#*I saw a path and ran ahead I nearly lost my way Your mercy caught me by the arm To Your side You bid me stay I put my hope in my own plans Which soon around me fell You stopped me short upon that road And said, "Rest and all will be well." I'd surrendered all, but to my foe Enticed into the briars You turned his evil schemes instead Into refining fires I couldn't see my helplessness Until my legs were broken Till Shepherd's hands caressed my wounds And healing words were spoken You picked me up and carried me And made me feel Your favorite You held my head against Your chest Until I grew to savor it You tended me with gentlest touch Then soothed all thought of fears You sang forgiveness over me And washed away my tears There is no one like You, Lord On whom I can rely In loss, in danger or attack You hear this poor sheep's cry It's You Who keeps me from real harm Who watches my coming and going You shield me with Your strong right hand From darts the enemy keeps throwing You said to all who trust in You You would give perfect peace Enough for mind and heart to rest To let all worrying cease So, Lord, I trust You with my life Your Shepherd's heart is pure Your purpose for me's guarded well And Your deliverance is sure Please teach this sheep, Lord, how to wait And strengthen me to stand To put my hope in Your desires And to love Your sovereign plan You lead me into fields so green Where streams of life are flowing Where healing winds blow oft' and strong And choicest fruits are growing You set me free to hear Your voice To follow at Your call And even through the dark, cold nights I'll know You've arranged it all Yes, storms will come with battering rains With hail and gusts and thunder But these are meant to beckon me To Your wings to pull me under For it's in the darkness of the storm My grip's most apt to tighten And when my heart beats next to Yours All earthly burdens lighten*#

precious innocent soul skipping rocks on cobblestone roads vulnerable untarnished pure no residue of earthly soil return me to that naiveté unburdened by layers of fake masks and perfect capped teeth in narcissistic societies but I shan’t grasp at ethereal edges of nebulousness and ephemeral innocence i shall endure what I abhor a master’s soul cannot be forged in paradise wisdom’s essence ‘tis not pristine white hints of ivory tinge the effervescence of the sage’s breath ©2016janetaylor

hints of ivory
I oftentimes recall a boy, To whom all life was simple joy, Who never let life get him down, And reached for the celestial crown. Although inside his heart was broke, He'd treat life as just a joke. Good friends he never seemed without- To see him smile removed all doubt. One day he ate a box of pills, And finished with all earthly thrills, To think of it brings me a chill, I wish that he was smiling still...

Suicidal Smiles
Day-colored wine, night-colored wine, wine with purple feet or wine with topaz blood, wine, starry child of earth, wine, smooth as a golden sword, soft as lascivious velvet, wine, spiral-seashelled and full of wonder, amorous, marine; never has one goblet contained you, one song, one man, you are choral, gregarious, at the least, you must be shared. At times you feed on mortal memories; your wave carries us from tomb to tomb, stonecutter of icy sepulchers, and we weep transitory tears; your glorious spring dress is different, blood rises through the shoots, wind incites the day, nothing is left of your immutable soul. Wine stirs the spring, happiness bursts through the earth like a plant, walls crumble, and rocky cliffs, chasms close, as song is born. A jug of wine, and thou beside me in the wilderness, sang the ancient poet. Let the wine pitcher add to the kiss of love its own. My darling, suddenly the line of your hip becomes the brimming curve of the wine goblet, your breast is the grape cluster, your ******* are the grapes, the gleam of spirits lights your hair, and your navel is a chaste seal stamped on the vessel of your belly, your love an inexhaustible cascade of wine, light that illuminates my senses, the earthly splendor of life. But you are more than love, the fiery kiss, the heat of fire, more than the wine of life; you are the community of man, translucency, chorus of discipline, abundance of flowers. I like on the table, when we're speaking, the light of a bottle of intelligent wine. Drink it, and remember in every drop of gold, in every topaz glass, in every purple ladle, that autumn labored to fill the vessel with wine; and in the ritual of his office, let the simple man remember to think of the soil and of his duty, to propagate the canticle of the wine.

