If this is not how love is

At a time in loving kindness you smiled merrily
but now you do not act that way and are not so
and it’s as if you think I want your life to overthrow
and now it’s as if you do not even regard me

and this is not the way that I want you to be
and at times some of your tears do flow
and sometimes away I want to go
but without you I am never really free

and are desperate among men
and you are in my heart wherever I might dwell
and when I am away I really miss you then
and this is what happens to you as well

and if this is not how real love is,
then I have never known its depths and its bliss.

The sparkle in your smile (Elizabethan Ditty)

The sparkle in your smile
fall like morning dew,
the shining of your eyes beguile
the toil that is waiting fresh and new,

but had you charmed me
at early morning light
from work we would be free
until the darkness of night.

The one he likes..

The one he likes..The one he wants to be with..Just to spend some time..
Those few moments he would never forget..But only If he gets a singe chance or even a glimpse..
It seems difficult..But not impossible..
He fell in love with that voice, that beautiful voice..The way she speaks, is like a fresh and gentle breeze..
Voice that makes him alive everytime..He loves her loyalty and trust, even for someone else..
He respects her more because of her honesty..She must be a beautiful person..
An internally beautiful and delicate person which can enlighten his whole world.

Poem: Comfort Zone

O my Lord, long ago I accepted the idea
of being open and accepting of change.
My resistance was ultimately futile, when…
Salvation caused my life to be rearranged.

For my perspective was spiritually altered
and my heart was subtly humbled by You;
when ready, I sought after Your Kingdom,
knowing that I would remain in Your view.

Know that there can be joy in serving others,
which is complemented with learning opportunities;
depths of understanding can be accelerated,
for we’re taught to look differently and see…

the holy lessons Christ has intended for us!
Interactions with the Body of Christ may be hard,
since the religious honing of ‘iron against iron’
can leave one’s soul feeling dulled and scarred.

Spiritual maturity is an important aspect
in the development of faith that can’t be overblown;
for a real relationship with Christ insures that…
His Children are pushed - out of their comfort zone.

Author Notes:

Loosely based on:
Matt 8:20, Prov 27:17 and the following commentary from Abraham Israel

At the same time when Jesus said, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” (Matt 8:20), it does not mean that Jesus described how poor He was to not even have a place to rest or buy a pillow and a mat to sleep. Instead Jesus used a figure of speech to convey to the certain scribe who came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go,” that when he wants to follow Jesus who does the will of God all the time according to heaven's instruction, then he has to forget about having a permanent place to sleep and a comfortable bed time. Implicitly Jesus was saying to that scribe who was very excited about following Jesus, that in the will of God, persecution might come and he will have flee from place to place, they might catch hold of him and bring him before kings and governors as a testimony for God, then from time to time food will not be placed in a table to be eaten and a time when no proper place to rest also might arise at certain times. And to another disciple who wanted to follow him, Jesus clearly expressed that in the will of God he might have to leave his father and mother and his fleshly family and relatives to go away to fulfill the will of God for his life. Sadly both of these above people did not follow Jesus further because they felt that the cost of the discipleship was great and that they were not able to leave their comfort zones.

But if we are thankful to God in the will of God with a gratitude for giving life as a gift to experience and not just hold on to our bodily comfort as the prime priority even above obeying the voice of God, then we will be very happy, joyful and content like the family above to experience heaven on earth again and again. Then we will also be followers of Jesus and his true disciples in the world as long as we are present. May God help us to be the true followers of Jesus!

Poem: Climate for Miracles

Never doubt the Love of God and His promises;
for with Jehovah, all things are eternally possible.
Nothing is beyond the grasp of His hand, since He is…
Creator of the Universe and Master of the impossible.

Therefore, chose to believe in heavenly miracles
and honestly respect His “Law of Agreement”.
Discard spiritual doubts and confess your sin;
enlarge your faith and renew your commitment.

Speak continually against the mounting issues of life,
for with focused faith, they can be removed from view.
Hold out for God’s best… by applying His Principles!
Know that He honors His Word and the results are true.

Accept the unexplainable; His ways are superior to ours.
Take human limits off God’s ability; expect a turn-around.
Practice all tenets of faith and walk in His Light;
insure that your ideology is always Scripturally sound.

A climate for miracles… is still possible today,
when recognizing that Christ is the Life, Truth and Way!

I AM HERE FOR YOU!

I AM HERE FOR YOU,
TO MAKE YOU SMILE.
WHEN YOU'RE FEELING DOWN,
TO WALK THAT LAST MILE...

I AM HERE FOR YOU,
TO EASE YOUR PAIN.
AND DRY YOUR TEARS,
WHEN THEY FALL LIKE RAIN..

I AM HERE FOR YOU,
WHEN YOU NEED ME,
TO STAND BESIDE YOU,
AND I, ALWAYS WILL BE..

I AM HERE FOR YOU,
WHEN YOU NEED A FRIEND.
TO TELL YOUR TROUBLES TO,
AND I AM HERE TILL THE END...

Farewell conversation

To you I tried to write a long poem
but did become deeper engaged in sadness
and later did draw lines through the words,
and I did cry and wrote no verses to you
as to me it was a task that I could not do.
To you I tried to write a long poem

but you did not want to be in love with me
and I am only blinded by the great pain
and now nothing really does matter.
but to you I tried to write a long poem.

Evanescence

Far too quickly life does past
and even meaning comes to a end
while loved ones disappear one after the other
without anyone being able to change anything of it
and it’s as if pain does cut right through your body.
Far too quickly life does past

and even thoughts do not want to stay with you
and jolliness and youth are bound to time
while everything passes quickly
and totally alone life leaves everyone.

When time does bring me nearer

When time does bring me nearer
and all of my years are running out
at a time and place where I loose my mind
and do forget myself and all of my writings
then life does become an ugly thing.
When time does bring me nearer

then I ask the Father to act
to prepare a place for me at His time
to be sorry for me in His great mercy
and to end my life to bring it to its fullness.

CROSSBARS

The depression,
human brand was trapped.

They were talking about
the nukes.

To annihilate
the earth. It was elemental,

I said. An ardent
fan of moon.

A lark asks
who will survive?
