MAN THAT I LOVE

MAN THAT I LOVE

Sing to me a song my love
of earth below and heaven above
fill my ears with the sound of your voice
and let me know I was your choice

let the light of my joy fill your air
and in my love you’ll know I care

Strong is my fair one and true
with a depth rarely given to few

Caress me with the sounds of your song
for to you only do I belong
tenderly find each note that you play
give me all that you have to say

may your words reach into my heart
and fill each and every part

Sweet is my fair one and true
with a depth rarely given to few

Without you I am not whole
you fill the depths of my soul
kiss me with the rise of the dawn
at sunset fill me with your song
do not awaken my love
unless it descends from above

Strong is my fair one and true
with a depth rarely given to few

While I'd love to put his picture in here
I'm afraid the depth of my own feelings
are completely "one sided" God's side

 

FORMATION

continuing in the love songs , and finding because my own
values are deeply entrenched looking for them in another
makes it difficult , especially when the values are based on
the face of Jesus Christ as we see him ..and understanding
that all will ultimately fail them , myself included .It's a bit
like being able to fully see how paradise would "operate" but
being unable to fulfill it in this life in a "broken" being ..which
none the less is fully visible . such as in Romans 1:20

FORMATION

Have you seen the man whom my soul loves

does spring boundless like the antelopes afield

whose consumations thus give to herds their yield

like lightly soars in thermals flocks of doves



The strength of pillars in the sinews of his limbs

so skillfully lifts the music of his hands

gathers those who so listen from their stands

and bring pleasures where he whose talents spends



I had searched the mountainous valley's long ago

to find a soul whose depth as rich as he

so many I had scanned though did not see

the like of him in any people I did know



Thus to my chambers I would him chance

but he would have to leave the fields flocks

exclusive is the devotion behind doors locks

or partake the tables spread in harlots dance



To waltz like winged bird upon the wind

whose unseen direction comes from whence

and depth of feelings that make not sense

didst this emotion upon mine heart descend



Tis now two years I have you letters sent

to give mine thoughts you by song I sing

that you might understand like bird on wing

the nature of the truth in word now lent



From the depths of what is true these words now formed

whose intent to be like rain upon the fields of grass

that might turn attention to so unbeautious of lass

whose God has these feelings within adorned



So has long in word have emptied out her soul

that he might read and see what is her past

so fashion to his reason and understanding cast

thus the secret person within might come to know



Could he not know that every word was given voice

to paint a picture of what is of Love and True

a gift wrapped like music in a tonal hue

that he might clearly see and make a choice



Thus seen like wisps of clouds in boundless sky

whose movements formed by mists and winds

invisible from where all courses begot sends

and by word have fully fashioned what is I

FALLEN

FALLEN

Oh molten heart thine pain within must shed
of having Loved among the living dead
God forgive unto me my flowing tears
to you I kneel and give you all my fears

And crests the agony that washes earthy shore
of having Loved and been Loved no more
within it's endless seas have I drown
to take mine joy and cast it to the ground

Oh God forgive me a woman's heart
when love of one has stolen every part
and bowed beneath the burden of the weight
to careless with my feelings and lightly take

Mine self been captured by netted snare
in the depth of well and love thats dwelling there
to exposed myself to one too blind to see
and giving him the gifts that comes from thee

To have cast the line of ecstasy and joy
and fished the depths of girl to loving boy
to have hoped within the seed to germ
or to count the cost if heart did spurn

And have thought this the one so carefully sought
wherein my safety and protection eternal caught
the rock foundation where Love can build it's home
in the unity of two hearts and minds as one

I had thought mine heart with gentle man to share
passion for Life and within indwelling of my care
thought naked soul like to my God I bare
and the depth of the well abiding there

To wish I had the gift of crippled ones to heal
the power of his Love no adversary can ever steal
to lift the broken souls up from their ashes
and to find heavenly treasures within their caches

Oh beloved man to you my heart have given
that within the bonds of True Love continue living
thou coulds't have my half and whole
that unto our God be as a single soul

Oh worthless slave am I to my masters call
to keep my duties and give to him my all
to teach me love upon his beck with comprehension small
that to his favor and freedom may never fall

To be despised is more agony than I can bare
from the one heart has chosen for it's care
for Truth and Love have only sought to share
and the many treasures residing there

For the anointed is Ruler and King of me
for he does govern and measure all I see
and has foretold upon the wings of prophecy
what shall come to pass and what will be

When simple truth do so many think profound
where babes and children play upon it's ground
it's existence is innocence and Love so sound
and to give it it's returns a fourfold mound

Cast your bread upon the waters if you dare
because Love cannot be confined but meant to share
but beware that what you Love isn't Satan's snare
and we be found not wheat but thorny tare

TRAILS

TRAILS

When you wake up...... will
your life be a fading dream
you run after you don't know...... what
what have you accomplished....... anything?