Umm, the presence and scent of a man Magnetic attraction where his feet stands His natural body charismatic aroma Element of charms, seeping to awaken a woman out a sensual coma Is it his eyes, the soul behind his life’s mysteries Flirtation in his smile, tells me he has an undercover ****** history It is his nose that smells out my charms An enticing deep baritone voice, his spoken words, which turns me on Is it the erratic heartbeat he has for a woman, his passionate relent Stealing my breath, as he tenderly seals my lips in an impassioned moment of content The strength in his biceps His triceps Strong, yet such comforting arms An epitome of steel, circled around a woman in winter life’s storms In the cold of night, his body providing your heated warmth His chest, a hard pillow to tell your doubts, your uncertainties, your fears Pulling you closer onto it, his reassuring words eradicating your tears His intellectual mind to think as a man A stimulating, slam bam and thank you ma’am, or your personal grand slam His weakening love, taking your body beyond the stars Woman from Venus, my handsome Man for Mars His groin, and his family jewels from which it springs forth Erected compass of his wand now pointing North A woman’s reservation to tease, please, stroke, or allow it to choke His loud murmurs shadowing your moans, echoing in the wind **** I love the presence of men, and his undulated carnal sins From the first taste of honey dipped Butter *** me As his giving oral fixation is traveling free Freeing the elixir of juices that deems to flee His hairy legs as he stands to lift my weight In the shower, no wait, as I anticipate Hooking my twerking bait His physique in general…Oh, God thank you Without the scent of a man, we women would not know what to do Your presence to a woman is our earthly food Our je ne sais quoi for our every ****** mood Rather you are standing, lying still, or upside down The blissful 69 number conquered as we’re fooling around My Dream Weaver My distance heartbeat receiver His dripping sweat Droplets to my skin have been met The presence and scent of a man holds me throughout the night as our eyes finally rest

To love Jesus is to long with Him But that longing is not enough There is a need *To structure our lives * Around spending time with Him. To desire also means to be disciplined And then, we found ourselves Delighting in the Lord. It captures the essence Of what it takes To develop a consistent devotional life. You can be motivated with great desire, But without discipline You will never get there Discipline positions us To receive grace; Discipline is not grace It is the submission of our heart To encounter the grace of God. It is not about whether God loves us — His love is sure Whether we are disciplined or not — But it is our wholehearted response To Him that allows us to find Him. One must delight in the Lord And shear every misfitting And earthly delights.

3Ds: Desire, Discipline, Delight
Skins touch with a shocking wave of electromagnetic beats, the tempo of our hearts sync in melodies. When you kiss me with your tender lips, my mind becomes... Electromagnetic. Earthly fields summon my spirit when you come unto me with your sweet lavishing ways. You lay there...on my bed, with me...it's just us 2 alone with the TV on and when i turn to look at you, your eyes are more of a sharp blue than the daylight brings. I laid there with my eyes closed and felt the gentle grasp of your hand massage my **** when i slowly opened my eyes around the room...i see you, staring at me with those Electromagnetic eyes and once again we fall into a trance for loves best symphonies. Whenever you're with me, The room, My soul, Our bodies...become... Electromagnetic..

This pink mass of mist it glows when we touch my waking has surrendered it belongs to you but the boulder this crippling weight still sits misty fog can't fly can't float never could that rocky weight it finally caught a cloud and pinned it down i didn't mean to show you i never wanted you to see this this amazingly heavy burden I carry please don't let it catch your cloud maybe I too often feel like a burden only because I have lived as one and this fear of being what I am it adds ounces every day maybe that's what I've been trying to get rid of not my earthly weight but the one that caught my cloud Is that the one I've been trying to starve out?

Warning: Please do not feed the clouds
Someday, someday far away when all the pain has passed beyond the sea, the sun the stars I'll find you...love...at last Though raging storm or cosmic ray may tear my limbs apart my love for you they cannot sway for you possess my heart Our Earthly lives hold many fears remorseless in their quest to break apart the bonding years for which we've stood the test Those precious times together cocooned in love's embrace a breathless bead upon my brow that falls upon your face Remember me my Angel's dream as soon my life is through for every sinew of my soul belongs alone to you.

