B Bewildered the Little Prince landed on Earth
S Surveyed the drought amongst plentiful riches
I Ignored the facades and gave earthlings a rose
X Xenial embrace warm welcoming and hospitable
O On the surface he seemed to be an outlandish soul
N Native of a foreign Universe that was called Love
E Enigmatic mysterious with a Three Petalled Flower
T The Turkish Astronomer married the Lamplighter
W Wedded they were under a Baobab Tree’s canopy
O Oblivious of haters they tied hands and good fortune
F From now on luminescent like Aladdin the cave gave way
O On its way to handing over the torch of naked freedom
R Relieved from oppression of thoughts action and feelings
E Elephant doffed his hat to applause of Boa Constrictor
V Vigorous in his passion he pulled the mask from our eyes
E Enter at you own peril if you dare to see the light of the truth
R Risk is not for the faint hearted but darkness not a good choice

Always aching, the absence hurts so deep.
Broken silence where sweet memories sleep.
Crying comes, a necessary flood.
Darkest days misunderstood.
Empty space where laughter used to bloom.
Finding strength to leave the lonely room.
Gradually, the sharpest pain gives way.
Hoping brightens with each passing day.
Inside, a quiet calm begins to grow.
Joy is fragile, moving soft and slow.
Kindness learned—to self, and to the past.
Lessons linger; built to truly last.
Moments spent now focused just on me.
New directions, wild and wide and free.
Open doors to possibilities unseen.
Peace returns, serene and ever green.
Quiet comfort in the solitude.
Reaching out for all the good I've viewed.
Sunlight warms a spirit long denied.
Togetherness, but self is now my guide.
Understanding sets the old pain free.
Vibrant soul discovers destiny.
Wisdom gained from battles fought and won.
Xenial future, now the work is done.
Yearning turns to love for who I am.
Zenith reached, escaping the old jam.
All at once I understood
Because I heard the sound
Coming from the distant woods
Dogs yapping just like hounds
Endless barking on the path
Fearlessly chasing prey
Guided by no words or math
Howling to show the way
I could not help but wonder
Just how this chase would end
Keeping hope that no blunder
Listening with my friend
Mighty canines came in sight
Not one was resting still
One path only would be right
Perhaps their fate to seal
Quitting was not thought of now
Resting would not be sought
Simple instincts show us how
The troubled victim’s caught
Under thick, and captured quick
Victim of the tracking
Wounded dogs begin to lick
Xenial copse lacking
You know now the race is done
Zapped, resting in the sun
Across the miles to where you are
beyond the highways, however far
chasing love inside my dreams
daring to believe you were there for me
even if I may never see you again
forever in my heart I will tend, and
gather my vivid memories of you
how we met under skies so blue
in summer fields beside the sea
jasmine scents wafting in the breeze
kindred spirits, that we were
love was born, our hearts were pure
much was said with only our eyes
neither noticed the dimming skies
over the course of time, we knew
parting had to come, winds blew
quickly towards the eastern shore
restless longings were no more
sullen skies drew us apart
tangled torment gripped my heart
until then, I thought you were mine
verily, I despaired our sad decline
when you sought to go, you left
xenial beginnings were now bereft
yearnings for you, I’ll never forget
zeal for you in dreams I’ve kept.
You’re my everything, my LORD AND my GOD.
Meanwhile, I claim no new answer
since I have learned, and am knowing WHO YOU ARE intimately
by my personal relationship with YOU through Scriptures’ assertions.
Indeed, YOU are the:
Alpha and Omega upholding me throughout eternity
Bread of life, blessing me with gracious bounty…
Christ Who’s the chief cornerstone of the church I belong
Deliverer and defender, enabling me to be strong…
Emmanuel Whose presence beautifies my essence
Faith-Author letting my trust-story glow with sublime iridescence…
Guardian, protecting my soul around regeneration seal
Holy One, imparting to me divine nature I can’t conceal…
Instructor, constantly exhorting me to obey commandments
Judge, always forgiving toward righteous engagements…
King Who deserves my service to the utmost
Lover so faithful beyond my fidelity’s cost…
Mediator I cling to for His spiritual advocate-role
Nourisher of my being, nurtured for heavenly goal…
Omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent Sovereign
Peace Source enriching me with reconciliation serenity-gain…
Quickening me toward born-again genuine revival
Redeemer ensuring my resurrection-upheaval…
Saviour Whose Shepherd-satisfaction suffices me verily
Teacher guiding my steps along His truth certainly…
Ultimate reason of my meaningful existence-zest
Victory causing every triumphant best, so blest…
Wonderful Counselor I seek against angst and doubt
Xenial in dealing with me around fellowship route
Yokefellow Who bears my load in discipleship-partnership…
Zealous leader I yield myself to in jubilant worship.
Indeed, You’re my everything, my LORD AND my GOD.
Without You, I am nothing. Thank You very much for loving me.
I love You, too. By Your grace, I live for You*
while ministering to others in Your name.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Animating attention in thought rested stillness
Beauteous bliss beats ushers elixir of wellness
Cajoling head and heart to entwine as lovers
Decoyed not by deluded desire that hovers
Emerging from darkness emitting soul’s light
Forging a pact with heaven heightening delight
Garnering hitherto hidden wisdom by God’s grace
Hosting life flow with nonchalance, empty like space
Illuminating our core, holding truth in close embrace
Judiciously and mindfully treading softly on earth
Kiss of bliss renewing rapture in bubbling mirth
Luminescence of presence our quintessence
Magically manifesting love’s effervescence
Nameless, blameless soul, here for a sojourn
Osmotically draws magnetism, a benign bliss burn
Presence witnessing how our false self falls away
Quelling cravings of ego that causes us to sway
Recognising the truth of our Self in singularity
Sconce of love held firm in head-heart parity
Taming duality to get to crystal clear clarity
Understands that life is but a lucid dream
Venting emotes that our heart does stream
Waxing and waning as does the beauteous moon
Xenial vibrations assimilated that we joyously swoon
Yearning without desiring and seeking without craving
Zestful at all times, vibrance of bliss on heart engraving
LOVE IS... from A to Z:
Almighty force since God* is omnipotent source
Building life along grace toward triumphant course…
Compassion at work, exemplified by Lord Christ
Directed for man’s redemption, heavenly priced…
Earnest care for others, setting aside own need
Fulfilling the biblical altruism creed…
Goodness of welfare motive, goodwill prevailing
Hoisting hope against helplessness assailing…
Inspiration gearing influential impact
Jubilant feeling and joyous state with truth’s fact…
Kindness kindling our urges toward reaching-out
Liberating us from selfishness and greed’s clout…
Mercy, moving heart for ministry endeavour
Nurturing souls through counsel of wisdom savour…
Oh! Gift of the Spirit to grant with freedom choice
Personally shown over apathetic poise…
Quickening touch propping meaningful survival
Re-creating existence with blest revival…
Signature of charity, cheering self-esteem
Transforming “me first” attitude toward “we team”…
Understanding “Love thy neighbor as thyself” sense
Valuing togetherness, and each one’s presence…
Worthy treasure to cherish; more precious when shared
Xenial with thankful bliss as praise, totally bared…
Yielding lustful gain so that peace for all will reign
Zealous to do best, honouring the Lord --- love’s main.
*1John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