Only seems like yesterday
I was drowning...... in my sorrow
woke up on another day
just to find it was...... tomorrow

The paths of greed have stolen
all that life...... has freely given
how many...... lives become lost
down the roads they are driven

I never had a childhood
that existed without...... struggle
all my dreams were nightmares
and I am a common ...... Muggle

Didn't travel with the In-crowd
or listen to the radio
probably lost in thought and working
upon something else I know

But it was love...... that saved me
that reached my own...... heart inside
the flood gates...... they were opened
upon a heart...... that died

When you look...... at history
it isn't love you agree
all the pain...... and war and strife
the death of love...... you'll see

My mind it bows...... to knowledge
that this is ...... the fallen man
that you need to...... learn and grow
commit to ...... love its plan

Wake up from your sleeping
realize you are alive
find the things...... you need to do
let love...... be what you drive

From one man...... did I learn this
I had to ...... examine him
spent my time...... considering
his paths...... among his kin

Had I never found myself
wading into his extensive thought
I would have never understood
the price he paid or...... what he bought

You are my mind...... my wake up
when everyday I rise
you removed the cloak of makeup
the lies that were disguise

Proverbs 4
10 Listen, my son, accept what I say,
and the years of your life will be many.
11 I instruct you in the way of wisdom
and lead you along straight paths.
12 When you walk, your steps will not be hampered;
when you run, you will not stumble.
13 Hold on to instruction, do not let it go;
guard it well, for it is your life.
14 Do not set foot on the path of the wicked
or walk in the way of evildoers.
15 Avoid it, do not travel on it;
turn from it and go on your way.
16 For they cannot rest until they do evil;
they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.
17 They eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.
18 The path of the righteous is like the morning sun,
shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
19 But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness;
they do not know what makes them stumble.

 

RANDOM THOUGHTS

please remember these are posted in public pages for writing and poetry

RANDOM THOUGHTS

Those of us who attentively examine the Cosmos understand that life is intent upon expanding itself in every respect . It is in a state of replication that cannot be coerced to stop or thwarted by something as small as angels or men. These cannot impede what it has set in motion . Birth and renewal are a constant in it’s march forward to paths and destinations foreseen by it’s very order. No angel or Man can prohibit , inhibit , or defy it’s relentless and all consuming forge to refine all that it encompasses.
I am constantly in a state of being awestruck by it’s integrity to itself. Where it is only the defiant actions of men and angels who continually throw such destructive thought and action at it and move to poison , erode , dismantle and pollute the very things that elevate a joy so supernal in realizing we are an intrinsic element of it’s drive .
That those wanton articles of filth set to denude the planet and man , whose ideology is so nefarious that those not being bought and sold as “world leaders†are equally in it’s grip and masquerade as progress. I defy those who believe we can create †a better world †by ripping apart the one we currently inhabit . Those who consider soiling the earth with violence and the blood of their “brothers†who exist in different lands to acquire “the prizes†of the earth’s riches for themselves , are those who ought to be in prison alongside the mass murderer’s and serial killers already there. The global elite who assume they are the Masters of Destiny and rulers in the world of men are seen to be nothing but puppets being played on a stage set for destruction of corruption and the ruination of those who take part in their activity. Is there a nation on the planet that has more WMD’S , chemical weapons , poisonous chemicals , drugs and men set to terrorize others on the planet more than this supposed “One nation under God†and by it’s action fully demonstrate that the God they worship is the God of Death and War .
The relentless and insidious indoctrination in every level of those thought to be “leaders†foisted upon the masses in every nation can be considered a fraud so great that it’s demise is highly sought after by those who truly LOVE LIFE and desire that all shall be able to partake in it’s blissful essences .But the next episode of rape your neighbor and his ground is a rerun in your media , your mind , your desire and your actions. Again I divorce you , Universal Religion of Theft of all that is good which is insinuated in every teaching , doctrine , inculcation , of a war on everything bright , beautiful and intrinsic to the nature of life in the Cosmos …

2Corinthians 5
16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors,as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God

 

