Am her first catch
Best of the best in her eyes
Comforter to her soul
Defender of her pride and dignity
Ensuring her joy never fades.
Fresh in her heart, I stay
Growing old like gold
Hand in hand and eye to eye
In our own world.
Just in case I cry
Know she will come running,
Love in hand
Mending my broken heart.
Never shall I want
Or lack.
Perfection lies within her,
Qualities of a queen revealed.
Rest may be wives,
She’s an angel
Triumphing her victory
Under my roof
Vast world means nothing
Without her.
Xenial
Yearning for love
Zealous
Zealous
Live life with no barriers.
Be vigilant moving forward.
Find a reason worth living.
Make time for soul-searching.
Go past the horizon.
Stand strong, keep believing.
Life can be ironically.
Be true, stay free.
Become your own man.
Don’t follow the world, take a stand.
What is your agenda?
Don’t take life for granted.
Be grateful moving forward.
Tomorrow can be unpredictable.
Your life can be monumental.
Be zealous in pursuit.
Follow your dreams.
Around the corner can be surprising.
Move on from the guilt.
Don’t put up with anyones bull.
Take back what is yours.
Deep inside, you can be more.
Where the bull plow
The field makes green
Full harvest show.
A zealous hand
Rejoice a home
Supply not run.
When you see green
It means progress
I see it gain.
Agriculture
Is the backbone
Of a nation.
Going up and down
Bringing food to the hungry
Doing day and night.
Being humble
Gives mind space
Set mark up high.
Gratitude means
Plain attitude
Clear bright way sign.
Where the road ends
Inquiry search
To go beyond.
Under the sun
All can be done
With zealous hand.
Rest tonight; recharge
More work to do tomorrow
Oh, my zealous cow!
Can certainly get over zealous at times
In extolling my love for you souls
Suddenly realize how overbearing it must be
So I'll try to show a little more control
Got a bunch of affection for all youse guys
You all have that special something
It's totally unique from one soul to the next
Which gets this old heart a-beating
Just love to discover what each person has
Have I seen it before in someone else
Each one of you adds your own little twist
It determines everyone's wealth
It's not the money you've got stashed away
Or those fancy cars you might drive
It's stuff you've got deep down in your soul
It's the friendships for which we strive
A zealous, ebullient and fiery knight
journeyed through the forest
on a dark, cold and windy night
saw a green nest
He was in search of the golden chalice
inscrutably taken
enchanted due to a malice
reawaken
The green nest had the key the knight needed
it led to the parchment
if only the zealous heeded
to sacrament

"A person who has a zealous mind will gain knowledge, but for the one who lacks zeal, knowledge will be lost."
quote by the poet
I admire those people who are zealous
Happily living life
I do not want to be jealous
That would cause strife
To have my heart overflow with passion
Would be a wondrous thrill
Love is not something to ration
but to fulfill
With genuine zeal I will journey on
Welcoming each new day
Smiling at the first light of dawn
when hope holds sway
Zealously, I tend my garden of friends
Hoping we never part
Wherever my path in life wends
They're in my heart
For obeying God's righteous directives
I have religious zeal
Faith in personal objectives
holds great appeal

Clad in doldrum
with yarns of fuchsia
hemmed here & there
twisted amidst the layers
& simulacrum
esoteric verse
slicked in ethereal
& outvying
of vehemences, I goad
to scatter zeal
into the waves
grand & unbiased
while perching with
a quintessence unclasps
to the orbs thence
& the musings of yours
undying zest
for morrowing unfolding
in yearnings
& beyond.

I knew the relationship between us was going to be sexual
Just did not know it will be this faster
Did not see it coming this way
But it came anyway
Please do not take all of these serious
With you, I know I cannot be zealous
We can never be one
The reason right now, you are being warned
I might have by mistake show that I care
Apologies, I must have been following master lucifer's footsteps
Back off and stay away from this beast
For your own emotional safety
You are warned!
Zealous unto good works*
fervently faith-driven
compassion-braced
we follow our Lord
Saviour Almighty
by His grace.
*Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

**** is really something I'm not
My laissez-faire attitude bothers some peeps a lot
It's just how I roll
I'm still in control
But overly zealous, I certainly am not
R-ain and chill have turned
I-nto a warm sunny day;
C-louds have disappeared,
H-aze and mist fade away.
Y-our birth brings much mirth,
A-pril fourth this year;
P-ure delight of the moment causes not a single tear.
D-ark dusk has just turned
I-nto a new dawn breaking;
E-vening shadows are gone,
Z-ealous light is shining.
