O N L Y E V E R W I T H Y O U Only ever with you, I love to have and hold into the circle of your arms, I'll unfold; into your blue eyes' greeting shine, my gold; only ever with you, I yearn to grow old... Only ever with you I can write rhymes as such for you bring my muse from dust to dash, to hush Only ever with you my being wants to attach as first step already taken to our primrose path Only ever with you, tips dance linger to cherry lips Slow summer hands will roam vast to wonderland Whence pearl white peel smooches chocolate skin only ever with you, heartbeats climbs a boiling point Stars and moon may leave the dark skies yet, one look at the gleam of your blue eyes day and night, I see the rising sunrise. Only ever with you, I will dive to lows or heights for only ever with you, I'll plunge to infinity. Prayers plea asking blessings from Divinity to tie two hearts and two souls in sole unity. Mindless to whatever is there in humanity Only ever with you... _______________________________________________ ©O. E. Guillermo 5:32 pm, February 26, 2015
The steep waning of duskfall held by one Cuddled by a wheeze , the dim air's pale light, Nestling upon boughs of memoirs undone As scenes rise mildly with an ached delight. Although fall plunges into my own depth, Giving way to chills of winter ,prolonged So must spring blossom with a fragrant breath For roam I must through peaks of Augusts' song. And musings dip upon the faltering wings A blazed remembrance of seasons' refrains; Snuffed by love's risk, hardened from cold warning Oh time withers, breaks ...still I call your name. Hearts evade pleas, sweet moments gone astray That now I rest on a crib of old stars But such is life allowing what is the way; To gather new treasures...near or afar. Judy Konos' C'est La Vie 11/5/2014
TRUE LOVE SAILED OVER SEAS Have I met trouble when I met your ocean eyes for beneath that steady gaze, I reach the highest sky? Slothful moon turned grey, so the stars: tired and pale when I behold your white angelic grace. . . Distant and unfamiliar you may seem, I wasn't afraid to run, run and catch your gleam without a guarantee of us becoming one, still, I pursue to behold you, my woman. I am no Romeo nor you are not Juliet but allow me to prove, I love immaculate... Hundred miles and hundred days we may separate, yonder, seasons change, my heart to you, I dedicate. Overseas, each time the ship reach the shore, immediately like thunder, I trip to the door for me to send my love letter or find a phone excited I am, the opportunity, I don't postpone! Pity at that time, no internet or cellphones yet so the instant a signal peeps, it's you, I first check. My ears blush and so I am in fever love each time our exchange of thoughts began. Then again while we talk, sometimes, the signal fret, or without proper warning our chats end to wreck. Coins gone and so time on shore is done, again I want to dial My sunshine smile not turning to the river Nile... My heart on somersaults when they hand me your letter like a little boy with his favorite toy, I keep it near my chest awhile I am on reversed cardiac arrest, I confess. Winter feeling I have blown and within is a summer weather, ten months or a year in the middle of the sea with only your letters and photo I kiss, I, in jubilee! Years passed, I came home and I search your address, my intentions of wanting to marry you, I will express. Your parents, unsure of me, they probe too much. How many women I touched-- I gone to bed with for am a sailor, they thought to any girl I resort, I was stunned but I remain calm and quiet as I know myself, loyal to you and no one else. I tried to woo them and prove, my only love is you. God must have blessed us-- as their stone heart melt, a year later, my dream of being your husband came true. _____________________________________________________________ ©O. E.

I LOVE THEE I am no voluptuous beauty nor do I live a life of purity I can only say: I love wholeheartedly with all I am so truthfully I keep my heart open though it gets hurt so often I avoid to be irate as I know love changes the heart rate.. Guys tried to coo and woo, they say words as for "only you" Yet, hard to believe it is true as I see some untrue I give chances as my heart marks with tact entrances I learned from various instances looking man in romances In places where rules impede, two persons who wants to bid Not of money but of affection, in them must be determination I love thee not of what you have… Not even of who you are but to how you are to me… If I love you, don't tell me much what to do… As me, myself will show you, I am that real and true.. Yes, I am liked by many but tell you what: I don't like this honey nor am I proud of it in anyway One is enough to make me stay Stand with me through it all, I give my best not to fall My name your sweetest call echoing in every wall.. Hold me firm yet dear; allow me to move closely We'll make it anyhow, treading smoothly on flows... We are strong, aren't we? No one moving alone Together we'll face phases in tune, though there will dunes.. © OLIVE ELOISA D.

WHEN TEARS TOUCH The twelfth of November reminds me of the day when our paths first crossed then came to grow on trail. Soon... all the days like waves rolled into years as we reminisce our pasts: joys and tears for fears. A pad with pen I hold to write what pops by; Each tint and curve a bell that says, you and I. The words are mere push and pull medley of thoughts shaping a circle melody of heart shots. Learning flower our way as our cultures shared; gem writings topically crafted are compared. Feelings flood colours to our world, closer we became-- Creeping longing is "our meeting" as this both our aim Beep and peek are lace ladders to higher trust grounds, every tap and trade a thread fortifying our bond. The lasso tying our heartstrings to etch some rhymes, vital signs checked normal but awhile raise second hands Can it be that this a fruit of stardust's grand wand? Or a rose waiting to bloom and behold upon bosoms? Now the day has arrived, suitcases packed, I smile a journey, I have dreamt about, many many miles. Nervousness cocoons but it's normal to feel this; for this my long wish as I enter the coming hours. Distance and differences our silent enemies! But... It did not stop us from thinking sound strategies. Interest and love gleams as our loyal company enabling us to draw verses of harmony. Broken bridges we cross by grace of felicity~ yearning to meet eye-to-eye an intensity! Along the wires we jibe to friendly deal that as crisp December sings we will make it real. The cool December made our wanting a tip-top exhilarate.. and from somewhere, a song plays: "When you feel in your skin in your bones and the hollow Of your heart, there's no way you can wait till tomorrow. When there isn't any doubt about it once you come this close Cos you know and you know that you know...." _____________________________________________________________ *** the last stanza are lines taken from the song: "WHEN YOU KNOW" by Shawn Colvin from the movie Serendipity. ©J.A. Fraser and O.E. Guillermo October 29, 2014; 10:05 pm
Thank you for being rock solid for me Allowing me to simply be Give me space to come crashing down To sing out of key to smile or frown Thank you for being willing to stay Each time I tried to run away Hold me, kiss me till it passes When I stare through gloomy glasses Love me cos I'm yours to keep Hold me while I fall asleep Let me go so I can move Marvel when I'm in the groove When my brain and heart short circuit Read the manual on how to work it When I'm rushing slow me calmly Be my strength when I go barmy Understand my every act No matter how the odds are stacked And when I want to run and hide Open your heart I'll climb inside When I am loving sweet and tender Welcome me, reflect, surrender Give your life right by my side And love each second of the ride
B-R-E-A-T-H - OF - L-O-V-E Summer sun or winter freeze pulls heartstrings in trapeze. . . Cotton soft to gnarled callus vows have thread along my way embroidering ribbon actions to pliant swings of reactions like a darting fish thrilled to catch a passer-by knees. Two pairs of eye sew webs to bridge affection display, pines teeming green crown my arrested heart-- tachycardic I am... each time I hear your sound. Has breath of love tickled my nerves to interaction? Like a bee I'm drawn to your sweet ambiance 'round hoping by miracle it will birth me a fresh start. Scents that streams from bulbs swirl on wafting wind-- Ah! They all fell to shame for your breath of love tames. Once a rebel soul that long been thriving for satisfaction with breath of love that resuscitates, I mend my flame channeling muse to stroke the peak density of mind. Slender February breeze taunt my fingers to type rhymes that shy edge of reason. Eternally plunge in surrender I-- filled with breath of love ships my horizons to script stories in shades that lingers. . . ______________________________________________ © 12:31 pm, February 07, 2015
He don't, he won't, he can't, he will, he might... he don't. We are all on our way to somewhere an individual path, an individual journey, a destination. It's okay that he don't I have learned from him those good attributes that i desire in a mate also the ones I refuse to entertain I don't believe in fate. But I do believe in perfection no accidents abound everything happens for a reason. You are on your path, traveling at your own speed your journey has brought you to this moment because that is where you needed to be. For your own growth, for your own realization, to discover who and what you really are. and that's okay with me. To cast judgment only fertilizes weeds (more work for you to do) cultivate your own garden, do it with love, compassion and pardon. Do it happily. As I struggle to remove my own blinders fit the pieces of my puzzle together because I know ... with certainty they have brought me to this moment. And I am on my way to Somewhere Destination unknown. No, in a multidimensional reality how could eternity ever be boring? and like the butterfly struggling to free herself from the confines of that which she built herself, I struggle to learn. But I am on my way to Somewhere with a universal guarantee of arrival being then beautiful and free all that I already am all that lies dormant within me. Like you... I am on my way to Somewhere...

Community, what does it mean And how does it come into being Well what does the dictionary have to say "A group of people living together in one place" I guess that means were all in community Though if I were to speak in honesty It feels like we try to live separately Living by the culture of our country Which tells us, do it yourself If your strong, you don't ask for help Life is about personal advancement About money and accomplishments Hold onto your hardships and pain Keep striving for personal gain So many lies deeply engrained How will we create change? Well I start with myself I ask for help I start with me I be the change I want to see I become an infectious contagion In all of my relations That could spread across a population Even across the nations I model my life after the master of love Who dwells in the heavens above He has brought millions even billions together Over decades, centuries, even millenniums So what else could be better Than to faithfully follow him He who said, I was anointed to proclaim good news to the poor to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free" and I say yeah that's who I want to be But unless I engage in community Unless I get to know my fellow human beings How can I help to set them free So its time for me to put aside Popular culture, foolish pride Social codes, selfish ambitions Old roads, and useless traditions And blaze a brand new trail With my life, write a new tale Introduce a new theme Add in a few more characters And then dare to dream About how my story could impact theirs And their's impact mine Because maybe just, maybe It might be better, might just be Not to say, I did it on my own All this, look I did it alone No maybe it would be better If we did it together So that no matter what my lot I can always know that I've got Friends, right until the very end Help, ready to be sent Hands willing to be lent So what need would I have for advancement For money and accomplishment I can find all that I need Everything I seek from this life, In relationship with fellow human beings Community, Maybe this is what it means
I am the hypocritical Christian. I say I follow Christ, But I'm still consumed by my demons. I go to church on Sunday, But I refuse to invite someone back. I want to serve on mission, But I'm too afraid to act. They think I read The Bible, But I just fall asleep in it. They think I'm positivity and smiles, But underneath I'm death and addictions. They think I'm clean and pure, But I'm broken and mistaken. I say I'm not worthy of His love, But Jesus will never let me be forsaken. I pray long prayers, But inside they're empty repetition. It might look as if my faith is strong, But my core is too easily shaken. I say the things I'm supposed to say, But don't follow His actions or obey. I speak the truth the church wants to hear, But deep inside on matters I don't know what to believe. I walk in shame as if I'm not good enough To be loved by God and saved through Christ, But there is nothing I could ever do to earn His peace; It's a free gift. I accept; Now forgiven, changed, and released. Thank You God, Thank You Jesus, Thank You Holy Spirit! In Jesus' Holy Name, We pray, Amen!
"I Do Believe" The purpose of LIFE is to {Living In Faith Ever} to enrich God within us to an optimum level so that We as Humans can be guided by God to fuel out brothers and sisters with the same driving force to connect with the living God, to His existence and to See the Invisible, Believe the Incredible, and to Receive the Impossible to our everlasting journey to Heaven.

I watch your riveting sonatas Layer decadent truffles Upon his pupils Leaking wanton tears Grasping for serenity To have epilogue's slow dance You latch onto love's empty façade. No return flights to your destination. Where are YOUR wings, angel? An embedded hunger for him To treat you like a priceless prayer But, his knees are too decrepit to kneel in your temple. Yet, you stay… …stay Your freedom becomes latched Onto tortured leeches Sucking You Dry It's the closest you ever Come To his flesh You stare out towards melancholic branches Cracking in unison outside your bedroom window Under Gemini moon A gripping slide of your fingertips Against convex glass Craving for encore Of that night emptiness filled your lungs with lustful whisper But, now, Pandora's Box is your only translator Held by the skeletons in his closet With your name written against necklace's recycled parchment As the one they blame For being a silver medal When will it be your time to shine? ©Drake J. Eszes
Can a relationship last without trust, How long will a relationship last without genuine love, What do you see when you look into your partners' eyes, How do you feel when they are in your arms, Are you comfortable with your sprouse, Do you still see the sparks when you kiss, Feel the energy when you curl up beside each other, Do you still play and laugh with each other, Or is abuse slowly creeping in, Do you still make plans talk about future events, Don't let your relationship become a daily drag, Trust,genuine love,comfort,communication and care, The spieces of a great relationship, Season your relationship well, And enjoy a life filled with love and more love...
I've Scribbled This Song For You... I'm wasting my days, my empty nights too, I should have held on, but I simply lost you, now I stagger along, wearing broken smiles, in between hell and you, there's a million miles, yes, I should have kept, you close to my skin, soaking your warmth, but you were laughing, at my foolish grin... now I'm all broken, and torn apart, but what the hell, I was always late, for the tolling of the bell, and now... now I stagger along, wearing broken smiles, in between hell and you, there's a million miles, so kiss me now like you once did, I'm tired of being so carefully hid, la laa laa la laa laa laa... (repeat to fade) :-)
I just want my summertime To be at a stand still. Sometimes, when women cross my mind, I'm not sure just what to feel. I'd like to call her friend, And I want us to mean something. I can find several, yet in the end, It seems like all I have is nothing. So where is the evidence That says I should move forward? Show me a sign that's heaven sent; A point I should move toward. ©2013 Honestly JT
Love in the air can you smell it Always so loud can you hear it Out on the Prowl Can you see it Always wanting more Do you need it
Obsessed with the thought of you wondering if it's only me or if you sometimes remember the sweet things you've said and if you meant them how I took them or if I'm just obsessed with what's in your head Obsessed with your very sentences Every response I take personal I know it's selfishness Have you not noticed my eyes? They hold secrets that only you can unlock if you'd just take time to fill the thick juices of my pride It's just boiling with lust, passion, trust and distrust and other things I obsess over so much I find myself writing to free myself from this prison I've created where only you and I reside I become confused about what I'm really feeling inside and I try to rid the thoughts that are highly debated as false and I begin to cry and think of casting love spells so that the universe can deliver this affair I know it's unfair but I don't care I'm obsessed with what hasn't happened between us I'm obsessed with your heart and that the fact that I don't think you've even noticed my selfish innuendos and secret undertones that blatantly express my lust Or maybe you have and you calmly remain in resistance of distrust If you could only read my mind by simply touching my fingertips, I'm sure I'd catch you out the corner of my eye biting your bottom lip I'm obsessed with the passion and thoughts I think you have Obsessing over an experience that I may never have....
Enter a storybook tale Where I can be The heroine you hail Lucid dreams of soft reflection A touch heated with lust and desired protection A breathe a gasp as we succeed Join the fairytale with me Valiant night within dark eyes the right movement and I make them shine like moonlight on the steamy hot spring care to follow for a little dip with me Trailing like the water at my fingertips Grasp me around my hips As close as the breeze on my skin Whisper lies as I let you in Lips mumbling up my thighs bare heart exposed to the sky fire burning in my veins Am I a mistress of this lust or simply a slave Trembling with desire Take me till we've lost count of the hours enter this storybook tale Where I can be the heroine you hail
Wrestling Verses Spilling ink onto paper, reading tea-leaves, fragments of mirth, shards of anguish, remain, trapped in rolled-up sleeves. Turning up my collar, as blue as these days that slip by, scattered verses plunge into, the fathoms of unknown waters. My ink runs, slips, treading lightly, penning odes to love on bare skin, your skin, your bare back my canvas, my fingers tracing, caressing, scribbling, homages to our laughter, our tears. Wrestling verses, lie spent, exhausted, famished and parched from saying too much, still, my fingers tickle your soft skin, my ink would run dry, were it not for your gentle touch
Lord., I've Been Hurting! This one thing I am most certain… Lately I've been really hurtin'. I trying to do right, but it turns out "wrong." Where, in life, do I really belong? So many people pass me by. Sometimes, someone may say; "hi!" I don't know if this message is getting across? I feel so confused and completely lost. A message of "help" has my prayer and plea… For God to reach out to me! He reached down and made me whole! HIS love and compassion filled my soul! Spending time with Jesus is time well spent! It was for you and me that Jesus was sent! By Jim Pemberton
Look at me And I'll return your gaze But know not what you see Talk to me And I will answer But know not what you think Listen to me And I'll tell you of me But know not what you hear But touch me And I will know you And understand that you Saw me Heard me Care
A man's chilled hands In the depths of darkness... Candle is shining She approaches him, warming him up inside by holding him close to her. She tells him, "My love for you is stronger than the winter; no frigid air will hold you down and make you weak." He smiled at her and simply replied, "I know our love is stronger than the freezing days of winter, we can exist in a higher plane and still be warm throughout. We just need to be in close proximity to physically be warm together." With this she held his hands and he warmed up to be at her level of fire burning inside her. She warmed his hands Sure melted all the ice off... Candle illumines Russell Sivey Entrant into Debbie Guzzi's "Mix It Up" contest 1/13/2013
Distantly wandering ~ a meadow-vast lake Refusing to let the consumption of my heart break Icy cold tears frost over my face & cheeks Being lost for weeks and for weeks Broken down ambition ~ too weak to fight Suddenly she appears like an angel in my life Opening the reality of a bond between girls Determined to create a relationship that unfurls Aimlessly waiting for years for her soul And craving the right girl to rock-n-roll Possessing her thoughts, body, and mind I think I found you, baby, this time Exhausted from search and it be nothing but fight Finally found a woman as a possible wife Golden and glowing ~ she inhabits my body With limitless ways to make her happy and naughty Be responsible to care for her ~ now that she's mine It's been an unpleasant search ~ now it is time To live by my side in a big world of us Off the bat we've succeeded our series of trust To hold her naked some days through the night In my head bursting bright sparks of light Kissing her lips and holding her waist Feeling her warmth ~ memorizing her taste Protection from the unworthy who will try and take my place So many memories to create ~ not a second to waste
You have given me a dose Of caring that pulls me close Enough to fall right into Your arms that are pure and true Holding me with no release As I'm begging pretty please Never loosen this strong grip Leaning in to kiss your lips I say thank you--there's no way I would last another day Of a life so sad and lonely That was making my heart only Know the ways to break and shatter Not hearing the words that flatter And make someone blush with pride Filling up with love inside You are part of me forever Pulling on some kind of lever That spun my world all around From the moment that I found You sitting with a shy look That grabbed me like a big hook Changing me into someone I am so glad to become
How dare you take advantage of me like that , Leaving me stranded with no way to go forward or back. Using the friendship that we had led me to believe, That there was trust and honor between you and me . How you layed me aside and left me for dead , You have caused these hateful thoughts inside my head. Never could I have done this to any man , I can see you have no concious so I know you can. There just one thing I really want to say about this , It's been a long time since I have made a clinched fist . You have no idea how much hurt you have caused, It won't be me you'll have to face That's up to God But you will regret mistaking this kindness for weakness girl, Bad Karma will surely consume you this is my word. Yes you were able to catch me completely off gaurd , Never again because now I know who you are . TAC
A Mother's Love… How precious is the love of a mother's heart! Even as a child… It's there from the start. A mother's love knows no boundary or limit. It's often shown by how much the mother gives it! Whether her children are young or growing old… And whatever circumstances in life may unfold… Her love is continually a solid foundation… That can't be removed, torn or shaken. Her love is what is a "guiding force…" Even if her children's lives stray "off course." I'm thankful for the love my mother's given… It's surely influenced the way I've been livin'! To all of our mothers across our great nation… May we show them our love and appreciation! Their love has stood and endured the test of time… I'm so glad that one of them is MINE! By Jim Pemberton
Fake Words – Zamreen Zarook God have given us mouth, Not to speak to north and south, Tongue is given under an oath, So it's our duty to protect them both. Girls chat fake with boys, Having a notion that the boys are toys, They often make varied noise, Thinking to keep a trap on handsome guys. Boys are also human being, So it's not possible being clean, Things varies in the way they are seen, So positive thinking will make you keen. Boys' minds are pure, As it is pure bio, So don't try to pour vino, Which will take decades to get cure.
Thank you – Zamreen Zarook Thank you is a sweet word in the nature, You may be a guy of adventure, May be you are a person of agriculture, What matters is your architecture. Never forget the people, who guided you, In no degree neglect who were with you, Don't ever overlook a creature, who gave a smile to you, Because, you will meet them above you. People forget the past due to selfishness, They have no time to remember their unawareness, Society, most of the times behave in awfulness, They will understand when their lives come in to bitterness. Be a person to thank and remember, Don't consider them as December, Because, you might need them in November, So, always be as a good subscriber.
Over fifty years have passed, Tho' it seems like just the other day; My father gave me golf clubs, "It's a game you need to learn to play." He said, "It's very difficult, but so is life. There's more to learn than grip and swing and rules, Like honesty and dealing with adversity; Then, pointing to his head, "… and how to use ALL your tools. Play the Course… and Mother Nature… Focus on just one shot at a time; Try to learn from each of your mistakes; Then, do your best to leave them behind. These clubs will teach you more Than our 'man to man' talks. This you'll learn for yourself, So you can "walk the walk." "Practice makes better, but not perfect. And always remember what they say: '"Golf is not a game that we can win. It's just a game we play.'" His lessons served me very well, Took them to heart and played the game. And life is much like a round of golf. Despite the bad shots, I'm always glad I came.
This poem I wrote. I call it " Let Him Go " Sweetheart don't cry Don't let him make you feel like your nothing You do have family even though we are not close by I know your heart is crushing Don't harp on the past Don't let him play with your head You need to get over him fast His feelings for you are dead Over 2 years and you still don't have a ring Your not the one he calls his wifey to be no more Take a seat and listen up girl here is the thing He's playing with your feelings and using you like a two dollar whore I know you were smart once and can be again He has you so brain washed it's not funny I know hearing all this is a strain Think of the example your setting for you little ones honey Hold your head high and walk away from that loser mama's boy Show him that your the one that is too good for his sorry ass Hell he's such a mama's boy you can find better pleasure in a toy Your related to me so come on show your sass Let go of the past and look to a new future Let go of the pain and the control freak Say bye bye Looser It will get easier one step at a time week by week......
Kids go down The slide…they head toward the swings TIME TO SCREAM! Free time ends Their parents want to go home Frowns exchange
Loyalty One self Virtuous Eternity
Dear God, when the sun rises, I can only wish for a better day. I'm not looking for consolation prizes; I know life can't go entirely my way. I just want to love and be loved, To have hope and a great faith. Sometimes the choices in life are tough, After sunrise creates a new day. ©2013 Honestly JT
May the Love of Jesus Touch You! May the love of Jesus bless and touch you! May his presence be with and uplift you! May the joys of the love make you complete! And touch you, from your head to your feet! May the glory of the lord be with and keep you! His majestic power can really touch you! May the words that he's spoken, touch your spirit! His mercy and salvation… He freely give it! May the sweetness of Jesus, into your life bring! His righteousness and beauty! Your everything! May you take some time with Jesus in prayer? How much he loves you! How much he cares! By Jim Pemberton 07.28.13
Walk before you speak. Lend your voice that seek. Foot forward and back. So will that be a fact. Gone by and be well. Trip up and put into a cell. Got no one to talk to. I want a phone call to sue. When I wake from my slumber. I wish not to be hit by lumber. Going to become a dreamer. I hope that I do not become a screamer. I got new shoes. With colorful strings that are loose. I am slow on tying them. I feel they are harder than stem. String are not new. They smell pew. I walk once again to journey. That means I need some money. Trip up again with meaningless acts. Walking with out trust that lacks. Shamefulness I speak. I go behind a tree to leak. I have no home set in stone. Wheeling and dealing always alone. Since I was a child that was left on the street. I became a street beat. Strolling with confidence to day. Making my way. Some law men stop me. I was so out of it that they can see. They thought I was on drugs. I was really itching bugs. Stumbling because I have not eaten. So they grab me and I got beaten. They finally found me innocent. So I told them to get bent. I was a good citizen with high hopes. The society today thinks I am on dopes. Can I be help with no pain. Will they put me some were I will gain. So I was put into a helpful place. I was then able to eat and say grace. Some crazy person came in and started shooting. So people ran and started looting. Cannot get away from bad luck. Sure enough I feel so stuck. Knowing that I was fleeing. I became worth not seeing. I lay there my time just feeling has pass. Losing my mind and running out of gas. Finally I hear a person the sound sounds so weak. A life time that I wanted to seek. Found myself in a bed. Down to nothing I was shed. A person with white clothes that said your in luck. You survived and now you owe some buck. So sad not really glad. Bad thing was the kid that was shooting was my lad. Time really passes I just want to walk. To see my kid to talk. Why did he do what he did. Dad he said I was starving and I am a kid. So I have turn to a life time of crime. Dad do not give me your time. Because when we talked long ago. You just left home with all the doe. Hope you have a good life. Because mom had been a good wife. Now it is your turn. So you can walk into the fire and burn. With out a doubt you will walk away. Trip on and Trip up and you will never pay. Now dad keep your love. Because I seek my mother above. You will be chain. Down you go insane.
A new photograph floats to the surface Playfully dressing up as the world around me Hat, striped socks and all Tiptoeing at the top for one last sweet moment Before sinking back into my ocean mind. One after another they arrive Single file, Steeping my eyes in the world As the minds shutter, ever fluttering Strings together this conscious stream I play in. My photographs fade in time's wrinkled arms. Joining their brothers and sisters at the ocean floor, They hold hands and try to answer the question that is always asking itself: Who am I?

Let the Deicide commence. You're a voyeur at best! Your vampiric heart is beating out of your chest! And you have slayed the ones whom would love you for anything less Ready to consume the final fragments of innocence, And for you there is no forgiveness, On your knees pleading, screaming to a tyrant in the skies; The father of lies. I will never be enslaved in your superiority The people agree: jaded of your false dichotomies. Know: I will be whomever nature intends to be Apollo and I will share our dreams, and you will be forced to see your failure! I know who you are... Readily the first to present your scars Chained by some despot or mental czar An emotional homunculus in your mind, behind bars Reluctant to escape - even when proven fake Your demented mind - depths no one will penetrate! ...And you see me suffering Not caring of any casualties Just as long you recieve your safeguard of sympathy So very wary of the masses and their Anarchy; Liberious ways Solipsist - Is there no one you can see? Even if she was presented burning? Solipsist - Is there no one you can believe? Even if Sophia was screaming? Solipsist - Know you have killed and abused me Imprisoned in your own personal reality
You know why I run game? It's 'cause I'm a player I'm the night in shining armor, she's a dragon, I'm gon' slay her That means when I beat it up, I'm gonna kill it Tell her keep our business to herself, don't spill it Can't follow directions, then it's on to the next Hope you get the message, not talking 'bout a text I sleep with more chicks than a night-gown Without 'em I'm like a sentence with no noun For those who don't know that means incomplete It's a race to get 'em first, I gotta' compete They wanna be on the team, tryin' to make the cut True player, show no feelings, keep 'em in a shell, walnut Females fill my atmosphere, they mean the world to me I got damsels galore, it's always plural with me Got gangs of chicks, which one should I bang They're steady in my face, sort of like some bangs Hate when they try to lock me down, I'm not in jail She starts talking 'bout marriage, then I'm gonna bail Sometimes I need my space, like a vacant lot I hate being congested, like a nose filled with snot Hey, stop bugging me, you startin' to act like a knat Before you go, give me head, I need it like a hat
P aranoia permeates, etching itself into your fractured face, A cacophony of constant pressure; life remains a stressful race, N othing to hope for, no positives like promotion in the workplace, I nability to love, relationships lift anchor and set sail without chase, C hildren crushing dreams under mortgages; age grows with disgrace !!
The Beach of Promises 1. Fingers entwined, barely touching, turquoise waters teasing your dancing toes, strolling along that serene deserted beach, our promised dreams within aching reach. 2. Hands clasped, holding on, sea-breezes tickling the nape of your neck, walking together, alone, vowing to never breach, the dreams dreamed on that faraway velvet beach. 3. Hands in my pockets, alone, traces of you linger, teasing, lost in my scribbles, your memory fading out of reach, my thoughts ablaze, now and then, catching a whiff of your fragrance, wafting through alleyways of nostalgia, your hand in mine on our pristine beach.

