NOTE: I have not structured this form with iambic feet or any other meter. I found this form suits my faith in Jesus as LORD, closest to how I feel: SONnet
OCTAVE:
LORD, as morn yields to noon (or dawn) my SONnet will please, tease, release:
I greet thee, having access to Your throne by Jesus
And His sacrifice on Calvary: We pray against the Virus
With a sunshiny name, an aura of a name, "a garland" ...
Corona Virus, COVID-19, or SARS-Cov-2, Thy Hand
Is mighty and righteous, always Righteous, even in judgment
God of Grace and Love, forgiveness and Provisioning
Forgive me my greed, envy, jealousy, smallness and scheming
SESTET:
I intercede for others now ... as I taught in Gauteng, I now follow:
Make a prayer list, or start a Wall of Prayer at home. Workshops in 2019
With the plea: "U give 8 hours a day to your boss, why not time for God?"

That "first glance" is which I will never forget in my life.
It was the first meet whence those attracting
attaching amusing eyes locked mine.
Stealthily hypnotized and made me fall
captivated to his smiling striking swallowing eyes,
stole my heart generously and shielded me inside.
Gradually progressing & processing with
distinguished peachy romanticism:
sighting,nurturing,nourishing,
provisioning,kissing,hugging,
punching,tweaking,fighting,
patting with lightings...love endures enormously.
Our Undying divine love overflows boundlessly
demanding immeasurable unite.

The Oroborus of loves strange design leaves you dancing dangerously close to the edge of the outer darkness as you descend wriggling down the squirming coil. Eyes obscured by images. Eyes always searching through the canopy of flashing monitors. Ears deafened by screeching components that fire off adrenalin from over stimulated synapses. Sadistic by passion your heart pounds with each stroke of the keys. Liquid crystal luminescence drenching your skin as something alive. Organic light-emitting diode provides higher contrast, pale bodies’ shutters in the vibrational light. Your mind contesting all calculation the complexity of denial. Dark souls touch before eyes see. Creating the most intimate love carelessly transmitted through unsecure connections. Flirtation fluctuations turn moments to hours. Provisioning circuits setting the limits of rarefied rituals. Exalted idealization pushes perfection and the boundaries of reality. Darkness haunts your days forcing its way into your secrets, the sweetest insanity fill the creases. Lust drenches passion leaving no room for reason; you have been assimilated into loves strange design.
