love, magic,
I see your starlight shining.
With each smile, you light up more.
The night skies can’t resist you,
for your face they so adore.
I see your starlight shining.
Your eyes, like stars above,
are gracing me with sparkles
of your abounding love.
I see your starlight shining,
and others see it too.
Shine, my jewel, forever,
like stars in heaven do!

10th grade, care,

Brain thinking

beauty, courage, beauty, beauty,
Over the hill,
Though still her beauty resounding
Over the hill,
As seven notes of music thrill,
The seventh beauty astounding,
Seven of ten still abounding,
Over the hill,
In 'Light of Love,
Replenish, finish and refine,
In 'Light of Love,
Fits aptly in Guzzi glove,
Poetess is one of a kind,
My patience tried by every line,
In 'Light of Love,
Dedicated to Debbie Guzzi, still a
lovely lady, tho I believe she has
admitted she is past 60. Happy sailing

inspiration,
Stars take flight, in the darkness of night!
The sun’s shadow echo’s, there is light!
Embossed in nature, bright colors abounding!
The mountains, valleys and canyons, astounding!
Moon beams illuminate, the vast deep blue!
And exploits of love and grace, trickle through!
Victory, hope, death defeated!
Life eternal!
In Christ completed!

I am drifting into memories.
Wasting away like a million photographs fading in the sun-
In ceaseless renewal,
Staining the depths of my eyes with images
In the minds shutter ever fluttering to infinity,
Stringing together this conscious stream I play in.
My stupendous world made of dust and space
Tightrope walking existence!
Chance so scarcely gracing our atoms with a single touch
In a place so lonely when counted,
Yet so abounding when felt!
So dance in the dust
Poised miles above the earth
Prance on your stilts,
And peek into the great valleys beneath her skin.
Because any moment we could vanish
Into

love, romance, love,
Starry-eyed young lady with spellbinding
Voice skillfully drew him in
Spirited in nature with love abounding
He longed to touch her silken skin
Slowly the tangled love web she did spin
Sunny disposition as bright as sunny day
Shimmering in moonlight she danced to him
Smoldering emotions she held at bay
Smart is she, sophisticated, and a lady
Superb talents, calm, and steadfast
He found that she was supportive ready
Definitely one who is an enthusiast
Sweet and charming joyful to brim
Surprising that she won him with a hymn

The toxic emotions of what once was
Truth, lies, deceit, and greed
Feed the angst and the need
Sorrow, anger, spite, and pride
Make the soul die more inside
With confusion abounding I seek solutions
To rid my mind of its pollution

~In Your Holy Name~
(A Prayer Style Poem)
Dear Lord
May your abounding peace love our house fill
And no evil anywhere causes us ill
May all grow closer to you more each day
Let's not be rash in everything we do
Let laughter and joy walk with them and me
Let love shine for us all and always be
O Lord vanish from hearts, minds all that's wrong
Let love and peace reign and live like a song
Dear Lord help us grow more in your wisdom
And please heal every day our hearts and qualms
Amen.

death, hope, life, love, pain,
Dripping dripping, the sound resounding
Like echoes abounding
Stronger stronger, louder sounding
My head is pounding
Throbbing throbbing the pain is increasing
Like a jack hammer never unceasing
Longing longing for the pains decreasing
Too much pain, I need the releasing
Like soft white clouds, floating in the wind
I feel the medication like a comforting friend
Thanks for the help, no hope I could mend
Show thy mercy let my life now transcend
I’ll patiently wait in a place without time
We’ll love for eternity in this place so sublime

Your laughter
Sparkles
Like sunshine
In glistening raindrops
On shimmering cottonwood leaves
Dancing in a gentle,
Early-morning wind
Your laughter
Warms and glows
Like a chilly winter
Evening’s camp fire
On a frozen mountain top,
Caressing mind and soul
And body like a radiant purr
Your laughter
Is brilliant diamonds,
Mosaic opals,
Scintillating stars,
Joy unleashed, unfettered,
Abounding in jubilant freedom and
Utterly opulent luxury