I was just trying to remember the past trying to remember the good people and the bad people, that i came across on my way, i want you to know that you are among the good people that left a good trace in my life, once again i just want to say thank you for passing through my life, is so short but is wonderful i want you here forever.
Every moment I can't see your face; These are the days and nights when I miss you. I ask that you stay for always, On sunny days and when it rains too. If I speak to another pretty dame, She's not the flame inside that grows. In my heart you will remain; This one thing I'd like you to know. ©2013 Honestly JT For Skat -Love's "Under 10" Poetry Contest
Standing out in a field alone, a little white flower named Daisy longed for someone to share her world. One day a blue flower named Bachelor Button entered her world they became friends. She knew by his name that he was not the propagating kind, but that didn't stop their relationship she called him BB short for best bud. The seasons of Spring & Summer they enjoyed the sun, laughed in the rain and held on fast in the Fall. Winter came it was long and hard they were both covered in a blanket of snow, not knowing whether they would ever see each other again or even survive .The snow fell then came the ice, this went on for months. The Sun shone brightly the first day of spring. A few days later warmth of the sun melted the snow, Daisy popped up . I've been waiting days for you to come out, said BB, they both chanted hooray! The snow was completely gone in a few days, the birds started building their nests , bugs were crawling around ,butterflies began to visit the two flowers. I wish there were more of us Daisy said, to BB. They laughed as the sun and wind blew through their leaves. Then it started the sun and rain took turns until one morning the air & field was filled with the smell of flowers. Daisy and BB looked at each other and asked what kind of flowers are these ? they're not white like daisies they're not blue like bachelor buttons. They did not know the birds and bugs carried the seeds from the two of them and the caterpillars buried them under the soil. The seeds from the new flowers were then carried by the winds many miles away, they landed in fertilized gardens and flourished, although they faced danger everyday. as they were called WEEDS .. The Gardener pulls weeds out of the garden so they don't choke the flowers, which cost a lot of money and require lots of maintenance. However there was a Gardener who saw her friends spending hours weeding their garden , that they didn't have enough time to admire and enjoy the labors of their love So she set out to give a home to all the weeds ,she provided a place where they could fit in and multiply, they required no maintenance, rain provides their water . The best part of all is their beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Ask my granddaughter-- What are those flowers in the garden ? She will answer "WILDFLOWERS " their parents were Daisy and BB
My mother, my grandmother before has always held a place in my heart. My father, and my grandfather before has the same part. I was young and very active with unwillingness to listen fully to what they had to say. I had a problem, never could be solved without my parents and grandparents till today. With patience they all come to my aid when I fall on my face. With little dishonor I listen to them and what they had to say, I embrace. Over the years I go to them with no doubt a feeling of no dismay. Over the years I go to them and they help me solve problems that to me is O.K. Now I am getting a bit more aware of what had happen to me when I was growing. Now I remember how the ride was in my beginning: it was a trial of not knowing. With the guided words of my parents and grandparents I survive through them all. With it some being a problem that I remember I recall. My mother and my grandmother always said to be patient and it will be easy to solve. My father and my grandfather always knew that I would grow and evolve. I could wonder everyday what if my parents and grandparents was not in my life. I could just think that would be fatal like a stab with a knife. With knowledge that they had past on to me of what they had experience. With their proof of teachings they had past on to me is their self existence. Over the years I grew with life so full of happiness that was because of my families love. Over the years it showed me the path that led me to all the above. Now cherish those words that help me through my troubles in my new family. Now I listen to my parents healing words of wisdom and except them gladly.
Such an Amazing girl god put into my life. He knew i needed you at that exact time Funny when we met I thought you were to good for me But when you approached me the sweetest girl I did meet. From that day on we have never truly been apart cause I carry you around everywhere in my heart. You have been the rock when I needed a friend around, you have been the light when the darkness consumed me and took away my sunshine Even when were miles apart the phone connects us and keeps our strongest bond. 17 years feels like such a short time but I feel I have always had you in my life. Soul Sisters we were meant to be.. You my beloved friend are such a fresh breeze Even after a year apart it was like yesterday that we did part so through the many miles and through the long hard road I know this friendship will always survive. Your a burst of joy to me each day I thank the Lord for the sweet blessing he gave! BY:Christina McCullouch 7/28/2012
Beloved, lovely roses: gift of God and lover's flower, Spread your colored petals and cradle tender showers. While admiring the blossoms with their beauty to behold, Ought we not to know the Tender of such lovely garden groves? For He lovingly and thoughtfully wields His pruning shears To cut away the stems of old for fuller future years. He cultivates and feeds them. He attends them as a Father Looking daily to their needs; so faithfully He waters. From the dawn of morning dew until the setting sun arrays Caring always for His own until that great appointed day… When the Gardener comes to claim each one the earth held as its own. He gently picks it at its peak and for His pleasure takes it home. As God did one glorious morning, when the Perfect Rose had bloomed. He rolled away the stone and met with Mary at the tomb. There the sweetest Rose of Sharon rose that we die not alone. But be gathered for a garden grove, surrounding heavens throne.
There's many people who claim they've nothing to "hide!" They tend to use the rainbow as a source of their "pride." But if you read in the book of Genesis, it is revealing. God's purpose of the rainbow had a different meaning! The rainbow was there when much of mankind disappeared! There was a promise of God that was so very clear. He promised to never again destroy man with a flood. This was his promise... An extension of his love! It was never intended as his approval for perversion! Mankind still needs a Jesus filled holy conversion! The colors of the rainbow can't wash away sin's dark stain! This can only happen by the power of Jesus' name! The colors are beautiful… But man's heart is filled with deceit! Without the soul cleansing power of Jesus… We're never complete! No court decision can give the freedom that many desire! Only the power of the cross can change you this very hour! The only way to find equality with God, is through the cross! Without his words of truth… We are forever LOST! Look past the colors of the rainbow! Seek the power of the blood! Then you too, can be changed from God's power from above! By Jim Pemberton
It's hard doing something different. It's difficult staying yourself. In a world so accustomed to conformity, It feels nearly impossible to be unique As the one He created you to be. How do we find the strength? How do we find the courage? How do we find the bravery? Where do we defeat fear? Well, He's hanging on The Cross Giving life to you and me. Thank You Jesus! Let us not forget With Christ, Nothing is impossible, For with God, All things are possible! Thank You Father! Thank You! We give our lives to You! We are Yours! Praise You forever And forevermore! In Jesus' Name, We pray, Amen!
Once there was a girl with a tough personality. She was considered to be a friendly and talkative. She was extremely tough regardless of love and crashes. She had wishes and dreams but was never sure when it's gone come true. She was hard working always to satisfy her family and be a great daughter. She was tough about love but at the same time she knew a special and incomparable person will come to her life, who will be very different than others. When and where she will meet him, she never thought about it because she believed that we shouldn't look for love, the reason was that love comes itself. However let's see how and where she finds that special person. One night after working so hard of her project she was bored. "Oh God I am so bored let's see if my friends are online I will talk to them but at the same time gone download a song" she got online but unfortunately non of her friends were online so she thought to herself why don't I make a new friend she requested a random boy who she never knew before. After a week passed and that boy accepted her request but they never got the chance to talk to each other. "Oh this boy looks so cute but why can't I talk to him" although she wasn't trusting any boys but her heart would tell her that this boy seems to be a good boy. So she used to leave an offline massages for him in order to contact each other and be friends. One day they both were online so their conversation started. Boy…Hi Girl…Hi Boy… how are u and how did u added me Girl… I'm fine thanks well I was bored last week so I randomly added u. They started questioning each other and she asked him have you got a brother or a sister he answered I have 5 sister but no bro. She reply but I have 2 sis and no brother. The time of Salah came and she had to pray and she asked if she can leave the conversation and pray but he was surprised that she prays. After she did her prayers she asked him why were you surprised when I said its time for me to pray? He reply afghans who live in foreigner most of them are not religious. Weeks passed and one day she was so excited. Girl… You know what Boy…what Girl… I have a new baby sister Boy… congratulations They kept contacting each other even though he had exams on that time but he would still take out some time for her. At the same time he would study for exams. Few month later they became best friends and one day he told her that he like her but she didn't understand what does he mean by like. She called her best friend and told her he told her that he likes her but she doesn't know why he said this because he loves her or just a simple like. Hey dude … he told me he likes me but I don't know what he means by that. My Friend… ha ha stupid liking is the first step of love I think he loves u. She also liked him but she needed time to know him more. He was so innocent and respectful boy she had ever meet. They became so closer and their friendship turned to love after a passing of time. She didn't know much about his family and background but however she loved him and thought he is a right person for her life partner. For every relationship to became stronger and trust worthy it needs time. Relationships are like building a house. Some relationship ends fast because it was build quick and the foundation was not strong enough but some relationships last forever the reason is that the foundation which that relationship was build was strong. The foundation of every relationship is trust, promises, honesty, truthfulness, modesty, respect and most important thing is a true love. Be the kind of person you would like to be with. Some people come into our lives, make footprints on our hearts and we are never the same. People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges. She always wanted someone who is respectful and modest towards girls. Someone who is honest but she never saw any boy with those qualities in him, she only saw those qualities in him. Even though she faced so much hardships, impenetrability and tests in life however she knew that when Allah tests you, it is never to destroy you, it's to teach us something in life that we do not know. When he removes something in your possession it is only to empty your hands, for an even greater gift. She learned so much from those test and tried hard to become better Muslim. Now they know each other and they love each other a lot. She has a full trust on him more than herself. Even though they sometimes have argument for some Issues but their love is strong enough and they are a smart people to find the solutions. No matter what we face and how we act towards it but it shouldn't affect a person's trust and love in relationship because it's so hard to make one and takes a second to destroy it. This was a good story. It's sad that it takes a long time for people to understand values and life. We as people are so consumed with our own lifestyles and duties we have made for ourselves. I miss him more then he could ever know, I often ask Allah why did he have to go? I fell in love and he means so much to me, if he could look into my heart then he could see. I found something so special and it is for real, being without my love is so hard to deal. I'll be here waiting until I can be with you again, because not only are you the love of my life you are also my friend. I just want to tell you, I think of you every moment of the day. And how much I love you, Words could never even say.... I just want to tell you, I love you with all my heart. I wish for us to be together, Never shall we be apart.
My love I can not find you anywhere, I feel like I lost my soul somewhere, because you are my soulmate, and us being apart can not be fate. You did not leave because you wanted to, It just was just something you had to do. I was not right, All I wanted to do was fight, and knowing you was the love of my life, yet I would not make you my wife. I know that's what you really wanted and now I am feeling haunted, by the things I should have done, and you being the only one I ever loved and will love forever, if it was'nt for me we will still be together. But you are gone and I can not go on, so I must say good-bye, I'm leaving myself to die.
Picking up the shards of shattered you Each jagged reflection staring back too Anger turned from brokenness of heart Mirrors only amplified the tears dart As memories of togetherness flow A man in the presence of letting go She sobs in a patch work of memories Stitching the old love letters the hurt flees The smell of his shirts comforter of times Each block sown with care as love's healing binds In mosaic's or quilt's this will transcend Even after a death love has no end
mistake unforgiven relationship falters bond of love overcome by doubt break up
logic and emotion coexist but conflict heart and mind struggle to decide who wins
God Gives Us Brothers and Sisters For A Reason! God gives us brothers and sisters for a reason! As children, we have each other, throughout the seasons! We laugh and play together and do all sorts of things… Often not realizing what the future of life brings! As kids, we often share whatever life may give us! And stick together, no matter what trials may face us! But, as we grow older, too often, we part separate ways. And lose any contact with each other for countless days! I've seen all kinds of things tear families all apart. Often, there's some kind of unforgiveness of the heart! If you, and your siblings, have reached a separation… May you seek Jesus for a Godly reconciliation! As family, whatever divides, must be lifted up in prayer! Where two or three are gathered… God is there! Just think about what the family unit has become! The love of Jesus must be what binds us all as one! Getting along as a family, is more than just a "feeling!" The blood of Christ needs to bring an "inner healing!" The family that each of us have, may not be here tomorrow! Are you one who's holding on to bitterness and sorrow? May the words of Christ help us all to get along! That through HIM, our families will be STRONG! By Jim Pemberton 10/20/13
In His Arms, He holds me tight And whispers sweetness in my ear. It's everything I've been longing to hear: "Everything will be alright."
Watch this scene with both eyes and try not to blink C: --> I stood there... silently Like a predator near prey I sneak behind YOU You weren't even aware of it!! Ha-ha! I made YOU jump hIgH Like a startled hare I chuckle and smile You know that mischievous smile of mine? Your reaction was PRICELESS - you were so upset But YOU forgave me Well...I'm flattered. . . We laugh'd together (just like the good times) In a chorus - our volume Picked up extreme sound Believe me - I could hear our laughter from a mile away! But I'm glad I did My best to make you giggle Ridiculous me... Wouldn't you agree?
You've maddened me to the core You singed me with your ferocious fire We're opposites… we'll never integrate We can't blend with each other… Your love and I'm hate We're contrary to each other… So don't even think about Getting us back together Because without a doubt, We don't click with each other… So let us go our own way… Everything's black and white You love to torture me with your deceptive devices We're playing this chess match – let's fight! Tonight, you're going to pay the prices You're going to be deleted from my mind… I'm not the one that should pay the price You act as if you're an angel from heaven But, you're a fiend…a devil from hell...who needs your advice? Could someone unchain me from this prison? So let us prepare for that day… Fear and bewilderment build inside of our minds Taking over us…we're wasting valuable time Terror and wrath injects into our veins…time starts to unwind I'm regaining my glory…this moment feels so sublime You think you're innocent? I can sense your guilt…bleeding through you Do you live to feed me anguish? Don't deny it…you crafty demon…no wonder I feel blue Let's get ready for battle… I'll watch you decay… IT'S PAY BACK TIME . . . Taste my fury and my agony Everything's black and white You love to torture me with your deceptive devices We're playing this chess match – let's fight! Tonight, you're going to pay the prices You're going to be defeated… I scream before nightfall I close my eyes to kiss my demise I want to disappear Scratch away my desolation Wipe away my tears… Spewing out of my eyes…like a waterfall Tonight, there will be dismay There will be suffering After sundown… Failure and glory will expose like stars in the midnight sky Who will earn the crown? No one knows in silent wars – who can reveal the light in goodbye Why are we black and white? Are you too afraid to know the reason why? Everything's black and white You love to torture me with your deceptive devices We're playing this chess match – let's fight! Tonight, you're going to pay the prices You're going to suffer alone…
There's something unspecific about the autumn nights A certain shade of color that uplifts my inner child's eyes Beside a cashmere moon Venus and Jupiter shine bright Complimented by a sea of blinking infinite twilight The scent of burning oak lingers in the air from home made fires Reminiscent of a time when this man was just a child Careless and so free to dream and any dream to live Like feathers floating across a field carried by the wind As a gentle breeze blows through the leaves shivering delightful gloom Unlike flowers of springtime the disheveled autumn vibrance bloom Leaves crackle beneath my feet along the skeleton tree path Where I try to find my peace or a song to make me laugh The air is so much crisper and also soothing when I breathe it in Underneath a starry sky and brighter constellations of Heaven Amidst the trail I pass a lovely couple holding hands While their children run aside frolicking in a playful dance An old man and his wife admire the view from a wooden bench With smiles on their face as if nostalgia is still their closest friend Its these specific autumn affects that bring me sorrows and joy Reminding me of all theses things Ive wanted as a man since I was a little boy Its times like these that I wish I wasn't always so alone Because I would light an fire with my family and call it home
Beautiful Lies One beautiful lie , an unvoiced sonnet Words veiled with a crime that steals my hearts last beat Slow turn of your mood shows me disquiet With kisses warm and vulgar with deceit. One pulse stills, our love was not the one love, Just remains of a lukewarm cup of tea. You steep and brood, one pineing the lost dove. My broken wing lame, I fall into the sea. Beautiful lies, my heart begs for your fires To hear the words forged my way by anvil Beautiful lies, hope grows dim and expires Waiting for judgment by divine gavel Tremble my lips , tears fall dry from my eyes Protect me from madness, beautiful lies.
someone always told me this with tears in her eyes... (for Lata Sethi's late-mother, who was my mother's 'sister' and who took us all into her heart, and for Lata and Ravi Sethi of Defence Colony, New Delhi) a wife left South Africa in the 1960's to join her husband who was in exile at the time... in 1970 the husband was sent by the African National Congress to India to be its representative there... the husband and wife spent two years in Bombay... one afternoon the husband fell and broke his leg... the wife knocked on their neighbour's door, in an apartment complex in Bombay the neighbour was an old Punjabi lady... the wife asked the neighbour for a doctor to see to the injured husband... a Parsi 'Bone-Setter' was promptly summoned... the husband still recalls his anxiety of seeing 'Bone-Setter' written on the Parsi gentleman's bag... by the way, the 'Bone-Setter' worked his ancient craft and surprisingly for the husband, his broken leg healed quite soon... but still on that day, while the 'Bone-Setter' was seeing to the husband... the wife and the old Punjabi lady from next door got to talking about this and that and where these new Indian-looking wife and husband were from as their accents were clearly not local... the wife told the elderly Punjabi lady that the husband worked for the African National Congress of South Africa and had left to serve the ANC from exile... and that they had left their two children behind in South Africa and that they were now essentially political refugees... the Punjabi lady broke down and wept uncontrollably... she told the foreign woman that she too had had to leave her home in Lahore in 1947 and flee to India with only the clothes on her back when the partition of the subcontinent took place and Pakistan was formed and at a time when Hindus from Pakistan fled to India and vice versa... the Punjabi lady then asked the foreign woman her name... 'Zubeida', but you can call me 'Zubie'... the Punjabi woman hugged Zubie some more, and the two women, seperated by age and geography, wept, sharing a shared pain... the Punjabi woman told Zubie that she was her 'sister' from that day on, and that she felt that pain of exile and forced migration and what being a refugee felt like... Zubie and her husband Mosie became the closest of friends with the Hindu Punjabi neighbours who were kicked out of Pakistan by Muslims... then came the time for Mosie and Zubie to leave for Delhi where the African National Congress office was based... the elderly Punjabi lady and Mosie and Zubie said their goodbyes... a year or two later, the elderly Punjabi lady's daughter Lata married Ravi Sethi and the couple moved to Delhi... the elderly Punjabi lady called Zubie and told her that her daughter was coming to Delhi to live and that she had told Lata, her daughter that she had a 'sister' in Delhi... Lata and Ravi Sethi then moved to Delhi... This was in the mid-1970's... Lata and Zubie became the closest of friends and that bond stayed true, and stays true till today, though Zubie is no more, and the elderly Punjabi lady is no more... the son and the husband still have a bond with Lata and Ravi Sethi... a bond that was forged between Hindu and Muslim and between two continents across the barriers of creed and time... a bond strong and resilient, forged by the pain and trauma of a shared experience... and that is why, and I shall never stop believing this, that hope shines still, for with all the talk of this and of that, and of that and of this, there will always be a simple woman, somewhere, anywhere, who would take the 'other' in as a sister, a fellow human... and that is why there will always be hope... hope in the midst of this and of that and of that and of this... hope... (for Lata Sethi's late-mother, who was my mother's 'sister' and who took us all into her heart, and for Lata and Ravi Sethi of Defence Colony, New Delhi)
We Need God Back Into Our Schools! There are some trying to remove God from this nation! They do is under; "a church and state separation." For many years, God was taught in our schools! Until the Supreme Court took it away, with it's rules! As so many young people look to fill life's "void." They try many things that they think they'll enjoy! Rather than having God's word to obey and live by. They choose the kind of life that they will die by! Drugs, sex and violence of many perverted kinds. Are what is now filling so many young people's minds! Read the headlines! Many young people are stressed out! Yet our government can't seem to figure it out! Another shooting… Another act of violence appears! While any kind of answer seems to have disappeared! The answer is not more money to solve their problem! No matter how much the government tries to solve them! Let me give you answer. It's called "read the Bible 101!" It's time to repent to God the father, the spirit and the son! Our young people need God brought back into their life! And allow him to heal their brokenness and strife! Jesus Christ is the solution for which many are asking! Only he can give anyone a life that's everlasting! Please come Lord Jesus! And heal the wounded hearts! It's everyone one of us, that it needs to start! No court or school can separate God's love for you and me! Where will you spend your eternity? By Jim Pemberton 10/24/13
At Church, We Talked About the Holy Spirit! At church, we talked about the Holy Spirit. And discussed how to be guided by it! We discussed scripture and God's power! And how we need his spirit... This hour! We learned about how the Holy Spirit moved long ago. And how we need it now! To nourish our soul! It seemed like no matter what we decided We knew the spirit's power has been provided! Rather than just all of us talking about it... Isn't it about time, that we really experience it? The disciples of the Bible were empowered from on high! They boldly proclaimed God! And were not shy! It's almost like the church today is somewhat defeated! Because the Holy Spirit's work isn't completed! How can anyone experience the Holy Spirit within? When so many hang on to unrepentant sin??? If you're one, who's hanging on to a denomination... Is God's spirit part of your life's foundation??? Won't you take the time to wait on the spirit's presence! God is powerful! And is loving and omnipresent! Talk is cheap! Submission to God's spirit is the key! To help you in life! And give you the victory! Won't you come now? And enjoy the spirit's fullness? It will bring you joy! And complete wholeness! By Jim Pemberton
Where I'm from we don't do debts, fronts, or take tabs They don't understand nothing but stashing cash Put that money on the head, you don't need a mask They don't understand nothing but stashing cash How is a broke fool gon' try and smash They don't understand nothing but stashing cash Money on my mind like bread on a sandwich I run the city, they're the lights, I'm the switch I stand for what's mine, never see me slip and fall I'm runnin' the race, you're a baby with a slow crawl My cash stay on point, like a sharpened pencil Try 'n' copy my style, you gon' need mo' than a stencil I don't be's in the trap, buy my workers put-in overtime Feds can't catch me, never see me committin' crime That's why from time to time I shoot 'em a raise And tell 'em to stash cash for those rainy days If money talk, then there's nothing to say If B.S walk, none of ya' fools can stay My money talkin' for me, betta' yet, it's in a conversation Ya' look like money; make money, nice observation They say the love of money's the root of all evil So how much money will it take to really love people
I might sparkle in the night but I'm not the only star you might not see them in the sky it depends on where you are Am I the only light in your eyes that makes you smile when you cry if your favorite's what you say don't you blink it might fade away Only when we give everything we're truly ready for better things we invite ourselves off to drift the steam rises and our spirits lift Follow me, into sun sets be brave and strong with no regrets and when the sea takes the light we'll find a new day after the night there's still a new day after the night
God, my ears are open And I know what to do. Please help me to make a decision That finally leads to You.
Look at you, you have found my heart With love I stare into your eyes With passion I devise I can not part with you or can not stop the things I have started So I raise my hands to embrace you and you alone Look I walk by your side and I found my self crying With your hands so soft with gentleness With your smile so beautiful with carefulness I do notice life with you without sighing So I raise my hands to embrace you and you alone Without a fear of losing you, you are in my visions With beautiful roses by your side I love you more than twelve times Without doubt I do love you, I care for you and you alone So do not walk away Please lets talk about things anyway With feelings of letting you go is make me ache in the heart Do not stop believing my passion has fallen apart So I raise my hands to embrace you and you alone Look I want us to grow old with each other through years of journeys With hope of sharing life of fulfillment that gives us memories With this I hope to give all of my faith and I hope it is not to late I Look into your eyes with such full life because you have been my life date So I raise my hands to embrace you and you alone And you alone So I raise my hands to embrace you you alone
Living A Lifestyle That the Bible Forbids… I know of someone living a lifestyle that the Bible forbids. He told me; "how dare anyone tell me how I should live!" He added; "what I do is no one else's business but my own." "No one can ever tell me what I do in my home!" When given scripture that clearly forbids what he's doing… It's the backward kind of life… That he's choosing! He claims Jesus is his lord, in spite of his moral depravity. It's like he has, in his body, an "infected cavity." God gave to us his word, with his holy instructions! If we don't obey, it'll lead to our spiritual destruction! It doesn't matter if 10,000 churches say that it's o.k. to do! God requires a righteous and holy way of living, for me and YOU! There are choices we all have, that are to be made! Are you going to be victorious in Christ? Or sin's slave??? Have you thought about living for Jesus? And what it cost? If we're not sacrificing our lives for him, we're forever lost! If you're one who's caught up into a life filled with perversion… May I introduce you to the blood of Jesus? And a righteous conversion? God gave to each of us, HIS rules and commandments to live by! It's either God's rules, or man's, that you'll either live or die by! Won't you choose a life that God has chosen to give you? He created mankind! It's no secret how much he loves you! The opportunity is here! It may never come again! Won't you let the power of Jesus break the bondage of sin? Jesus can set you free! Won't you let him help you? He's patiently waiting… Just because he wants to! By Jim Pemberton 10/07/13
A female friend of gorgeous pulchritude presents a boy with an experience of erotic, nervous, elated mood,-- to him, it's a most welcomed "hinderance." A male friend of chiseled, sexy, good looks makes a big girl self-conscious and confused when reading "Fifty Shades of Grey" love books as she's turned on by him, fully aroused. They each may think of the possibilities and wonder: "What can it hurt...if I cross that line?" Is it worth the realities and risks and the potential chance of loss? A sexy friend's hot bod may be real fine, but is it worth a cheap roll on cloud nine? 1.) poembender; 2.) Philosophical motif; 3.) for "Impress me with a small poem III" Contest
Man's Corruption... God's Redemption! The Bible speaks of man's sin and corruption. That's why God has offered us, his redemption! The heart is desperately wicked above all things. There's an evil corruption that sin brings! The Lord searches our heart and tests our ways. He watches our lives, all of our days! There's nothing good in ourselves. Not now, or ever! Without God's mercy... We're doomed forever! But, through Christ, there's a way and a plan! He made this available to every woman and man! His gift of salvation is a message of love, made clear! The coming of Jesus Christ, draws ever so near! We can trade our sinful corruption, for a new way of living! Won't you come before the Lord, with a heart of giving? Giving our life to Jesus, is the best thing to do! By his power and grace, you can be made BRAND NEW! I'm thankful for his salvation! Mercy has been applied! Because of Christ' death on the cross… I'm now sanctified! By Jim Pemberton
I will grow old I tremble in the cold None to care I have nothing to fear... But my love is alive Though I strive Beautiful roses to pluck Yet I am stuck.. I grow old with wrinkle Yet I will kinker You will always remain in my mind This is how you will find...
Baby, you remind me of a bunny, sweet loyal and trustworthy you always make life funny when we're not together, i miss you badly, you notice things no other man bothers to notice, when i look into your blue eyes i see the true me, my exes made me feel worthless that's why i believe in our family, when we speak i feel the love when you smile at me i could swim in your dimples our hands fit together as snug as gloves and one hug from you makes life seem simple I'm so happy you are my boyfriend i never want this relationship to end.
My best friend Is your best friend too! He died for me; He died for you!

Where I'm from we don't do debts, fronts, or take tabs They don't understand nothing but stashing cash Put that money on the head, you don't need a mask They don't understand nothing but stashing cash How is a broke fool gon' try and smash They don't understand nothing but stashing cash My Green could fill-up a Bay, need a few Packers Haters look, fold and crumble like Ritz-crackers Money comes and goes, but you know mine stays Like a well-trained dog, sometimes it even lays Money brings power, respect, gotta' have the jewels Call me a handy-man, I stay with my tools I know it sounds messed-up, but it's money-over-everything My weight's been up, you just started like a flower in spring My money keeps flippin', like some Burgers on a grill Money on me heavy, like a work-out, makes me sweat fo'real Active, got a million hustles, I'm motivated and dedicated Call me and money happily married, we can't be separated Not talking movies, but I bet you ain't seen this in a while My money's long, go 'head, call it the green mile Long as I'm stashing cash, I'll always come out on top Like a junkie smokin' dope, me making money won't stop
REQUIEM FOR LOVE Let the flood of my tears drown this day And soar my spirit to the base of tartarus…! O Cupid…come Pothos and Himeros Where are thy powers to hold still? Are thou wearied by human caprices, Of whose hands fate lies then? Elusive Aphrodite, of all thy allures Thou perish in fantasies of beauty. O fair rose, my heart is pierced, Beneath thy bed is frame of thorns. Gather ye four winds in monotonous drone And let thee pines chime a dirge O love...love…love…my love…my joy… Is now lain a wreath upon my heart! Years of love intrigues, of dreams, sacrifice, Pain, trust, consolation and determination… Is sold out a day to another who knows not, For a piece of coin and a parcel of fancy. Lento… lento the knell for a broken heart… Love is clothed a shadow, beauty a mask! Cry… for what is broken so shall remain Never to be wiped, never to be patched!
Decade solid solitary years Finally, the season winter ends . . . With only sunsets beside my bed, I sleep and wake up alone. More than dozens, I cried a river to scream my fret for long long years, I am committed, yet I walked alone. Ice drizzled during the days then it turned to hails to cubes and to iceberg.. U.N.B.R.E.A.K.A.B.L.E. Days are boiling-- It welcomes summer for partnered swims. I invited you but so sad you said a straight: "NO." Hence by myself, I went to dive on ocean blue. Years later, we both smell a baby's breath, one then two. but still, it did nothing to resuscitate a love to bloom, true... I shiver with the coldness mirrored on your stares, my joints and muscles quiver as I reach a state of hypothermia. Yearning and wanting... I dare to embrace you a little while like the snow melting under sun's glare, oh! so slowly, you thaw my longing. We are just a room apart yet our feet seems frozen to start... Not even once, we came to meet. No talks. No grins. No hugs. No kiss. Have our marriage years gone tarry for just long ago, I agree to tie an endless love with you...? What had happened, Tearless now, but let me know!!! Did Frosty the Snowman steal you from me?! I followed Santa Claus advice to be nice and never naughty. I tried to be an angel-- with a halo never with a horn or tail. Yet, I view the rolling years of us being together all I can see is a steadfast rainfall of snowflakes... Penetrating in between skinfolds Containing me in a cold volcanic tremors. Until one day, God must have heard me: He answered my prayer allowing me to see a lady candle's light: a window of hope. Then lately, my frost clad self defrosts as she touched me. She, surging strips of shine, her aura a blanket of warmth. Pliant, she painted a portrait of sunshine into my daily life. When I lay my head on bed sharp ten o'clock at night, I see outside the blinking stars and the crescent moon. Has blossoms of spring started to sprout within my days? For no longer I shiver with absolute zero coldness rather I triple tremble in tempo to meet my hearts hot demand a final adieu to winters icy loveless land. as lately somebody has taken hold of my hand.. I bask with the squeeze I received for I found out, our hands, fit in one weave... ___________________________________ ©O. E. Guillermo 10:31 pm, January 14, 2015
My son is getting older, and he just went back to College, the other day. But he had enjoyed the summer, by adding a new game to his daily play. He called it Troll Tipping as daily he targeted another, and wore him out. By dinner, the Troll would fall asleep, as my son claimed his dessert, so devout. But wearing out a Troll, is not such an easy thing, so many a night, a Troll got his. What a shame! But as a resourceful college man, at devising plans he was a whiz. He offered them a Fun Filled Tip, yes, a way to get others, to do their daily chores. The cost to each individual Troll, was their sweet dessert, that night, nothing more. He was doing great, as he ran thru many a Troll, but then our suspicions did unfold. You see, this bred unrest, as a number of fights started, amongst our beloved Trolls. Scheming isn't sharing, so Grandpa Troll had a TALK, life changing, or so it's told. But Boys are boys, and desserts were to be had, so he made a new plan, quite bold. You might say he invented Granny Tipping, yes, now it was MY dessert, on the line. Now this would be quite simple, for at my age, I can easily, become tiredly inclined. But the one thing he'd forgot: is how crafty age had made this old one, in her efforts. As dinner wound down, I cued Grandpa Troll, to help deliver, those delicious desserts. I told my son, that they were made to be his favorite, simply in honor, of his behalf. Then I pretended to fall asleep, and he quickly took my dessert, with a joyous laugh. Then suddenly his eyes grew big! And I awoke, looking him quite clearly, in the eye. I lied that, I added laxatives and terrible cod liver oil, to my dessert nightly, yes, so sly. Making them easier to swallow, but if he wanted more dessert, he only had to ASK. He quickly sped away, to wash that terrible taste, out of his mouth, a daunting task! And we all had our chance to laugh at him… as the joke was finally on him, at last. I call this, Bad Behavior Tipping, and from that day to this, he asks for more, at last! The game seemed to lose its luster that day, yes, manners did a BIG, comeback. The moral is to politely ask… Playing clever little games… is NEVER for the best!

