MIRROR RAVAGED

I was deeply annoyed.
One by one they were falling,
walking in quagmire.

For duplicating rights?
Dead pelicans, pouch empty.
Somebody was picking ants from the air.

Give me some cold pack,
my head is throbbing hot,
I am burning.

Nine year old innocent
raped by a septuagenarian.
A twin pregnancy. I will go insane.

They were still talking about
the golden beach, and perfected will.
Too late to count the gods.

The pale body was untying the mask.
The suffering borrows from the death
and embryo becomes a temple.

In My Quiet

In my quiet, I think of you, all the things you’ve seen me through,
How indeed, you came to me, to open my eyes towards Calvary,
As you showed me just who I am, a sinner, in need of The Lamb,
The Lamb from earth’s foundation, to bring to all, your Salvation.

How I was embraced in your love, accepting me just where I was,
Accepting me, in my sinful life, while guiding me to Jesus Christ,
Who forgave me of all my sin, to indwell me with His Spirit within,
To lead me in all of God’s Truth, with my New Life as living proof.

Regarding Truths, I did not know, His Holy Spirit helped me grow,
In God’s Truth and Righteousness, in the Spirit of my Lord Jesus,
Who helps and leads me day to day, along this life’s Narrow Way,
All this provided at my new birth, to live anew for Him on the earth.

Not only did you provide salvation, you assist me in all tribulation,
Around every bend in this life, you’re my comfort through all strife,
Even when the trial may not cease, you supply an enduring peace,
Peace supplied by the Spirit of Christ, as you guide me in this life.

I also ponder your promise to me, of life ahead with you, eternally,
For by The Spirit, I’ve been sealed, for eternity ahead yet revealed,
All provided through your grace, so soon I’ll see my Savior’s face,
This, when I enter into Eternal Life, to live forever with Jesus Christ.

Questions Above

Many questions, seventy times seven, may be asked once in Heaven,
Our thoughts about the patriarchs, one or more questions this sparks,
Or maybe questions about this life, just why so much pain and strife?
Or the things we can’t comprehend; may prompt questions in the end.

But with a pure mind and heart, many of those questions shall depart,
This when we enter into Eternal Life, now, with the pure mind of Christ,
Former things remembered no more, as we step on that eternal shore,
With an eternal mindset instead, as past is behind with Eternity ahead.

The things we could not comprehend, shall come to light at that bend,
The final turn at the end of our life, as we see the face of Jesus Christ,
With our glorified body and mind, those former things are well behind,
Many questions we may have asked, may be faded things of our past.

Most things from the former time, shall pale in the light of the sublime,
As the Crystal Sea and streets of gold, with our Lord our eyes behold,
Mindful now, of the things to come, as we enter, His Eternal Kingdom,
A Kingdom that shall not pass away, one, where we’ll be there to stay,

Many things that we now ponder, may fade away as we get up yonder,
Earthly things will lose their allure, as we begin a new life for evermore,
Many questions now thought of, will likely fade in His presence above,
As Christ answers more than we ask, when we begin, that Eternal Task.

Changing Not

Many men may acknowledge the Lord, but, in their life He is ignored,
The many state they believe in Him, however, continue in a life of sin,
Many, even accept God’s Salvation, while they ignore His Revelation,
About all the changes in a life, when a person comes to Jesus Christ.

Their walk reflects no obvious Change, as their life remains the same,
While they profess to have believed, they live as if they are deceived,
As God’s eternal enemy, says change isn’t required, for others to see,
So, he walks not with his brothers, or shines his light for all the others.

Living in a world that’s so depraved, when by The Lord, we are saved,
Through God’s Power of Salvation, believers become a New Creation,
Given by God the Spirit of Christ, to live for our Lord a brand new life,
As a living testimony to Him, The Lord Jesus, Who saved us from sin.

If Apostle Paul felt the obligation, our life also, should be a revelation,
Of what The Lord God has done for us, through His Son, Christ Jesus,
Even if a change should be belated, every believer is surely obligated,
To be for God, a light and a witness, of Jesus Christ’s Righteousness.

For The Savior, Who left His Majesty, to become sin, for you and me,
We should have more than obligation, for life should be a celebration,
A nonstop celebration in Jesus Christ, this as we surrender all our life,
As we make changes, to Godly ways, for God’s honor and His praise.

Father To Friend

My Father, Savior, Lord and Friend, God is there, at every bend,
To go to Him is never a bother, as He cares for me like a Father,
Being the Eternal Creator, He loved me enough to be my Savior,
And as I journey with my Lord, nothing in my life, will be ignored,
For The Lord God is my Friend, walking with me through the end.

