Dear  enchantress of beauty,

How could I ever overlook your pulchritude, when your radiance shines so brilliantly? In the garden of existence, your essence blooms with unparalleled allure, captivating all who have the privilege to behold your splendor.

Like a scarlet flame amidst a sea of blossoms, you were a rose of extraordinary allure. Your petals, kissed by the sun's tender caress, exuded an intoxicating charm that enraptured hearts with its vibrant hue. You were a masterpiece of nature, a symbol of grace and elegance that left admirers in awe.

Yet, amidst a tapestry of flowers, each vying for attention, it is not that I failed to notice your captivating presence. Rather, it was the fear of shattering the fragile silence, the hesitation to disturb the delicate balance of your existence. I stood there, spellbound by your ethereal beauty, my heart aflutter, lost in a momentary trance.

Oh, the regrets that now haunt my spirit! I yearn for the chance to embrace your ephemeral grace, to gaze deeply into your eyes and bask in the warmth of your enchanting aura. For in that fleeting moment, I sensed a connection, a cosmic thread that united our souls, transcending mere physicality.

Know this, my ethereal rose, that your pulchritude remains etched within my heart, a vivid memory that refuses to fade. Though our paths may have diverged, and time may have cast its relentless shadow upon our encounter, the memory of your allure lingers as a testament to the marvels of creation.

And so, dear pulchritudinous being, do not mistake my silence for indifference. I was but a humble admirer, captivated by the brilliance that emanated from your essence. For in that encounter, I glimpsed the extraordinary, and it forever left an indelible imprint upon my soul.

With longing and admiration,
A silent witness to your beauty

I gave half of my heart to Jesus
And the other half wallows in doubt
Casting dark shadows over my soul.

Why does the road always seem crooked
When the Bible tells us that it is straight.
Is it because I can’t read the map clearly.

Why are my every-days so dark and gloomy
When God’s love shines with such a bright light
That only requires opening the shutters.

Biblical verse is awash in enigma;
Where one place orders that you must stand tall
And another proclaims that you need to bow down.

The  half I committed is safe and contented
The half that is doubtful is lost and alone
The two halves at battle have left me immobile
For neither has won and only I lost.

Some move up.