(To be read after my 'Fire and Brimstone'.) Dragon Fly, Dragon Fly, fly away home. You've caused enough trouble here, I am told. All you wanted was to ring the church bell, but the belfry your body did not take well. Terrible things happened all around, and the belfry you left is certainly not sound. Old Lady Moore still has her cane, to protect them again, if you cause harm, within. Old Lady Swanson's lost hat is her major complaint, apologize profusely, be a saint! The Church belfry will need lots of work; by the carpenter Trolls to fix it's bridgework. The people all need to calm down, they were scared and now the church is shutdown. Looks like they'll need a new fancy annex to be built for weddings and such… To help them forgive… even… ever… slightly… enough. Though, of course… The preacher himself…wants you back, for sure; I am definitely, and totally assured. He's never been inspired to such lofty greatness to soar, never, not even, once before. He says you hold his key, to reach the lost, as they tune in to see what's coming next. He wants to add even, the Trolls to the mix. If they can be saved, well, you get the gist. And you'll have to attend church for quite a while, yes, still, as an itsy bitsy Dragonfly. You'll need to get forgiveness from all, you know, before you grow big, again, I am told. The witch is quite clear on this spell, a dragonfly you'll stay till everything's made well. Seems, you also, owe them an apology, for half scaring them… well… nearly to death. Bumps, bruises, and a broken arm need to heal, from jumping over the pews, they feel. Plus some of the teenagers, have made tee shirts of you, and want your autograph, too. You see, your limited edition, when signed, will pay their way to bible camp, this time. And the girl with the cast on her arm, wants a picture of you on a leash, so be charming! You see, you scared her, a really whole lot, if she can pet you, her fear will be forgot. It seems, you really messed up, this time, you see… but all will be forgiven, eventually. So Dragon Fly, Dragon Fly, fly away home. They understood, once your story was told. If you agree to all I have said: They'll give you a bell outside, to ring before church… Each and every Sunday Morn, with a special alcove, made for only you, to perch... Remember, if God can love a mischievous little Dragonfly... And he can love you, too. So until next church time... Bye Bye...
I write my late night revelations paint an image so clear- so precise- as if fine-tuned with a microscope. I see the truth. I now realize that what I need- I want- is YOU. I don't know how I am going to make you see, make you feel... I need to make you know. A simple touch is all I need to delve into your mind and infect you. But how to reach you? You are hidden far away within your own mind, in maze of your own design. Between us locked doors and endless traps, mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes, oceans, miles and miles of impassible terrain that keeps me apart, keeps me from you! We are two universes set to collide- not to be destroyed, but merge into one. Set to collide, but keep missing our mark. This is unbeknownst to you. I keep the secrets within me. How much longer can I wait- how much longer until my silence consumes me? Until you break me? I am deserted, alone, left in desolation. You are the answer to the questions, the key to my freedom. But you cannot reach me. And you do not know what you are. How much longer til my time runs out?
What Does Marriage Mean to YOU? What all hear various definitions of what marriage means. Not realizing the consequences this often brings! There's often a lack of commitment and faithfulness. Many still looking for a true source of happiness! This institution, that God set up as a husband and wife. Needs to have his spirit, to guide our life! It's no wonder why, there's many falling apart! It's causing heartache and many broken hearts! No court in the land can wash away sin's dark stain. When adultery happens, things aren't the same! May we all seek to ask God to strengthen our home! He's there to help us! When we feel all alone! We need the blood of Jesus to daily cleanse us! He wants to do this! Because he loves us! Jesus remains committed, faithful and strong! His word will teach us what's right and wrong! May we seek HIS guidance and council! You'll find, that he is always most helpful! Please Jesus… Heal the broken families across this nation! For only you can provide a much needed foundation! By Jim Pemberton
If I picked my Valentine she'd be a perfect 10. She'd have blonde hair with highlites and answer where and when. She'd be a little shorter, yet tall enough to kiss. Her reach a little longer to torture us in bliss. Her shape would be the bomb. As sexy as they come. With hair up for the moment I'd meet her at the prom. She'd talk a little faster with words I'd say are smart. Yet keep me to attention in hugs up to my heart. A smile just like a lion. Her face a source of pride. One to show my mother. And then to make my bride. My Valentine was perfect as I lost her way back then. How was I to know that she would find her perfect 10.
I wake on the sand Right near the beach You have yet to awake Far out of reach And Daybreak has arrived A beauty unlike any other Comparable only to us, girl And how we love each other So I gaze up alone Marveling up at the sky The warmth of the sun Drying my eyes I'm reflecting on us Oh how each other we trust I'm just so happy we're together And I think to myself, Just as this sun, we'll last forever Then returning to be with you I lay again now Place my hand gently On your warm tender shoulder While I think of our lives today, love And how they'll be when we're older... I know there'd be no other way So "I Love You" I make sure I say To you, each and everyday
I awoke this morning early, an ache within my soul; A longing, deep, beat at my heart in waves hard to control. Weeks have passed since you and I stood together face to face; I've searched the world around me, yet none can take your place. You shared a special part of this life of mine; Together we drank deeply of youth's sparkling wine. We seldom write a letter; your voice I do not hear; But many times before me your image will appear. Our hearts are bound together; our thoughts still intertwine, Though the distance now is great between your home and mine. Today I feel your presence though I have not heard one word; Friendship stretched across the miles, my mem'ries gently stirred. True friends find birth in God's great heart; their roots grow strong and deep. Your friendship is mine forever, a treasure I can keep. Today I'll spend in reverie, a long and sweet review:; I'll wash our memories with tears and celebrate knowing you.
Gun fire all around, bombs going off in the distance It was some of the angry mobs and resistance Father was the king of SafeHaven a small kingdom Like all other kingdoms it fell in random Fire started in the castle And along with it came a battle It was a distance memory now because the child has now grew Many things in this child that made memories stew My name is Mastrey, a young orphan who was there that night Mastrey saw her in the distance and her father and mother in his sight Everyone was loud that night and made all the children hide But that evening Mastrey saw her mother and father die She ran into the bushes in such a fright And evil doers were running around with flashlights Mastrey remember it as he distracted them Her eyes was so confused with problems Mastrey new that it was because of what just occurred His feelings of what those people did was not awkward The distraction worked, he went back to were she was Hiding and very scared she was, he asked her, can you trust me just because? Her answer that night depended on her lively hood As Mastrey was their with his hand reaching out to her as he stood Pulling her up from the ground he looked into her eyes that were SeaBlue Mastrey had made a life long friend and love, She knew it was true Next: My Story Telling, Who is this Princess
I've watched the war from behind closed doors; Eyes too glued to close. And now knowing what's in store, there's porn no more. God's love is the only hope we know. We are forgiven because of the love that is Jesus. We are saved because of the love that is Jesus. We give our lives to the Father for we are His children and He loves us. We are loved! No matter what we've done, we are loved! Confess and ask for forgiveness; This is such a beautiful gift! Thank You God! Thank You Jesus! You forgive me! You save me! You change me! I am changed! I am new! I am renewed! I am forgiven! I am saved! I am changed! There's porn no more For God's hope is in store! There's porn no more For God's love is the hope of the world!
Experiencing many different emotions, it is shocking to my soul. Such an intense attraction drawing me in, surprising I am complete as a whole. Finally full and complete within, a satisfation I've never experienced before. Finally someone able to find the hidden key, the only key that can unlock my safty door. Gratified in every way possible, he has broken through the barrier I've been hiding behind for years. Complete in life and in love, finally able to let go of all my fears. With a smile on my face and happiness in my heart, my dream has come true. He is my definition of perfect, from day one, my heart and head just knew. He leads me through many exciting adventures, packed full of pleasant surprises. Everyday he gives me something new, the intensity level constantly rises. As the relationship continues, the emotions get more intense. Surprising me every chance he gets, my suspense level balances on the fence. It hit me like a tons of bricks, how fast I needed what he had to offer. His eyes, his touch, his love and charm, made me a little softer. Everyday I look forward to where this will lead, but I am excited as a couple what we have become. Enjoying every moment as it's our very first, my heart constantly beats like a drum. We have been through many trials and tribulations, with every memory I keep on replay. DeShane, you are the one meant for me, in my mind, in my heart and in my soul, is where I want you to stay!
Best of friends, for countless years, we had the best of times. Now as my eyes are filled with tears, your soul to Heaven climbs. The path we take, not always clear, I feel so lost without you here. Your last words, prophetic now, "I'll be home soon"- you knew somehow. You left me here, I'm so alone, but I dreamed Heaven had a phone. We talked all night, you fell asleep, I held the line to hear you breathe… Copyright © 2013
I can act insane But DO NOT Make me feel worthless I belong in God's family He will bless my future generation Don't punish me for Being myself – Don't envy my glee I can act like an Adult, but I'd Prefer to have joy… Not stress… That piles upon us in our Everyday lives Being childlike is A rare beauty – No one prizes it… No one came across it… In this lifetime… I can laugh all day I can make you smile If you'd accept my Childlike dreams of mine Don't treat me like a sick swine Renew my young heart Give me the ability To kill the old man… I have my place in God's family He'll be adored and glorified We'll exchange prayers and hugs By my future generation I beg of you – Don't kill my childlike mentality I'll behave myself… I'm positively sure that I'll make you happy I'll still have pieces of a child in me And pass it on to my future generation…
Hood fellow, pull her hair like I do the trigger Plenty of cash, don't care if she's a gold-digger She broke-up with her ex and got me, lost and found Get in bed, take out my pistol, let off a round Shoot her up, shoot her up, bang, bang Blowing on my mic', the best song she ever sang The chick's riding me, she started to pant She dropped down low, started giving brain, transplant She's eating that wood, like she's a termite Got something to quench her thirst, but it's not sprite I think I might go down-town, to get some dessert She's like a water gun when she climax, squirt Always takes showers, but she's oh so dirty Started at three, it's going on four-thirty Make sure I meet her needs, you're a minute man She say I got flavor, but you're kinda' bland I'm speeding, you get home at six, it's rush-hour Gotta' clean up for you, hit it in the shower She's so wet, it's like swimming in the ocean Hop out the shower, dry off, wipe her down with lotion Starts to get upset, said she wanted me to stay Ain't in Florida, but she might go M.I.A
My heart is on Your shoulders, And You are lifting me up. With every spoken tender gesture, I fall a little farther in love.
Alas there is no more confusion, finally found my last conclusion. Expect me as if Jesus will return, from a ghost to a realm of concern. Your dreams are portals like doors, welcoming spirits into hasten wars. Leaving the thoughts without trust, keeping your fears in much disgust. And though you sought no consequence, deeds that confirm a wicked malevolence. Awaiting in your nightmare of screams, enjoy what is left amongst your dreams.
I'm not the kind of person I need to be! There's too many problems inside of me! I'm not the kind of person you'd want to know… I've too many worries and a troubled soul! I'm the kind of person who has a lot of stress! Lately, my life has been one big mess! I'm the kind of person who doesn't have a friend. You listen to me now… But may never see me again! I'm the kind of person who's gone through pain! I wake up some days, and don't even know my name! I may not be the kind of person you'd want to be around. I may get discouraged, and "get you down." I'm the kind of person who's giving Jesus a chance… I know he loves me! Whatever the circumstance! I'm the kind of person who needs a lot of prayer! I know that God listens! And is always there! Please help me Jesus! That I may be set free! May it be your love that others will see! Thank you Jesus! For being my savior and friend! You're someone that this person can always depend! I'm not the kind of person that Jesus wants me to be! That's why I need more of HIM! And LESS of me! By Jim Pemberton
Morals, Morality and Ethical Direction… We often hear of morals, morality and ethical direction. What they mean, I suppose, is "one's discretion." Very seldom, is anything from the Bible being heard. Why obey God's commandments? Why, that's absurd! Many claim, that as adults, just about anything is "o.k." As long as you don't do what they do, but what they say! Many are "bombarded" with sexual type of temptations… Often leading many to get into perverse addictions! We set up boards of people to try to be "ethically clean." When it comes down to it… What does this really mean? Can a person be totally immoral, but 100% ethical?' Does this, in some way, seem kind of "heretical?" Why believe in God? He's been ruled "unconstitutional." While many listen to the news, which is often "delusional!" We hear of perversions, that are often "glorified." Do we hear of those wanting to be Godly sanctified? If you're confused, and need some kind of spiritual guide! Look to God's word! He has nothing to hide! The kind of morality and ethics that you'll ever need… Can be found in the Bible! Open it and read! Why not read from Genesis through Revelation? We can all find what we need! Across our nation! God and his word give us a true moral compass for living! His life for our own lives, is what he's freely giving! Won't you come to Jesus for godly direction today? He is here! And wants to help you find HIS way! By Jim Pemberton
I'm worried where the next dollar will come from. Will she ever arrive? Will she ever show up? But why am I worrying? Stop it! It's all in God's Great Hands! It's all under God's control! It's all within His plans! It's all His And He will provide Because He is our Father! He loves us! It's all His! Trust Him! I know it's difficult; He will not lead you wrong. He knows where you need to go. He knows what you need to endure. It's all His plan. It's all in His Hands! Lay down your life; Give the control. He is in control! Thank You Father! Trust Him! It will all be okay! Trust Him! Thank You God! Thank You Jesus! Thank You Holy Spirit! I love You always! I trust You always! I trust You! I trust You! Yes, yes I do! I trust You! I love You! Amen!

A Very Inviting Temptation! I remember of a particular situation. I was offered a very "inviting" temptation. The situation I was in... I didn't belong! And lost any sense of "right and wrong." At first... I felt no guilt or shame. And brought embarrassment to my family's name. I tried to explain this to my wife and kids. I heard; "Dad... please... no more fibs!" The Godly principles were "tossed to the side," As the sin inside caused arrogance and pride. Soon, all in my life that truly mattered... Was gone! My life was empty and shattered! I was sorry for all of the problems I caused! This time... I took a moment to pause. I cried to God to rescue me from my sin. I confessed! Would God help me once again? I read in the Bible of Jesus' grace and love! This time the help I needed had to come from above! I asked him for a fresh and brand new start. He removed the stain from a broken heart. He restored to me the joy I once had. I'm so blessed! Jesus has made me glad! Jesus is the reason I'm here today! I LOVE HIM more than words can say! By Jim Pemberton

I love it when you hold me close, and always want to play. How in the morning you message me; on every single day. When you call me every night, before I close my eyes- Or always tell the truth; never any lies. When I get to see your passion with every story that you tell, How even when you're angry, those feelings never dwell. I love that you protect me, from everything around; That even when I'm lost, I know that I'll get found. I love that whenever you start to drive, you make me kiss your cheek. How my stomach gets butterflies with each sweet word you speak. That you cuddle me for a moment and then turn on your side, That all of your accomplishments and family give you pride. I love that you support every decision that I make, That even if you're embarrassed of things- you've never acted fake. How you always want me to be happy, no matter how I feel. That even when we make things up- it's never been more real. How you always make these plans, that often tend to change; When you smile at my senseless jokes, and when I'm acting strange. That you always say I'm pretty, even when I don't think that it's true- How you think that I'd want anyone else; when all I want is you.
I spit game proper, like a pro-batter, I got the right stroke I work deals, like it's Black-Friday, I'm far from broke I can't help but make the girl proud and gay Want some of my time, like takes, you too gotta' pay She don't act up, but she's so bad, discipline Put her in time-out, punishment, a great beatin' When I'm hittin' her good, she calls me daddy I'm her trophy, showcase me, friends wish they had me Too easy, always give it up, her man call it robbery Termite, loves wood, told me have my log handy Do what I order, like a puppet, no-strings-attached Not a crook, but like a purse, your chick got snatched Not intimate, gold-digger, money makes her cum It's me, her, and a bag of money, three-sum You got flushed-down-the-drain, but I'm the crap, feces You're gone, don't make 'em like me, endangered species Got fire-wood, leave the 'coochie' smoking like a Newport Done with you, on to the next, long stick, but life's short Get attached, space myself, I come around less Bad sex, back-stabbing, bull, I ain't with the B.S
Through the lonely woods, I may head, Upon the autumn leaves, I may tread, At the secluded horizon, I may stare, And only you, I may see, In those symphonies of silence, In those melodies of calmness, In those euphonies of quietness. By the silent lake, I may lay, Till the twilight fades, I may stay, Then in reclusive silence, I may walk, And only to you, I may talk, Through those toungueless emotions, Through those wordless attachments, Through those voiceless sentiments. In the lone meadow, I may wander, Along the untrodden paths, I may waver, In companionless seclusion, I may hide, And only in you, I may find, The depths of oneness, The bonds of togetherness, The cozy feel of coalescence. In the wilderness of emotions, I may die, At the merciless daggering, I may sigh, Through a million wounds, I may bleed, And only in you, I may seek, The balm of love, The warmth of affection, The heal of inseparability.
The Bible Gives the Recipe For Success! The Bible gives the recipe to be successful! Life doesn't have to be burdened and stressful! True spiritual success, may not be what you think of! God can give much more, than you can dream of! He gives joy unspeakable! The half hasn't been told! You can walk with him one day, on streets of gold! Blessings come from allowing Jesus to rule your heart! This is where an abundant life, can actually start! Fellowship with Jesus, is friendship divine! He can restore your life! And bring peace of mind! He can restore anything the enemy has taken away! And offers true love and joy, to brighten your day! God's recipe for success, cannot be made or bought! His son died for you! And loves you a lot! Won't you read the Bible? And allow God's word to be applied? Everything you'll ever need in life... He has supplied! Please Lord Jesus… Come and fill our empty soul! It's only YOU that can make us whole! By Jim Pemberton
Give me drink, rest, and solitude-- these are all the things I long for. Give me as well your finest food and I'll ask of you, lass, no more! My bonnie lass, what's the matter-- why are you all sorry and alone? Don't be sad because you're fatter than most, lass, for love loves its own. Sweet lass, I'll tell you a secret. If I were a young lad again, I'd pursue you without regret! But as I am three-score and ten years old, indeed, I can never be the youthful lad you most need. But your pain won't be for ever: for your heart will refuse to bleed.
So you sinned? Well, that's done and over with! Keep it in the past 'Cause that's where it belongs. But ask Jesus for forgiveness; Don't dwell on mistakes any longer Because He makes you new again: Renewed. Love is the outcome; Forget the wrongs, Love and move on!
We will cherish these moments Because they are few, But please always remember I will always love you.
The wind blew events all over the place. Intense emotions and it gave chase. Lightning lighting to show us the sky. People try to sleep and not cry. Wisping by the wind keeps us awake. The time trying to sleep the storms take. Chills in everyone gives all shiver. The clouds surrounded by moonlight is silver. Heavenly prayers that the rain will stop. The flood stopped a car the person in it was a cop. People have seen such devastation. The road that people made was week in creation. Rivers near by was over flowing. Trees that were there was not showing. By the hour it claimed many. My father woke up and did not see any. Floating by was a boat. Keeping people above water and a float. My father kept a canoe. That some day we would use it, that he knew. Time to paddle up and down the street. The rain water kept getting on our seat. It was so dark after the moon was behind the cloud. Still the noise of thunder still covered the ears loud. The smell of moist water never seem to go away. My brothers seem to still sleep anyway. My head was bobbing up and down. I was so tired that I could not hear a sound. The wind blew back and fourth. It seems that my mom and dad paddle their worth. Till all the people we saw with grace. Help us out with embrace. The time was so late at night. Everyone was so sleepy and losing sight. The fight with the weather was so hectic. The feelings of energy was electric. Losing to such natural disaster is hard to understand. When people working hard to block the river with bags of sand. With hard workers like my mom and dad. They make things happen that is not bad. Rough with weather they experience more than ever. Leaders they are they are very clever. From the night light of street lights to the morning glow. The wind did not stop so. Bringing in more clouds that ill. The people who were still tired still had will. The rush of water and waves blasting push the wall side. Pushing and the force brought water inside. The battle of our hour was getting long. Backup people came to aid us was strong. Rested they were to keep everyone with hope. The people stopped the water with the strength of rope. Heavy rain and loss of homes bring people together. It is kind of sad that this was the only time to gather. Chaos comes happiness how true. This is why we are human that gives us a clue. It is our nature to keep rain falling. To know when it is time for our calling. The winds bring such pain and sorrow. That is why rain sometimes fallow.
By my side: The tallest mountain, The calmest pond, The purest stream; My hope and strength, Faith and love; The Lord, Our God, Always by our side

God, I Need Your Forgiveness! God, I need your forgiveness, for things I've done! I need to be washed through the blood of your son! Please take away the heartache and pain!

And daily trust Jesus as my savior and friend! I'll always need someone that I can lean on to! I don't know what I'd do, if I didn't have you! By Jim Pemberton
Is It God We Trust? Or Leave In the Dust? As our courts remove God from this great nation. We are left with a confused and lost generation! As God is taken away from our public schools. A huge tide of immorality is what "rules." The Bible is often mocked and discarded. It was on it's principles this country was started! Just about anything of God seems to get scorned. So many "rush" to worship many ungodly forms. As God's name is often tossed and thrown out. We tend to forget what HE is all about! Too often, his plans for living are tossed and abused. No wonder, there's many who are lost and confused! As people forget God and worship the fallen creature. They look to themselves and "glorify" their features. Many ignore God, and get involved in deep addictions. And with this, come disease, heartache and afflictions! As God looks and sees this nation "bleeding." It's his righteousness, that we need to be seeking! If we would humble ourselves, he would hear our prayer! He loves all of us! And he really does care! Won't you come to HIM, And invite him in? Won't you allow him to be your master and friend? He brings strength and nourishment to the soul! It's only in him that we can be made whole! By Jim Pemberton
God Gave Me A NEW Life! God reached down to my life and changed it! His love touched my soul and I can claim it! God brought to me peace, hope and care… That I may share his goodness to people everywhere! God brought to me the joy of his salvation! And gave my life complete satisfaction! He's given everything that I needed! He gives the victory! I don't have to be defeated! He can do the same for you! Won't you accept him? Just reach out to him now! And believe him! By Jim Pemberton

SOME PASSING TUNE Listen, my love, rise from the bed with me . . . How can you sleep through night's eternity? You sleep too long, anon our life will break - now is the time to live, eyes be awake! Gaze by the window at crystal clear waning moon, beloved remember nights like this will pass too soon. Count and watch for winking stars in the hoary-domed sky; evening is born of shadows and upon dawn must die. We are aged yes, but still none too wise, for we have moonlight, starlight in our eyes! Caress me dear, be mindless that our time is going to a secret land that is not beyond our knowing. . . Come lean your drowsy head against my shoulder. Hurry, before we are older and the wind grows colder. Cuddle me, our autumn soon will cease to be -- with each passing moment left, ah! be all you are to me! Awake, my long darling -- to be with you - - to stay the lengthiest of lifetime through is much too short, a time to feel, to see your grave, sweet face held close... held close to me! ________________________________ Written: 1st stanza and last: iambic pentameter 2nd, 3rd, 4th: variations from 10, 11, 13, 14 syllables Sponsor: Sheri Fresonke Harper Contest Name: Rock Me Around the Clock or Rock Me to Sleep--Rhythm Poems Placed 4th ©O.