JUDGMENT

JUDGMENT

I hear the rolling thunder beyond the clouds
descending from his throne with many shrouds
His lightening circles the earth in peel
it’s effect to many will seem surreal

The angels who are holding back the wind
release their breath upon man to descend
as nature rages upon our earthly shore
the chance for repentance is no more

The molten hearts of man begin to quake
realizing the truth was no mistake
the chance to live in love has passed them by
in the certain knowledge they will die

Two witnesses will walk the streets of earth
their words become Gods fire in birth
like two candlesticks they stand
pronounce Gods judgment is at hand

Mankind will know there is no place to flee
will recognize signs and wonders they do see
the day of his fierce anger has arrived
and destruction of iniquity will be alive

For every hand who has practiced harm
will clearly hear the ring of it’s alarm
No violators of the laws of Love
will see any mercy from Jah above

When upon the last of his are sealed
the day of retribution will be revealed
Gods Hand will move the earth out of place
and universe will be shaking in it’s space

the inhabitants of the earth have become defiled
the taint of wickedness has touched the child
like a drunken man the world will shake
because of treachery the land will desolate

Every mountain and high hill will fall
rock and sway with the burden of the call
for the burning of his anger a devouring fire
and so few be sheltered from his ire

the time to learn to Love is now
and beneath it’s tenderness to bow
the wicked will be cleansed from the land
and the meek will in his kingdom stand

POLLUTION

POLLUTION

Acid has become our rain
and oceans with mercury do we stain
dioxin lies beneath our ground
in everything toxic materials be found

E-coli is used to alter genes in food
where recombinant DNA is understood
heavy metals do the population addle
as the health industry lose continuing battle

With the law makers do the inhabitants contend
and a wealthy man can the laws amend
documented information on man’s pollution
yet nobody seems to have a solution

Programs that show if man were to die
nature herself would repurify
at 300 years would be the retaking
of only a portion of what mankind is making

Desecration upon desecration upon the land
mankind destroys himself with his own hand
no amount of law can change our ways
our own nature fallen since ancient of days

Scientists who study regeneration
pursue this path with great fascination
they know that the body should heal itself
but understand not sin and it’s stealth

Deserts now stand where nature did blossom
the amount of the damage is beyond awesome
ground waters filled with pesticide
about it’s effects have governments lied

Asbestos and arsenic and lead just a few
adversely affect the body nothing new
tons upon tons of toxins released to our air
and only for wealth do manufacturers care

Seabirds and mammals die from plastic trash
the production of garbage for making of cash
forest and savannahs are being depleted
in soil degradation are crops being seeded

With love for our earth the concerned have their say
but the pursuers of wealth do get their way
the destroyers of earth with God will clash
but this system of things will Jesus dash

THE HUNTER

THE HUNTER

Why , should I let you

approach

and not spring away as a gazelle

leave you to lacerate my throat

to rip and consume my heart

like a lion who ravages prey

have your teeth not been satiated

with all those who fell

in the hunts before me

like ewe lambs in the slaughter

You cannot serve two masters

the lust of the eyes , the desire of the flesh

and ones means as a way of life

You had sought there justice

and eschewed oppression

loved undeserved kindnesses and affection

and with meekness did seek

understanding in the meditations

of the woodlands silence

Come you now, put away your sins

hunt for your Maker and truth

and turn away from your emptiness

and vain pursuits of vanity

where compassion is a hated word

and corruption the robes of your kingdom

You are not lost yet

that you might not ever return

to real Love.


James 1:1-8 & 4:7-10



The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires..



Matthew 13 :44-45

44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.

Within your chambers closets
you did our trousseau bring
the garments fit for marriage
joining virgin to the King

Every thread hand woven

until was found the wardrobe
that would your spouse complete

Every gemstone found that’s precious

Luke 12:27 “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin.
Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and
tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!

1Pet 2:19 For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering
because they are conscious of God.20 But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating
for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is
commendable before God. 21 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you,
leaving you an model, that you should follow in his steps.

