Premium Member God's Labyrinth

God's Labyrinth

A game I play in a race in a maze against no ordinary race.
Where my human mind begins to raise the thoughts in box of lost and 
found. 
In order to see I have to open my eyes and sweep the seas.
The passion within will never exposes to compare the picture of one's 
stare.
Water and fire are 2 simile only I choose to see.
Hot and cold no one knows the beauty that will never show.
The sun and moon are 2 buddies blinding us with beauty like bullies.


Pulverizing my pain darken the stain with nothing to gain.
look inside you won't see beauty on this side where I hide while I'm 
alive.
Love bought me time from the enemy at the gate of hate and crime.
Ashes to ashes a life with no trust a box of rust and dust to dust.
To find the tie that binds true beauty beyond the skies, I would truly 
have to die.
I hold my chest~ pass all pawns across the chess of God's land holding 
his hand.
A puzzled walk connecting~dots of faith, hope, and victory in God's 
Labyrinth.

Premium Member How Do I Love Thee, Let Me Count the Ways

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

                 (Response)
What magnitude of love, thou hath for me
A  flowing fountain welleth up inside
Overfilling my heart with love and pride 
Merely mirrors the love I share for thee
Our two hearts were meshed by God's blessed grace
Our love strengthens the tie that binds our souls
Untempered by heaven, forever it  grows 
Immeasurable love through time and space
Countless stars will sleep, winds will rise and fall
My darling, I thirst and hunger for thee
Please bringeth forth thy love and comfort me 
The love we share encompasses all

Such Divine love before unknown to man
Such true love shall never be known again


  response to Elizabeth Barrett Browning's sonnet
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

Premium Member Perhaps Doria Ragland's Thoughts

Doria Ragland, Meghan Markle's mother
  



As you exchange those precious vows,
I view the scene through happy tears--
white lace, your prince, sweet looks of love,
broad smiles, no signs of nervous fears.

When Blues and Royals coat and grand
Givenchy gown are stored away,
real life together will begin.
Your choices will be wise, I pray.

Remember, please, the promises 
you've made today; and always keep
them faithfully. May your love grow,
and may you laugh more than you weep.

My dear, you’re now a Princess and 
a Duchess. More importantly,
you hold the title “Daughter.” That’s
the one that means the most to ME!

Dear Harry, you’re a Prince and Duke;
some day you could be Britain’s King.
Also, you are a son-in-law--
to ME, the most important thing!

You’ll face some challenges unique
to royal couples. There must be
a tie that binds you through it all,
that LOVE so clear for all to see.

Premium Member A Distant Love

We'll never feel the warmth of love's embrace
Chilled ripples on the skin from it's caress
Experience first hand that sweetest taste
Or kiss away sad tears of loneliness

To love her means I'll die a thousand deaths
Each thought, each dream, a poniard through my heart
Then say, "I love you," with each dying breath
A Shakespeare tragedy played out in parts

Yet love is unrestrained by boundaries
It lives and grows inside the heart and mind
The feeling that removes all quandaries
True love is still the strongest tie that binds

Regardless of the miles we are apart
The love we share connects from heart to heart

Premium Member Lord Give Me Your Heart Let Your Words Proceed Out of Your Mouth-

Father speak every word before me 
Father where do my words come from 
All you say that they come from my heart 
But I am at dismay I am lost 
Lord I need some heart surgery
 I pray that you would remove all this the negativity 
Allow the overflow to come forward allow me to speak,
 those words of your thoughts of liberty 
Lord give me a heart 
Lord give me a heart
Lord give me your heart of a man who speaks wisdom and love of God
It's an emergency 
Flatline O' God Father where did this come from 
Out of my heart  God words and thoughts not like you 
Before I was cursings condemnation bitter anguish anger strife 
warring deploying living and speaking such a sinful life 

Words that come out do they represent your thoughts 
Are they of God and Christ Lord need your heart surgery 
O' God remove those things that are not like you 
Loose those minds that tie that binds me 
Let out of the overflow of my heart speak 
Nothing but love and life oh God 
Ooh! Lord Give Me Your Heart
Give me your heart 
Give Me Your Heart Lord 
Speak from my mouth
 Lord give me the words to say 
And the words to pray
Help me to acknowledge your goodness, in your way
Hallelujah I pray Give Me Your Heart Lord 
Give me the words the right words to say
My, my, my O' Lord give me your heart ??

The Drain

Steam can't hide tear drops 
The sound of water, sobs 
They're back again, thoughts once forgotten
Of a Lover lost 

It was on a summer night, we met 
Now Winter's chill reminds 
No wedding ring, No vows were made 
Only Love, the tie that binds 

And when I'm in The dark place now 
The memories do flow 
As if He tries to ease the pain 
But, like a thorny vine, it grows

And so, I shut the water down , and try to refrain
From thinking thoughts of things that Died
And Live the Life I've made 
With my thoughts, my sullen mood 
Drips slowly down the drain 
I dry myself, Anew once more 
Until we meet again

My Grandpa

My Grandpa	

There are not many people in this world
That could say they have a Grandpa like mine
For as long as I remember he was always there
And when I went to school he’d call to see if I was fine

He taught me how to ride the bicycle
And brought me home a new fishing pole
Together we’d pack a lunch and a thermos
And head for our favorite fishing hole

He taught me how to clean the fish we caught
 And how to bait the hook just right
He showed me how to bring in the fish
Especially the ones that put up such a fight

I remember hot summer days   
And we would pack up and go swim
And camp for weekend of fun
Those memories for me will never dim

He is gone now these many years
But I will never forget the many times
He filled that empty feeling I have now
He was my anchor and tie that binds

No I shall never forget the times
 He would tease me into a smile
Telling me how much he loved me
 Making my summers all worthwhile.

He left behind so many things
When he left this world for another
But time marches on and the day will come
When once again we’ll  be together

Premium Member Light Shines In Total Darkness

" When one least expects...hope illuminates"                 




                                    Light Shines In Total Darkness


                           A moment in time where love should leave
                           when incompatibility muddy crystal waters
                           dissolves a tie that binds divine connection
                           widens the abyss as dream loudly shatters

                           Down on my knees I begged for a reprieve
                           gazes polarizing for to her nothing matters
                           in locked cages lay vestiges of desperation
                           intimacy now in tatters mutated to cinders

                           Aged moon will not commiserate then give
                           nebulous promises to stop onrushing tears
                           nor rays to light the path toward contrition
                           and turtle doves waving wings that glitters

                           Weary eyes reaching for salvation perceive
                           apparitions raising me up to alleviate fears
                           cleansing this heart throbbing in exultation
                           as grass springs anew...while grief withers.