Special relationships are developed and strengthened over the years; And those relationships reveal an obligation to fulfil when wisdom begins to knock during the tweens; Oh what a shame, a shock, an ocean of tears brews like fresh coffee; The aroma of unpleasant emotions desires to embrace the tide of positivity; Hours of analyzing, wondering, weeping, twisting and turning; The ray of hope from within crawls assuring that day would come where love, respect, and a big hug would return. Every move, every thought, and every gesture seems deceiving from someone else's perspective; The battle to speak up or atleast share some distasteful sentiments to a near one were uneasy; Every feeling seems cripple and a handicap; Craving the desire of the kiss of sympathy, empathy, and aspiration became phony; Determination, and the ambition to do it or make it right never faded; Thus, the struggle to attain security from within first was the initial step. A new day brought about a new learning that the power and natural sensation of maternal affiliation seemed insensitive, competitive, selfish, and unfair; The joy and contentment of holding the baby in one's arms was blurry and forgotten; The result of feeling complete as a woman did not ring a bell nor the gratitude toward the Supreme power was acknowledged; But, the cultivation of a new battle was instigated without notice; The innocent tween was struggling with mind games with the assertive adult; It was like a black magic being done when many things simply backfired. Over the years, the achievements, praise, support, and love from people whom one would least expect from was given without any doubt; Slowly trying to accept the fact that not everyone's maternal relationship is normal or even a bed of roses; However, the lucky ones receive a bundle of appraises, moral support, advice, a kiss on the cheek to show they matter; The juggle between maternal and material relationship will be a long and awaited answer; Till the last breath, the concerns over material possessions and security will be anyone's concern because it is never easy to be happy with what you have knowing what you have may be distressful; The weight of material and maternal affiliations still arises many questions, unwanted moments, and of course a salute to cherished occasions that anyone has undergone.
Love is not easy Love is hard Love is time apart Trying not to drown Praying to stay loyal Holding on to lover's promises Dreaming of reuniting Crying tears of hurt and joy Thinking of you constantly Asking God for all the best Love is difficult Love is not easy Love is hard Love is faith Love is hope Love is trust But love is beautiful Oh, so beautiful And love is worth it Oh, so worth it Love is in God's Hands Love is protected Love will come back again Reunion again For God is love In Jesus' Name We pray Amen!
As I think about where my life has been... It's hard to believe that I'm still here again! I think about the many things I've been through. And ask myself the question; "what am I going to do?" With the trials of life, have come trials. A life filled with uncertainty and many "traveled miles." It's like riding the waves of life's stormy sea. Never knowing where the next wave will take me! Everything I know... And all that I've done… I lay down my life at the feet of Jesus... God's precious son! I ask you Jesus for mercy! I come to you now! I come before your majesty and humbly bow! You've brought love and wholeness within! You've given me a "new life!" And took away my sin! I love and thank you Lord, for your hand extended! The beauty of your holiness is to be commended! You brought to me hope, in a hopeless situation! And have given to me the wonderful gift of salvation! By Jim Pemberton
Streets made me, that's why I bleed cement Your hour has come, your time is spent My strap spoils fools, expiration date Class was in, you din't participate Raised your hand, it's good to ask questions Pay attention, don't cost much, even in recessions Beginning of the end, this is a take-over If you're sluggish, better move over Came from the bottom, now I'm elavatin' Fully focused, like I'm testin' Keep my eyes on the prize, ignore distractions Reflexes like a cat, no late reactions Ain't playin' in movies, but I'm quick to act I'm an over-achiever, I never lacked Like an all-in pot, I gave it everything Married to the game, I got it a ring Devoted to money, never catch me cheatin' To me, getting paid is better than skeetin' Hustling is like Viagra for making cash At times it gets hard, and it makes it last
Satan HATES everything that God loves! He tries to counterfeit everything he does! He goes about as a lion, seeking whom to devour! He comes after us! But God alone has the power! Satan will twist God's truth, into a corruptible lie! He has one mission! And that is to see you die! He wants to enslave you into deep addictions! And bring into your life, unneeded afflictions! He has one purpose, ambition and goal… Is to seek eternal damnation of your very soul! Jesus has come! His TRUTH can set you free! He has come that you may have life abundantly! Won't you accept him? You can overcome! Through the shed blood, and power of God's son! All glory to Jesus! All praise to HIM on high! He is your protector! He is El-Shaddai! Won't you allow God's love to bring you salvation? He offers it to right now! A heavenly invitation! God's love is stronger than Satan! HE reigns supreme! He can help you to overcome, the lies the devil brings! By Jim Pemberton
You and I are strangers Obviously don't want any danger Craving; thirsty and of hunger Oh! everyone avoid a pretender You are from afar somewhere Of which we share something not fever Camaraderie and ideas so tender Honesty no doubt a big waver Maybe in a lifetime once we'll meet Or maybe will never have chance for a meal However, If we can settle for a deal A relationship we can build real Try to feel, try to feel Life is like the round wheel Up and down it does turn Short or over may give you a burn Persons everyday come and go Unto your hands lays the choice Don't be the unpredictable bingo Rather humbly be precise... Friends that we can, forever be Of pair: A gentleman and a lady Regardless others say, be steady Near perfect combination we may be by: olive_eloi 5:22pm 01/09/2014 ------------------»»»
Jesus' death paid it all! What have you given in return? His death on the cross… Was from his love and concern! His life for yours… On Calvary… Has been paid. His offer of eternal life, has been made! Through God's word, he's been talking! And stands at your hearts door… patiently knocking! Won't you invite him in? As your guest? Then, your life will be totally blessed! He can bring health and healing to your bones! He can bring his love to your family and home! "Come unto me." Is the the master's call. Won't you come to him now? One and all? He's here right now! In this very place… And extends to you his mercy and grace. Won't you accept him today? He loves you more than words can say! By Jim Pemberton
Destiny never announces to us our place of arrival The streets, countries or cities Sometimes our journey is by circumstance Other times it is divine At thirty eight years old I was still looking for Mr direction I was still in the smoky mushy atmosphere of confusion Until I stepped out by the invitation of Mr self confidence Ahhhhh I need to tell you the story Things I discovered You are alone in this world and so many people we call friends are just acquaintances Some don't even qualify as acquaintances Talk about money please don't go there It's a situation for excuses But you learn and you grow up You learn to choose friends wisely You grow up to soak up the motions You also grow up to follow your heart in all issues I sometimes regret relationship mistakes But it gave me relationship wisdom Needy, emotionally disturbed women are dangerous They are time wasters and destiny killers Being single is as challenging as being married And none is bad If you are still single enjoy every bit of it And if you are married carry your cross and don't complain Life is a journey I stepped out yeah I did And am loving it Loving it on the way to my beautiful destination A destination created by wisdom and plenty knowledge From all of life mistakes All the time Jesus was always cheering me on Go you can make it Get off the floor is not your place Get up move Do what you love to do You can make it Oh Jesus I love you so Jesus never criticised me When everyone trampled on me Jesus always comforted The greatest friend in the world, also my comforter Same friend is the one that always leads me to all truth Hmmm my beautiful destination Am almost there When you fall down make sure you pick something I contemplated suicide once now I just laugh Because its foolishness There is nothing new everything you are going through has happened before Every challenge has a solution Yes, I have been in that lonely hopeless place Where I thought life has ended But guess what; it just started The wisdom and lessons you learn Illumines the darkness in your life And suddenly you now have direction And you know exactly what to do with your life It's called discovering your purpose When you arrive here people don't push you around anymore Or give you stupid pieces of advice Please put on a smile and some dancing shoes and turn on that switch Put some light in your life For fun people are living people And living people are attracted to living people Enjoy your life The screws are still intact Shalom.
There's a lot in life, that I don't understand! And a lot of wickedness throughout this land! A lot of heartache and misery, is what I'm seeing! Any kind of commitment, seems to be disappearing! Being faithful to anything, seems to be of the past. My lives seem to be falling apart… And fast! Any principles of Godly living, seem to be ignored. So many appear to be, "complacent and bored." I often wonder what God must be thinking. When it seems like this whole world is "sinking!" I've decided to come to Jesus! And really pray! That people will really listen to what God has to say! "What shall the righteous do, if the foundations are destroyed?" Very soon, many of our "freedoms," will not be enjoyed! Please, dear Jesus, come and heal our broken nation! Help us all to confess our sins! And accept your salvation! Please come and bring your peace and love within! That we may seek the living God! Once again! God is our only hope! It's in him, that we're strong! It's in his arms of mercy, that we all belong! Please God… Come and touch us with your healing! It's only in you, that we have a true meaning! By Jim Pemberton
Human or Humane – Zamreen Zarook The precious creature of the divine lord, One differ from other as the playings of harpsichord, Every single was a pass chord, So as to go for their fatal reward. Muscular system is a part, Nervous system is an art, Skeleton system is again a handcraft, Things matters on the beauty of the heart. Showing kindness and sympathy, You become a man of empathy, This leads to be healthy and wealthy, Where as it makes your life lengthy. Dummy body is human, Love and kindness within it is the humane, decide and alter your membrane, Before you reach the torture of the hurricane.
Naomi and her family departed from Bethleham Judah the land of milk and honey in the midst of a famine as they were unable to earn any money so on to the region of Moab they ventured and prospered to some degree until Naomi lost her husband and both sons and was left alone to grieve to her daughters-in-law she told them both to their families they should go back but one daughter-in-law Ruth refused to let their relationship come under attack she told Naomi I will never leave you nor forsake you I will stay by your side no matter what we have to go through your people will be my people, your God will be my God and wherever you choose to travel you and I will never part with loyalty, love and devotion Ruth needed Naomi in her life in order for her to develop a relationship with our Lord Christ now worshipping God together placing their fate in His hands for this was a divine hook-up that the Lord our God had planned Now Naomi needed Ruth too but was to afraid to admit it as she felt she had been forsaken by the presence of the Holy Spirit but God was in the midst of that relationship from the very start He had destined that Ruth and Naomi would never, ever part for when women worship God great relationships are made in life with loyalty, love and devotion in the name of Jesus the Christ In the course of your life there will be people whom you need and require to help you to be all that you can be in the way that God desires the clarifiers in your life will help you to see what is your mission the collaborators in your life will encourage you to come to a decision the confronters in your life will nag you and stay in your face while the comforters in your life if they're of God will help you find your place then the celebrators in your life will help you to rejoice in your victory with the spirit of love, devotion and a godly loyalty Now Ruth went on to get remarried but kept Naomi as a member of her household for their relationship was a divine hook-up that was under God's control for when women worship God great relationships last an eternity Naomi and Ruth a divine hook-up of love, devotion and loyalty
I am a Muslim, I'm not a "terrorist". How can I be a terrorist when I'm against all kinds of injustice. I'm against every act of sin and evil. I hate all kinds of crime and even loathe what Adolf did to the innocent Jewish people. I hate what God hates; He (Allah) hates oppression. I'm against stealing, against taking away people's loved ones and belongings for no reason. I'm against suicide bombings, against racism, against ignorance, against self-harm and even derision. What God hates I hate and God (Allah) hates oppression. I hate it too when people fight for foolish nationalistic reasons. I'm a Muslim; I follow the true religion of mercy from Allah the Most Merciful Who simply wants us to answer His Call to believe in Just One -Just One God of all. So don't call me a "terrorist" when I clearly don't have a 'mass destruction' weapon and my goal in life is to be with our God (Allah) in Heaven.
No matter what I do, I know someday again I will find you. This love I have feels true. I pray I can someday always be with you. No matter what I do, I believe my love will carry me through to you.
Don't say it's all over (cause it's not) "Sorry" won't cover it…so don't go on your knees and pray for my forgiveness Oh baby…don't listen to the commotion…I'm done taking cover (it's all for naught) I'm plummeting in slow motion…into the remorseful pit…I'm plummeting in my nightmare's abyss I want to carry you through the night… I'm swimming in the ocean of my tears… My sodden wings lost its ability of flight… You've been swimming in your distress for years… Shut up! Don't say it... Don't even think of it (don't even ponder it) Hey! Don't say it's all over…though we're breaking bit by bit 'Cause there's more treasure to discover I want to remind you to fight the good fight… My misery pools are brewing inside of my head… I'm backing away from the light & exploring the night… You're giving in to sleep and I'm wide awake on my bed Shut up! Don't say it... Don't even think of it (don't even ponder it) Hey! Don't say it's all over…though we're breaking bit by bit 'Cause there's more treasure to discover Please don't tell me…oh, don't tell me…darling! You're giving up today… (I beg you to stay, despite your inner pain) I'm scared I might erupt – it could be quite startling! Someday, things will change for the better… (Don't turn the wrong lane) I'm waiting for that day to arrive – perhaps it will wash away our dismay… I promise you a tranquil reality I want to stray with you tonight I still have hope that He'll set us free I was wondering if you could stay the night Maybe the Lord could grant us Pure, incredible delight Shut up! Don't say it... Don't even think of it (don't even ponder it) Hey! Don't say it's all over…though we've plunged into our own pit 'Cause there's more treasure to gather…
I have fallen victim so many times To nobody's fault except only mine. I will ask for forgiveness and have faith, Even though I feel like I am not saved.
Every second we're away, We grow stronger everyday Until that day will finally come When we know it's okay And we will rest in each other's arms In peace from God above, No longer missing one another Because we're together; Built forever in each other's love.
What Jesus Did for Me! Someone asked; "what did Jesus do for you?" I answered; "he came and made my life brand new!" I cried many nights in a hopeless situation. I was lost and confused, with no explanation. I was lost and trapped… With no way out. I thought; "Is this what life is all about?" After many nights in hopeless confusion… I realized that much of what I tried, was an illusion. An illusion filled with broken promises and dreams. I was at the end of life's rope… And tried everything! The satisfaction I was seeking, was there no more. I begin to wonder if life was worth living for. But then, a voice spoke to my heart, very sincere! And soon, the dark clouds of life began to disappear! This voice, I knew, must have been from God above. He spoke to my heart words of comfort and love! I decided to give Jesus my heart, my life and soul. He brought a true happiness that made me whole! That day…. He began to totally change my life around! A glorious and wonderful friend, I have found! I praise him and bless him! For what he's done for me! He came, and has given me life abundantly! What he's done for me, He can do for you! Won't you reach out to him? He's reaching out to YOU! By the power of his love… You can be forever changed! You can find anything you need… In his precious name! By Jim Pemberton 04/27/14 \
Just When It Seems Like Life Is Overwhelming! Just when it seems like I've faced my darkest night… And things in life, aren't turning out right… This is about the time, when things are falling apart! And I began to feel a lot of stress in my heart! I run to Jesus! I know that he wants to help me! He's always here! And promises to never leave me! He sees me, and speaks words of comfort, to follow! He reminds me, that he'll take care of today and tomorrow! He lets me know that he won't let go of my hand! Everything I'm going through… He understands! He turns back all of the problems that are overwhelming! And I see what things my life, are becoming! I have fellowship with Jesus! Like I never had before! He's given to me peace and hope! And much more! I'm glad I have such a wonderful friend like this! His love and joy… I don't want to miss! Thank you Jesus! For turning my life around! And for plating my life on a solid ground! You're all I want! And all that I've needed! With you as my Lord! My life has been completed! By Jim Pemberton
Stuck in the prison of my own life, I dodge behind these walls I built. And inside is a demon covered in guilt And shame so thick you can't see his eyes. God, please help me to see No matter what, You will always love and be with me. Thank You Father for everything. In Jesus' Name, We pray. Amen.
The Fear of the Lord Brings Wisdom! The fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom. This is a helpful key to enter his kingdom! This encourages a reverence for his holy name! Having God's wisdom, can spare us, so much shame! God loves and cares for us! And listens when we pray! Through his son Jesus, his love has been displayed! He's given to us his word, as a way to remind us… We may get lost… But God's love will find us! Having a Godly fear, will nourish the soul! Having his wisdom will help make us whole! Won't you seek the Lord? While he may be found? He can pick you up, when you feel you're losing ground! Come one and all! All of heaven does proclaim… Anything you need… You can find in Jesus' name! Please, dear lord, bring your presence and love! And guide us with your wisdom and spirit from above! By Jim Pemberton
I picked up a penny face-down, But I don't believe in luck. Everything happens for a reason; God's mercy frees the stuck. Redeem me, Heavenly Father; Please, I know the wrong I've done. Thank You for dying for me; My sins You have overcome!
You spoiled me with gifts You always helped me out You said you'd always be there You were all I was about I eventually let my walls down I finally let you in It only lasted 2 months I'm not gonna let u win You tricked and deceived me Everything was all just a lie Other girls you did see Your bulls**t I did buy But I learned real quick I finally caught on I kicked you to the curb And now your f**king gone I'm a great, loving person You obviously could not see Your not gonna bring me down Your just another faded memory So be a cocky, selfish, dick And chase after tail Tell all your bulls**t lies Cause at life you will fail Cause when your old n gray And there's no more drama A lonely, sad life you'll lead So haha F**k You, that's karma
Many Are Confused About Their Sexual Identity! There's many who are confused about their sexual identity. They're really not sure how to "fit in" with their society. The Bible encourages a sexual purity that God can find. It warns us all about what we allow to enter our mind! It tells us that only Jesus can heal us of our past. Only he can give a true freedom that will always last! If it's an identity situation, that seems to confuse you… Come to Jesus! And allow him to wrap his arms around you! He made you according to his will! You're special to him! He's here to help you! In any way he can! True identification comes from Christ' death and resurrection! Through Christ, can you have a God and man reconciliation! Please come, and identity yourself as a sinner needing forgiveness. Won't you experience Jesus blood and his true righteousness? To truly live is Christ. To die is to gain! Come! And be changed by the power of HIS name! By Jim Pemberton
My Church Forgot Me… But Jesus Found Me! My first visit to church… I pulled up in my car. I noticed a sign; "we welcome you as you are!" I thought; "how do I come, if I'm not who I am?" I walked to the front door, and shook the usher's hand. I was later introduced as a visitation guest. The church seemed to rather "happy and blessed." As many of the people prayed and sang some songs. I went each Sunday and seemed to get along. Something happened and I couldn't make it on Sunday. Nor could I make to the classes each Wednesday. No one ever called to ask if I was doing o.k. I even left a message and asked the church to pray. As the weeks went by, it seemed like I was forgotten. My whole life came "crashing down," and hit bottom. It was in these moments, I cried out in pain. Wondering if anyone in heaven knew my name. A close relationship with Christ began to grow. God reached down from heaven knew my name. A close relationship with Christ began to grow. He reached down from heaven and healed my soul! A relationship with Christ is the most important thing. God is bigger than any church and cam do anything! If a church has forgotten you, let me give you a reminder. Christ is all you'll need! He's your provider! He can do what no church could ever do! He'll always be your friend, and will never leave you! By Jim Pemberton
You are in my heart wherever I go; You I will never let go. You are with me always; You I am always. This is love. Build by God above, This is love.
Stand up and shake; Feel the rhythm in your heart. Ignite those pants; We get up and dance. God on our mind, Eternity in our souls; Feel the chills of those bones. It's the hope. Open those closed doors: Into Heaven we go, Welcomed and forgiven. Here is the love; Let's dance!
I have some choices to face, But these are not my decisions to make. God told me what He wants me to do; He said, "Listen, Son, I have a plan for you."
Are You Ready to Meet Jesus? One day soon, there'll be A meeting In the air! God's people will gather, from everywhere! Jesus will return,, for you and me! He wants to take us all! For eternity! People will be there! Both young and old! Being with Jesus forever! On streets paved with gold! When he comes, no one knows! When he does, may we be ready to go! Live you life, as if He came right now! One day, before him, Every knee shall bow! May we live a Godly life, in everything! As we look forward to, the return of the king! By Jim Pemberton
It's not the same without you; The days are rainy and the nights are blue. My heart is crying and God is too, But we are smiling, waiting here for you.
We're Just Sinful Human Beings! All of us are just sinful human beings! Scripture says; "the heart is sinful above everything!" Even if we try to hide and wash our sins away… Wickedness in our heart, is there, each day! God made Adam and Eve, with perfection! But sin crept in, like a deep and wicked infection! He put them in the Garden of Eden with a choice. It was up to them to listen to his voice. They had all they could want, with one instruction. Disobeying this, would lead to their destruction. Satan took the form of a snake to tempt their mind. And their disobedience affected all of mankind! Since that time, mankind has needed atonement! Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse you! This very moment! Only his blood can wash away sin's dark stain! It can only be found when one calls on Jesus' name! We've all sinned and fallen short of God's glory! But wait! This doesn't have to be the end of the story! God and all of his angels in heaven, are waiting for YOU! The love and blood of Jesus, can make you BRAND NEW! His love, for our sins, is what he offers in exchange! You can be forgiven! And forever totally changed! This opportunity is for you, to reach out and take! Won't you do it now? For eternity's sake??? By Jim Pemberton
The Icy Wall Let me hold your right hand. Let me hold your left hand. Let me hold you close. I want to touch every wound. I want to close every scar. I want to hear every emotion. Can I see every memory? Can I see every expression? Can I see every thing that is you? You opened me up and made me once more vulnerable. I want to hold not just you, but I want to hold your heart as well. I may not be perfect but I'm perfectly imperfect. Let me hold you. I want to hear every emotion. Can I see everything that is you? Tell me everything honestly, and I will be honest with you.
You wake me up with Your endless light So beautiful in shining, so bold, so bright! You paint the landscapes and let Your love shine For the whole world to see, to feel Your gorgeous life!
May We Speak the Goodness of God! I heard a Christian speak... Oh, the kinds of words he was using! Perhaps, to him, it was "entertaining and amusing." I couldn't believe the profanity and cursing that came out! Is this what the purpose of our life is all about? The bible says; "we speak out of the abundance of our heart." We need to think of what we say! Before we start! God knows that many of us stumble along the way. We have said things that later, we knew, we shouldn't say! If we're going to continually speak ungodly things. We need to think about what, to our life, this really brings! Think about the influence, we have on our kids! They listen to what we speak! And how we live! May the Holy Spirit bring power and conviction! And help us to say that which brings edification! May the word of God enrich our body and soul! May it help us speak that which is good, honorable and whole! May we seek to daily bring honor to Jesus! In what we do! May this be a commitment both for me and you! Jesus is worthy of our lips, bringing him glory and praise! Let's seek to bless him! During our remaining days! Please Jesus, anoint our tongues with your cleansing fire! May we speak the things of God, as our passion and desire! By Jim Pemberton
A feeling that I knew too well; With every word you spoke I fell- Falling deeper into the bliss; Longing for your every kiss. Without you here my heart grows fonder; Around the park I start to wander- And think about how you make me feel- The longing starting to become surreal. Giving meaning to my life, You lift me up from pain and strife. I thought it was a feeling that I knew- But with your guidance the passion grew. Spiraling up with every touch- Never wanting to leave your clutch. Waiting for your familiar glance- Missing you with every chance.
A Paris Love Affair - MONSIEUR L'VAMPYRE I must confess to nights of indiscreet but Madam, my intent was having fun, and now your eyes tell me, as sure they meet, what you desire is more than love has done; does not your heart lean to a burning flame as much as what your life's accustomed to? For any fool to play this losing game, they've got to need the bite as much as you; and so you choose to look so very deep to raise the heat in me, and make me know that what you want's a love you will not keep more than a night or two--and then you go. What is it you desire? I must submit, or all my life I'll be regretting it! © ron wilson aka vee bdosa the doylestown poet
Naked, embrace Entwined, as one Two hearts, beating in time One rhythm
What is it to me that I cannot place you in the picture painted by the years the life has already spent? Do you merely lurk, and leave at a much later time? Or, maybe you are staying because you are meant to stay. Then, stay. If you may. I pray. While I find a place (for us) in the picture of eternities, the gods must be hiding, conspiring; themselves amusing. Ah, the grand scheme of things - a forgetting. A familiar spirit we feel - a remembering. (Note) This piece was inspiredly written for the beautiful souls - even the strangers - I have met along the way and will still come upon in my lifetime. To each special one, you have stirred quite a familiar spirit within. A remembrance of forgotten past, I suppose. Thank you for letting me peak through your soul's window. The veil of forgetfulness has never been thin as now to me. You have so given me a gift I shall treasure in the moments I may tend to forget who I truly am - a being with a soul.
One day at a time With the delusion of anger, falling from my eyes, The veil of bitterness, Torn from the one I despised, My heart withers in my chest The spell that cast a shadow on this beauties shimmering frame That hid a wonder a mystery this woman bearing my name. I cannot believe I've lived alongside you for so long And missed the chorus of a lover's refrain. We like strangers in the night Ships passing by on a foggy sea, Have rediscovered each other again, Fearful yet wanting, the task ahead daunting, Forever changed by the crimson stain, Leaving us equipped in ways we can never explain. One day at a time, we live for these moments, One day at a time, is all we are given, And by the grace of God our one day at a time will turn into memories That we will share over a lifetime.
What Shall I Do? For the One Who Gave So Much? What shall I do? For the one who gave so much? God reached down, and blessed me, with his touch! What shall I do? To my lord who bled and died? It was for my life, that Jesus was crucified! What shall I do? To the God who truly loves me? He has made it know that he wants to be with me! What shall I do? For the many who've "lost their way?" Please dear Jesus… Give me the right words to say! What shall I do? As my way of, expressing my gratitude? May God help me to have a Christ' like attitude! What will YOU do? In this time that God's given to you? He's here right now! And is patiently waiting for you! What will YOU do? Will you give God a chance ? Won't you accept his salvation? Whatever the circumstance? What Christ will do… Is to do, what he does best! Simply give him your life! He'll take care of the rest! What Christ has done…. Is to give life everlasting! Everything you need… Is right here, for the asking! By Jim Pemberton
Hood fellow, pull her hair like I do the trigger Plenty of cash, don't care if she's a gold-digger She broke-up with her ex and got me, lost and found Get in bed, take out my pistol, let off a round Shoot her up, shoot her up, bang, bang Blowing on my mic', the best song she ever sang Got flavor, cold with all this ice, like a 'Slurpee' Got something for your chick to drink, she slurps me Definitely ain't praying, but she gets on her knees Her head game is fire, nine-hundred-degrees It's like she's educating me, gives me good brain While she's down there, I pull her hair, like a horse's mane She's a vampire, sucking on the neck of my second head Not the one on my shoulders, but the one used in bed She told me to eat her out, went down and bit it She can't stand violence, but loves the way I hit it Beat the 'Coochie' up, bedroom turned into a boxing arena Call it domestic violence, no court, no subpoena Riding me, I'm thinking 'bout gettin' her a saddle We rocking the boat right now, ain't got a paddle Making a movie, this the best part, 'bout to climax She loves when I come over, got everything her man lacks
The letter stays sealed within the envelope unread and faded Bringing neither hope, nor memories blurred or jaded The day it came I could not know Which destiny the words would hold. Out of fear I refused to break the seal In hopes that neither fate was real Thinking only of the I in me Believing not that Love could ever be Nor trusting simply your love for me Past memories of former hurt stake their claim Haunting wounds, nightmares in the middle of the day. Uncounted years the letter lay Preemptive strike I walked away Hoping the memory that can never un happen of that day Will be less painful than the specter of what might have been had I embraced the gamble of love the day your letter came. And after all these years surprisingly That letter still calls out to me Tho I know now what might have been can never be. I sometimes think what if I was wrong What if the letter told of love grown strong Of two hearts held by one strong bond Perhaps the words spoke tenderly Of Love Of Life And not dear John as I assumed it to be. I will never know if those words are real Because the envelope that contains the letter Remains sealed. Somewhere in my twisted heart I feel That those words unread Can neither harm, nor heal. Which is better? Which is worse? Does truth lie in the ancient verse "Better to have loved and lost than never loved at all" What daysman can ever make that call? Maybe the tragedy that is worse Is to never give your heart a chance to hurt. So now I stand alone and cold Much like the unread letter folded in the envelope. Never throwing it away yet still not reading Dying unwounded Scarred but not bleeding. Knowing full and well that I will never know The message that the letter holds Too afraid to let it go Yet too afraid to ever know I stand alone A prisoner to unread words. Fearing the past and dreading the future Fearful of presumed hurt. Yet I'm frozen And alone A prisoner held hostage by a message I'll never know. A letter Alone In an envelope. Unopened.
Jesus Is the Best Thing That Happened to Me! Jesus is the best thing that happened to me! He loves me so much! It's plain to see! Jesus has provided everything I need, to get tough! If it wasn't for him… I don't know what I'd do! Jesus has come, that I might life so abundantly! He's given me all I need… Most assuredly! He does for me, what nothing in this world, could ever do! And completely understands, everything I go through! He brings his peace, hope and a blessed satisfaction! I can have fellowship with him! A "heavenly interaction!" He can restore what the enemy has stolen and taken away! He brings a true meaning! And has changed me today! I'm very thankful! For all that he's provided! I'm going to live for him! This has already been decided! Thank you Jesus! My lord and my best friend! You've done so much for me! Over and over again! I praise your name! And want you to know… I'll tell others of your goodness… Wherever I go! By Jim Pemberton
To be absolutely certain To be firmly convicted in principle and belief Is the scariest feeling of all But, like all feelings, it never lasts The conviction stays, but the mind wanders Deep into the zones of ostensible comfort Where it rests merely to frenzy Into the streets of opposition Straight into the absolute wrong But the feeling never lasts It returns to the minute certainty The mind becomes determined in the conviction it has embraced And the best feeling rises above the initial fear: Gratefulness 6-29-13
How Alone Am I How Sad Am I You never Know I never Show You Smile WIth A Shine I Smile with Wine Your Enthralling Eyes Defines My Style Missing you is my life Yes I live, but I strife Finding you beneath the stars Misng You my life chars.
As we walk like children holding hands , swinging our arms together as we walked slowly through the blanket of the Autumn leaves. The path we walk is as it were never ending .The tall forest trees that lined each side , appeared to funnel off to the distant open sky . Sun now setting leaving a Orange sky that blended with the leaves all about us . That cool evening breeze upon our glowing faces . The whisper of the trees as they swayed in the wind , but the loudest sound of it all was the beating of our hearts . No it was not just the chill of the wind that made our faces glow , it was the love in our hearts that showed. Yes we were children for that moment , full of innocents of a love so pure at heart, a love so true , nothing could tear it apart . A love that memories are made of and dreams that come true .There is nothing so good as the love you have for me and I for you. The path we walk that seemed to go on forever , was actually our love through out our lives ,as we travel together through it. TAC

