forgiveness foretold seventy times seven
hopes outstretched and reaching towards heaven

when I dwell in You, I shall not want
pen my life story in a baptismal font

a bouquet of jasmine
held with a bushel of pecks
to satiate a peckish heart

a longing way to go
we push past mirages,
running while chaste
to a tangible start

echoes and ripples a stone's throw away
on a body of water, corporeal form
atop spiritual warfare, ethereal disturbance
assured by a shoreline longing for warmth

clowning around juggling rings of fire
entranced by dichromatic sunbeams eclipse
an annular event set to bloom annually
petals unfurling on a time lapse of bliss

a range of emotions shines brightly in daylight
barred from the sparkle of candlelight's kiss
cheekily dancing around a bonfire burning
cardinals alight on a preordained niche

fall into him
while I fall into You
a romcom encounter
in the absence of pews

ambient roses
martyrdom's smile
mariposas aflutter
to stay for a while

guanábanas y piñas
le digo a las frutas: te amo

newly illumined, agua de vida
estoy aprendiendo como me llamo

an umbrage de gloria
blankets el cielo

en Dios, yo encuantro
felicidad bellows
