All I've known
of love
has been bound
by duty, expectation
filaments of need

golden moments
of being
recognized
a rare flicker
in the darkness.

I sought
a nameless place
where one could
defy the laws
of gravity

held captive
simply
by the radiance
of a rising sun
between us.
Years ago, I traded solitude  
for love’s vital beat
elusive and infinite

time accelerates, or maybe
I finally understand how fleeting
this charmed life is, as it moves

relentlessly toward their leaving.
I feel your love so close to me,
   while looking at the sky;
I sense your watching me right now
   as soft clouds roll on by!

No fear at all within my life,
   like Eagle in the wind;
I know you're always by my side,
   on You I can depend!

Although I fall away sometimes,
   with sins you must abhor;
I feel the devil tug at me,
   as waves tug at the shore!

I've seen your mercy in my life,
   sun shining down in rays;
My sins are all forgiven now,
   as moonlight turns to day!

I feel You working in my life,
   slight touch of guiding Hand;
I know You're present here with me,
   see footprints in life's sand!

I know You've never left me once,
   as lightning danced around;
I've felt so safe within Your arms,
   such peace and love I've found!

You fill my heart with joy each day,
   You take away all pain;
I feel Your love wash over me,
   like standing in the rain!

I thank You Lord for saving me,
   for guidance from above;
I know I'll live my life for You,
   tucked under clouds of love!

Trick me yea
Trick me nae
It is April Fool’s today
           A day of tricks
           A time for antics
           Just like those in politics
A POEM BY BAPCHA, MY LOVING WIFE
I love you all with Christ , unconditional Love.
For every one is a beautiful Creation of God.
So please do not be discourage here my friends.
For Christ has a beautiful purpose for each of you.
He  wants to bring you from darkness unto his Light.
Thus using the transformation of your poetry here.
To draw others unto him, for each of you here.
Are an example unto his to show this world his Light.
So fear not, be strong unto the Lord for he is good.

up above and down below
there are forces of our control
waiting for strength or weakness to show
then you will reap the seeds you sow

if you choose down below
then hell will be your fate
if you choose up above
heavenly gates will await

up above and down below
there's a battle for your soul
every weakness and strength they know
only you can choose which way to go

CA Guilfoyle
In spring, green along the river
amid ancestral foothills, we walk deer trails
wild in the woods of scented pine
of silver sycamores, silken barked
stark, they pale against bluest skies
their new leaves green and glistening
we are listening for songbirds, for a language without words
transfixed, through this portal, reborn in this world
warm winds speak sweet and susurrus of spring
melodious they sing, leaving far behind
the cold, the dead of winter.