I spit game proper, like a pro-batter, I got the right stroke I work deals, like it's Black-Friday, I'm far from broke I can't help but make the girl proud and gay Want some of my time, like takes, you too gotta' pay Like a hole, she do nothing but dig me I'm like Kurmit the frog, she's miss Piggy She can't leave me alone, like a mother to an infant Like soft soil, I step in her life, leave an imprint I handle her with care, like a fragile antique plate When she express her feelings, I pretend I can relate Never catch me cheatin', I'm a true player I run her, if she's a city, I'm the mayor Your chick left with me, not coming back--runaway You ain't do her right, I took her in like a stray Chicks throwin' me that pussy-cat, do I look like a vet? They call me Super-soaker, the way I get 'em wet My damsels come in pairs, like a set of earings I don't put up with their problems, I ain't a Judge handling hearings Want your chick back, take her, can't get a receipt Funny, how I got you off rhythm, moving to my beat
On the 12th day of kiss-mass my true love sent to me 12 dirty undies 11 socks a stinking 10 shoes a humming 9 shirts for pressing 8 trousers 7 days of take-out boxes 6 flagons of beer 5 D V D's 4 mischievous children 3 dozen wine bottles 2 ex partners and an engagement ring under the tree
An imported imperfection of his delayed conclusion of opinions leaves me restless. I know I may not be the prettiest, I know my body may not be the fittest. However, my heart remains the same, his love pumps blood into my veins. As I start losing mental ability to my brain bleeding heavy quantities, my heart start hemorrhaging. Blood vessels begin tearing up from my emotions, my eyes swelling. His words burn like melting plastic, nonmetallic his compassion is synthetic, as lovers turn platonic. It is hard to comprehend his love presence, when there are no immediate surroundings of his love emotions. His actions are making me feel less of a woman, and very unwanted. His presentation makes me hesitant, from the way his love is presented. He is evil and ever so gentle, but he says he loves me. He does not understand what his action does to my inner emotions. Wretched in sadness marked by misery, embedded in love poverty he does not care how this affects me. This is his way he shows his love for me. Marinating in promises I get his love like an allowance. He says that one day I will be his wife, so I stay in hopes of his change. Again, he tells me he trying so who am I to complain. A mistress of his love I became, I will not be ashamed for his love I pertain. His love I can relate to, his pain I persecute and oppress as he overall abuse. Pharmaceutical kind of love overdosing as a drug, I am his side effect I learned to suppress hold my emotions back. Like if, his words caress. As I stroke his ego, I become humble. My pain is a ritual I know the procedure. Mistress of his love I remain even longer, and I linger.
Written February 24, 2012 One too many times Our love has been unkind To the rigors and chills of the snow The streets they meet Intersecting the heat But the cold will blow without heed To rekindle the flame Must sound quite insane But it's all I have left in this world Yet to feed from the hand Of another's demands Could lead to the start of the fall Ride the wind Wherever it goes Don't ask it questions You don't want to know The wind will carry you home
mama how do i tell you its bad again how the voices are telling me its okay to hurt they want me to fall to fall from the top of buildings and not get up but don't worry mama i plan to shut them up mama how do i explain how the pain has returned all you wanted was me to be better i tried and tried and tried and tried but in the end, the crazy won they drive me crazy to no end i want to make it stop but don't worry mama i have a plan mama i cant tell you how it feels to be sunken to the depths of earth angels are soaring above me but their happy gazes hurt i need this incessant chatter to go to hurt me, to hate me it all feels so real but don't worry mama it wont soon mama i can see the look in your eyes it hurts me too that this is goodbye cant you see this is the only way for the voices to vanish but my body stay goodbye and farewell ill miss you so much but don't cry mama ill be better now
If there is one thing I remember It is what life told Just open your eyes All that glisters may not be gold So who is to blame and whose fault I hold The halo effect, the one in disguise Manifesting deception in front of thy eyes Treat one different because of their look Why read? Judge the cover of the book? But you do read others because they don't have the look If you understand, how long has it took? The halo effect, we magnify a trait Condone the flaws, we magnify a trait Attractiveness, is this what you mean? All this talk, my perception a feign? What I see, aint what it seem? Huh, thanks for this, as well as that. The halo effect, my mind was hacked.
God Is Good! All the Time! God is good! All of the time! I'm so thankful, he's a friend of mine! His goodness reaches beyond the stars! He's always here! Never too far! His goodness reaches, beyond our understanding! And gives life freely! And it's everlasting! His goodness brings comfort, Peace, and hope! And helps me down, life's "slippery slopes!" Please, dear God, May your goodness flow! And bring much needed strength to my soul! Your goodness always strengthens my spirit! Help me to be willing, to freely share it! By Jim Pemberton
Children with an illness, Go through life, They are looked down apon, Because they are different, When really they are not, They are no different from you and me, They have the same blood, Running through their bodies, Just as their hearts as well, So, don't just look apon, Their outer appearance, And judge them, For who they really are, For a lot of them, Are smarter and brighter, Than you and I, Could possibly be, On our brightest day, For they have the gifts, From God up above, So, always take the time, To get to know their inner beauty, For who they really are, Cause they too need love, Just as everyone else does, If not even more.
He says he loves me then he says he loves me not He loves me today but by tomorrow I'm forgot He runs from my love but returns wanting more I guess I'm to blame for letting the traveler explore, See travellers just wander and are never here to stay They admire the scenery and enjoy the display They tour the land and ride the attractions So memories become their only subtractions, They search for an experience that is what they yearn The condition once they leave is none of their concern! So how can the land be devoted and true When travellers come and go out of the blue. The present is now and where he's travelled to, But the past he calls home so he must return soon Most likely just a visit although time can only tell, But what he lusts is in this land and he knows it very well He may call that place home but its this land that he seeks Travellers on a mission never realize until they hit their peek He continues to damage this land down to its core So what's left to offer when their is nothing left in store? The resources were depleted and the land left bare He comes and goes as he pleases it doesn't seem fair; See this land has been abused time and time again Seeds that were planted, were means to an end But pleasure and satisfaction was always accomplished Because this land provided where the homeland was disadvantaged! But despite the history and despite the trust Submit to his urges is something he must. So this time around his departure is permanent Lack of faith and loyalty was the final determinant. The damage he caused cannot be rendered, So his visitation rights he has surrendered! So leave this land I say and never look back This is the path you chose I hope you can stay on track, Cause travellers have memories of the lands they have stained But the land only remembers the one that remained!
My life had become complete the day I met you. I was alone in the hallways and in the cafeteria. I am not alone, I have you. Days and nights pass, the relationship grows bigger. Our hello's turned in to I love you's. You filled the empty space in my heart. Slowly the relationship drifts apart. The hello's become more distant. What happened to my life? You made new friends and so I became alone. You became popular, but still I am alone. Something had separated us from each other. No more late night talks. No sharing snacks in class. The usual daily routine when you weren't there. A phone call from a familiar number. Not from her, but her parents. She had died from cancer. Tears run down my cheeks. I arrived at her memorial. One last look at her beautiful face. More tears fill my eyes. A note, addressed to me. Something I wish not to forget. "Dear Friend, I have left the earth with nothing more than a lesson learned. I learned to trust. It was you who had changed my life completely. I didn't forget our memories when we were far. Every dream I had been of you. I never really left you, since you still have half my heart. I love you. Thank you so much." That was the end of my life. I learned to trust from her. I never left her either, she always had the other piece of my heart.
Love is an opportunity that comes only ones You love ones,when you mess it up It will never come back to you For one cannot love twice.... Even if you move on It haunts and never stops breaking up makes it worse For it feels like death Get the loose nut, fix it tight Cover every loop hole Repair any visible crack when you still have time For when it is gone It goes like time. Love is a sacred feeling Allergic to cheating The sweetest thing when found Joy and happiness surround But able to turn around Into an ache without a painkiller when you let it wither. keep it fresh like winter Never make it bitter It may loose taste To become a strong hate And bring a bad state. Love commands responsibility To uphold its purity One has to commit without any limit Tolerate no dirty game That may make it lame Keep it true and real Give it a permanent seal That no man can steal It is delicate It is yours to protect.
I am valuable but not worth any price I am precious but far more than gold I am productive but not for abuse I can talk but not to be abused of talking I am hardworking but not to be a slave I am a wife but I am an individual too I am a mother but I'm just human I am strong but I get tired too, I am in flesh, so I need rest I care but I value myselft first and foremost I am kind but need kindness too I listen but not to be lied to I run the house but I deserve to run myself too I am the help meet but I need support too I understand but not to be misunderstood I provide but I need to be provided for too I run the kitchen but I need to run my self too I am the housewife but I am a wife too, I am married, to my husband, not the house! I love but I should not be taken for granted I am weak but not to be raped, beated and scratched I am submissive and obedient but not to be exercised power abuse on I am a cheerful giver but not to be robbed I am soft but not to have my blood squeezed out, I am full of life but not to be taken away from me Yes, I am a woman, Created to live, Not to be a woebegone!
I lay, dripping, soaked within a dark sweat, seeing and hearing your soft voice abet. I want to run, to leave this merciless realm, but you pull me closer, without a choice at helm. Get out of my dreams. I miss you, but I hate you, every last memory. You taunt my every being, you're all that I see. I see you in the crowds, or when I'm all alone. You're here and there, on your heartless throne. Why couldn't you stay? Get out of my life. I hear your laughter and see your beautiful smile. Once so beautiful, now helping others with guile. You're now decayed, withering into shallow dust. I loved you so much, and never again will I trust. Get out of my head. Tears I weep, when others aren't around to see – I remember the days, the months and years I bleed. I try to forget, and to hate you and your choices. But all I can hear are these damn forgiving voices. Maybe I am what you proclaim me to be. Was I really that monster, that demon you see? I hate what I love and love what I hate. I try to erase our past, and to claim it our fate. But I can't let go, you're all that I hear and see. I wished you could have loved, that loathsome "me". Get out of my heart.
I sit on the edge of the bed thinking Wishing you were here or that I was there These work related trips keeps me hurting But then my heart, I come to you and share I sit in the middle of a moon beam That comes into the room's hotel window A lonely bit of light, lonely it seems Opens the room to its cool silver glow I pout as I lay onto the hard bed Seemingly to sure keep me up all night I texted her with my whole soul, I sure pled Hoping she's up and will respond tonight It's hard to be away from by loved one But soon I'll be home, my love will be shown Entrant into Black Eyed Susan's "In a Hotel Room..." contest 2/7/2013
Feelings of resentment, I spurred my immaturity, my old man, bestowed his lousy gift of unwanted knowledge. taking from him lessons, ungratefully, these lessons were for life and patience, I saw as he worked the entire world. From basketball grounds, to going to my bedroom, home court advantages all his, sitting on his throne Angers swelling high Embarrassment had I My day would come soon Early years had I that passed, enduring all those moments, feelings disappointments almost every day, I grew numb I, believing for long stints, life does not care for happiness such as mine, and I gazing at the man of the hour every hour like royalty, taking my defeats less like a man, more like a subject would he ever pass the scepter? Spending those moments I appreciated more In the coming years I watched five o'clock shadows, form on the court, his face, our memories, I felt new kinds of sadness to win Getting closer to his score, understanding his game more each day, I panicking, so used to being the loser thought those days would never end, a mentality to fail once more might revive our spirits Mutual respect Changing of the guard had come All so bitter sweet
Jesus, Help Me to Have Good Thoughts! There's thoughts and images Satan plants in my head. I know that he ultimately wants me spiritually dead! He tries to twist the truth into a "false reality." But wants me to end up as a spiritual fatality! There are many crazy dreams that are out there! It's the evil and sinful ones that Satan wants in there! I know this very well! And have failed many times! I know it was wrong… But I didn't commit a crime! But I've taken what God beautifully designed… By allowing ungodly thoughts to enter my mind! I need to allow God's spirit and words to cleanse me! No matter how many things try to distract me! God's word is truth and is always 100% pure! It's the only thing that can make my life secure! Anything else is falso! And a strong delusion! If I allow my life and mind to be filled with pollution! I ask for Jesus' blood and forgiveness to be applied! Anything that I need… God has already supplied! I ask for the Holy Spirit to help and bring about! The cleansing of the filth, in my life throughout! Please dear Jesus, touch and heal me once again! By the renewing of your blood, and taking away my sin! By Jim Pemberton
Why are you so devilishly addicting? I come back from you, It looks like I'm on drugs: High and drunk, Out of my mind. The demons inside us braid hairs Until we're peaceful meadows apart, Nuclear wars together.
Do not allow a volatile relationship ruin your life Written By Dean Masciarelli October 24, 2010 (4:33pm) Do not allow a volatile relationship ruin your life Get out while you can; and listen to what I am saying Before it causes you to go through way to much strife; And a whole hell of a lot of heart break and pain; Just by living with someone who has an evil twin; And even though that part of them; only comes out every now and then; It's far better for you to walk away right now; while you still can; And I know that it is a difficult lesson; to have to learn on your own; But if you do not listen to me right now; some where down the line; you could be the one; who could end up losing your life.
A new day, a new dawn Last year is gone A new hope, a new cheer This year is here The beginning of a new year A time for new starts The beginning of a new year The hope of many hearts When the clock strikes midnight The whole world goes alight When the clock strikes midnight Our spirits take flight With the hope of a new day , a new dawn Because Last year is gone But isn't it a little strange That we think this way Because today is just the same As any another day Every day has a midnight Every day has new light Every day has a dawn And every yesterday is gone Every day can be a new start And every day we can have hope in our hearts So this year live every day with a resolution To make your life a glowing contribution To your family, your friends and to your world So that when the hope of new years is gone Every day will be a new day Every day will have a new dawn And every yesterday will be gone
You were a friend, I couldn't ask for more, Now that we've reached the end, You walked out the door. I know what you don't, You have forgotten. Admit it, (I won't) I think about you so often. I wanted to keep Memories in a jar, So when I sleep Better times wouldn't be so far. Our friendship is gone But the past still lingers, The Sun's rise at dawn Erases times that were better. You were a friend, 'That' I would forget, Times were different then, I wish we never met…
As A Parent, I Want My Kids to Serve God! As a parent, I'm trying the best that I can…. Though there are things that I don't understand! I remember my parents teaching me right and wrong. And taught that God's laws certainly belong! I've tried to share these values with my kids too… The choices they've made, and the things they do! When situations in life, seem to have changed… I know that my heavenly father remains the same! I think about what in life, to my kids, I have given… And pray they'll serve God all the days they're livin'! Even though I've failed and stumbled along the way… I hope I've taught my kids how important it is to pray! This family that God gave to me, has grown over a period of time. I'm thankful for the opportunity to call them "mine." I pray they'll seek God's guidance! Wherever they go! May the word of God strengthen and nourish their soul! And as my kids get older, and they move out on their own… May they seek God's love and protection over their home! I pray that my children will give God their very best! May they serve him daily! And let him take care of the rest! I'm trying my best, as a parent, to trust Jesus and believe! His goodness, in our lives, is what we need to achieve! By Jim Pemberton
Beauty and the Beast As her beauty glistens on the outside, her beast brutalizes and demeans her insides. Belligerent engaged and in war with herself, hostile aggressiveness makes her beast comes out. She desperately cries out, unable to discipline herself. Her beast disassociates and separates her from forming any relationships with anyone else. Her beast slowly takes her dignity and devitalizes her pride. She is weaken and deprived of life. She no longer sees her worth; her eyes tell her story of hurt. Pain as a contributor a well-known donor, love has divorce her. Forsaken entirely abandon since birth, to be truly loved she thirst. Unable to see her beauty runs deep, genuinely shows her generosity that emphasizes her sincere honesty. She garnishes her beastliness while smiling. As her beast is hiding deeply behind her eyes, her glazy stare intensify her happy appearance as a glassy finish. As her beast is frantic, her beauty becomes fraudulent. Her smiles more deceitful her heart grows fragile emotions so gullible. The meaning of love gravels. Beauty and the beast she will forever be, for the love she crave the beast will forever eat. Leaving her dying a unloved sleeping beauty.
Acknowledge beauty Convey delight Enjoy fully
Remove self from a dramatic scene as if it didn't appear. Deaf and dumb it's best to become when it rears its turbulent head. Dramatic scenes unrecognized will soon implode when ignored.

After many drafts and changes than I care to acknowledge...here it is. On the subject matter...simply on FACEBOOK DRAMA !! More info in About this poem. Have a blessed day !! Sijo is the classic form of unrhymed poetry in Korea. Sijo have three long lines. Each line varies between 14 and 16 syllables, with the middle line often the longest. The first line states a theme, the second line counters it, and the third line resolves the poem.
Rob me of my purity, But once again it's all my fault; Fell into the trap of false promises Because I pressed play instead of pause.
In a road of life, Love will pass our way. No matter how far or near, Our journey lead its way. It takes a sign to follow, as we go through our trip. The signal of what must do, when love has end its glitz. Yellow served as a warning sign. That tears and pain will soon abide. A warning for us to be strong. as sun shine will soon aglow. Soon red sign will be lit, A time for us to stop and think. A meanwhile pause to endure the pain, To admit that love has gone away. And green light will be followed. Reminding us to move ahead and life goes on. No matter how painful the wound it caused. The road of life still has purpose. Don't be afraid to love and lost, It's part of a journey in a road we crossed. Just keep in thoughts what matters most, We live and love utmost.
The Petty Posh-Wahzee - Liberation & Ostentation The Not-So Distant Past: The fallen fighters for freedom, are unable to turn in their graves, their battered, fragmented bones, mixed with a handful of torn rags, are all that remain, a mute reminder of their selfless valiant sacrifice. They endured brutal Apartheid harassment, detentions without trial, torture in the cells, and mental anguish when loved ones disappeared, they left their homeland, to continue the struggle against racial bigotry, while countless others fought the scourge of white-minority rule at home. Nelson Mandela and many, many others, spent their lives imprisoned, on islands of stone, and on islands of the cruellest torture, yet they stood, never bowing, never scraping, they stood, firm for ideals for which they were prepared to die, and many, many comrades did die, at the hands of the callous oppressor, and many, many comrades perished in distant lands, torn from their homes, while the struggle continued, for decades, soaked in blood, in tears, in pain. The Present: 19 years have passed, since freedom was secured at the highest of prices, delivering unto us, this present, a gift of emancipation from servitude, a freedom to walk this land, head held high, no longer second-class citizens, in the land of our ancestors, whose voices we hear and need to heed today. I do not care much for fashion, Lewis-Fit-On and Sleeves unSt.-Moron, yet the ostentation that I witness baffles even my unsophisticated palate, our ancestors' plaintive whispers are being dismissed, left unheeded, as we browse the aisles for more and more, always for more and yet more. Asphyxiated by the excess of the Petty Posh-Wahzee, we find ourselves, perched precariously on the edge, of a dissolution of all that is humane, babies go hungry, wives are battered, our elders left in hospitals for hours, I cringe as I scribble these words, perhaps too sanctimonious and preachy, yet I know, deep in the marrow of my brittle bones, I know, I know, I know, this tree of freedom planted by the nameless daughters and sons of Africa, needs to be shielded, nurtured, protected from our very own baser impulses, so that the precious tree of freedom, may bear the fruit that may feed us all, for if not, then we are doomed, to tip over, and into the yawning abyss, we shall fall.
I cannot get into heaven God I have tried! Suicide is a double edge sword Especially when you survive! Walking the streets at night Dazed and confused Longing to be loved Wondering... When is Mum, coming for me? "Does she still love me?" "Does she still care?" "Does she still think of me?" "Does she wonder, where I am?" I want her to come find me I want her to say she 'loves me' I want her to comfort me I want her to take me home And keep me safe And not forget hat I exist Like the way she treats me now I wish God Could make my Mum Magically appear Making this hellish nightmare On the street Disappear! "Send my Mum please!" So, all this can end! Before this last ray of hope Diminishes for good! I don't want to become The walking dead Forever forgotten as if I was never born! For this is the cruel, harsh reality Of living life, feeling unloved Uncared for, abandoned, Left to fend for my own A dangerous killer inside me Eating away, at my soul Something, no one can see As I suffer in silence My insides crippling! Lost, alone and frightened Weeping on a dirty Graffiti park bench Dirty tears Rolling down my cheeks Stuffing newspapers under my jumper To keep myself warm "What am I going to do?" "Will I make it through the night?" "Will I get raped and beaten?" "Will I be left for dead?" "Will I survive To see another day? "Is my life worth living?" Please God, I beg of you Have mercy now Please show me the way!
When trees cry Love dies In your wounded heart At night Among colors of tears I see nothing But your green eyes Your eyes are my soul Your heart is the perfume of my life And you are the lamp of darkness When I meet you! When I hug your virgin soul! This is you! ! Flower of spring The beauty of days Don't leave me alone Be the night covering me Be the love protecting me Be the eyes shutting my dreams Be my life….
Mom warn me of girls like you but I didn't listen, You was out to search and destroy, A sheep with wolf clothing, How did you manage to keep the disguise? Wait I have the answer. I can see how some insecurities, could play a role, Or even perhaps the strain of absent parent could be a factor, Or maybe the guy that was last did you the favor of leave a chain letter, But When I looked in your eyes how could you lie without even blinking, where is the remorse? I can see it now lust to add to a plus of size clothing, Brilliance over arrogance and time portray all, And time heals all, and when I look in the mirror, A better man I am and thoughts to thank her and now I can smile. A man eater indeed, lust before trust was her deed.
4. Each dawn, the cold steps back a pace, And in the lengthening light the tender green steals up Through the retreating ice and snow As the lands rise fresh and free from the deathlike sleep again, To play the full young mother dressed out in life itself, Strolling through the warming, waxing sun. Growth and generation give the lie To the empty time so short before Everything renewed proclaims its exoneration from stasis And beauty runs riot, freed from its long waiting To declare its immortality again. And for he and she love grows anew In the hopes reborn in the spring's thaw The heart's slow healing gathers force with the blooming As they pull the threads of their lives back together, Sewing them closer with trust and forgiveness, Going on again in the thousand-odd ways That make a single life of two. Love trumpets again its smug triumph Through the wakening world, For it too is one of the old, strong forces, The one that holds together what would fain break itself apart To its own rack and ruin; The ultimate surgeon, Healing with slow steely cuts Cauterizing the strangely sweet wells of pain With unquenchable fire That burns, Promethean.
Send me to the darkest places; That's where I feel You strongest. A kiss and hug down the deepest alleys; Never letting go, Your love is the strongest.
Faith is not failing me, I am failing Him. Why do I refuse to accept His grace? Why would I rather live my life on my own When He is extending a helping a hand? I am depressed, Dead on my own, But I am alive in Him! I give my life to Him for real; I give Him my all, And now I'm alive Because He gives me life!
Are you trying to win my heart? Go ahead take anything on a cart.. Each and every part.. Will have a function to impart.. So with yours.. Time to time your actions pour.. I don't mind to take a detour.. All wants to do and take feature.. So much makes me feel.. I don't bother for you here.. I don't mind for you are dear.. I don't want neither to scare or fear.. For I believe with you I'm rich.. Not of dangling like diamonds.. But with an affection, You cheerly clear.. More than companion, more than peer.. I want to warmly hug you.. Taking away any of your blues.. Minutes and hours our bodies glued.. Of passion not they judge rude.. I will soon be way to decide.. Determine to choose, what to take aside.. I hope I don't need to divide.. For I trust, God will abide.. Will I see you from a distance? I wish so for an instance.. I don't like any finance.. All I treasure is what's us - a lifetime chance...

Turn on the love to motivate me; There's no energy on hand. When work to be done is shadowed by rest, Remember you were saved by a crucified man.
Do you hear the train a'whistlin'? I wonder where she's a'goin'. Can she be boundin' toward freedom? Well, there's freedom in Jesus! And that's all we need!
Well....... Here we are , we have finally reached that day, When you and I would finally be parting our ways , I believe little brother it has come way to soon , Aways thought it would be me and it turned out to be you. This is something that we could have nevber known, Just never doubted it would be me that was first to go. Forget all your troubles and all the reason's why , And all the times we had when you were alive. Saying our goodbyes for the very last time , Makes it hard for me to hold back the tears in my eyes. Soar with the wings that were made from your Dreams, Say goodbye to your worries and troubles just enjoy being. When you get there open your eyes will you please, And when you get there will you hug Mama for me. My thoughts will be with you for the rest of my days, I will always stand tall please hear what I say . When you get there. Tac.

Our Ancestors fought to the death, Just so we can live a brighter day, So before you light up that blunt of meth, Think about what you're giving away, It was a glad day in history when Obama rose to victory, The first black president was all we knew, Dark skin is in! Haven't you heard? That even in our community, You can get burned, It's a sad day when people would rather stay home and "Crank That Amber Cole", Than get up and run to a poll, In our community, Rockin' Luis V is better than having a college degree, And teen pregnancy is not only a trend, But the single motherhood that follows should end, Young girls learn of a wonderful prince to take them away, Nothing should change thought their mothers prince didn't stay, And as the tears fade away, She grows stronger every day, In our community, Fighting is no longer a word, You argue with someone and shots are heard, Girls showing places the sun don't show, So how do they expect the community to grow? Where love is a figment of imagination, Making a young child question her creation, Young mothers would rather buy the iPhone 5, Then satisfy her baby's cries, While her new man's eye, Wander up another girl's thighs, In our community, Where #team dark skin vs #team light skin, Makes others not love the skin they're in, Love, lust, hate, and trust, Giving a rose on Valentine's Day is no longer a must, Where bad is good and good is bad, Who would think to see their grandmother sad? Her hurt and pain, Shows how our community has lost everything her parents fought to gain.
Her hands shook as they wheeled him away. Had his lips been dry? Had his body ached? Had he longed for a touch against his fragile skin? Could she have done more to relieve his pain? Could she have loved him more, needed him more, begged him more to stay? Her head swam in the deafening silence of guilt and sorrow as she buried herself for feeling relief.
2, Bourne loosely through the chill gusts, Disordered fragments of summer's life go hurried by, Harried to their last resting places Into piles of brittle, browning drifts Scattered on the stiffening ground. A cold sun, coursing ever more briefly Across these hard, blue-white skies, Presides above a sleeping landscape steeped in dying hues, The last fanfare of the greens of life Draining now into starkness As nature sheds her flesh and slows To pose in cold stillness between her cycles Of life and death, Waiting, as winter's uncertain, barren bride. In the house where the anger rang against the walls The red thoughts of their minds have burnt away To leave behind that sour feeling That sinks to sorrow Now that pride has stepped in to break the bridges Of charity they might have built back to one another. Between them those virtues which bind us all together, The formalities and incidents The long parade of small things that make up a shared life, Go on together as always, in smooth procession day to day The image of harmony exists, Though not its substance. They know from this the weight of the awkward silences Falling between them now and again Dropping like stones into the deepening pools Of unspoken discontents forming in their hearts; The ripples of sadness climbing in widening rings To skim the surfaces of their speech As the breezes blown down through the sapphire sky Tear the detritus of summer's corpse from its enfeebled moorings And fling the bits of yesterday's blazing beauty Into pell-mell drifts against foundations and sills, As spark-scattered frosts gather more thickly With every lengthening night.
For many years... My life has been an embarrassment! Filled with hopelessness and discouragement! Many things I thought I had enjoyed... Have left in me... A large and empty void! Many nights, I would cry myself to sleep. Knowing the hole my life was in, was very, very deep. Then one day, I called out to God! I wasn't sure if he'd listen! My family, my old church, I was now missin'. My family prayed for me for so many years. I often brought them embarrassment and tears. God... I tried everything else... I want to come back to you! I need you now Jesus! I really do! Please come into my heart, and cleanse me within! Set me free from all addictions and sin! I know that you will never let go of my hand. My whole life, on your word, I shall now stand. Only you can satisfy the emptiness in my soul! I am now complete, satisfied, and made whole! By Jim Pemberton
There's a family I know, that may seem old fashioned. But they serve others from a heart of compassion! They don't have much in the scope of entertainment. But they have each other, and much contentment. They have a love for God that comes from within! And are thankful to the Lord for being their friend! They don't get too involved with that the world brings. They have each others love. They have everything! This family has been an inspiration to others too! By their giving hearts, in much of what they do! This family has a commitment to serve God above. And have asked Jesus to fill them with his love! This may seem old fashioned, not to have a lot of things… But they know their Lord and the love that he brings! I'm thankful to know them and their Godly inspiration… I extend to them a heart of thanks and appreciation! Please dear Lord, bless and keep them in your arms! Be with them Jesus, and protect them from harm! May the blessings of God keep flowing through them! And may the peace and joy of God continue to be with them! By Jim Pemberton 05/29/13
Jesus Will NEVER Fail You! There's a message Jesus wants to tell you! He's faithful! And will NEVER fail you! He's here to help you! And will be there to the end... He's someone that you can always depend! He's powerful and omnipotent! He reigns supreme! He's the Lord God! And can do ANYTHING! His sweet peace and hope make it very clear… Whatever trial you face… He is always near! He'll never let you down! You can trust him! Won't you come now and accept him? Those who trust in him, will never be disappointed! He's the holy one! God's anointed! May we reach out and receive the life he gives… And ask for his blood to cleanse and forgive! Let's bless his name and lift it high! Look up! Our redemption draws nigh! We need Jesus to come and fill us today! May we listen to him… And trust and obey! His salvation brings hope, and healing within! May we accept him, as our Lord and friend! By Jim Pemberton 06/22/14
A lot says they like me A lot says they want me A lot dares to need me A lot dares to love me But, who can I trust? To whom can I entrust? I permitted love thrice Perhaps, these made me despice Most men alike and entice Intentions appear bad not nice I never fear this so called sex How these persons put in context Sex - a physical expression of love If love or just lust, comes my doubt How I want to share that feeling Fast heartbeats and ragged breathing Climax or pleasure unending Whole night til dawn sleeping I am on a careful guard Even If my body retards Or it will be a little hard Don't even care if long ward As this can wait this can wait by: olive_eloi 9:42am 01/20/2014 -------------------»»»»
Perhaps you feel like your life is "spiraling down" It's as if everything's come "crashing to the ground" Is your lie filled with A lot of apprehension? Just living day by bay with a lot of tension? Maybe you're at a "low point" and very "distraught." In life's circumstances… you feel trapped and caught. If you feel confused… Like you're in a "trance…" God's word says to TRUST HIM, in every circumstance! God's here to pick you up,\ when you stumble! He's always do it, And never grumble! If life's dealt you a bad hand, don't try name it! Jesus loves you so much! It's hard to explain it! All of heaven invites you to Invite Jesus as your lord! An eternal life with him, can be your great reward! By Jim Pemberton
I've waited all my life, For a love like yours and to call you my wife, To have and to hold, I know you fit the mold, The key that fits perfectly into my heart, The assurance that we will never grow apart, Through thick and thin, No matter what, we both win, There's no doubt in my mind, No second thoughts of any kind, That I love you, And knowing that, I say, "I do." I've always wanted to find my prince, He has no idea he is dropping me hints, And all his hints, I adore, I've never felt anything like this before, His warm, comforting touch, I trust in him so very much, I need him more then he could know, I will never let him go, Through good times and bad, When I'm happy and when I'm sad, He'll always be there, Through all the hardships that we bare, I know he'll never back down, And will pick up every pound, That I can not, We've already been through a lot, Our relationship can never be misconstrued, And with that sureness, I say, "I do." And now that we are one, Here comes all the fun, Of our Holy Matrimony, Proving our relationship was never phony, We are reborn as of now, And when seen by the eyes of God, our heads bow, With His blessing, both of us are starting anew, And all that had to cross our lips was, "I do."
I Want to Give God My Best! I want to give to God my very best. And let him take care of the rest! I want to give God a life of imperfection… And seek his will, whatever the direction! I want to follow the footsteps of the master… As things in life have a way of "going faster!" I want to let God know much I love him! And each day, I want to obey and trust him! I want to take the time to invite you to know him! Won't you come now? And kneel down before him? God extends to everyone a heavenly invitation! All who wants to, can accept his mercy and salvation! I want to praise him for what he's done for me! He's done all of this, because he loves me! I just want to let you know how much we need him! Won't you join me now… And believe him? By Jim Pemberton 10/17/13

In this wretched and dark place, it's the only world I can show my face. Ashamed of my love, A past full of disgrace. And yet all I want is to see your face. But it's something I've longed to erase. Why do I love you so? These crazy feelings they need to go. You have my heart racing like i need to show, my love for you but I just really don't know how I love you so. It's been a long wild trip, but this I must rip. And thats you from my heart Yea that'd be a better start. But here comes that thing again you make me want to sing and then You see right through me do you know what you do to me All these things I've done you see Fueling my insanity. Make me want to fall apart, Spill knowledge from this broken heart. All I ever wanted was to be set free, Can you really not see all of what you've done to me?
Where Will I Be Tomorrow? Where will I be tomorrow? That's my question! I continue traveling on… Seeking my life's "mission." There are many roads, and journeys to go on. I'm trying to find out, where I really belong. There are many choices of what to do and see… There's both good and bad waiting for me! But, there is a God who called out my name. When I heard his voice... To him, I came! He gave me a promise! A 100% guarantee! He promised to forgive my sins, that I may be free! I will spend today and tomorrow with him! I'm going to take time, and get to know him! I'm here today! I don't know what tomorrow will bring! But I can trust Jesus! To take care of everything! Where will I go? I know where I will be! Spending time with my Lord! For eternity! By Jim Pemberton
Heart... I feel you beating thready and weak.. I feel you murmuring me to stop.. I feel you throbbing softly aghast.. Heart... Why did we trust and give in so fast? We should have guessed things doesn't last.. We should have been careful for things casts.. Heart... Will you get some more little rest.. So long, I do not like you again be on test.. I do not like you more on mess... Heart... Follow me, I'm above you.. I know which one is better for you.. I learned from past and present blues.. Indeed, I'm knowledgeable enough for the cues.. Heart.. I speak kindly to you.. Kindly mind me once.. This the mind pleading and speaking... By: olive_eloi sept. 16, 2013 4:48pm
I Did Something That You Won't Let Me Forget! I did something recently, that I regret. What it was. You won't let me forget! I said; "I'm sorry." And tried to explain it! But what I've done, you continue to name it. You called me your friend, and offered assistance... But any attempts to talk, you offer resistance. I heard you before. You quoted Bible verses. Now you speak complaints and curses! It seems like whatever I do or what I say. You just wish, "I would go away!" Where is God's love, you once gave me? Are you the kind of person, God wants you to be? I'm sorry of what I said and what I did. I hope you find the power to forgive! I've done my part. And that's all I can do. Now is your turn! The rest is up to YOU! You can love me, or simply push me aside! You can humble yourself, or be filled with pride! The choices and decisions you make... Please do it now! Before it's too late! I pray that God's love, will touch your soul! Walk in his forgiveness! And BE MADE WHOLE! By Jim Pemberton
The blood of Jesus still sets men free! So we can live with him… For eternity! The power of Jesus and his resurrection… Brings his presence and a holy conviction! The love of Jesus brings sweet relief! May his way of living be our belief! The glory of Jesus outshines the rest! Whatever he gives, is always the BEST! The words of Jesus give much needed direction! It sustains our lives and gives godly correction! The voice of Jesus speaks to everyone today! May we listen to what he has to say? He beckons one and all to receive his salvation! He's already called, and given the invitation! His blood can wash and cleanse every stain! You can find it all… In the power of HIS NAME!