Isaiah 61:10 I delight greatly in יהוה ; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has
clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE

THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE

The Rock is he on whom I rely
there it is the strength of his arms
to hold me up as time travels by
he holds me close away from harms

My Lord is he and high in station
and tender love he freely dispenses
he lifts me up with joys elation
to reach my heart he has broken my fences

Around me has he builded a mansion
at his feet will I worship forever
with Love there is always rooms of expansion
and prove myself faithful to loves endeavor

His foundation is as solid as mountains
within his shelter I am always safe
Words of affection are shed like fountains
who’s waters are cool and never chafe

And so anointed with Love I am gifted
I know my soul and lived from it’s sources
one who was wretched and mean you have lifted
the words I have spoken among my discourses

To the temple of Love upon chief cornerstone
against this house will come many nations
with so many lovers we are never alone
upon them your wrath will flow with fixation

It is upon the Rock do I stand
I bow before the alter of Love
through it all do you hold my hand
as I worship in temple of God above

THE TEARS OF HEAVEN

THE TEARS OF HEAVEN

The Word of Truth is transforming
molds our hearts and give us warming
God is Love the Word has spoken
He collects those who are broken

He gave to us the core of his heart
so loves embrace we would never part
You have hid these things from the wise
and unto babes so show the prize

to the broken “the Fatherâ€￾ does Son reveal
those hard of heart does Son conceal
Cast your burdens upon the Son
Collect the Love he for you won

Enter into the temple of God
and the leave the world whose source is flawed
freely given are mercy and grace
so recognize you can loves face

He will heal all your wounds
take to himself the grief that looms
for perfect Love he faced torture stake
to give you comfort and your pain to take

Jesus was humble among men and meek
but with power the truth did speak
collected to himself those in need
his love was shown in every deed

His love for mankind did not hide
to give us life the reason he died
His tears to Father in private cried
so the tears of the masses would be dried

For only a moment was he forsaken
separated from Love his life was taken
Whosoever has ears to hear
know that God’s Kingdom is very near

Open your hearts and let Love in
if peace and harmony you would win
for nothing bad exists in Love
and eternal life is received thereof

THE SNARE

THE SNARE

Do you rejoice when visit’s trouble upon your kin
do you with verbal twist do cast your snare
when hurtful things present to neighbor men
and with sarcasm say you do not care

For time and chance in trouble are cast we down
what man among you escapes a razors edge
all mankind in this condition sometimes be found
and are taken surety for a pledge

When curse you call for evil fall
upon another soul
and show within your heart of sin
know that evil will take it’s toll

What you call down will in karma drown
not where you place a curse
you may find the words unwind
and happens in reverse

What is so bad and makes us sad
that parents do not teach
vindictive tools bad instruction fools
and cannot a heart to reach

Can you bet if you cast this net
your own foot not be taken
in verbal spill to cast your will
in your own device forsaken

And if be heard the spiteful word
what opinion do you think
of you beware will others share
and from your friendship shrink

If someone shares your confidence
and pains of heart has told
do you use their trust to fence
and take from them their gold

If want you love you must learn
to others not be cruel
for you find same return not kind
and yourself as thought a fool

BROKEN GIRL

I have no idea when this one was written , pretty much
I think back in the 80's well before I knew what repentance
was , and after my years among the sect of Witnesses ..
I had never been asked that I can remember if I had repented
of my sins ...even though I had a awareness of what they were
I think the fullness of it's realization and impact in the world of
men had not yet taken hold ..Many try to walk that walk of
"doing good" without ever coming to the knowledge of how
saturated with the fall we truly are , without repentance there
is no forgiveness nor can one be "born again" , unless of course
God decides it's time to interfere with your course as he has
done with many of us ...(that is not to say I haven't heard that
question in more than a few churches) and "scares the you know
what out of you" hahahaha and truly the early days of the intro
duction to the spirit I was ignorant enough to try and douse the
fire ..quite frightening really (and that can't really cover it) I was
literally impelled to write everything I knew about myself and
examine them ...closely ...and not from the easy perspective we
usually give ourselves but a forceful look at my true self ...I haven't
put many of those examinations up here ..a few but since this was
written long before the true examination it does indicate some little
awareness of my condition before our maker ...I have been
internally debating whether to add some of the earlier "from the spirit
of man" considerations ...my wordpress has that which was before
I was introduced "more fully' to the spirit of God ..and knowing why
ish and ishshah hid from the Lord ...

BROKEN GIRL

I waited for you to draw near
my beauty was only veneer
you asked me to love
and I could not
not as I ought
I knew I would bring
unhappiness and I
have turned away from you
because to bring you pain
sears my soul , I am not whole
but I am a hole , empty
without you
I am to broken to hold
what you give , it leaks
through me like a sieve
I cannot hold it
I have lost it and it is gone
So I carry on
would that I could have stayed
unafraid , that my touch
could harm you , to my alarm
and I slipped by you at last
I am your past