Burgeon within her grace
For soon your eyes shall open
To the wondrous truth abounding
For you now hold the key
In mourning we stand bewildered
How can we truly comprehend
The divinity of pure freedom
Granted to such a miasmic soul
A passing of love and strife
Upon this ever turning wheel
Molting from your human shell
Transformed to seraphic star light
You laughing spirit soaring high
Risen above the anguished sorrow
Mending the aching tortured heart
Rest in that eternal grace
Sweet Mother
Soon the moment will rise
When I embrace you
And envelop within your spirit

art,
Here is a place of mixed feelings, passions so high
Manipulating judgements, so blind, can't exactly say why
Such emotions so formidable, making you laugh even as you cry
Veiling your views, covering your perceptions, Oh what of such dye
A world of reality so fictitious, illusions so real, a land where hearts never die
Abounding wealth of passions and sentimental, a course on how you try
With achievements of yields in even seasons so dry
With its first touch making the soul engulfed in infatuations like meat in a pie
Affecting the mind, bringing such thoughts, telling the heart any possible lie
Racing beats of the heart through thousands miles

God’s abounding graciousness does prevail
reigning over covetousness and greed
allowing selfishness not to assail…
God’s abounding graciousness does prevail
while shared blessings and hope from Him avail
offering peace, joy, hope midst love indeed…
God’s abounding graciousness* does prevail
reigning over covetousness and greed.

christian, devotion, faith, god, jesus, spiritual, wisdom,
Willing to learn I am by faith's wisdom
Instilled with Christ’s instructions
Led through scriptural light
Listening to the voice of the Lord
Inclining toward His truth for illumination
Nurtured with grace-nourishment
Growing spiritually midst goodness-glow…
Taught along trials and testings’ triumph
Obedient against selfishness-obstacles.
Living while learning constantly about the Saviour’s love
Eagerly, I study toward truth-empowerment
Abounding in His certainty’s assurance
Restored and revived upon redemption’s rejuvenation
Never to depart from God’s mentoring nearness.

love, nature, romancegreen, love,
I fell in love beneath an emerald cloud,
beside the trunk that held its green in place.
Whenever we approached, it gently boughed,
and it kept cool my lover's lovely face.
It never cried, unlike its whitened kin,
nor did it change its hue when skies were gray,
though there were times it could not bear the wind,
but rest assured--it floats there still today.
It floats there still, all green above the brown,
though it was smaller when I saw it last.
My wife was fond of its abounding gown,
and oh so grateful to its wooden cast.
I thus engraved our love upon its bark,
as she had done so deeply on my heart.

cover me
the giver of peace comes and rescued me from all sin that taunts me daily
from all the demons that try to control me
from all the people who try to mold me.
Cover me with your abounding grace and tender mercies
that light this place to warn off all those evil thoughts
that want me to love my neighbors (not!)
Cover me and keep me covered
even when I don't act like I want you too
when i've seem to forgotten all you did and will do
cover me Lord and hide me from myself
the biggest enemy i have yet
cover me so that i can grow
into what you predistine so many years ago

blessing, encouraging, heaven, prayer,
Come alive in the river, let it flow,
Its waters are rising, up and high;
A faith that turns into joy and glow,
Filled with promise, hope and grace.
Tap into heaven's DNA, oh so free,
Showers of favour raining down;
Graces and place, blessings to share,
Kindness abounding, no need to weep.
Ask and receive, let heaven reign,
Heaven's all around, feel it, breathe;
Favour and love, ever so real,
Enters the soul, forevermore!

for her, i love you, imagery, longing, love, romantic, true love,
Sitting at my thinking spot
Sun is going down
Thoughts of you abounding
No one else around
Birds are singing happily
Joyously in flight
Maybe one of them is you
Who's come to say goodnight
Kiss me so that I can dream
Dreamy dreams of you
Come and land inside my heart
Until my days are through
Then spend part of eternity
A hundred zillion years
Singing for me, that would be
Music to my ears

Grace -
That in between reminders
The ones you never expect
But always embrace
Cause He makes use of the most innate things or people
Those out of the blue reminders
That no matter what happens
His grace will remain
Just like His love
Always abounding

My LORD God, I verily thank* You so much
Your love, grace, and mercy are abounding in my life...
Tenaciously, You uphold me daily with Your tenderness
Hoisting my faith toward good works’ performance
Assuring me Your approval midst adversaries’ accusations
Nourishing me with Your nurturing sufficiency-contentment
Knocking down my doubts and unbelief
Securing me with Your salvation might
Generously You bless my spirit
Innumerably and incessantly providing
Vanquishing my vanity-driven pursuits
Nestling my mind around Your wisdom
Granting me generously; You’re my shepherd, I shall not want.*
Psalm 18:49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD...

In Arms enfolding,
Nubile Legs extending

Deep searching as their
Youthful Hearts catch fire
