I am like a crooked little Christmas tree.
My trunk is bent.
Branches are broken off.
In various places.
My needles are drying up.
And falling off.
Imperfect.
Flawed.
Broken.
Misshapen.
Distorted by sin.

And yet...
Still He loves me.
Because He bought me.
For a very high price.
The Blood of His Son.
Still He loves me.
In all my twistedness.
In all my waywardness.
Because He owns me.

I am like a crooked Christmas tree.
But He still puts His Light upon me.
And adorns me with His Love.
Transforming me.
From broken.
From crooked.
To beautiful.
Inspired by the book: "The Crooked Christmas Tree," by Damian Chandler.

Virtuous
Don't tell me I'm pretty
Tell me that I'm passionate
That I have drive
Tell me that I make you laugh
That I know how to make your day better
Don't tell me I seem nice
Tell me that I'm kind and compassionate
Tell me that I'm not afraid to dream and to dream big
Don't tell me I'm perfect
Tell me the you love me despite my flaws
That you want to spend the rest of your life with me
Don't tell me I'm beautiful
Tell me that you'll be faithful and forever true


My Veil of Life
Is colored with LOVE

Everyone insists, but...
How can I remove YOUR LOVE
From my life's colors?

How can I face the world
That looks down on my LOVE?

How can I go back home
Who insults me for LOVING?

How can I look into the eyes
Of the world that
Humiliates my LOVING YOU?

The society calls
My life sinful
Just because I LOVE YOU

Yet for the first time
I feel blessed of being really "born"
Since our LOVE happened

Since OUR LOVE happened
I've forgotten everything about
Life, living and work

Since OUR LOVE happened
I've forgotten the vows and
Promises I took to earn
Success, status & wealth

My eyes are set on my BELOVEDz
Now how the world expects me to
Toe the line of their
Rules, laws and traditions?

Today I say this to the world:

Life is sinful without LOVE
This life has only taught me
Illusion and delusion of living

It is YOUR LOVE...
That freed me up from fear
That taught me to REBEL
Against the cruel enslaving world
Against my own self - EGO "I"

In our LOVE, we stand together
In our LOVE, we stand tall
In our LOVE, we got a spine
In our LOVE, we self-introspect
Within each other's SOUL

Our veils of Life
Is colored with OUR LOVE

Let us splash our life
With RAINBOW colors of Our LOVE






My BELOVEDz
Wherever YOU are - Remember
Whatever YOU do - Remember
My prayers will guide your spirits
My blessings will sail YOU through
OUR LOVE-SOUL-CONNECT will protect YOU

Whenever you feel sad
I will take away your sadness
Whenever you will cry
My LOVE words will stop your tears flow
Whatever, whichever path you take
My LOVE will shower flowers on your path

If you long for me anytime
I will adorn myself with your longing
Even if I am not physically with YOU
Remember, I carry your SOUL within me
To live within YOUR every cells
I will sail you through every breathe of LIFE

Just look inward - within YOUR SOUL
And you will find me smiling in your heart
LOVING YOU like no one else LOVES YOU

If world separates me from YOU
Never feel sad and mourn on me
Do not let tears moisten your eyes
Always remember
My ETERNAL AGAPE LOVE for YOU

The sad eyes of my SOUL LOVE longing
Is present in your sadness & your pain
Feel the sacrifices and unbearable pain
I undergo every moment for YOUR LOVE
My LOVE has given you infinite LOVE
In all & every moment
In all and every births -
Past, present and future

My BELOVEDz
Wherever YOU are - Remember
Whatever YOU do - Remember
My prayers will guide your spirits
My blessings will sail YOU through
My LOVE-SOUL-CONNECT will protect YOU

You left me broken.

Because of you I judged myself a little harder.

Reasons you loved me were now the things I wanted to change.

Out of all things, you used my vulnerabilities against me.

Kindness was used as a weakness, but you were too. My love was taken for granted.

Even though I still loved you for a while afterwards i finally realized my worth.

Not only was i broken, but i was growing. And the new me was glowing. And the part of my life without you i just couldn't wait to show it. My confidence was my new strength and I had you to thank.

All because you left me.
