  My lover’s aura

Lemon laced jasmine
blended with wild red roses
-the scent she exudes
Always pervades our garden
Subduing Queen-of-the-night’s

Brave is the one who, against all odds over his enemies, is able to prevail

But 

Braver is he who succeeds in subduing his passions that his heart impale.

UNTOLD HARDSHIPS

Waging no war against atrocities,
Opulent lessin offering any resistance to social evils,
Marring herself by subduing to wicked hands,
Aura of venom often dowans on her to make her spiritless
Nadir is her social strata in her living milieu!!...

God-granted wondrous life... victorious

Precious, subduing strife ... glorious!*

*Romans 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

they were born naked
and shameless blissful
replenishing the earth with
off springs caring for the soil
subduing the hungry animals
abstaining from eating the fruit
from the tree of knowledge of good
and evil till she succumbed to the pre-
ssure of temptation on a spring afternoon
an ostrich hides her head under the hot sand...

Whimsical wonderings worth writing where we
               
          Often offer our ownership of ornate oratory obligations

     Realizing ramifications; radiant ramblings really require responsibility

         Decent dialogue diplomatically dissuades division's devastation

               Standing strong, subduing slander, speaking sensibly...

Mighty by Christ’s great strength-grace
God’s soldiers* are victorious
Fighting through holiness’ brace
Exalting His name, glorious.

Bravely subduing evil
With the Lord’s armour and sword
Their faith shows triumph-anvil
Shouting truth along His Word.

*2Timothy 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

The clouds race through,
The inky night sky. 
The wind blasts cold and chill,
Through the whispering leaves of trees.
The moon rises in ghostly splendour,
Subduing the light of the stars.
I stand alone.
Can the moon so bright see,
Tears that cannot come?
Can the clouds so swift,
Hear my silent weeping?
Is the wind, so chill,
As cold as my broken spirit?
I am alone....

GREEN  HILLS.

Green hills
Against the blue skies
Etched like a monument
Beyond the laws of desire
Water colours to touch
Green in impassioned fire.

Vast deserts embraced in heart
Sun drenched sandy pleasant of touch
Subduing cosmic storms overhead
In some imagined human crutch.

Perhaps like time and space
Two diversions merging
 Reality incomprehended by logic
But a new life comes in conjunction....

Immediate and intimate is love
but strangely we prefer darkness to light,
subduing magnetism that ushers bliss.

Pure of heart alone imbibe divine bliss,
innate to our being, as agape love,
revealing to us, that we’re living light.

Within the cave of our heart, shines God’s light,
melding therein we feel rapture of bliss,
whence ego dies and all that is, is love.

We are love, light and bliss but know it not....

God-anchored ministry*
   Reaches out to people…
     Bringing heavenly hope
       Anchored with faith’s strength
         Cheering along compassion’s mirth
            Inspiring by grace-empowerment
              Lifting against selfishness
                Subduing arrogance-might
                  Toward joyous service
                     Exalting the Lord.

*Acts 21:19 …God had wrought … by his ministry.

God is my sufficiency*-seal
With His abundance of generous replenishment
Vanquishing torturous discontentment
For my faith to increase with service-deal.

God is my satisfaction-sufficiency
With His joy of divine comfort’s cheer
Subduing despondency-gloom and fear
For my heart to be glad by prayer-fervency.

*2Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.

Seeing, what others want us to see,
Invigorate ‘them’, by subduing our plea.
Tears inside, still continuing with a glee,
Temporal affiance, desisting us to be free.
If this is life then what are we?
Condign figurine, maneuver by thee.
Even if we wish to, cannot flee,
Hypocrisy insinuates a denouement spree.
This world! A forlorn tree,
Subtle roots, nix flowers to be.
Living in the jungle of heartless “HE”
Don’t snatch my heart, I prithee,
In the name of God, let me---------- be ME....
