Reflection...

To be a reflection of Him
is what my soul requires

To breath the air He freely gives
is what my spirit yearns to be forever real

To understand the intricacies of who He is
is the beginning of knowing Him

To be drawn into the midst of His presence
unravels the truth and purity of His love

...and then I call Him my....

... and then I call Him my king

because He crowns my heart with

the full richness of His ever increasing love

... and then I call Him my peace

because through the knowledge of Him

I am still and rest assured in His proven abilities

...and then I call Him my joy

because my heart skips in tune

to the beat of obedience,

in rhythm to His perfect will

... and then I call Him my future

because my dreams and aspirations will be

birthed through Him, everything

I am to become, is moulded by the

words He has already spoken over me

Not Impossible For Love...

It is impossible for love not to hear us
when we passionately invoke its very presence;
daily and consciously, with hope resting on

raw expectations calling for its true,

pure and perfect visitation

It is impossible for love not to desire to rescue us.
Rescue us, from self imposed constrictions;

constructed walls of loneliness, that surround and separate us

The soul must keep pushing towards completion

breaking forth and forging through all limitations

It is impossible for love not to want to lend its patient ear

For cries of its wondrous fulfilment, seeps from the

depths of the very soul; without the vessel uttering a

single word, of its desire for Love's rescue

to be complete and for its gift to be bestowed.

I Hoped To...

I tried to write a collaboration of words on this page

to help you visualise your love through my eyes

what could, should and hopefully might or will be

If and when you gift me with your heart

I wanted to present something on this page

to unravel the intricate nature of Love's lifeline

A llifeline that could, might or will commence, if

hopefully, you eventually, link your heart with mine

I aspired to lay bare, a silent a poem on this page

a piece impregnated with words, carefully woven

together with the sole purpose of invading your

subconsciousness, creating visual representations

of the shape, nature and desires of a hopeful,

yet, unknown beloved...

When I say...

A few friends are getting married and I have been wondering about those two words "I DO" that will be said on that fateful day. The words that seal or close the deal. The words that ends singleness, that gives the final "Go ahead" or "Permission" for "two to become and live as one". I sometimes wonder what goes through minds when they say utter those words "I DO".

When I say I do

I am saying "I Love You"

in totality, honesty and truth

devoted only to you

When I say I do...
It means every breath I take

will be to inhale the essence of you

encouraged by the love I have for you

When I say I do...

It means my life will be a testimony

to the love, I have been favoured to find in you

Its covering will be my daily experience

It's meanings engraved within my existence

Renewed...

Like flowers filled with morning dew
my heart, with time, is refined
re-built, reshaped and renewed

Ignited with strength and life,
ready to experience love anew

Reluctantly riding on the
wings of patience, I am
encompassed by his essence
intrigued by his love’s ambiance

Eager to experience conversations in earnest
about my love… real love, unselfish love,
unadulterated, pure complex yet simple love;

residing within the walls of my existence

poised to distill its untold richness

in the midst of his gifted presence
