Modern Love and Marriage

warm sensual glow

 nights of passionate embraces

and yet it proved

a love too hot to handle

so nearly married
a lovely parking meter

who greets with a smile
but proves insatiable

alas my true love

 is terribly conflicted

a hunger for bills

is complicating our lives
 

You Raise Me Up - Be Still

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sza4rh1YzsM

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me

When darkness comes upon you
And colours you with fear and shame
Be still and know that I'm with you
And I will say your name

The Face of Love

a profound silence
in this shrouded mystery
of luminous dark

beaten for mankind 

crowned with piercing thorns

hung broken to die

though abused and killed

His defeat is victory  

for the Love of God

 a bursting of hope  
as light shimmers through darkness 
 His majesty shines

though hurt and abused
this defeat is victory  
in the name of Love 

with His eyes resting 
revealing my heart and soul
this Face gives comfort

eyes slowly open though

lids be glued with blood and tears

bringing joy and peace

words never spoken
tell of deep, dark mystery
in this still silence

this Love penetrates
springs up a bubbling Spirit
opening Sheol's door

 victory bursts forth  

light overcomes all darkness 

 His majesty shines

a Voice beckons me
offering to show the Way
humbly, i follow
