What Lack I Yet?

A grateful son knelt down to pray,
determined at the end of day
to bow himself beneath the rod
and consecrate his soul to God.
A grateful son knelt down to pray,
determined at the end of day
to bow himself beneath the rod
and consecrate his soul to God.
In marriage, two become as one in spirit.
Sharp edges merge and flow between the lines.
Hearts soften, swell, and sweetly meld together,
a living testament to love’s designs.
No power on earth has meaning
independent of its source.
Our world has laws and limits
undeterred by human force.
Autumn is a feeling,
and it takes you for a ride.
Listen as the rhythm
of a heated, humid day
meets the drumming of a
fevered, fertile night.
when you feel like there’s no winning
find yourself a new beginning
keep on
You’ll always be the one for me;
we’re two peas in a pod.
So plump, so round…You’re all I see.
My soft, green heart is awed.
If you must cut me,
do the job with crystal.
Let ruby gemfire
lick (then burn)
your litany of
leavings
on my palm.
