****** lifted into a faraway boundless realm;
A void where nothing else but only myself existed,
In a nowhere once lost amidst endless whelm;
All alone to atone for every sin that left me twisted.

My soul I surrendered to solitude to swallow,
My spirit I yielded to the echoes of God's whisper,
My body I forsook for the sake of tomorrow...
To have a new lease on life to live; even by a whisker.

From nothingness He appeared like my father,
Held my hand and walked me down a familiar path;
Where His words painted sky, land and water
With primordial paintbrushes of purity of the heart.

His breath, He breathed into the water to ripple;
The sky He shaded to begot cloud and the infinite land,
He tilled into brown soil to sprout trees in triple
And said, "For you I made all things anew as planned."

With these words, from my presence He vanished;
As His words reechoed and reverberated me into reality.
I stirred awake to crystal sunrays most cherished,
Streaming from sunrise into my existence's neo nativity.

Now, it's a new day, a new dawn and a new dream...
That God in my father's likeness gave me one more time;
And for me to grow I must let go to be at the helm.
From hindsight, I now know this' a prime most sublime.
Have you ever had a dream, and yet it seems so real, and often involves impossible images of the surreal"

Take a trip with me to lands unheard of
Through hidden passages,  secret doors, and unknown chambers deep within my mind
All you need is your imagination so leave everything behind
See creatures and sights so strange that they'll burn imprints on the pages of your brain.

Secrets are like hidden treasures waiting to be discovered
Like dead dreams being tucked away
Like the forbidden fruit waiting to be plucked
Like ugliness masked with beauty
Like deception shrouded in sincerity.

Momentary threads,
Knitted by nature’s craftsmanship;
Delicates into intricate
Entwined betwixt and between...

Thou, amongst others,
Breathes contentment, exudes pleasure;
That blissful delight,
Unfazed by complexities..

Thee everyone covets,
Only few embrace thine essence;
Whose existence
Frequently fickle and fades.
Happiness
It
  Is
    Well.
Its
   All
      Good.
These are not statements to use in order to live in denial of reality,
They're words to strengthen your heart when feeling hopeless..
It is well,

I was tired enough to weep
He still looked me in the eye
My baby boy only got his sleep
From the music of the lullaby

Even after we said the prayers
Many minutes did pass by
But he was soon taken unawares
By the magic of the lullaby

Yes, he's had milk to drink
And the comfort of a good cry
Now, his eyes close in sync
To the melody of the lullaby

I bestow on him a loving kiss
I tiptoe out and tell him bye
I owe this sweet rest and peace
To the miracle of the lullaby
My baby boy is a tough one to soothe to sleep. I've had to try many methods. The lullaby once came through for me and kept him asleep for a good while! :-)

O’ Gethsemane! Thou garden of grief,
That sanctum of solitude and sorrow;
Whence once I knelt by stone to seek relief
From anguish sore, that burned to the marrow.

In pain so grave this cup I wished away;
Yet like a lamb, to Father’s will, I bowed...
Sweat like stream of blood, dripped that night most gray;
Despite fears, I embraced my cup as vowed.

Disappointed by friends in time of need,
Betrayed with kiss most warm that sealed my fate;
Mean men seized and led me like thief in chain,
All my friends fled in fret for faded faith....

As Lamb of God, myself, I submitted;
To men I love, still me, they rejected.

Breathe thy sinful breath upon my solemn soul;
Let thy fragrance stir and arouse my entombed passion.
****** my dead desire from the grasp of heaven;
Tempt me into hell's unquenchable fire beyond comprehension.

Make naked love to me in wild warring arms of heaven and hell,
Let me wholly burn in fury fire and beautiful bliss;
Till ashes are enraptured into pixie dust enchanted to yell
My death into life over and over again with ease.

Chocolate, nothing taste better than rich creamy chocolate.  Such a delight, brown chocolate skin woman how sweet you must be.  Such a savory treat, brown chocolate skin woman.

Guileless loveliness,
Tainted by evil's lust
Into dreamy dark paradise...

Dearest Ceasaro,

I belong to your yesterday.
'Don't intend to resurrect the past.
I'm least worthy of your today,
But tomorrow I'll breathe my last.

Against none I've sinned but you.
'Umpteenth times myself I've crucified.
My life's not worth to pay the due,
For the anguish I caused can't be denied.

But I'm here lying ill and due to die.
My only dying wish's to die in your arms.
I beseech you, my plea don't deny.
Let my last breath be your healing balm.

'So sorry, but I love you, still do
And always will even in death...

Kim.
