the skies,
Cobalt dreams, kindly inviting dawn’s light

Shadows of gentling caress and chastise,
	Life’s beauty softens this musing, glowing,
Causing October a harvest so wise

As autumn breathes, in dancing leaves, growing,
	Stirrings aflutter, soft, so amazing
Risking the past for the perfect knowing

Auburn and gold, sunlight’s gentle praising
	Whispering to the heart, inspirations
Nostalgic bliss in nightly stargazing

Friendly dreams rise in blazing temptations,
	Wonders stirring up the spirit’s keepsakes,
In hues so alive they breathe sensations…

Knowing without doubt, blessings aren’t mistakes,
Blushing September, honest as the night
Silent elations, honest heart who quakes,
Cobalt dreams, kindly inviting dawn’s light

Premium Member The Things My Love and I Do Together

The Things My Love and I Do Together

The things my love and I do together
Confirm our commitment to each other.
In this, we share our belief with strangers
Through the vows we keep, said at the altar.

As we move forward, accepting our fate
To build our home and raise our family,
We won’t let misgivings secure a place,
Nor jealousy take root in a crisis.

Instead, may the lifestyle we choose fulfill
Our days with love, joy, and accomplishment,
And fear not the grip that evil instills,
But promise to agree to compromise.

   Remembering temptations are short-lived,
   And marriage is all about forgiveness.

HEART TRUSTS IN THE LORD AND HIS WORD THAT IS PURE

Our heart trusts the Lord and His Word that is pure…

By His strengthening opportunities
That keep our faith’s steadfastness over human frailties
While we abide in Him with all our functional faculties.

By His upholding fellowships
That inspire our devotion over worldly friendships
While we seek Him with all our ministerial relationships.

While we prioritize Him with all our heavenly investments.

By His empowering might to soar as do the eagles
That pull our commitment over lustful tangles
While we cling to Him with all our life-angles.

Our heart trusts the Lord and His Word that is pure…
… in dealing with our deficiencies
By His satisfying mercies
That supply our limitation’s lack over attacking insufficiencies
While we learn from Him with all our inconsistencies.

Our heart trusts the Lord and His Word that is pure…
… in fleeing from temptations
By His guiding instructions
That lead our wisdom’s decisions over foolish suggestions
While we surrender to Him with all our imperfections.

Premium Member Love Is the Answer

Love is the answer no matter the question
Since the very beginning of time
We were put on this earth to share our affection
To let love and happiness shine

It's incumbent upon each and every one of us
To show love to future generations
Help them to a happy and peaceful existence
And resist life's many temptations

Love is the answer to all of life's problems
Be they small or as big as a mountain
Attitude is the key they can all be overcome
Appreciate it and drink from life's fountain

Toleration today seems to be sadly lacking
In this fast paced life we're living in
Let's all step back take a real deep breath
Then fill up with love to the brim

Love is the answer...

Premium Member Life On The River

A balance in life can solve the riddle. 
To find the balance, start in the middle.
Distractions from the banks may lead us wrong.
Go with the flow where the current is strong.

The banks are sirens calling to our ears,
offering us pleasures relieving fears.
The emotion of love, the fear of pain,
tossing and turning, driving us insane.

Too much pleasure can lead to addition,
pain and sickness can lead to restriction.
Reject their temptations, stay in the flow,
the river is wise and knows where to go.

Avoid extremes, be content with enough.
Life on the river, no need for the fluff.

Truth Hurts

To many of us running around saying I found JESUS
Hellooo!   CHRIST was never lost.
He’s always been right there beside  you 
If you ever vowed to pay the cost.

You  too  afraid you friends might say 
( oh they act too sanctified )!
When they are the ones everyday
That’s   being pitied for their selfish pride.

Why are you constantly searching your soul
Trying to find what’s really missing in your life?
When your temper makes you the first one to scold
If someone tries to lend you spiritually advice.

Saint or sinner you have to decide
 Where do you really stand !
You cant get into heaven by playing both sides
That is just not in GOD’s plan.

Why would you come to church on Sunday morning
Looking for a savior ?
When you’re in the club every Saturday night
With those same devilish behaviors.

Sure all of us have those certain temptations 
That eagerly causes us to stray.
Because we know that our GOD is patient 
That’s why we drop to our knees and pray.

But GOD is going to become very fed up one day
Of these things we keep doing .
So if we ‘re not ready to change our ways
Everything we live for will be ruined.

So You all have your bibles 
Now read it.
You’ll find prayer is survival 
And we need.
