I think love is what we need in the world.
We needed it so badly we created it. Then we fought over it. And we corrupted it. It even became a disease. Until we found it had a medicinal effect. It could heal.

Love seeps into the ground where we bury it. The decay leaves traces of it. So is love also in death? Love is powerful indeed.

If love can find its way in life and death, it must not be mortal like us. Perhaps we can call it Divine. It must be what we see when we look up to the sky.

That’s why we describe it in so many ways. It flows like the blood in our veins. And when we no longer have the strength in our heart, it becomes the soul of our own.

soft
sweet
soothing
sumptuous
a comfort to offer
an attempt to pamper
a big scoop of ice cream
after a root canal procedure
not  to  subside
or else to hide
the pain but
to  forget it
for awhile
and / or
get the
smile
back

A shape poetry after a long time

They say it’s impossible
To find the love that exists
In songs
In poetry
In films
But whole heartedly
I disagree
Because
Those mediums
Of songs
Poetry
Films
Simply wouldn’t exist
Without that kind of love
Not first being the muse
That inspires them

I am my loves garden
I am his secret enclosure
He comes to me by morning
The dew is yet fresh on the earth
He comes to his garden
He seeks my tenderness
Take and eat my sweet fruits
Drink the nectar of my blooms
He refreshes himself
By the droplets on my leaves
O, my love, my love
O, my groom

Each of us has a backbone,
That sustains us
and straightens our path.
My backbone is my Faith,
The path I follow is narrow
With certain scoliotic bends
But with all my heart I follow,
And eternity is where my road ends.
And who/what is your backbone?

Each day I strive to make someone happy
And feel very special, laugh and smile
When this mission has been accomplished
Then I can lay and enjoy my bed awhile
peacefully sleeping like an angel, almost
With the sweetest of dreams

Jesus loves me
This I know
Though I'm just a little toad
Sitting here upon this log
Eating flies all day long

Jesus loves me
Though I'm a deer
I know he keeps me very near
And when I've gone astray
He will bring me back again.