As my Father God cares for me, with care that goes into eternity,
My ways, my Father understands, for all my life, is in His Hands,
For all my life God is responsible, this as, He carries out His will,
Providing needs as a father would, as God’s care is understood,
In ways beyond an earthly man; this, as I am in The Father’s plan.

By my Savior, I was redeemed, through His Blood I was cleaned,
Redeemed from the market of sin, while given a New Life in Him;
On the cross Christ took my wrath, to put me on a different path,
From death, I was given life, through redemption, in Jesus Christ,
Because The Savior died for me, I now have a New Life, eternally.

As my Lord Christ is in control, of my mortal life and eternal soul,
Leading me by The Spirit of Christ, while God controls all my life,
Moving through my life to fulfill, not my own, but, The Lord’s will,
While I’m obligated to my God, to be His witness wherever I trod,
This as my destiny’s fully assured, through the power of my Lord,

As my Friend God walks with me, upon the path towards Eternity,
A real Friend Who is always there, to show me His Love and Care,
He, Who for me, suffered and died, now, daily walks by my side,
As my guide and a comfort too, as my trials He sees me through,
In ways I couldn’t comprehend, without a Father, Lord and Friend.

Be Ready

Not ready for the rapture my friend; you aren’t ready for the end,
An ending that shall overtake, this entire world, make no mistake,
An ending that’ll shock the world, as God’s Judgment is unfurled,
On a world that has gone awry, from The One Who reigns on high.

The Lord’s Judgment is guaranteed, only the rapture will proceed,
His coming Judgment of every nation, a time of great Tribulation,
Against God the nations rage, so, on the world He turns the page,
The final pages out of prophecy, regarding all the nations destiny.

Those who’ve not feared the Lord, though by grace have endured,
Will see The Lord’s uplifted hand, throughout each and every land,
From God’s Heavenly Habitation, He will surely strike every nation,
All that were opposed to God, will be Judged by Christ’s Iron Rod.

For those in Christ, a different story, as believers shall be in Glory,
For those, Christ has prepared, a place above, and will be spared,
All His Wrath and the desolation, for in the Lord we have salvation,
His Redeemed are on another path, that we shall not see His wrath.

In light of The Word, one can’t afford, to not be found in The Lord,
For when the rapture does take place, that will be the end of grace,
It won’t be a pretty place or time, for those on the earth left behind,
So dear friend believe in Christ, and you will be in the Book of Life.

It did rain for days

It did rain for days
sometimes hard and at other times soft
and the thunder flashed blue-white
while all of nature was waiting on refreshment
but in our home we were sheltered comfortable,
we smelled the rain, heard the birds sing.
Together we did spend that time,
found something wonderful in each small thing
and the lawn was suddenly green
while new flowers were rising everywhere
and others did bloom in the new season of spring,
did astound us with their smell and beauty
and between us there was a tighter band
of love that goes deeper than feelings and the mind.

Moments in the sun

This afternoon I wanted to catch a moment in the sun with you
as if pulling out weeds in the garden after the spring rain
could bring something special to our being together
and with you I wanted time to linger
as if I was longing for wonderful moments
and the whole afternoon we were together and alone,
our conversation was about general things
in a garden with flower blooming and bird song
and then I realised about a garden of the heart
where the sun also does sometimes shine
and thunder clouds do come at times
in moments of pain and sorrow
and there was something special in being together
with the sun shining around us.

WRINKLING

Give me not your style today:
the visceral truth, liberated
from painkillers.

Spying singles out the flesh
after the resentment of torture
to do more wrong;

going away in yesterday
puts the life in apocalyptic shade,
the orange condoles for dark

when I lie still on flames
of sandalwood, setting the sun
bleed in blue eyes

of lonely sea. I am again
sleepwalking on salt lake ready
to draw the boundary of reasons,

the second-hand stitch for the eternal wound.

Poem: Emotionally Stable

My soul prospers, regardless of my financial state;
my blessings come from God; upon Him, I willingly wait.

Constantly meditating on The Word, gives me peace,
since I recognize… that the Lord’s promises never cease.

When perceiving what issues are really important,
insures that I remain happy and thoroughly content.

El Shaddai, my God, of more than enough,
has nothing to do with me having more stuff.

Jehovah meets all of my needs abundantly,
especially when I honestly open my eyes and see…

that He continues to love me unconditionally!
And it’s my privilege, to trust Him completely.

My faith is far from a fake and fanciful whim,
seeing that my spirit is in alignment with Him.

With divine access to the “mind of Christ”,
I’m reenergized to appreciate His eternal life.

Although common events of life are not inevitable,
my approach will always remain… emotionally stable.

Author Notes:

Loosely based on:
John 14:27; 3 John 1:2; Phil 4:13