The thought of her smiling gave me faith From when we were little we bathe My mother and her mother is best friends They both took care of us and gifts they send We pulled each others hair And she was always quick to dare When I smiled at her she knew it was no good She learned to pull me up and she understood I just wanted her attention and that she gave She knew it in her heart love was my slave From when we were a child with full of energy I had my way She was the one who was my guide and she did not push me away When I saw her cry one day and her eyes was so sad I gave her a flower and I smiled at her and made her glad When some one special leaves her heart I sat by her and never wanted to depart She is the love of my life always She is the one who gave me my hope through out my days So I gave her my heart and love from within And I did not make it thin I stood by her side since I was a child I gave her my support when we were wild She knew who I was and I let her go the distance I did not hate her or give her resistance My mother and her mother are great friends and their virtue will never end Because of their love they both trusted us to live our ways to transcend So my childhood friend was my best friend, and now my wife She new it from the start that we part of each others life
Sisterhood, brotherhood is a state To be seriously worked at. It is hard, and Needs lots of grace more powerful than us. Love is God's grace He gave on the Cross. Only such love can take us to love another. It is so powerful it can overcome our dark self. When we have this love, our soul will be fed; Stronger even amidst troubles others cast upon us And still look at them with deep love and concern. With this love in us, we are able to forgive first; Rather than judge hastily and throw a stone So that retribution and justice will be done. We will be secure in our inadequacies; Gentler to ourselves and more so with others For now we know we are no better than them. We trust no longer in our capacity to love; Rather abandon our ego and let this grace Flow and free us from our fears and unbelief. 8.21.14
Jump up and down like a jackrabbit running through meadows running from what? Could it be heartbreak, a venemous snake that hides in the grass, hiding with fangs ready to pierce the tender skin upon the tight, bronze flesh of everyday life? Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye now! I need a vacation a long way away from the faceless smiles and ignorance of young girls, who don't look at you, who don't show you love and respect. Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye now, as jumping spiders hop everywhere, crawling eight legs around me my soul black like carcoal, but my heart still beating slower this time, not like the days before and like the jackrabbit running from anything and everything, I run to seek love and vanish away from the empty voids that people call, their souls. Recording a film with no tape, talking to a woman you love, but not having the guts to tell her how you really feel Jump my boy, like a jackrabbit, take my advice tell her before she leaves turns down the endless avenues of endless dark love the trees grow taller, taller than you and you sit there feeling away yourself die, missing out in life. I cannot see you lose your love. Say it, say it, Say it!!! Tell her! Tell her! Build the guts up! Build up the courage, tell her how you feel. Take her by the hand and never say goodbye! Never say goodnight, stay with her till the flight comes in the morning of the first rays of sun shine through your dorm room take her and love her! Do not be like me, the jackrabbit! I see no happiness Reading poetry it makes me sad, to write of others falling in love and I never finding the one. People tell me, you'll find yours, have hope but I am a frightened little jackrabbit who flees from sounds of deep emotions, not having courage to fall in love, not building the guts up to tell her how I really feel. She walks alone, I find my oppertunity and sing my love song She smiles and moves on, please tell me I cannot fight anymore. All I have to say is Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye I need a vacation to go to some sandy beach on an island of love and write and write and write, the same poetry that depresses me but makes you all fall in love with words! Fiction about love stories, please kiss me Blue eyed death comes, plays a game of chess with me I bet twenty, he bets my soul Kiss me death, the only love I'll ever get, besides my poet friends who kiss my ass Listen to my heart, truely, I don't write of beauty I write for the sorrow soul, the fleeing jackrabbit running away from love.....
After long day`s play with doves ,they fly in the light Let`s rest in the love
Jesus Chose Me to Follow Him! Jesus chose me to follow him! And called me to be; "a fisher of men!" He's given me his Holy Spirit, for needed assistance. He wants me to reach the lost, with a Godly persistence! Others need to know of the forgiveness he brings! They need to know that he can do anything! They can be transformed, by his resurrection power! This can happen to anyone! This very hour! Please help me dear Lord, to do my very best! I want to do my part! And let you take care of the rest! It's only in YOU, Jesus, that one can find life everlasting! It's freely given! Just for the asking! Please dear Lord... Come and direct my path. I need your mercy! And spare me from your wrath! Please guide me, by your loving and gentle hand… Help me to obey, listen, and understand! Following and trusting Jesus is the best thing I can do! To surrender my life, and daily follow YOU! By Jim Pemberton
I'm Not the Kind of Dad That I Need to Be! I remember reading the Bible to my son. But what a mess, my life has become! My children told me, they were proud of their dad! Now they say they're embarrassed and sad. I once lived a Godly life! I really did! Just look at me now! And how I live! Things in life I once called wrong and sin. Are now causing me to stumble again. God's word I had loved! Jesus was my treasure! I "traded my soul" for what gives me "pleasure." I'm not the kind of father that I need to be! What kind of example will my family find in me? Will I grow stubborn to God as I age? Replacing his peace, for anger and rage? I need Jesus to bring peace to my troubled soul! I ask YOU Lord to make me clean and whole. Restore unto me the joy of my salvation. By your blood, make me a new creation. Words alone cannot truly express… This family God's given to me. I am so blessed! By Jim Pemberton
I cry myself awake In the middle of the day Because of a decision I made Not to spend time with you. And now everything I am Is falling apart into pieces; I feel like I am losing you Because I am losing myself.
A Door Opens Door opened to light. Future happiness sprang forth, Melodies filled rushing air Visions of her appear; Promised future beckons and glows Years have now flown by. Your love gifted forever, By the blessed light you shine Miracles have appeared; Your sweet soul created them all Robert J.

Id like to think about the time when we first met, Sometime about a year ago, The words we said, our first exchange of hello's, Something about, you know I saw you just about all the time, And suddenly because of you I was smiling again, Though I can't seem to say when You brought back the sunshine into my life, unknowingly..accidentally And though it's hard to define certain things, Even now it is still confusing, what am I to you.. but I know what you are to me And how much I care about you.. But I must hide the love in my heart, Beneath a laughing face. And though you think I probably never cared, I doubt anyone can ever take your place... I miss you so much.. 5.18.11
It's like a weight lifted off of my heart; I am no longer torn apart. Thank God you are safe; Everything is okay.
Your paper-thin porcelain skin, I know how to get right under it. For kicks is why I do it now. You tell me to love but I never knew how. Our feet hitting pavement, We spent the day in sunny California with sun kissed skin. I'm learning to forget and how to fade scars, And you let me let myself down so hard. Your paper-thin porcelain skin, I know how to get right under it. And now I just do it for smiles, We'll never see flower girls stumbling down aisles. I'd lose my head just before that chance, But if you want we can still have a first dance. Cause I think I say things that I don't mean, Once upon a time you meant the world to me. Your paper-thin porcelain skin, I know how to get right under it. But I'm trying to refrain, To make this not all end up in vain. Maybe I can learn to love like some people do, And you can learn to love yourself a little too. Or it is in all fairness to let this go? I guess we can try but then we'll never know.
God knows why we really need him! He has put the enemy beneath him! He knows that without him, we shall fail! We're like the blind following life's trail! He also knows, that his son bled and died… That day on the cross, he was crucified! He knows that his son arose from the dead! He's alive now! And is our daily bread! Do you know how much God loves you? How much he wants fellowship with you? Do you even think about for just one moment.. Of Christ' love? And his blood's atonement? He did all of this with one purpose in mind. To offer his salvation to all of mankind! No matter what you may say, or think of him… It's all of us, that need him! Won't you join with me, before God, in prayer? Wherever we are… He's already there! Won't you join with me, and receive him in? To cleanse us, and take away our sin? Won't you begin today? And feel his power? You can be a new person! This very hour! By Jim Pemberton

Singing around in love; Smiles built from the ground. Holding hands in the dance; Laughing with brothers and sisters, All in His Glorious Name. Throughout His perfectly sculpted land: Look around because this is it; Look around because this is love; Look around and know, understand, comprehend, Rejoice because you are perfect; You are God's beautiful children!
I like your love It's pure, it's innocent and I don't think I've seen this before You replenish my reserves before it's necessary you lift my wings up and make me superior to my adversary Creatively providing the exact amount of what I need to go another day I like your love and for as long as you'll have me I'll stay You make me comfortable in my space What she share cannot be replaced with any other type of love be it artificial or tainted or lustfully blatant Those illusions don't exist because we found this love and we claimed it I cherish those nights when I scratch your head When you sit between my thighs and I twist your dreads We become an us that is so pure that the spring waters question the purity of it's source I like your love - it's a divine force
Look at ME! I hold your gaze for untold amounts of time, When others try to talk with you, I'm so important, That sometimes you won't even look away from me, When you see me, I am a window into the world, A message from afar, limitless information, I mesmerize you with my brightness and color, Other things arent as important to you, Other things need your affection, But this bond we have is so strong, I have your attention most the time, The world goes on around you but you hardly even notice, Because to notice would reveal an absence An absence of romance, adventure and life, I feel so special, if only I could feel, I can tell you love me, but I can not love you back, for I am, your smart phone, cell phone, I pad and computer, look at me, look at me, look at me.
Thine heart is true with such emotional bliss. Thee are my strength, sealed with one kiss. Valentine of mine; holds me tight above the mist. Secures my spirit, supports me in slippery snow. Thou are my sweetheart, sunshine on my spring list. Our life together rises, faster than any sapling grow. One day a year is not enough to celebrate how I feel. Each day mine and ours affection seals, lifetime deal.
I'm Thankful That God's Love Found Me! I think about the evil that surrounds me… I'm thankful that God's love found me! His love changed the way I was living! As I experienced HIS power of forgiving! His love came at a time when it mattered! My life had been bruised up and battered! When all of my friends left and forsook me! Jesus came with his loving arms and took me! He carried me in the strength of his loving arms. And was there to protect me from any harm! He whispered words of love into my ear. And said I'd be safe. Because he was here! As I heard his words of love, my life was quickened! His words of hope and peace, I quickly listened! He brought a love that I never had before! He gave me all I needed and so much more! Glory! Hallelujah! My soul has been redeemed! Christ is my Lord! My savior! My everything! I lift my hands in thanksgiving and praise! I shall bless his holy name, all of my days! Because of Christ' love… My life is completed! Through the power of his love… Satan is defeated! He's conquered anything that may come before me! He's here right now! And shall always be with me! Jim Pemberton 11/20/14
Do You Really KNOW Jesus? Jesus said many shall say they do wonders in his name. A relationship with him is what many often claim. They may pray and claim to see miracles performed. But in scripture, it makes clear to be warned! "But Lord, didn't we do wonders and cast out devils?" "We talked about you, and tried to be on the level." But Jesus will say; "depart from me!" "I never knew you!" "Leave me now!" "I will not be with you!" Many will leave his sight and be forever cast out. Have a relationship with Jesus is what it's about!" It doesn't matter how many Sundays you attend. Or how much you may boast to your friends! It doesn't matter if you pray a long prayer each day. Or how many people you "impress" along the way. What matters is having a relationship with Jesus, your king! He must be more important to you, than ANYTHING! A love and desire to have fellowship with him is needed! It's only through his blood, that you can be completed! Won't you stop and reflect on how much you need him? If you haven't done so, you can now receive him! You can have eternal life that's most precious and dear! Won't you come to the Lord now, while he's still near? Talking about and knowing Jesus are two different things. But you can enjoy the beautiful life that he brings! Won't you experience his life changing power? You can have everlasting life… This very hour! By Jim Pemberton 06/28/14
Run into my heart; Run right into my arms. I will never let you go; I am yours forever, please know. You make my soul beat; You bring me back to life. God, thank You for this love; God, thank You for this life.
Before, while, and after I said goodbye I couldn't help but sit there and cry. I cried on and off for 7 hours and slept one Woke up and cried again, I still wasn't even done. Two more hours…wake up again. Every so often a tear falls in the open. I literally feel an aching pain in my chest Thinking of how I lost you, wanting to forget. I'm feeling sick and I still haven't ate. I want you…my thoughts aren't straight. Mane, almost every tweet...is about you And almost every thought…is about who? Someone who could have been playing me Or showing me where my desires could lead. I wanted to tell you everything, I wanted to say more, There wasn't enough time and now my broken heart's feeling so sore. I just wanna be alone and listen to this depressing song, I can't get you out of my head... it hurts. Is that wrong? I understand that I may be foolish wasting my time hurting over you. But in all honesty my dear, I really wanted us to be something too.
I Have A Brother That Needs Prayer! I have a brother that really needs prayer! When it comes to God, he doesn't care! He's living a life by his own set of rules. And thinks Christians are a bunch of "fools." The only thing that seems important to him… Are the things in life that are close to him. Wandering down a path that he chooses… The one he's chosen… It's him that looses! Please, dear Jesus, keep him in your care! Wherever he goes… I know you are there! You are the one that my brother needs to come to! No matter the false "dreams" he may run into! Please dear Lord… Protect from all harm! May he seek the strength of your loving arms! May your voice beckon the master's call! He really does need YOU after all! By Jim Pemberton
Why am I so selfish? Why do I live for the wrong things? I am dying inside Because I refuse to see the light. I need to say yes, But I still haven't learned that yet. I am a fool, And I am hurting you. If I would let go of myself, I would hold on to you.
I give to you... And you gave to me... A rash, a fever, headache and the Flu... I told you not to go without a coat... And now you've got a very bad sore throat... With fever and pain in all your muscles... Coughing and sniffles, with draining from nostrils... Tissues scattered all over the floor... Bottles and pills from the drugstore... Chicken soup is what I recommend... But a sandwich also you did command... And how about some chips and a nice cold brew... For days I made you a priority... Your every whim took seniority... And then it happened, I started to sweat... Became lethargic, and better yet... You were over your bout with the Flu... As I plopped my body onto the bed... You stated you were going out to get something to eat... So I could get some well deserved sleep... As you closed the door, I heard you say... Call me when you get better, OK ? And that's what brings me here today... Perhaps I should listen closer to what I say... " You should take better care of yourself ! "
I Was In A Place Where I Didn't Belong! I was in a place where I knew I didn't belong! God's spirit was there… But the flesh was strong! I felt alluring voices almost "overwhelm me." There were so many temptations that surrounded me! I could feel the pull! The tugging of my heart! I knew this was going to happen! From the start! As I began to feel many voices, pulling my spirit. I wanted to run, but could not seem to do it! In one moment of hopelessness, to Jesus I cried! I couldn't run from this! No matter how hard I tried! Just when I thought that there was not a way out! I remember what some of the Bible was about! I knew that if I cried to Jesus, he'd be there to help me! No matter the temptation! And how it tries to "trip" me! Before I was going to do something, I shouldn't do… I heard God's voice say; "My son, I'm here to help you!" I felt the hand of God, reach down and touch my soul! I knew that God was there, and it was time for me to go! I jumped up and out of there, as fast as I could run! Any "excitement" was gone. I was not having "fun!" Whatever temptation I gave up, was worth avoiding! A life with Jesus and family is what I'm enjoying! Thank you my Lord! For your patience and kindness! You've filled my life with your love and brightness!09/04/13
You think you've gone just far enough, I could smile knowing you've gone far enough that you can't go back again You think you were careful but, I've caught a glimpse of your true, wretched form You think you can find a way into my good graces I've seen what you are, monsters with a friendly costume You can't deceive me anymore and, I don't consort with serpents You think I'm a game to be played but, trust me, you could never win Don't underestimate me You think I'm a joke but, trust me you won't be laughing You think I'm just talking myself up but, trust me, you're the ones going down My eyes took too long to adjust Better late than never It may take a monster to know one but, I promise my teeth are sharper than yours My first reaction to the hideous revelation that was your form was to weep Fall to my knees, maybe even wretch my heart from my chest and onto the carpet Then I thought about the mess it would make I decided the only blood that will spill, will be your own I was not weak, but I had a weakness A heart of soft gold stitched to my sleeve with care No longer Now my heart is a stone so heavy I could kill at least two birds at once Being the nice guy is a thing of the past Thanks for freeing me of that softness You thought I was all sunshine and delicate things When really I had just been swallowing razor blades Now that sun is setting and I hope you see it was you who were wrong Can you feel my darkness coming, because it's eager to hold you If you thought I was the one who would just stand still or turn to run Your gonna be the one with tired feet I'm not sad anymore Just sick with the plague of your lies Contagious, and I'm looking for someone to kiss Even angels can make themselves wicked When we do, we take no prisoners Still think I'm a game This one is just beginning
There are proud people "coming out!" Yet, they have no idea what real life is about! Many brag about a lifestyle that's revealing. Yet have lost God's purpose and meaning! I'm coming out for Jesus! I've nothing to hide! I've asked him to take away my sin and pride! Of my own accomplishments... I've nothing to boast! But I'm proud of God the father, son and holy ghost! Whatever pride we have… We've all sinned! Jesus told us; "you must be born again!" Nothing that I've done is worth "bragging of." Rather, I've done things that I'm ashamed of! But God reached down to where I was standing! And filled my life with his peace and understanding! The more I have of Jesus, the less I need of me! His power alone is what can truly set me free! I'm coming out for Jesus! The redeemer of my soul! I'm going to shout it! So the whole world may know! I'm not ashamed of Jesus! I am NOT! By his mercy… My sins have been blood bought! For each step you take to God… He takes two! Won't you allow him to do his work through YOU? A life of righteousness and holiness is what God is asking! Come now! And receive HIS life! It's everlasting! By Jim Pemberton
The other day I was a cruising, right on down the street. And I did spy a cop car, plainly marked, yes, an SUV. Now I would swear that I really saw a Lady Cop inside. A Lady Cop inside an SUV? Yes, that's what I really saw. Now that's a really tough job, even, at the best of times. And I don't want to make fun of women, in this work line. I'm sure they must be tougher than all the rest, to get respect. They probably work their tails off, for promotions, theirs to get. And I sure doubt I would get a pass on any tickets, either, to be true. I just can't shake the image, of a soccer mom, my mind keeps going to. I know it's wrong… I know… I know… this I really… shouldn't say… But I feel it's right to call her a 'Soccer Mom Cop', some how, this way. I know… I know… But 'Soccer Mom Cop' keeps rolling, in my head. And God help me, she may not understand, if she hears, what I just said. All I hope is she won't hunt me down, to lavish tickets, in recompense. But I mean it, in the nicest way; though to you, it may not make any sense.
Within her screams of joyous wild fire passion Leaps a dynamic feeling of awesomeness Love splinters through every pore of elation Sparks of wonderment points to her loveliness She expresses her harmonic propelled heart She careens by all my insides to impart Explosions come by her, every piece of her Power in amazement is how I confer Russell Sivey
In my life I often feel I am alone; alone in my thoughts, alone in my musings, alone in my day-to-day movements and unsatisfying activities. I move like a ghost through hallways and down sidewalks, unnoticed and, at times, gratefully so. I do not wish to be eternally alone. I long for togetherness. But despite this desire for a real connection, I find myself regularly retreating from that temperamental beast that is human interaction. "Come on now, sweetheart. Don't lower your head. Don't look away. Look up! Smile at someone! No! Don't go back into your bedroom. Don't lock the door! Why are you doing this?" my brain will plea. I can't help myself. Aloneness is comfortable. In being alone, I don't have to worry about anyone but myself. I don't have to please anyone else. I can think anything I want, wear anything I want, listen to anything I want, and laugh at anything I want. And still there remains that nagging desire to be loved and wanted and needed by somebody. I do not know the feeling of being truly desired. I do not know what it is like for someone to crave my company, my smile, my kiss, or my touch. But I would like to… I cannot make someone love me or like me or want me in some primal way. It may hurt, but I cannot make that handsome boy want to hold my hand or brush my hair back behind my ear. I can only struggle on. I can only work within myself. I can only try every God damn day to hold my head up, keep my eyes fixed ahead, a give the world the best smile I have. I and I alone can bring myself out of the safety of my bedroom and into the bright world that lies beyond that locked door. I often find myself alone with nothing more than my thoughts and the ever-strong glow of a computer screen. But no longer will aloneness be the constant in my life. It is true that never having known the caress of a man's hand on my thigh doesn't make me any less of a woman, but I fear that if I stay confined within myself much longer I will begin to become less of a human. A flower cannot grow if it retracts its leaves and petals every time it feels the warmth of the sun or the kiss of a gentle spring rain. And I want to grow. I want to grow so tall and blossom so big and beautifully that every place on earth is touched by my shadow at some point in the day. And I will grow. I will push myself and share myself with the world, and finally finally finally know the closeness and comfort of love and honest, unabashed companionship.
Blue covers the white, Snowdrops winning the winter, Smiles melt snow and time.
I recite your name in the whispers of the wind for bonded to my heart are you until the end I lifted the chalice drank deeply of its wine I felt of its effects the fullness of divine Like the chords of piano and dulcimers delight your melodies do waft through every thought at night a master plays the chords a violin with strings plays my heart like a harp whose music on it rings Your fingers play me like the stroke of piano keys every touch I enjoy your heart it aims to please you are a symphony whose chords have touched my heart a birth cries transmission of transformation every part Songs like an aria may yet I learn to sing whose vocals resonate the inmost of my being You left no line untouched no strand is mine alone made sure you did I knew would make you me your own Somewhere I lost myself I gave it all to you things I don't understand reasons appear askew I inhale you my breathe to deepest parts within need you to embrace me as close as your own skin We retire together speak 'neath the baleful skies of every trial in life and those who live in lies greet me in the morning curl around me at night sing to me of love songs of futures very bright The wedding of my heart tears away my mind I want to forever hold you for all of time Are not your words a bath that removes the worlds dirt a balm of medicine to heal the deepest hurt Its surpassing sweetness a palate of good taste love so intoxicating no drop will go to waste the adversary's here and tramples the flowers but you oh my beloved too freely roam my hours My life is but a breath an instrument of song music tells the stories of lives and right and wrong The scent of yesterdays the pathways of the past forward now the future into the everlast Proverbs 16 24 Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

God is in All Things Apprehend {Understand/Perceive} That God is in all Things For life cannot be without God within Every single thing in life has God within For God is the life force of all things For God teaches us to See the Invisible, Believe the Incredible, and Receive the Impossible So Apprehend the fact that God is in all Things even you and I LIFE is Living In Faith Ever Rev.

Am I Really Happy? With everything I've acquired and got... What kind of happiness has it brought? With everything I have or can name... Has it given me joy or brought me shame? With all that this world can give me… What kind of life "lies beneath me?" With all of my possessions and wealth… Do I have contentment and "true" wealth? I want it to be known and wish to express… I'm not so sure, I'm what you would call "blessed." There's something I know to be certain. Tomorrow could be life's "final curtain." There's something that's been on my mind. Have I given God just some of "my" time? There's one thing I'm going to do… And do it now! I'm going to come to the Lord and humbly bow. This is something I need to say and do... Give it all to God! And tell him; "I LOVE YOU!" Something that I should have done already... When Christ comes again… I want to be ready! God's joy and happiness is true and very real! The presence of God.., I can already feel! What God has given to me, no one can take away! For he comforts me and is with me every day! By Jim Pemberton
At a certain point He happened to be a pretender Deviating the track he came Like an iguana Way of flowing the life Broke and changed Language of words Feelings and expressions Thoughts and strategies Smiles and laughs Became an artificial drama of an actor Does his role very latently Lie being the reality Life becomes the reality of lie From then on Vanished the soul and Reborn a different mind Because of that Life being shaped Before the mirror He is same but different in soul Udaya R.