Someday
Once I undertook a journey, upon the very face of our entire world. To view for myself the many pictures, and written descriptions in all the geography books and History Classes, National Geographic magazines and movies seen. A Quest to see with my own eyes what I had only experienced second hand. In my mid twenties, like a dream, one foot in front of the other, I went about exploring. I sniffed and tasted the scents of foreign lands, Incense, Sage and Frankincense, fish curry, fried snake and even monkey brains. Walked in lush Jungle Bush and Desert sands, Along the shores of Islands and the coasts of many lands. Heard the voices of 30 divergent Dialects and cultures, smiling and laughing with the families and children of all of them. Set beside the fires of primitive tribal men, heard their chants to their gods above, the moon, stars and the sun, the ocean, the land. Clapped my hands and moved my feet in their ancient mystic dances. Drank their tea, Kava or whatever they shared grateful for their offered unselfish brotherhood. Stood on the flanks of the tallest Mountains in the world, on my toe tips, to try to see the face of the God of my youthful teachings, disappointed when I did not see him, or Her. Found instead an inner tranquility, imparted to me by Red robbed Monks from within their chants of Peace and wise earthly enlightenments. Strolled the cobbled streets of two thousand year old Cities. Walked among the ruined remnants of nearly forgotten once great Civilizations. Explored Modern European Citadels' of wealth and learning. Over time rode on planes, ships, buses, backs of open trucks, Horse pulled carts and human drawn rickshaws, taxis, subways, rented motorcycles and cars.  Walked perhaps 1000 miles. In all a journey of the mind and heart lasting three years. And why you might ask, "What qualifies you as a pilgrim of any kind, to travel so far, and wide?" "What was I looking for, what did I hope to find?"   All indeed, fare questions. When a boy, I read a simple five word line, “Seek and thee shall find". Curiosity and Horizon Lust compelled me.   The next obvious question you might ask is, after all that; “What did you find?” That answer is very simple, I found myself.

There’s love within our family tree and happiness abound. Our roots are deeply planted in rich and fertile ground. We enjoy the rays of sunlight, and endure the winds and rain, and when a leaf falls from our tree, together we share the pain. God gave us earthly families and never did intend, that bonds of love built on Earth, upon our death should end. For when our life is over and from earth our souls will flee , one by one, leaf by leaf He’ll rejoin our family tree.

Family Tree
I was in love with anatomy the symmetry of my body poised for flight, the heights it would take over parents, lovers, a keen riding over truth and detail. I thought growing up would be this rising from everything old and earthly, not these faltering steps out the door every day, then back again.

Before Sleep
The seeds of truth and love and light are scattered all around Some among thorns and rocks or on the path, but some will find good ground These are the conditions in which our souls can be found Those among rocky soil are shallow and cannot take hold When the heat is on in life they wither truth be told And at times it seems they act distant mechanical and cold Amidst the thorns and weeds the souls that fall Find their deaths in the earthly siren’s call Thirdly they that fall on hardened soil build up a rugged wall Response to pain or suffering one creates a shield For fear of getting hurt again but needing to be healed Difficult to break through or down to deliver truth revealed Finally the soul that falls on fertile soil and grows deep root Healthy and pure they bear plentiful and beautiful fruit This can be our destiny and our lives can follow suit At different times in our life our souls can be Any one of the soul’s soils you see But we can choose and act any of these So let us strive without end to find good soil not to break but to bend Not to weaken but to heal not to tear but mend and seal Set your seal upon us Lord and help us have the strength and grace Sign your name upon our hearts as we sign ourselves with the father son and holy spirit Deliver us from temptation and sin to your heart Oh Lord and we pray for our soul’s deliverance AMEN

Sowing Souls and their Soils
He was swept out to sea and lost to the treacherous waves His head broke water once or twice but he couldn't be saved God did smite him to spite him for all the love that he gave And he looked up to heaven and he forgave As he washed away there was no earthly thing that he craved For what good does it do to curse When disaster strikes you while you're at your worst And you are stuck wishing the waves had taken you first And dragged you out forever to sea He found himself unable to break through the current, so he ceased to be His forlorn lover waited like a stone upon the beach To catch just a glimpse of the man she could no longer see A man who had taught her what it was to be free Now is it fair that he had to go? Is it right that nobody knows Where his soul went after his body went down below Dragged out into eternity by the undertow So she sits and waits for his return Though it was long ago that his fate was learned Because still her body yearned For his seasick touch, caring and concerned Then one day she finally broke down As the waves receded and there in the sound She found his body drowned And his soul was no where in sight The whole time he had watched her on that beach Forever waiting and wanting but out of reach "I'll be here waiting forever" he silently screamed Just waiting for her to cease to be And as she walked out in the waves She looked to the sky to not be saved And at that point she was filled with dismay She didn't know if she'd find him there At the end the air burst from her lungs The ******* sound of the sea made her undone And they were reunited as one Two souls lost forever at sea There was such beauty in her death Her fearless attempt to reach across the stretch of desolate darkness past the confines of the flesh Just to find that she would be with her lover yet Under the waves forever

Reunited at Sea

In a loud corridor Full of young people I move slowly, reconciled. I have lived a little longer than they have. And yet I do not know how They recognize my face, They smile at me so calmly. On the walls Reproductions of masters. One calls me, Face distorted, Naked in his suffering. I stop my thoughts. I look. I see his bitten soul. Too many sunsets in blood-red color. He and she, They lost everything And yet they still see so much love. I am already with them, on their portrait. I am part of these colors. I search in a corridor of eclipses, Flashing hopes. To soothe their dignity, To save the bond between them. I take this story in my hands, so gently. Together, we look into earthly wounds. We allow them to scar over, Day after day, Year after year. Until they grow over with life. Until they grow over with green grass. I will be happy. Observing how they grow in true strength Of human fragile beings, Of impatient humanity, longing to be reborn.

