Japan born famous haikai -ist' ventures into a rhymed abab double quatrain for a bio like descriptive of love..an impossible task..yet the nature of personal love being so compelling even we less talented poets are not immune to put stylus to screen
Remembering singing as a child at school
'Jesus loves me this I know'
it was such lovely sentiments
bringing affection that made one glow
I was touched even way back then
the next line brought up what is true
'because the Bible tells me so'
this was reason enough however new
Although it took many years later
before God's truth sank deep down
the seed got sown at that time
which now still makes me astound
Jesus has proved His personal love for me
being with me through all my days
lifting me up when I am down
His presence always been forever to stay
As I look back on all my days
seeing God's hand threading His line
revealing His plan for my salvation
in His sovereign love calls you are mine
Jesus is the word that became flesh
out of His abundant love so real
He looks after me since His creation
fixes my life by His holy spirit's seal
Adagio Delight
Let's saunter slowly, into this sultry, star-blessed night.
Glimmering candle, on a fresh, white tablecloth, new.
We must have that daunting, Pacific Ocean view.
Oh, to dine is heaven with the man I so love.
As a rainbowed blessing from above!
I slip off my woven sandals, you do, too!
Our tanned feet sensually caressing.
Whilst we eat chicken, Cordon Bleu.
Mon. Dieux!
But, I, famished for your body, to be close to you.
My flaming addiction, which has no end.
That immortal discovering one June night,
We were far more than just good friends!
Most fiery, primive passions blossomed.
In our own, unique, personal love-fashions!
Come, let's discover love's force-field.
That continent and soul of each other.
In summers' star kissed moonlight!
Our homage to a lovers', Adagio Delight!

My intimate associate closely to my heart,
To talk anytime in all the details of my thoughts,
To listen to your words and command, to be humble
Every time uncertain.
My solid foundation, my rock and my salvation,
Glory to you God, hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest!
Personal love you given me.
You lift me up, given me pleasure to swing to your arms,
Hymn praises to you, surrounded by blue ocean with pure
White clouds, beautiful indeed!
You secure me to the hostile world I am moving and
Hold me to your hands never been shaken by anything.
My deliverance, my hope, my success and my happiness
Wholly lean on in JESUS name.
