Haiku

Haiku

Haiku, plural haiku, is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 Mora or On, in three phrases of 5, 7, and 5 respectively.

The English version has 17 Syllables instead of On (They are similar but not the same).

~

Author’s Note: When I first learned about Haiku I was taught to compose 17 syllables and have only recently discovered the difference between a “Syllable” and an “On”

Since the Japanese language is quite different from English I have kept to my original teaching of counting syllables.

Misty Mountains

Misty mountains move, My heart to fear and tremble, In stillness of awe

.

Clouds

Watching clouds go by Building castles in the sky And mountains of white

.

Moon & Sea

The silvery moon, Kisses the radiant sea, Lighting sparks of love

.

Lilies

How the lilies grow, In stagnant waters blooming With pureness of soul

 

Hearts On Fire

Hearts On Fire

 (Marriage Is Honorable In All and The Bed Undefiled – Hebrews 13:4)

 

Hearts on fire, dancing to a song
Two hearts meld and beat as oneSkin to skin, hot to the touch
Swaying hips wanting so much
Ruthless passion, righteous lust
A whispered caress, a gleeful thrust

The feel of authority, the need to submit
Milking a moment… every drop of it!
We two, ordained; not by chance
Pleasure each other in this erotic dance
Bodies swaying in sweet ecstasy
Minds merging in pure harmony

Lost… In a dream existence,
Swept… Without resistance,
Freely… We bond and share
Perfect love casts out fear

Hearts on fire, it started with a kiss
Two hearts merging in orgasmic bliss!

Dawn of A Brand New Day

Dawn of A Brand New Day

I stand before an open womb
As a new day is being born
Beholding the dark blue chasm of sky
Streaked with virgin rays of orange

I am awed and humbled
As a witness, to the majesty
Of it’s awesome unfolding power.

Dark blue morphs into light blue
As unrelenting waves of newness
Wash over the night sky.

And then…I look directly overheadAnd stare…..

Life itself, seems divided
East… it’s daylight
West… it’s night.

And there I stood,
Motionless,

Existing…..

Between eternity and time
Good and evil…. as it were

Day and night.

And the moon sang her song to me

In a voice,
Commanding, yet gentle.

Sing, oh moon
Sing of your glory,
For your reign is drawing nigh.

Finally, I turn to embrace
the fullness of the dawning day

As golden beams of sunlight
Bounce off the bottom of clouds
Singing the glory of God…

DAYLIGHT! IT SHINES!!
Oh my God… IT SHINES!!!

Welcome…

The Dawn of a Brand New Day!

But What?!

But What?!

Author’s Note: I wrote this poem before I got saved and it summed up the cry of my heart and the burning question uppermost on my mind at the time. It represented my call to God for answers. My later Poem, “Answer to My Call” was written as a response.

.
Etching out a lonely existence
Searching for some purpose,
Some meaning, 
To all this misery.

Believing in a God
Whose existence sometimes seems
As plain as the Sun in the sky
And yet, at times, 
As ephemeral as the early morning mist.

A God who sometimes seem 
As close as one’s own skin
And at other times, as far away
As a distant star in the horizon.

Trying to plan ahead
But can’t see straight,
Because the pain clouds the mind
And blots out reason.

Looking for a lifelong commitment
From every female that is met
A romantic failure for reasons yet to be acknowledged
Adding to the burning confusion and misery
That eats away at the sanity
Slowly deteriorating the hold on reality.

There must be a reason to all this madness.
Something ordered, Something structured
Must be taking place here…..

But what??!!

Covenant Loving

Covenant Loving

My Love, my Dove, my Undefiled
Precious Jewel of The Nile
My heart, it beats for you my dear
Priceless Treasure beyond compare

Joy erupted my heart did bow
When we exchanged our Covenant Vow
It’s a match that’s blessed for sure
No doubts, no fears, I am secure

Your words like dew drops of the night
Forms a blanket that wraps me tight
Lips like lilies drenched with wine
Your covenant love is mine oh mine

Lights like diamonds in your eyes
Only your touch, my nature rise
Gazing upon your face and form
Within my heart there brews a storm

From your breasts I feel your fire
And it explodes my own desire
I search for your lips, yours find mine
We feed the need and on the love-feast dine

Beneath your Venus-Mound a flame
When I enter I forget my name
I ride the wave till it breaks the shore
Surface for air then dive once more

Passion and fury is ignited
As we ride this storm united
Body and soul celebrates love
As our union sends praise above

Giving ourselves unselfishly
Strengthens our bond of fidelity
So come my love let’s prove tonight
True covenant loving is dynamite!

Answer to My Call

Answer to My Call

Glorious light and liberty
Oh Majesty on high
Exuding grace and plenteous power
Thy love dreweth me nigh!

From murky depths and miry clay
Reconciled, I was to Thee
Wash me, cleansed me, in Thy blood
Blessed my eyes to see.

When I, before, was lost and blind
Thou lookedst from beyond
Had pity, mercy on my soul
Made me Thy precious son.

Now should I despise my calling
Nay! Tis’ cannot be!
For whatsoever Thou shouldest speak
That, for me, will ever be.

I am, because You Are, Dear God
Father! This is true!
Lead me, guide me, direct my path
Till I be one with you

I Am A New Covenant lord

What is a New Covenant lord???

“I am a Christian. I am a Disciple of Jesus Christ. I am a lord”

— Everest John Alexander.

“I have said, You are gods; and all of you are children of the most High”

— Jehovah 

As recorded in Psalm 82:6, God made the above statement to Israelites under the Old Covenant.

However, in Hebrews 8:6, He said to Christians, we have a new and better Covenant (than Israel) based upon better promises.

Therefore, as a New Covenant Believer it is entirely scriptural to call myself a lord.

So, what does it mean to be a New Covenant lord???

It means, just as Jesus is, right now, so am I in this world.

“…As he is, so are we in this world.” (1 John 4:17)

It means, day to day I get to live out my own personal Motto –

Embrace The Truth – Live Without Fear – Demonstrate Dominion.

I Embrace The Truth – The Truth is the Person, Presence and Power of Jesus Christ.

“Jesus saith unto him, I am… the truth.” (John 14:6)

I Live Without Fear – Living without fear means completely trusting in and relying on the faithfulness, wisdom and power of Almighty God to keep me whole, in every

area of my life.

I Demonstrate Dominion – Demonstrating dominion

means,  with my thoughts, words and deeds I reflect the nature and character of Christ, who is both the Lord of lords and the Servant of servants.

I serve human beings with the love of God and destroy God’s Enemies with the word of God.

{God’s Enemies are Death, Sickness, Poverty, etc. and every demonic spirit behind them}

I epitomize the One who fully embodies both the nature of the Lion and the nature of the Lamb.

This is what being a New Covenant lord is… Are you???