Prolog: Foreplay opens with an aphrodisiac dubbed the mind caressing private chambers with passion, over time words stimulating nerve-endings for the ideal tease like the skin dripping of honey from the nectar of bees exploiting the fragrances of scented oils and balms or maybe vib’ing lyrics inducing a seductive calm compelling forces bombard the intellectual’s sanity as the proximity of the blackhole distorts humanity Love’s Play: Costars entwine heated bodies for love’s embrace as moments become endless as vectors of subspace sporadic movements take the form of blissful spasms while the players combine to mold a single plasm ringing chimes fulfill the awareness with sensations too diverse to classify for logical deliberations yet finally, the mountaintop of cliffs can be reached where there is no retreat and no return from its breach Epilog: Aftermath closes basking from the physical exertion as two kindred spirits epitomize timeless insertion gazing deeply into the abyss of the partner’s soul only to find comfort and compassion ruling the role can this be the earthly heaven that one truly beholds written in the historic words as the heavens foretold feelings ignite once again burning deeply within opening yet another intriguing act, one must attend.

Love’s Play
Technology Has empowered humanity Like humanity has been never been empowered The concern It has not only empowered humanity to a new level Brings in the ill effects humanity might face In the present and  future The new concern for humanity The use of technology in the wisest way possible Earth and nature The very root of humanity Been in shade Noblest thing that can be done Is the wise use the of technological advancement In the pathway of revival of nature In the natural and earthly essence of life Of course In global scenario there are corporates Big hulks That only go for accumulating more and more Whose concern Is not the nature and humanity Now the question arises The history of humanity We crave to discuss about now Has it the future time frame long enough? As the past time frame We are talking about in interest Or the ignorance and unconscious humanity Lead to the path of eliminating its own race?

Technology - the concern
Woman wants monogamy; Man delights in novelty. Love is woman's moon and sun; Man has other forms of fun. Woman lives but in her lord; Count to ten, and man is bored. With this the gist and sum of it, What earthly good can come of it?

General Review Of The *** Situation
Each day with so much ceremony begins, with birds, with bells, with whistles from a factory; such white-gold skies our eyes first open on, such brilliant walls that for a moment we wonder "Where is the music coming from, the energy? The day was meant for what ineffable creature we must have missed?" Oh promptly he appears and takes his earthly nature instantly, instantly falls victim of long intrigue, assuming memory and mortal mortal fatigue. More slowly falling into sight and showering into stippled faces, darkening, condensing all his light; in spite of all the dreaming squandered upon him with that look, suffers our uses and abuses, sinks through the drift of bodies, sinks through the drift of vlasses to evening to the beggar in the park who, weary, without lamp or book prepares stupendous studies: the fiery event of every day in endless endless assent.

a cerebral grasping of existence’s resplendence is insufficient tenuously treading bereavement’s tide i cradle life twinkling moments spent on this planet are hallowed time i walk in quiet reverence as tears flow at innocuous occurrences god’s face aglow in each instance perspective revived a bumblebee drifting gently settles evoking awe i stand pensive aforetime unaware in cathedrals we stand eyes newly uncovered awakened discover celestial dimensions people replete with infinite spirit are all that surround my senses abruptly adjusting their focus ‘tis an earthly angelic realm ©2016janetaylor

i walk in quiet reverence
Surely The day will be light Darkness will be night The wind will blow While rivers flow The sun will glow As night creatures lay low Why trouble incessantly With what happens tomorrow As long as earth remains earthly All will come and go

It Will Pass
*T'was a diamond     amidst stardust   struck of gypsy's     celestial adoration,   crashed and sizzled  'neath earthly intentions, ultimate shimmers      escalated upon        fiercely impetuous seas, each dappling     luminescent wave saturated of splendiferous galaxies,    bathed in heavens'       stellar effulgence, mesmerizing wanderlust's     magnificent indulgences*