Where Wild Violets Grow Scribbling these verses, caressing your bare back, simple rhymes, flowing from my fingertips. Scribbling verses, sprinkling odes to fragrant promises, your smile lightens the burdens, off my heavy heart. Scribbling verses, soaked in countless kisses, the moonlight waltzing on your skin. Scribbling verses, feeling you, your love never ceases to flow, through the streams of my mind, to a place of our own, where wild violets grow
I've heard of those who say they're "happy and gay." Where are those who proclaim; "Jesus is the only Way?" I've heard of many who discuss creation vs. evolution. Where are those who proclaim Jesus is the solution? I've heard of many who chose an "alternate lifestyle." Where are those...who for Jesus... will go "the extra mile?" There are those who say; "Jesus isn't real!" Where are those who'll confess HIM with a passion and a zeal? There's so many who sit in their church's pew. Where are those... Whom to Christ… Will say; 'I LOVE YOU!" There's too many who are on their way to hell. Where are those who truly love Jesus? Can you tell??? I know of a redeeming savior's mercy and grace. His love has been extended to the human race. Jesus speaks a loving call and merciful plea... He says; "take up your cross and follow me!" Jesus brings true gladness and overflowing joy! This is freely offered to every man, woman, girl and boy! NOW is the day of salvation & the accepted time! Christ can change us! And renew our mind! I know that very soon.. Jesus is coming again! Where are those who desire to be cleansed within? I know that an abundant life is what Jesus will freely give! Where one can find eternal life! And a true meaning to live! By Jim Pemberton
The world needs You, Lord; We all need You too. Alone, we battle and fall apart, But we live joyful freedom with You: Created anew in Your perfect image; Saved, Loved, Changed, In Your Holy Name! We pray, Amen!
We'll be forever building gold mines from scrap metal and taking recycled energy to cosmic levels through third eye We'll go un-noticed until the heavens turn or if our chakras are not aligned constantly diverting negative thoughts through our meditative lights We'll build a sandcastle from determination and live life on the edge, fulfilling divine order and witnessing creation, living in the now and staying ahead We'll tip the earth off it's axis and trick subconscious mind states into submission You can catch us in the wind transcending counter reactions Bi-passing illusions of circumstances We'll have an abundance of the maximum Enough love energy for all who attract our path We'll be the ones in the light asking for nothing in return but peace at last
love deceives tender hearts broken in two pain
We Have A Sin Condition! We have more technology, but we have a problem! We have many "issues." And don't know how to solve them! Governments answer seems to be "spend, spend, spend." But we have this condition, that God calls; SIN! Just look at the problems that are all around you! It's amazing that they don't "overwhelm you!" There's all sorts of evil all cross our land! But there's something very few understand! We've sent men to the moon and outer space! Yet very few reach out and receive God's grace! The Bible says, "the heart of the man is sinful." Without God, man's heart is never "peaceful!" Jesus love provides for the world that fails us! He offers his love! Simply because he loves us! There's no "condition." His love is freely given! Won't you accept him? And be totally forgiven? Where there's sin. God's grace does much more abound! There's a new life for you! Just waiting to be found! Our sins for his love! What more could one ask? And enjoy a love and peace that will ALWAYS LAST! By Jim Pemberton
God Told Me That I Need Effective Prayer! God told me, in order for my prayer to be effective. That I should not choose to be so "selective." I asked him: "what do you mean by this question?" I wasn't quite prepared for the reception! God said; "You've chosen to be selective in how you live." "There's only so much, to me, that you want to give!" "You said that I'm your Lord, by your way of living." "But a life of holiness, is what you're not giving." "You want the prayer answered, but have nothing to show for it." "You claim to accept my grace, but aren't willing to share it." "How can I answer your prayer, when it's only convenient?" "Haven't I been patient with you?" "And most lenient?" "Give up all that you have, and give it to the poor!" "Then you'll know what prayer life is really meant for!" "Give me your heart!" "And take time to really listen!" "There's so much more of me, that you've been missin'!" "Obey my words and experience the life I have given!" "Know what it means to be cleansed and forgiven!" "Than your life will change, and your prayer time too!" "I will give you the strength to make it through!" "You will know what it means to spend time with me!" "And your prayers will impact you for eternity!" By Jim Pemberton 10/21/13
I love the way you look when you are happy; your teeth glowing in the moonlight, and your laughter cheering up everything I know. I love the way you smile; it is the sweetest thing I have ever seen under the Sun. I love the way you look at me; they have a way of inviting attention without any speech. I love the way you hold a child; it is as though it is your own. I love the way you shed tears as you watch a soap opera; I console you with a cuddling touch, reminding you it's just a play, and reminding myself that I have a woman who can feel, at the core of her soul. I love the way you act when you are mad at me; pushing me against the wall, and holding my shirt as though you want to tear it; making me feel like making love to you. You are all I want in a wife; everything I prayed for! Will you marry me?
It started with just a hint of smoke, A whiff that made the nostrils flare, But raised no alarm. It was fanned by every little slight And look And broken promise And critical word. No one noticed When it finally caught. The smolder now a flame Licking up the wall Of our lives. It was tame, Controllable. Safe. But it spread. It snaked its way Through each member And no one seemed To realize How it rotted flesh And poisoned air. It blistered And peeled way Our dreams Our hopes Leaving scars And immobility In its wake. Walking cadavers In a gutted world.
The God That I DO Believe In! There's a God that I really DO believe in! I knew this the moment I received him! This is the God whom I hold special and dear! He's always with me! Always near! He's the God of the glory of heaven above! He's also the God who's given us his love! He's the God who doesn't want anyone to go to hell! His son gave his life! So your soul can be well! I've given him my life with a renewed commitment! He's brought to me peace and a godly contentment! He's God! And can't be ruled by someone's theology! He can't be explained by science or biology! He's given us his word for a godly inspiration! Let's not twist it, into our own "interpretation!" He's alive and powerful! Let the whole earth proclaim! The majestic wonder and glory, there is in HIS name! Jesus is alive today! He reigns in resurrection power! You too can know him! And be changed this very hour! The God that I believe in, can be your God too! He's done his part! The rest is up to YOU! By Jim Pemberton
What God Has Done! As I look back on what God as done… There have been battles lost and won! I think about the many times I've been defeated. At times, I feel like my life isn't completed! There's been times I didn't feel like I belonged. And times when I feel like I've been wronged! In these times of uncertainty and hesitation… I encountered a visit! A heavenly visitation! I received a message from God above… A message of peace, hope, joy and love! The message was powerful and very clear. I needn't be afraid! God is always near! Jesus has done many wonderful things! There's so much to life, that he wants to bring! I've opened up my heart and invited him in! I have a new hope and security within! What God has done, has been incredible for me! An opportunity to be with him, for eternity! Thanks be to God for his awesome power displayed! Salvation through Christ, has already been made! Thanks be to Jesus! All glory and honor is due! I now know how much I really do need YOU! By Jim Pemberton 10/14/13
I can think of a time, when I was young. I was growing up and having fun! I remember how excited I was to have a t.v. There were my brothers, my parents and me! I remember at about the age of ten. My dad thought going to the theater was a "sin." There were many things that as young man… I later began to see, and understand! My parents shared God's love the best they could! And I read the Bible and was trying to be "good." I had my troubles… And problems bear... But I had a family, and much prayer! The truth of God's word helped sustain me! I knew how much he really loved me! My parents, may seem like they were "old fashioned." They loved their kids! With a Godly compassion! I'm thankful to be blessed with a Godly love! My family was a treasure from heaven above! I think about today, and how things go wrong. Many families don't seem to "get along!" I pray for the blessing of God, to bind them together! May we all serve him! Today, and forever! His love must be the cord that binds! His will must be the focus of our minds! May the presence of God bind us as one! Every mother, father, daughter and son! By Jim Pemberton
This acrimonious attitude Comes about with the realization, That any hope you harbor for meaningful change, Has become nonexistent.
Isnt it wild? Just thinking about the people in your life Some are your closest family members who have known you and loved you your while life And then you have the others that have come into your life by being introduced by people you know Some of them you may have met just striking up a conversation in the store Or maybe you may have forgotten how u even met but they've made you see things differently; Giving you a new perspective in a way you never knew possible And then you start to wonder what would've happened if you passed them by Never said hello Never formed that relationship It is said that timing is of the essence and I couldn't agree more It's wild to think that just a few seconds could mean everything
When you're hurt inside, And there's no where to hide, And there's no one on your side, And it's killing your pride, Inside, Never take hate outside, When your heart is chocking, The heavy words never spoken, The things that hurt you inside, When love has died, Inside, Never take hate outside, When your heart is gone, From being alone, And it beats a solemn tone, When you're cold inside, It's only a short ride, Never take hate outside
Please Come Lord Jesus, And Hear My Voice! Please come Lord Jesus, and listen to my voice! In all I do or say, may you be my first choice! Please come dear Jesus, and listen to my cry! Give me your living water, that can satisfy! Please come dear Jesus, and renew my mind! You're so patient, loving and very kind! Please come dear Jesus, and renew my spirit! Your words of life... May I daily live it! Please come dear Jesus, I need you this hour! I need your strength, and your power! Thank you my Lord, my savior and friend! And thanks for answering me... Once again! By Jim Pemberton
Jesus Paid The Sacrifice! Jesus sacrificed his life for you and me! So we can be with him for all eternity! His life for ours… a ransom was paid IN FULL, This is why I I love HIM so! Upon his head were placed the crown of thorns, Enduring so much shame and scorn. The blood from his body as it began to flow! The pain inside his body, Began to grow! The nails placed in his feet and hands, The pain he went through is hard to understand. His life for ours, is what he gave! His life for ours… Is what he did trade! By Jim Pemberton
I know of a son who turned his back on the God he once knew! Praying for him, was all that his family could hope to do! The truths taught to him as a child, he now began to reject! Spending an eternity without God… He refused to accept! He told his friends, about his "newfound theology." It sounded like he found some new kind of psychology. Rather than accept the truth of God's word, as he would find. He would twist scripture to fit his own state of mind! He would say; "the God of heaven and hell doesn't exist." "It doesn't matter how you live!" Is what he'd insist! He rejected God's gift and wonderful plan of salvation… And chose to believe "whatever fit his own situation." I began to see his life sputter from a hurtful heart. It just seemed like everything around him "fell apart." God wanted to help, but he didn't believe he needed him! God was there! But he made it clear that he didn't believe him! Many years went by, and this son started growing old. He became a bitter and broken person, I've been told! He did his best to remove God from his family and home. Now, it was just him! And he was all alone! Then one night, he cried out and called on Jesus' name! And confessed of all of his sin, guilt and shame! This son, who had drifted from God for so many years… Was filled with a true love, and a joy that brought tears! He had returned to God! And God changed him! God will always be faithful! And will never leave him! Won't you too, accept the life that God wants to give you? He can change your life! Just because he LOVES YOU! By Jim Pemberton
Who are what can fill your life's "empty void?" In spite of the many things that you have "enjoyed." Drugs… Sex… Money… Are you concerned? Has your life been one that's taken "the wrong turn?" There's many choices to make. I'm fooling you not! But there's a godly principle that must be taught! The void we have. Only the presence of God can fulfill! Bringing you true love, is God's purpose and will! Won't you take a moment with the king of kings? And allow him to take control of everything? Jesus will never disappointed you! Not now or ever! He wants to be your friend! Today and forever! The God of this world and universe, wants to come in! A Brand new way of living… Is waiting to BEGIN! By Jim Pemberton
Feel the peace again Inside your beautiful soul. Trust in the Lord all your heart; With Him, He makes you whole!

Just Because I Said I do From her words I put out this, Both in her words her wish is scoop: "Whatever I do, this I, worth a note" -She said she needs answers. For nag I will not play the part, But for proofs, I will play my part: I will call you to order as your hobby, Cos, two wrongs can never make a right. This love, my lady, is all about understanding. Though, you are pretty but lack comprehending- You easily get abnormally obsess, and "let me help", You would totally ignore. Another thing that baffles me about you, Is the apathy in your pitch and words; While I word pithy all through for you. Your love you love throwing in the air, Especially when you are annoyingly possessed By things and actions not going your way. I pity, the why I write Cos never my strength and personality To talk behind your back. A piece of advice to "I want love to remain"- Reshape, rebrand, reflect, and revive. For nag I won't play the part But for proofs, I'll play my part. Your love you love throwing in the air, Especially when you are annoyingly possessed By things and actions not going your way. 4/2/2014
I Noticed; "Jesus Loves You," Above Your Door! I noticed a sign, "Jesus Loves You," above your front door. I want to know about him! I want to know more! Could you tell me without any hesitation... About Jesus and his plan of salvation? Could you tell me about being born again? And share with me how much you love him? What is it like to become a Christian? And to serve Christ, As a daily mission? I want to know how God has changed you! I don't really know whom else to turn to. Are you one that I can really depend? I assume that Jesus is your best friend? Please listen to what I have to say... And spend some of your time with me today!. By Jim Pemberton
I Knew Someone Who Was Ready to "End It All!" I knew of someone who just wanted "to end it." Giving up on life, and did not want to "defend it." It was a heart wrenching and difficult situation. He said what he wanted to, with no explanation! I could see his face and the sad look in his eyes! What he was going to do next, was anyone's surprise. He turned to drugs and encountered addictions. With this brought much disease and afflictions! He gave up on the wonderful family that was given. And turned to a pretty wild and crazy way of livin'! I told him about a God who loves him very deeply. As he listened, he began to grow restless and weary. I reached for his hand and began to pray for God's power! It was a miracle! The blood of Jesus changed him that hour! The spirit of God brought healing and hope to his body! He was so excited! He rushed out to tell everybody! The "end" that he wanted, seemed to just fade away! For the son of the living God, changed him this day! The glory of God, and the power of Jesus' resurrection… Changed him! And got him going in a NEW direction! He's so thankful for the blood of Christ' atonement! And is a different person now, because of that moment! This same Jesus loves and can do the same for YOU! Through the problems of life… He will see you through! By Jim Pemberton
What Do We Expect, As We Seek to Remove God? As so many people are seeking God's removal… It's like anything from him, we've given a refusal! Many have tried to ban just the reading of his word! There's so much truth, just waiting to be heard! Many anti-God societies have quickly formed! Even the ten commandments, are often scorned! We've built large cities, many schools, and homes! But when it comes to God, we've often left him alone! One can try their best to push God back in the corner! But if you do, things in your life will get "warmer!" The pleasures and truth you seek, will come to an end! And then eternity without God, will just begin! You'll wish you chose to live for God, that eventful day! You'll wish that you took the time to study and pray! It's the word of God that you need to study and read! God knows all about you! And knows your needs! He deserves all of your praise and full attention! We need to seek him, for much needed direction! Please come dear Lord, and cleanse us within! May we humbly confess our faults and sins! We need YOU much more, than words can say! Please be the God we serve! May we start TODAY! By Jim Pemberton
Suspended in perpetual animation There is a light at the end of the tunnel From hours of travel though inches gained Spewed forth from the bowels of existence I stand Before me lies the road Like a pond turned solid by Winters touch The road is wide, flat, smooth No encumbrances to impede the journey Cautious at first, testing the consistency of life The trek of life begins on the road It is not so bright anymore Feet shuffle along in a redundant pattern Knees skinned and bruised Rocks, underbrush, thorns and ruts These are the things that now fill the road Alas, a fork and a place to rest Up to now the choices where clear Through mired with pitfalls the ground was flat No twists, no turns no looking back Things are to change depending on the road Left or right, the choice seems easy The right is blessed by being clear The left appears to be less traveled Skulls, cross bones and signs beware Love and pain are to gain on the road I have been meant to suffer Life and family has taught me that The left road I must take The pain of absence of love already aches Perhaps life shall end on this fragment of the road The hand of God has made passage impossible Wind, rain, sleet and hail Tear are my flesh and blur my eyes Bloodied and raw fingers grasp into the unforgiving Earth Clawing my way up the grade that is now the road Shrouded in disappointment and failure I succumb to life's journey It is simply too hard without family and love Face down the struggle ends I release my grasp and begin the last leg of the road Where is the bottom? Why have I not hit? I quit, I have no more to give Yet suspended like where it all began What forces dare to interfere with the plan For what reason to I remain on the road It is not I that continues the struggle Through slits of clarity wiped clear from tears The vision comes into focus There is one who feels I am worth the effort It is my brother who holds me on the road You are not a brother, blood of blood Nay, you are a brother by choice A man through unconditional love and conviction Has purged the darkness, sorrow and despair Saving my life and my soul, I am still here on the road I have no tangible means of payment Gifts and idle trinkets could never tender the amount I owe The love I have and the embraces of family It is what was given to me because I went left The wounds healed and voids filled because of the road Today the day is bright Warmth surpassed only by the glow of love Shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart Life is worth living and good again Because of our travels down the roa
Hoping the love we have will be forever true Another dream comes alive, for me and for you Positive attitudes are prevalent between us People see us and sure wonder how we are thus You know our love comes year after year with passion Never did they realize we have the powerful mission Every day of the year our love boils with a special lust Whispers of desire comes at our command, we adjust Young we were at the beginning of each loving year Endearing our hearts beat as one, both hearts are dear All these qualities are glowing at the start of now Real love in the New Year, a love so strong is my vow Russell Sivey Entrant into Francine Roberts' "New Year's acrostic" contest 1/1/2013
TRICK OF LIGHT Moonlight beams that streams are treacherous, dear. They shine yet leaving some lovers bewitch. I gaze at you one last time while you sleep for you might wake, tasting tears from my lips. This night, my love, please ask moonlight to stay to watch over you while I steal away. Harsh is the light that forms a beloved that in each dusk growing thin and distant. Cruel like sun's glare is the brown eyes that answers fond brilliance of another gaze. Our bittersweet love shuns: a lantern dim, Always this treachery can never be. In blessed eve, we dance again, You and I, the refuge (I felt) swells on shadows warmth these the recesses of our whispered vows-- flashes of white hope for my weary soul. I cower winter low before sin stabs. Again, this treachery can never be. Breathless in butterfly prayer for peace; a final ace for a vestige of pride. Dear,[oh dear...] though I shall steal away soon my heart will stay with you forevermore I blow this thine words up in the cold air: "May he ,who holds you today, forgives me -- for once, twice I have stolen you from him..." ___________________________________________________ ©O.

The bustle of summer during the day Youthful cottonwood tree blows all about I am seen speechless with nothing to say Where extreme heat of the year fills with doubt Warmth collaborating with the cotton Youthful cottonwood tree blows all about Expression loses glare with its beacon The luster of the summer pleads with hope Warmth collaborating with the cotton Romance explodes in this season elope We sit near this tree kissing by the leaves The luster of the summer pleads with hope All of our hearts seem to reach the top eaves Where the sun perks and goes harmonizing We sit near this tree kissing by the leaves Summer keeps us nestled, burnt rejoicing The bustle of summer during the day Where the sun perks and goes harmonizing I am seen speechless with nothing to say Russell Sivey Contest: a poem that took more than a week to write Sponsor: Poet Destroyer A Started writing poem on 6/5/2013 Just finished today 6/25/2013
I May Change, But Jesus Remains the Same! Jesus remains the same! Even when I'm burdened! He loves you and me! This is most certain! He's the same yesterday, today and the future! Because of him, my life is a "bright picture!" He's committed to do what he's promised to do! It was he, that bled and died, for me and YOU! He remains the same! No matter how many fail me! How many have let you down? Can you tell me? I'm so thankful for his blessings that come my way! Words of encourage and hope, are what he has to say! He's the lover and redeemer, of my weary soul! He cleansed my sins! And made me whole! I'm so thankful for him! And all that he does! He reigns with God the father, in heaven above! Glory to Jesus in the highest! Peace toward all men! He will always be the same! Hallelujah and AMEN! By Jim Pemberton
Blind man Feeling anothers thoughts by touching his hands; Can you tell who I am by my darker shades that follow the cracked, dry lines of your palms? Do you see what I hide from everyone else like a silhouetted tattoo? Can you tell that a concrete kids game isn't the only thing that almost broke the back of my mothers heart once? Is it the sound of my voice that pierces through your senses that makes you silence the memories deep within the recesses of your past? I can see you'd rather forget about it; discouragement is written all over a face that you can't even read. Does that make me better than you? Truth is, I long to see like you. Heighten my senses, Mr. Sphere, so that I may see everything that my two small worlds can't. I want to read a book backward and forward a thousand times without being so anxious to flip forward, because I imagine you're more patient than I am. I want to know the adventures of your vivid dreaming, and how safety sounds like whenever God speaks to you. I want to be able to wrap my head around the concept of appearing to look good even when I know that my clothes, cologne, and character are wrapped around my ego like bandages I never changed; I never knew I was a walking, talking, mummified optimist until I saw the stench of the lies I told myself seeping through the eyes of loved ones. I never again want to make another cry from a false truth. Mr. Blind eyes, could you help me to believe that their are others who look like me who see more like yourself? I don't like who I'm becoming, and I want to know that my choices won't be just for show. I want to know that when I look at my wife in her lifelines, we'll both be able to see that death has no real place in the wounds that love has healed. Bandages have to come off and stay off at some point; you'll never be able to move onto greater things until you can live with the sight of scraped knees that made sidewalk scars of your past. I want to carry her in the voice of my care, like a musical note you hold two seconds too long just because you love music. I want to be just like you, so that my child will want to look up and see more than a father worried about his job. I want to see that my breaths can take shape in the form of a beautiful baby. I want to give back. Are you listening to me?.. God shows himself in rare forms, and sees with his heart when we ask Him out of the honesty of ours. So, by the time we've finished talking, what we've been searching for is already inside of us. God is blind to the sin of those who seek to be saved. Their will always be a second chance if you ask in an honest tone.

Living A Life That's Pleasing to God! We must live in a way that's pleasing to the Lord Neglecting his word... we can't afford! It's HIS will to be sanctified and avoid immorality. If we don't… It'll lead to a spiritual fatality! With God's help... Our body... We must control! God's instructions for holiness, we ought to know. The sins against the body will not go unpunished! Our spiritual life needs to be daily replenished! God has called us to be holy, and not impure. His word in our life, we must daily secure! Whoever rejects his instruction ... also rejects HIM. And will lose out on what it means to be free from sin! Let's seek a Godly life! As our goal and ambition! Having Jesus in us is a great addition! Living a pure life is what we must do. He has the power to give victory to ME and YOU! By Jim Pemberton Read 1 Thess. 4:5-11
As I die he will be with me, I fell in love he had the key, And always knelt on one knee. My last thoughts are of him, As the lights go dim, Life circling on a rim. All at once we are apart, The taste is so tart, It all hits me in the heart. You are left to live, My heart your captive, There is nothing to forgive. My cheeks blush so shy, With a tear in my eye, As I start to die. Fear not for I am well, As many up here can tell, It is not quite hell. As I look from above, kissing the forehead of my love, I wonder what he dreams of. I look at him so fondly, his lips curve so grandly, as he sleeps so soundly. I'm like a hummingbird fluttering over his bed, I wish to be with him but I am dead, My life over and has fled. I fear for my love for he is kind, Strong handsome and well lined, But now I leave him way behind. Finding love is like a quiz, Never knowing what it is, He needs love from a heart as strong as his.
Nobody knows your dirty clothes, Like your best friends do. The small detail that few know, Back roads that lead to you. ©2014 Honestly JT
I Remember When I Took Time to Pray! Our family would gather for dinner each day. Our dad would first take the time to pray! As kids, we thought it was important to do! I remember praying over my food in school! I was taught that we should give God thanksgiving! And be grateful for how he blessed our way of living! I remembered praying in the restaurants for the food. We wanted to honor God! And not be rude! But as the many years have come and went… I think about where my time is now spent. Prayer doesn't seem like it used to be! I often try not to let this really bother me! But as I get older, and think about the past… Father time has a way of creeping up fast! This God I once took the time to speak to. Is the one that I seldom take time to pray to! I need his help right now! More than ever! I'm not going to be on this earth forever! I'm going to focus on Jesus in a new direction! And give to him, my desires and ambitions! Talking with Jesus is the best thing I can do! Prayer can change my life! And be renewed! Won't you take the time to talk to God in prayer? He's waiting for you! And really cares! By Jim Pemberton
Jesus... You're beautiful and good to me! You've opened my blind eyes! Now I can see! I've seen your love in my family as well. You're so faithful! More than words can tell! All my sins... You've forgiven, And are patiently showing me your way of livin'! Living for you is so very precious! And your love is so very nutritous! Your blessings to me... I haven't deserved. Your peace to me has been served. You've been so patient with me and kind. Your promises have stood the test of time. Thank you Jesus! You're my best friend! And have been there for me again and again! How precious you are! Words alone can't express. Calling "Abba father..." I'm so blessed! I long to be refreshed by your presence each day. I love you more than words can say! By Jim Pemberton

I'm not ashamed of what Jesus has done for me! He took away my sin, that I might be free! I'm not ashamed of the love that he brings! He's brought to me true life! He's my everything!

Come, all of you who are thirsty! Whose life has run dry! Come to God's living waters. Your needs, he shall supply! Come, those without money! Come, buy and eat! Buy wine and milk without money! That you may be complete! Why spend money on what isn't bread? And labor with no satisfaction? Behold the glory of the Lord! He offers his wonderful salvation! Listen to God! And eat that which taste so sweet! God brings everything to the table, so that you may be complete! Allow your soul to delight, in the riches of God, most fare! Allow his goodness and mercy to keep you in his care! Listen to the voice of God now! That your soul may live! Won't you come and receive all, that God has to give? He's the God of creation, and is waiting for YOU! Come all who are thirsty! That your life may be renewed! By Jim Pemberton 07/14/13 Read Psalm 55:1-3
I don't need any money, I don't need fancy shoes. I don't need to buy happiness, 'Cause all I need is You. I don't need expensive clothes, I don't need things to choose. I don't need five-star meals, 'Cause all I need is You. I'm smiling here so wide; I feel like I'm brand new. Today is the start of something big 'Cause all I need is You. My soul is eternally fulfilled; My heart is being led through. I don't need anything else, 'Cause all I need is You.
The Lord is my light and salvation. Whom shall I fear? He is my protector and friend. And is always near! He's the stronghold of my life... Whom shall I be afraid! He is clothed with righteousness. His majesty is displayed! Though evil men advance, and my enemies attack me… They will stumble and fall! For the Lord is with me! Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear! The Lord will fight for me, and they shall disappear! In the day of trouble, the Lord will keep me safe! He will hide and put me on a solid resting place! At his tabernacle, will I sacrifice shouts of joy! Singing and making music to the Lord, I shall enjoy! I am confident in the Lord's goodness, in the land of the living! I will enter his gates with praise and a heart of thanksgiving! I shall wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart! Being in his presence, is a good place to start! You, my Lord bring goodness and life to my soul! I shall sing of your love and mercy, wherever I go! By Jim Pemberton 07/14/13 Read Psalm ch. 27
Do You Feel Like There's Nowhere to Go? I know that it's easy to get discouraged and upset. Feeling "trapped" ... But can't escape "just yet." You've tried everything. And not sure what else to do? Is there someone who can help you through?" Many things you've done. You've wanted to be forgiven! Yet struggle with this each day you're livin'! You meet people and wear a "smile." And sometimes wonder if living is really worth the while. You may have prayed over and over again. And yet constantly feel Like you're "trapped within." You may have tried to call on Jesus' name. Yet find yourself in "guilt and shame." Jesus is here now! And wants you to know… He can bring peace to your troubled soul. Rather than thinking of things done in the past. Come to Jesus now! His love will always LAST! Allow HIM to bring to your life the needed victory now! He'll make you a brand new person! And HOW! By Jim Pemberton
I am what you call a hopeless romantic, But im also a lost lovers cause, my heart belongs to another Yet in my head a love triangle starts to form, the girl I love doesn't love me She holds the heart to another and mine caged to the floor, She isn't afraid to fight for what she wants, not even when it comes to leaving another man torn Trust me she's happy, as that boy holds her heart ever so close Seeing what I shouldn't I smile as I wear my blind fold, Blind to everything around, lifeless staring into air My train of thought running so fast, the second I stop you'll hear a crash Derailing my hope, for ever finding a love so pure & rare Wishing I could hold the hand of the lover who stole my flame, Wish I could change the last days in which we parted ways, Realizing now that we can never be the same Finally saying it out loud as tears run down my face You stole my happiness, as I walked away that day But it's because as of what you said I guessed I changed, Now every relationship has just be the same, No one can seem to bring back that flame, Because a love likes ours comes once in a lifetime Well at least it does to me, But I mean you're happy with who your with I mean I only wrote this as I heard exchanging "I love you" flow from each of your lips.
Love floats by, reaching, tantalising, meandering, tip-toeing past pain, leaping through walls, weakening the barricades, of the most private heart. Love settles in, trusting, searching, dissolving, quietly beyond anguish, erasing the desolation, soothing a battered spirit, enveloping the shivering soul. Love stays, it is true, love endures, as do you
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An Uncontrolled Passion and Unquenchable desire! An uncontrolled Passion and unquenchable desire, Will lead your soul to an uncontrollable fire! This will lead to an unquenchable flame. Things in your life will never again be the same! The passions and urges that led you down this path. Will not spare your soul from Satan's awful wrath. He will not spare you of what your longs to have. No matter what you hold on to. No matter what you grab! All the counseling in the world could never take away. The sin you have in your heart. No matter what others say! The uncontrollable urges that seem to burn from within. Are now causing you grief, in your life, once again! The only power that can cleanse and wash you clean... Is the blood of Jesus! He is God! And can do ANYTHING! Won't you seek his help? Won't you reach out and take his hand? Everything you're gong through... He already understands! Whatever you're holding on to. Whatever person you may be... Only the blood and power of Jesus can totally set you FREE! Please come Lord Jesus and restore our lives with your grace! It's only in you, dear Jesus, that we have a "resting place." Thank you Jesus for helping us to receive fulfillment inside. By your love and forgivenss... There's nothing more to hide! By Jim Pemberton 05/11/13
You are not the man, you want to be You said you were my Father, till, I discovered different Enduring, daily beatings Bashing the living day lights, out of a woman and a child Repetitive, bad ass attitude, nasty streak Mean and aggressive! Fists, knives and guns, your weapons of chose Out of control, abusive, devious Relentless, over – bearing! Breaking me, piece by piece Confusing a child, with unhealthy love Hand fed your bullshit, brain washed Using me as your human, punching bag This innocent child's blood, staining your callas hands My child's curiosity, asking you one day "Why do you hurt me and Mum?" Your retort: "I am not your blood!" I didn't understand, back then Now, as an adult, I clearly understand! Believe me, when I say There was never a day that went past That you didn't remind me of that! My freedom, restrained My sanity, tested Caged, like a wild bird in captivity Behind bars, looking out Here, I am today, free from your grip Nursing, this inner child's, bleeding love
love complex emotion poised to break your heart
"Badi Tassalli Se Toda Tha Tumne hamara Dil. Hum Aaj Bhi Mohabbat Nahi Kar Paaye."
I Rejoice In Knowing God! I will cry out to God with my voice! I take safety in him and rejoice! I shall seek him in the day of trouble! He'll pick me up, when I stumble! I know that he listens, and is always there! I shall seek each day, alone in prayer! I shall remember the Lord's faithful deeds! He gives me strength, and meets my needs! I meditate on his words, and wonders performed! He picks me up, when I feel defeated and scorned! He is God and shines with an awesome brightness! He brings everlasting love, peace and kindness! Behold! He is God! His power is demonstrated! His beauty among the heavens, has been demonstrated! He is God! And shall forever reign supreme! He is my God! My righteousness and everything!

