Discourse on Love

Let me speak a bit on love,
if I may, my little dove.
Tell you what I see it as,
while I have some time to pass.

Though I know I've not yet shown
these things I write as my pen flows
my love it ever more shall grow
stemming deep within marrow.

Love is patient, oh so kind,
always on my heart and mind.
Love it lasts for all of time,
never does it lag behind.

Love suffers so very long,
love is oh so very strong,
love, when true, never steers wrong,
it resounds, a golden gong.

Never does it seek to harm,
deems it not to cause alarm,
wraps you up in tender arms,
love is quite the fertile farm.

Doesn't feel a bit of hate,
with compassion it relates,
it does not manipulate,
follows destiny and fate.

It can set my heart to race
and does so with mighty pace,
full of happiness and grace,
a grinning little Buddha face.

Judgement it does not display,
recovers quickly from a fray,
by your side it always stays,
doesn't fret or feel afraid.

Listens when you try to talk,
your advances does not balk,
likes to chat or take a walk,
never meddles, plots, or stalks.

Cuddles with you in its sleep,
swims with you in oceans deep,
climbs with you to highest peaks,
loves to simply hear you speak.

Scampers with you in sweet dreams,
through that forest of great trees,
lets you do just as you please,
yearns to show and teach you things.

I would even die for you,
if I knew it would help to,
mend your heart and make it new,
love is perfect, proud, and true.

It does not behave unseemly,
even if it can be needy,
never acts as if its greedy,
only happiness it brings thee.

Does not rant, rave, and curse,
flows with never ending verse,
is not cold, frigid, or terse,
lifts you up, places you first.

Fights off all the pain around,
that seems to seep from all the towns,
trumpets and the cymbals sound,
deep and mighty drums, it pounds!

Why, it could go on forever,
like a never ending letter,
trudging forth in any weather,
gaining strength and getting better.

Seeks to show how much it cares,
deepest secrets wants to share,
presents its self, love's heart is bare,
sends you hopeful healing prayers.

Is already in your life,
shielding you from pain and strife,
with compassionate joy rife,
loves you like it would a wife.

Tries and fails not to move fast,
lets go of the horrid past,
sets its sail on sturdy mast,
loves pure quest shall ever last.

Lost

Lord I'm calling out to you for help most every day.

I am lost within this world can't seem to find the way.

To be at peace within myself and all that I hold dear.

I am lost in anger, worry, strife, and lust and fear.

Will you let me fall into the darkness of abyss?

I am pleading with you God don't let it end like this.

I am calling out to you we need your guidance pleasee.

Will you show us that you're there so we may feel at ease?

I know you are here my Lord I beg you stop the tease.

I need all the help you give so others might believe.

Everyone is lost right now just floating in the breeze.

I need you to show me how to calm these autumn leaves.

Help us, I beg you, I know I can not make you.

Every second of my life I wander looking for you.

I am here, hurting for you, yearning searching always for you.

Grace yourself upon us so that we may always serve you.

Yes my Lord, I implore you, as I try hard to explore you

Read my heart for you know that I mean no dissing towards you.

As I wander, over yonder, I'll sit down and prolly ponder

What it is that I must do to know my holy father.

Give this man, this disgrace, just a little taste of grace.

Lord I want to see your face, show me Lord where is my place.

What's my fate, am I too late, I need answers now post haste.

Life's So Hard

Life's so hard throughout these days

with every trail, every way

I'm beaten, torn, and held at bay

right in the middle of the fray.

All I want is happiness

peace and joy, unending bliss

A warm embrace' a sweet soft kiss

I couldn't dream of more than this.

My only grace is God's pure hope,

it's like a strong unending rope

That helps me as I climb this slope

with all this stress it has not broke.

I try to find my way right now

even though i don't know how

Or what my simple strength allows

still i will try with humble bow.

I must thank our only God

with words and shouts of triumph trod!

Who keeps us safe as Satan prod's

our lives our hearts our very bods!

I'm strong while He does give me strength

I need no riches, fame, or rank

Care not for flesh or pride or banks

His love He gives to me at length.

I know i need not worry here

He'll give me all that i hold dear

In time he will dispel my fears

and does as i cry happy tears.

Thank you Lord for all you've done

for with your help I've always won

Still with trials weighing tons

i will survive for I'm his son.
