All of us are in a wilderness
a maze that holds us down
but there's good news for you
there's one to take away your frown
Jesus Christ has come here for you
taking on our earthly frame to wear
even our sins He's put on His body
taking it to the cross to be laid bare
This Jesus died with all our sins
paid the price for salvation's cost
crying out to all to draw near
no matter your state as cold as frost
Jesus calls for your surrender
giving over to Christ's holy rule
bring yourself to His humble feet
proving that you're nobody's fool
Jesus is indeed a loving saviour
one indeed so loving and true
His love is wonderfully majestic
it's worth it to give Him all of you

You can blame me as a nefarious devilish being
Your judgment can convict me as a hellish king
But I'm a surrendered creation from the womb
Where my birth has cultivated my ultimate tomb

You can't from the well-guarded escape.
It should be a wonder mouths to gape,
Each warder to think self big Ape;
Maximum security Rape!
You dare not from the prison escape;
All days, after recapture, Grape,
Warders familiar with the landscape;
The things you say, your plans, your cough tape...
Gosh! I can see them all your hairs scrape,
In prickly clothes your flogged body drape
And sweat cause to break out on your nape
You don't when surrendered escape

caress me with soft love
and a lullaby it would sing a starry night
up above
fierce flame will burn
harmony of passion will light
unworn
breath kiss
by candle light
bliss
fleeting glance awakes Love
bathing in afterglow moon's light
bliss

Fragrant magick candlelight flickers hot,
blue, red flame stimulating sparks bind hands.
Tame harmony remains. "Love." While love awakes
a wanderer of my emboldened heart;
gentle wind meander blows, and gusts oppose.
I discern your quintessence in the breeze
emerging out of dust of dry humble ground
from I was formed ... a fleeting glance into
colorfulness night; for our love rhymes
of aged mirth; our unconditional surrendered
love eclipse with flickering light while honey
sips our lips. Bound by love and devotion
my soul embraces you …you cradle me close
a thirst to be near for all eternity.
A dwelling among this vessel knowing
that you are in me and I in you
bathing in the afterglow of sunset
under heavens studded with bright stars.

I knew you long before
pursuit's intention shone,
felt you in sun's fiery warmth
& shooting star surrender,
heard your voice on soft
burbled whispers of sweet zephyrs
and nectar'd songs of hummingbirds,
saw your depths of magnificence
in sapphire ocean tides
cresting 'neath effulgent moons
savoring breaths of crystalline
snowflakes on crisp sea air,
I knew strength in your convictions
for it braved every fantasy's illusion
acquiesced 'tween dulcet desires,
whilst the strong presence of your charms
envelop'd every night's dreaming

Mine eyes never saw such a handsome face,
thoughts of you became every part of me.
I longed to be in thine strong embrace,
You set my being aflame immediately.
One look from you unlocked unknown passion,
your presence caught me by surprise.
I have no doubt you will bring much satisfaction,
I want to rest on your chest until sunrise.
Who knew I'd be smitten by just a glance,
my mind, body and soul belongs to you.
In awe of your physique; I'm in a trance,
You rescued me from feeling sad and blue.
I've found the one who holds the key to my heart,
I surrendered to love; and we shall never part.

A life lived pleasing yourself
nothing of value does it bring
only leaving you a void within
just left to feel a hollow ring
Where is life that is abundant
one which satisfies you to the full
that has no horrible emptiness
gives you fullness so very cool
The answer lies in having faith
in God who lives eternally so
believing and trusting on His word
which reveals Jesus His son to show
Jesus calls those that follow Him
to surrender all at His feet
giving up all of self making Jesus Lord
finding loving acceptance at His mercy seat

hollow echoes call
empty thoughts run mad screaming
cries unacknowledged
heartache surrenders itself
to agony's lewd defeat

The goodbye part was the hardest to say..
Heartfelt surrender Lord, I will ardently obey.
No one understands, as many tears fall..
Lord, I will adoringly yield and await your call..
As I faithfully hold steadfast upon you..
In your perfect timing, all will come due.
As I continue to learn and surrender my heart.
Holy spirit, guide and teach your wisdom to impart.

He was so difficult to penetrate
it was like trying to infiltrate
he stayed strong
would not be strung along
until that day he cried
trying to cover it up he lied
so I let him be and gave him space
until he felt ready for my embrace
from that moment I felt like a hero
this me is needed, no longer a zero
he needed me in an unique way,
I did not feel like a cast away…

I searched for you night and day,
My lungs gave out and breath gave way.
It was endless in miles and vast in count.
The treasures in measure are heavy in amount.
Piece by piece I seek to find,
Gathering myself with a soul and mind!
I prayed for you day and night,
My heart gave way and my feelings gave out.
I was surrendered to my love without a doubt!
