Now That I Have Won My Love's Heart

Now That I Have Won My Love's Heart

Now that I have won my love’s heart and trust,
I must prove myself as a worthy choice
And secure the fickle bond between us
When others challenge for her hand and voice.

They utter words to sway her opinion
And whisper sweet nothings into her ear
(To paint me as a loathsome perception),
Ready

FAITH IN GOD WHO AFFIRMS THAT HE IS THE LORD

September 6 Faith in God Bible Meditations Based on Ezekiel 23-24

Key Verse – Ezekiel 23: 49 … And ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

FAITH IN GOD WHO AFFIRMS THAT HE IS THE LORD	

God affirms that He is the Lord Who is against wickedness
Surely disciplining us of our rebelliousness
To mold our faith toward

The straw that breaks the camel's back

I run in circles all day long
doing a heap of chores and
getting things done
but I'll tell you what I truly find exhausting.
It's the waiting and not knowing,
it sets me back and slows me down.
It frustrates me to the bitter end.

Instead of multitasking
I end up multimasking
juggling and pretending
to be the patient person
that I'm really not.

our governor knows that there is no afterlife

he stands in his suit,
blue tie hanging like a noose,
smiling with dead teeth,
signing papers that send
another man, another woman,
into the dirt.

our governor knows
there is no afterlife—
he isn’t sending them to heaven,
he’s sending them to rot.
if he believes in the Bible,
he’s forgotten the line:
thou shall not kill.
no grey area, no loophole.
he pretends justice,
but it’s only blood

All That We Dream

(“The Longest Journey”, 2020, original encaustic)

All That We Dream

When George Harrison sang,
“Yesterday, today was tomorrow
And tomorrow, today will be yesterday”
He was making a simple observation
On the nature of Life as a flow
We attach our momentary labels of time.

But he could also have said this applies
To all of us simultaneously in the flow
While attaching those labels

Living under a dictator won’t be all that bad

Living under a dictator won’t be all that bad.
Most won’t even miss any of the rights that they had.
But oops! Here they come for your high-powered gun.
They’ve just about convinced you, it will be safer for everyone,
especially now that all those murderous immigrants are gone.

Did You Ever Have That Feeling

Why is it, when you want to go,

They ask you...can't you just stay?

And, when you want to stay,

They tell you...won't you just go?

The more I think on the subject,

The more I "Think!" I know.

Tell them, you really want to "Stay!"...

When you "Really!"...want to "Go!"

Those That Condemn

those that condemn will never be gone, they’ll wither in indifference

I's that Can't C-

nineth number of the alphabet
hasn't eyes yet it's C's
the I's have it, because I is in front of T
And letter C is numbered 3
For me... I's that Can't C-

To The Blind That Are Dreaming

Before I was blind there were dreams.
But seeing my dreams
before I could see, depended
on how much you could really see.
--
Blind before birth,
and what you have asked of me.
Having my, our, hearing dreams-
your perception
is sound, sound that is seen;
left more unsaid about me.
--
I still see to see in my dreams
as one
where I'm still alive.
--
What they must

Scars That Can't Be Seen

A Wound may hide — beneath the Flesh —
No Surgeon’s hand can find —
It burrows in the quiet Mind —
And leaves the Nerve — behind.

No Mirror tells the fractured Shape —
The World still sees us Whole —
Yet Ghostly Fingers press the Heart —
And haunt the fragile Soul.

The Sun may smile — the Lilac bloom —
The

Squirrel that never gave up

Ten times they tried and failed
to ban him from the seed
with nets, with traps, with hose;
a hundred times they tried.
Later when,
amen, the
angry men,
then gave up;
Soon came zen.

Where Grass That Grow

When you hate someone
And you still feel love
It's like burning a grass
And then still grows back. 

When you control love
And you still unable to deny
It's like mowing the grass
After a few days it offshoot again. 

When you befriend someone
Be sure it is mutually agreed 
For when trouble comes near
Both parties can able to amend. 

When

That Heaven's Rivers

That heaven's rivers 
flow saying Allah
Went out philomels of Islam
whistles saying Allah

Sways tugba trees  
Recites Quran also tongues
Elysum yard's roses
smells saying Allah

Some eats some drinks
Angels deal out peace
Prophet Idris measures dress 
Stitchs saying Allah

All posts are from noor
All leaves are from silver
While streching branches
Concludes saying Allah

Brighter than moon, faces
Sweater than suger, voices
Eden's houri maidens
Wanders

Eyes That Speak

we had a lot to say, sadly we still do
could've said that in the moment when the world was below our feet
but the fear, the caged beast inside us needed our heart as a feast
so we chose never to say but enjoy the very moment 
yet our eyes whispered and held the secret meetings
the tides