My mother never knew what to do with me. I was an obligation that needed to be. But I wanted her to love me. Simply… love… me. I would do anything to please her. Wanting her to be proud, I worked hard at everything I did. But she viewed me as her competition, not wanting to be out done. Needless to say our relationship wasn't what I wanted it to be. I dreamed to have a family of my own to simply… love… me. I had a daughter who didn't live. And my mom said someone like me shouldn't have kids. Though she didn't know about my epilepsy and other problems with my health. Then my life fell apart with hard times everywhere. I didn't show it but hidden…my health wasn't all that good. My husband's diabetes affected his mind. And epilepsy was working on mine. I ignored that fact. I worked hard as my epilepsy kept tearing every thing apart. Finally with a hard earned job… Fourteen years later I had a son. The son I'd always wanted to have. I was so very proud but was attacked by both health and son, at every turn. He was wilder than most creating problems everywhere. He blamed me for everything and everywhere something went wrong. My health did it again at work as my relationship continued to crumble with my son. He hated a mother who had to work, had epilepsy, and just wasn't there for him. I was slowly dying when he was 12 and I was 52, when finally I was saved. That night… I met God and he said I had more to be done along the way. I came back and did every thing I could to help my wayward and unruly son. But way before I helped him go to college… I knew I had lost my son. But his best friend needed a mom so I was there for him. It seems so strange to tell, but as my son moved out… His best friend simply moved in. And it's even stranger to tell that… The son who will occasionally smile at me, is someone else's son. He's my heart-adopted son and has brought my first son closer again. Jesus was always here and… the tear in my heart is gone.
Getting ready for Passover to shed us might For joyous future The significance Of God's holiday is way More vital than us
My life passes me by day by day Hoping that one day it could change Then I soon glance at something with such beauty It was an angel in which I seek The look in such eyes soon makes me realize Just how wonderful life could be When one day you are holding hands with me At night when you feel the cold air breeze I will hold you in my arms so peacefully The warmth of a goddess in the one I love Makes me feel like I am soaring in the skies above Glancing at those soft tender lips Closing in closer so we can share such a passionate kiss I could wish for nothing more Your presence is all that I was searching for Such an image could not be For me to soon realize that it was just a dream When I awake I will finally know How life would be in the real world Will time come and pass me by Will I ever be able to find true love before I die Soon I realize that I am standing under the wedding bells Where my angel and I are exchanging our sacred vows.
I don't know how to tell you How I really fell Too scared to hurt your feelings To say it aint real I've tried to say many times But you just won't listen To the truth that haunts me now Not to say is a crime You see I'm fed up of falling for Your sweet talk lines I don't want to be with you I've shown you all the signs Your time is up now We just won't work Please don't come back around Not again Time's up I'm sorry if it hurts you But I can't help it This is how I truly feel It's time to be true I don't have love in my heart When I look right at you I just don't feel the same way I need a brand new start You see I'm fed up of falling for Your sweet talk lines I don't want to be with you I've shown you all the signs Your time is up now We just won't work Please don't come back around Not again Time's up You're out of luck I've had enough I'm out of love And this is tough I'm fed up of falling for Your sweet talk lines I don't want to be with you I've shown you all the signs Your time is up now We just won't work Please don't come back around Not again Time's up Time's up I said your Time's up
Jesus Picked Me Up, When I Fell Down! Jesus picked me up, when I fell down. He planted my feet on solid ground! There was a deep pit, that my life fell into! At first, I wasn't sure who to call out to! When it seemed like life was overwhelming me! Christ was there! And said that he'd help me! He reached down with an outstretched arm. And pulled me out of danger and harm! I'm thankful that Jesus was there! And he found me! Now each day… His love surrounds me! Thank you my lord, for being my friend! And rescuing me from the deep pit of sin! Jesus is my savior! And shall forever be! The only one who can truly set me free! By Jim Pemberton
Christ Stepped Down From His Heavenly Throne! Christ stepped down, from his heavenly throne. He came to earth… For 33 years, he called it his home! His mission had one purpose and desire in mind! He was to one day, be a sacrifice for mankind! He taught and gave us his words, powerfully spoken! He knew that one day, his body would be broken! He desired that all, would one day, come to know him! Because of his resurrection, all can receive him! He's alive today! And reigns from heaven above! And desires to touch us, with his endless love! Won't you humbly come, and accept what he's given? And experience the power, of being forgiven! This can be your moment! This can be YOUR day! He loves you much more, than words can say! All honor and praise, to Christ Jesus, our king! You are our righteousness! Our everything! By Jim Pemberton
Life and a living being can never be separated See one and you see the other Destroy one and you destroy the other Pluck a flower from a tree and dissect it to understand it You no longer have that flower as it existed on the tree You may have an understanding of the relationship between the components of a dead flower but you will have forever lost the totality of the experience of the LIVING flower To see the flower in its completeness BECOME THE FLOWER and understand a reality that can only be experienced but can never be put into words for the whole is more than the sum of its parts
Our security is only in God alone! Not in the things we have, or what we call "home!" True joy can be found in God himself! Not from the things we have ourselves! True contentment can be found at the cross! Jesus' death paid whatever it cost! Eternal love comes from doing God's will! Any emptiness, his love shall fill! The love of God is truly worth finding! His eternal life is forever binding! Won't you take a moment and invite HIM in? And have total forgiveness of every sin? God rewards those who diligently seek him. Won't you reach out to him now? And receive him? By Jim Pemberton
Life Is Fragile! Handle With Prayer! Life is fragile! Handle with prayer! We don't know how long we're here! Life isn't as long as someone may think! It could be gone as fast as you can blink! This life that we have... Our God has given! Only he knows how long we'll be livin'! Won't you spend some time to pray? Wherever you are... It will change your day! It's good to spend time with God, one to one! And ask for a touch from his precious son! Christ can restore and change you from within! He can heal and cleanse you from every sin! With him, you can have eternal life insurance! And have an everlasting love assurance! He can give you eternal life to receive! Won't you reach out to him? And simply believe? By Jim Pemberton
God Gave Us His Truth, But Many Reject It! God gave us his truth… But many reject it! Many have chosen a lie… And accept it! God gave us his word, so we can live by his rules. Without God in our lives, many have become "fools." Refusing God's holy truth, and accepting a corruptible lie! They believe whatever untruth can "satisfy." For this reason, many have a very confused mind! As many look for answers of various kinds! God's word is the only truth to securely build on! But many have brought confusion to build their lives on! The principles of God's word, give true freedom to all! Won't you "wake up?" And heed the master's call? God is calling everyone to listen to what he's saying! It's time we seek his truth! In humbleness and praying! The truth of Jesus Christ is the most important thing! He has the answer to whatever life may bring! Please allow his precious truth to touch your life today! He can remove and take all doubts away! The words of Jesus Christ ring loud and very clear! He'll bring the sunshine in! Any darkness will disappear! By Jim Pemberton
I wasn't expecting for anything... Then i saw you, and you change everything... I wasn't there to capture your eyes... I wasn't there to fall in love... And yet, you took my breath away... But your heart is taken by someone else... And you came after me... You played with our hearts... And broke both of our hearts... I wasn't there to fall in love... And yet, you took my breath away... You took my heart away... You took my soul away... And left me with nothing... you left me with huge question mark over my head... Asking myself why!... I wasn't there to fall in love... Yet, you broke my heart... You broke me while I'm still mending myself... Still healing my heart... It takes forever to fix it... But a second to fall for someone like you... And now you barely look at me... I wasn't there to fall in love... And i wasn't looking for one... But my heart chose you... And it can't seem to let you go... I try to look strong and pretend to get over you... But deep inside, its tearing me apart... Yes I'm weak more than you ever know... And I'm not gonna show it to you... At least not in front of you... I wasn't there to fall in love... And yet, I fell for you..
You and I. You. Your heart blazed, with a warmth of spirit, soothing, alluring, soaked in truth. Your smile burned, branding me permanently, gentle, tender, enveloping my being. Your love was complete, from the depths of your soul, unsaid, yet fierce, bathed in silent knowing. Your dreams were poetic, fluttering in the afternoon breeze, infused with the distilled essence of rhyme. I. I squandered your generosity of spirit. I vainly discarded your priceless poems. Now I stand, alone, empty, desolate, wasting away, rotting inside, day by day.
She planted seeds of love deep in my heart that flourished and bloomed like a flower nourished with tender care and summer love with soft warm kisses that rained down on me like a welcome refreshing invigorating shower. Peter Dome.copyright.2012.

I know of a brother, who's lost and confused… Many of his relationships, he's already "abused." He's not really sure, which direction he's going… There's a lot of wise advice, that he's ignoring! He's choosing to ignore the God who loves him. And refuses to acknowledge how much he needs him! He decided to leave his family behind him… Perhaps, one day, they'll be able to "find him!" I pray for this dear brother! He needs prayer! I know that wherever he goes… God is always there! Please, dear Jesus, touch him with your kindness! Without YOU dear lord… He's walking in blindness! No matter where he goes… Which path is taken! God will always love him! He's never forsaken! The words of God, must somehow get his attention! To give him a clear path, and a godly direction! May the love of Christ, get a hold of his heart! Coming to Jesus, is a good place to start! Whatever this brother does, or where he goes… Only the righteousness of God, can make him whole! Dear Lord… Be with my brother! That he may know you! During the journey of life, may he learn to trust you! The path of God's footsteps, gives one a true meaning! May this brother acknowledge God! And start believing! By Jim Pemberton

Diving deep, into the void, within Washing, cleansing, myself clean Trusting without expectation Letting go of, what I am familiar with Allowing the divine, infinite spirit to guide me Teaching me how to live Growing inside my heart and mind Larger than my mind's ego As I consciously shed light, upon my self created burdens Lighting up, my made up fears, my mind has believed, all these years All the mistakes I have made, now become my greatest blessings Showing me how to love, without attachment Discovering, who I truly am
What If Christ Said; "I Want Nothing to Do With You?" What if Christ said; " I don't nothing to do with you?" "You offended me!" "I know want to be with you!" What if he counted your sins, and said; "you don't measure up." "You've got me really angry." "And I'm simply fed up!" What if Christ treated us, as we treat our brother? Would there be any meaning in "loving one another?" Aren't you glad that Christ didn't give up on you? In spite of your sins and faults… He still loves YOU! Then why do we often build up "walls" as a defense? Over something that happened… We put up a fence. We often choose those whom we'll allow in. .. And those we "kick out." Is this what being Christ' example is really all about? If you insist in bringing up someone's list of wrongs… Where, in God's unfailing love, does this belong? In God's kingdom of heaven… Why should he let you in? If you can't offer forgiveness for your brother's sin? Now's the time for victory! The battle's been won! Through the cross, and the blood of Jesus, God's son! If there's someone you want nothing to do with… Look around! For where there is sin… God's grace does much more abound! By Jim Pemberton 06/02/14
Jesus Knows All About Your Pain! "It's hard to see someone I love, go through so much pain." These were the words I spoke, When I called on Jesus' name. "This person whom I love has gone through so much." "How I wish to bring my peace and a healing touch." I cried and wept as I heard the master's voice. His gift of love is for us all... it's our choice! His body was broken. A sacrifice was made. His love... For our sorrow and pain... is what he gave! His grace is more than sufficient, for the pain we often endure. His love and commitment to you, is steadfast and secure! He loves you so much!. And waits at your heart's door. He gives peace and comfort! And so much more! The pain and suffering you're going through today. Please listen to the words Christ has to say; "I am God!" "I'll be with YOU... until the end!" My love and devotion to you will never end." By Jim Pemberton
The one Robin loves is leaving Next tuesday he'll depart Then will come the grieving And all over Robin'll have to start See, he's the only one she's seeing Because she loves him oh so deeply Will Robin keep believing? Or suffer from Young Hearts? Never again will Robin see him As he'll soon be gone, gone quickly on his way And Robin'll never get the chance To say what she had to say Worse, today she heard that he met a girl so quickly As she just knew and expected that he would Now Robin can feel her Young Heart's thorns growing prickly Alone in the night she stands now, just as before, she stood Young Hearts blind to the art of it all So look outside, and watch them as they fall Burning rockets flying on passion and desire Hard into the crust of the earth, together, into hellfire But what if Robin knew that this boy loved her too, from the start? That all he wanted was to be with her forever And spend his life, with her as one, together? Oh how he too, suffered from Young Hearts And while this girl he found reminds him vaguely of Robin Every time he's with her, he can't get passed that one girl's face In the nights, these days, he always finds himself sobbing Wishing, of Robin, he had some sort of trace His world is an obsession, he sees Robin in his dreams He looks forward to the night, to be with her it seems As he creates her face, her love in his mind Just to get through, until another he can find Young Hearts so blind to the art of it all So take a look, and watch the Young Hearts fall So driven by passion and desire, yet they never make a sound Plummeting into the ocean, oh how together they drown Of heartaches lessons these two are now learning The fires of love, in their Young Hearts, start burning They're beginning to form their desires in a lover Will Young Hearts be ready for the one they'll discover?
Many call making love, from a physical reaction. As many try to find a loving satisfaction! True love can't be bought, paid, or traded This is something that shouldn't be debated! True love is from God, and freely given! His love can change the way you're livin'! Only God's love can cleanse the heart from sin! And bring true satisfaction deep within! If it's "cheap love," you seek… You can find it! But you'll end up empty, hurt and blinded! If it's true love you want. Look no more! Jesus is here... Knocking at your heart's door! Won't you let him in? And let his love touch you? He wants to do this. Because he really loves you! He loves you so much, he bled and died! In him, you can be made whole and sanctified! Won't you accept the love he freely gives? It will bless you each day that you live! By Jim Pemberton
I'll never fully understand, or comprehend. The power of God's love in the cleansing of sin! From where I was, to where I am today… I appreciate God! More than words can say. I shall give him glory and praise! And seek to worship him! All of my days! He's more precious to me than ever before! His precious love… I need so much more! His marvelous love, shall bless me to the end… For this, I say, "Hallelujah!" And "Amen!" By Jim Pemberton
I did not find myself to be so important So I ask my friends do I seem distant? When I ask the question I had received an answer, Yes So I think that made it clear that I had been not the best I am a friend of a friend that talks so many things That friend talks to much it is insane and insanity it brings I do care, about my friends they are all good people They tend to stand on their high steeple Today I find myself not so aware Disbanding my fear of regret and care Walking many different paths I see that I have found holes It is the path that people choose to use to fuel their rage with coals Coals are partially burnt wood or fossils a piece of fuel It is the source of burden and fire a rage of emotions that stands cruel It can be warm and caring, but it also can be baring I just start to feel so low, below the ground I keep on staring I reach for my friends so many times I feel so ignorant at times Just once I feel I should not rely on them when feeling I can not find I dig my hole deeper and I can not climb out For some reason I am just full of doubt I care about so many things and what I have is confusion One person should be all I should think about to get out of that illusion My battle in my heart and mind is not at all so pleasant I feel so alone in an island that is shaped like a crescent My emotions is like coinciding with a diameter of the semicircle Not a full emotion that is complete like a circle My feelings is circular full of incomplete thoughts, so much deeper I feel it will wake up my evil half a evil soul that is a sleeper What question should I ask myself? to believe that I am not so alone As I feel like a person who is deteriorating to the bone I ask my friends the same question once again I figure I should do it, to know what kind of feelings I should end So many thoughts that come out of my feeling I feel like my friends take, an emotional trauma of stealing They ask me questions and I answer theirs But when I need mine answered I feel burning inside like a flare Are they even friends when they do not take me serious in anyway Just put me in my hole cause I feel nothing in their will be getting in my way It's just so simple to answer someones problem I answer friends with beauty of a rose, but when they answer mine I get the stem I know the stem is very important in life, with out it how can a rose be a rose With a hole to put the root and stem in how can it grow The words we speak I guess is like all natural things we reap and sow
Emotion clouds logical judgment. Should I let my heart win?
You rock that style by the clothes you wear, And perhaps get married too, While some of society stops and stares, Then gives out praise to you. I wonder if we lack that patience, And, nowadays, do what others do? Has this happened to my generation? Did the media change the rules? ©2014 Honestly JT
I stand, alone. Scratching for my truths, peeling away the veneer, I stand, alone, before this impregnable cliff so sheer. Cocooned in my solitary shell, wrenching a smile from a tear, I stand, alone, a little odd, and definitely quite queer. I stand, alone.
God Said; I AM God said; My provision for you is more than enough. I'll see you through when the going gets tough. I'll give you joy unspeakable and the half hasn't been told. I am Jehovah! Your provider! More precious than gold! I am the sufficient one who's able to meet your need. Come to the table I've prepared for you... And feed! Eat of the Bread of Life that only I can give! Allow it to enrich your soul each day you live. Come and drink of my water which never shall run dry. I am the eternal one... I am El-Shaddai. I can quench your thirst in a dry and barren land. I am here for you! Give me your hand! Let me do what no other power or God can do. I am that I am! I am God.! And I'm here for you! By Jim Pemberton
give your heart to another happiness may be short lived painful memories linger irony of love
Talk behind my back, Discuss my weakness, Prove them all that I'm the worst but I'm still standing. I don't mind what You say to them. Tell them the secrets that I shared with you being trapped Within naivety. But I'm so glad I did. I destroyed my weakness, Transformed myself for now, Became indifferent. Keep being dishonest When you talk to them, Represent your lies that You prepared. I know how good it feels. You know I'm not denying Because you are ugly too.
Turn the wheel Out of curiosity I'll be generous...you'll receive Something special...something to make you whole Though the trials you must run through Are a great struggle that can easily Pull you down And I want to erase your frown You will feel way better about yourself Just trust me...take my hand... I'll encourage you to have a satisfying time Just for your own liking We'll be hiking Those somewhat difficult hardships Together for eternity We'll spend time in the future Together in unity *******he sea...Let's flee and be free! LOOK how nice you look! Trample those insufferable nuisances That dare put you down To the sea floor I'll push them to the core! Feel free to walk the Road of Recovery
In spite of what you hear, and what others tell you… There's a God who loves and will NEVER fail you! God is powerful! Much bigger than our constitution! He's more solid than any government institution! His wisdom what lays the groundwork for a foundation! Without him, we simply become a godless nation! He gives true freedom, when there's none to be found! His principles of life, are what provide a solid ground! Won't you give him a chance, in your life today? And listen to the words of love, that he has to say? His gift of salvation… You too can receive it! An everlasting life with HIM… You can achieve it! His son Jesus has brought freedom from sin! By his shed blood... You can be born again! Thank you my Lord! For the life you've given! You've never failed me! I am free and forgiven! By Jim Pemberton
Before I tramp the course of my cause, A family indeed we were, I and Kole But I short of years from the other. Only by words we keep memory of A deceased mother like morning dew Sought for by the gloaming. We knew Only a father whose right hand does The masculine labour and his left hand Undertook the feminine chore And grew us up from tendril to maturity. Nothing moves the heart as do feelings, The impression creates of a moving mountain. But with one mind accept I all that be And live a life devoid of melodrama. Behind laughter abide the trail of tears And in my tears was laughter's bare face. Work, leisure, sickness, health, joy, sadness Nothing so transporting or so flummoxing As to heave my heart off the balance of life. As an ass, it does not sigh over its burdens And the camel do not complain of thirst Through the drought of the desert. By Fate's design we lost Kole who had Found natural escapism from life in death Whereof the dead cannot forgo to return. I, left with a father I pampered and cared for Always after his heels and by his lounge And all lips hailed the good son of a father. Time takes precedence to test all values And fate takes no cognizance of kinship. Every cord has been broken by birth. Day by day is the wake of another day And again it would go back to slumber. Harmattan made the land to be bard, It would smile while the sun is out but Only to become moody with drops. Playing, gaming, travelling, interacting, Have excused the drabness of existence. Below the earth is the hue of brown And above the sky is the hue of grey. I have left my father and home into The city to make a fortune and a name For they all have queried a son cannot Always be a honeybunch to a father But must seek to be a sovereign man. Now I traverse through the fleeting land All my goods and affiliates lay aside. Being an heir, I am no heir to fleeting goods. Why throw away the bad grains And then store up the chaff? I will walk through the sands of time until I halt in my course to become sand. A father I commit to the hands of nature And goodwill of kinsmen and friends.
the more I say the more I reveal vulnerability increases exponentially
ALERT: A carpenter's son is loose in the Temple Birds flutter, animals hustle, merchants scream. The zeal for Jesus' Father's house consumes Him As the place for foreigners to pray had become a zoo. ALERT: A prophet is setting up for a Baal battle. Baal's priests even cut themselves yet no fire. After taunting, Elijah fills his altar with water. Calling on God, fire consumes and people bow. ALERT: An old man is building a huge boat ship. Without a cloud in the sky and only son's to help. When finished the animals come on call to board. Rain starts, doors close – 8 saved by holy passion. ALERT: Jesus is telling a tax collector he'll join him for dinner. Heedless of the Pharisees despising and the crowd's surprise. Zacchaeus totally changes – offering to multiply stolen money. A single sinner saved multiplies even more this holy passion. ALERT: Peter plus are preaching in the Temple again. After being imprisoned for just that, now rearrested. Whipped by the authorities, the disciples rejoice - For they've been counted worthy to suffer with Christ. ALERT: Daniel's praying openly even after it's become illegal. The royal advisers gleefully have the king throw him to the lions. Strangely they don't seem hungry till after Daniel is pulled out. So the king openly praises Daniel's God for this amazing miracle. DOUBLE ALERT: Jesus is talking to a Samaritan woman!!!! Breaking cultural barriers to share the message of salvation To her who has been married 5 times and is living with the 6th. She believes he's the Messiah and brings the town to Christ! ALERT: Paul's going back into the same town that stoned him. He's preaching again after shipwreck, jail, beatings, and such. Persecution seems to encourage Paul that he's doing the right. Passionately following the Savior who turned Him 180 degrees. ALERT: Bible translators burned at the stake for God's Word. Missionaries avoid death and disease long enough to share life. Stirring Holy Passion in receptive people who repeat the cycle. Changing cultures in bondage into those sharing Jesus' love. ALERT: What passion has the Lord put on your heart? Mine? Can we pray to see His will find its way in our everyday lives So the lost shall see, hear, find Christ and grow to share Him? Eternity is forever, this life is not. Fill us Lord with holy passion.
Love the Lord Your God! "Love your God with your body, soul and mind." The is the greatest commandment you'll find. "Love your neighbor as yourself," is number two . These commands are what is asked of you. The law, the prophets hang on these commands. God loves you! He makes no harsh demands. His death on the cross— the life that he gave. He wants your love for him and your neighbor, in how you behave. He created you to have a special relationship with him! He desires your fellowship, so you can know him! Reading his word, will give you wisdom in every task... This will give you a desire to obey him that will last. Confess all sins to him now! Your life… He will restore! Living for Jesus… Who could ask for anything more? By Jim Pemberton
What's Happening to Marriages Today? I was listening to someone just the other day… And I couldn't believe what he had to say! He had left his wife and children for another! She was young enough to be his daughter! Here they were, "in love" and holding hands! Hoping to soon, get their "wedding bands!" They were pretending that this was so "cool." Living now by their own "set of rules!" How sick and disgusting this is getting to be! Is this something that many can't see? God gave us Adam and Eve to become one. To bear fruit through daughters and sons! He gave us marriage as holy vows are made. Not to march in an "adulterous parade!" We are treading on very dangerous ground! Faithfulness and commitment are scarcely found! The very definition of marriage is changing! As the family unit is always rearranging! Our only hope is in Jesus! And him alone! Let's promote his love! Into our hearts and home! Let's allow his love to be our heart's glue! And bring new meaning to the words; "I love you!" May his love bind our hearts and lives together! And remain faithful to each other forever! By Jim Pemberton
The phone call went badly, again - the old arguments about ego & neglect and how you didn't love me, not really. And the weeping. At 50, she was still stuck, repeating the same accusations. "The damage, the damage you caused." She didn't want her mother to think she'd come through it unscathed. Not ever. She'd worked too hard to become something she wasn't, someone must be to blame. She was so clever, so clean, so intelligent - how could she be so unhappy? The unformed artist weighed down by someone else's baggage. When her artist/mother said: You have to work with it, use it, create with it, she howled: "Stop talking over me." It was like saying get rid of yourself. Knowing herself that well, she hardly knew what she was.
What? You Really Don't Like Me? Is there something about me, that you don't like? If you seen me today… Would you want me to "take a hike?" Perhaps it's my personality, or a habit of mine. You can't stop talking about me, much of the time. Pointing out my faults to some of the people you know… The words you say are actually eating at your soul! Instead of loving me, the way God wants you to… You bring up things about m, you're not supposed to do! Have you ever just once, took the time to pray for me? Am I someone you want to be with for eternity? STOP! And think about the damage you've already done! Begin to pour out your heart to Jesus, God's son! May he help you to really LOVE me the way he does! The cross he bore was for you and I… Whom he loves! May your thoughts about me, make your heavenly father proud! I hope to see you as we meet Jesus one day… In the clouds! By Jim Pemberton
You can breathe, but not live, You can know, but not understand, Hope, and not dream Conquer, and not build You can love, and not risk Be surrounded, yet alone, Speak, without saying a word, Lead and not follow Or Breathe and live like it is your last, Seek to understand, that you may know, Dream so that others may hope Conquer that which destroys Love, like you are loved Surround those who are alone, Speak, with a word of action
This has been another year that came and went! I often wonder, where has my time been spent? It seems like yesterday, we rang in the new year! But, very quickly, it has all just "disappeared." I think about my accomplishments, goals and dreams. Do they matter anymore? Do they mean anything? This life I have, is just but a brief moment in time. One day, I'll simply leave everything fast behind! My relationship with Christ is what really matters! Everything else in life, is just "empty chatter!" I pray that as this new year comes and goes… My relationship with Christ will continue to grow! The older I get, I'm beginning to see! I need much more of Jesus, and less of me! He is what's needed! Whatever this year holds! I need him more, as each year I grow old! With each year, that comes and passes me by… I want more of Jesus, until the day I die! He is my friend, what is certainly needed! With him in me, my life is completed! Thank you Lord for this brand new year! You are the one I'll hold ever so dear! By Jim Pemberton
We Wrestle Not Against Flesh and Blood! We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but powers in a high place! It's a battle that continues each day! It's evil vs. God's grace! There are powers of good and evil fighting for you and me! They're fighting for where your soul will be for eternity! The Bible clearly speaks of this, and makes it very clear! This world, as we know it, shall one day disappear! This battle is not ours, but a spiritual one that rages! It's been going on, since the beginning of the ages! Satan has unleashed his evil demons to run "here and there." His ultimate goal is to see you dead! HE DOESN'T CARE! Jesus came, to sacrifice his life, to purchase your soul! He loves you so very much! More than you'll ever know! If you see yourself "wrestling," against another person… Let this be a reminder to you! And an important lesson! The truth of God's word is relevant! May it speak to you today! Where there is a spiritual battle… Christ has made a way! He's made a way to flee! And accept his salvation plan! The best thing you can do, is to put you life in HIS hands! Jesus is the best reason for you to accept him! Won't you do it? Through the struggles and battle of life… He will see you through it! Please come Lord Jesus and touch us with your glory that shines! For you have already won the battle! And victory can be MINE! By Jim Pemberton Read Eph. 6:12
Now that I've become a man, I have reached a rebirth. I've discovered new realities again, And others have learned my worth. I wasn't that person before; And everyone played a solid game. They found it harder to score, When these cards up my sleeves I'd gained. ©2014 Honestly JT
Ten thousands I do not have.. Sparkling diamonds unfortunately Im not bestowed as well Big architectural design homeI don't have as well And So I have not also seen much of the world.. However.. What I do have is my family and my friends What I do have is a mind willing to learn and discover What I do have is a heart sensitive to feel and understand... What I do have is a handful experience I have loved thee.. With all that I am I did.. Though It did not end to what I want.. Still, I remained hopeful As much as, I want to give.. There's a drive I need to control.. As much as I want to show.. There's that voice saying: "careful" How can I not stop? If it can be; it might be.. How can I not go on? If I don't feel the possibility.. Between heaven and hell, it might be.. Over the sun and under the sea, maybe.. I will bravely the risk.. I will courageously seek.. Even if I'm not sure of the result.. Even if I may be place in hot waters.. I must try; I must try.. I must not quit; must not quit.. By: olive_eloi oct. 6, 2013 1:40pm
For a Little While… A hammer, a chisel, and a tablet made of stone All I'll ever need when I find myself alone It makes more sense that I would finally set you free I've held you back for too long Don't tell me you can't see A world awaits you; take a step into the light No one to hold your hand But only for a little while… I see a picture forming of you in my mind A crystal clear depiction telling me that you'll be fine What of me you ask? What will become of me? I'll fade on the horizon just as you've realized you're free Perhaps we'll meet again, if only for a little while Nothing more than friends again With nothing to reconcile; If only for a little while… A hammer, a chisel, and a tablet made of stone All I'll ever need to keep from being alone I feel it deep inside, like the turning of a screw I'm so wound up, uptight, and I don't know what to do I know the world awaits you So take a step into the light No one to hold your hand But only for a little while… The picture I see of you is forming in my mind A crystal clear depiction Telling me that you'll be fine What of me you ask? What will become of me? I would fade on the horizon just as you've realized…you're free Even, if only for a little while…
you won my heart while playing the game why did I hurt you so? Why are the people we love the easiest people to hurt?
Your lookin over burnin' knuckles into the road, There it goes, But you don't even know your destination so, With a shake of your head, On goes the trip, And a whispered three words, This isn't it. Guided by a light, Of thirty or fourty feet, But your being driven by a heart, That has forgotten how to beat. Oh No, Here we go, Another mile turns into another night, Another day to drive right outta sight, Ohhh it's a rollercoaster horror ride. When looking over burning knuckles into the road, Oh it's a roller coaster horror ride, Lookin over burnin' knuckles into the road, Your lookin over burnin' knuckles into the road, An' there it goes, But you don't even know destination so, With a shake of your head, On goes the trip, And a whispered three words, This isn't it. On it goes_ this isn't it, On it goes_ this isn't it, Your trip_ Into the unknown, While lookin over burnin' knuckles into the road, And guided by a light, An' a heart_ that has forgotten how to beat. Your lookin over burnin' knuckles into the road, Strainin eye's on a light that guides, Our way through what we dont know. Ohh it's a rollercoaster horror ride, Being guided by the lonely nights, While lookin over, Burnin' knuckles, Into the road.
We thought that moving to a place with springs, grass-field and butterflies would make it better for us, but it was all vanity; like in the city when we were complaining about overdue bills, traffic, noise and lack of privacy, we are now polluting this serene place with our petty fights - you now complain about poor roads, smelly poultry houses, dust-infested air, and extreme silence. If it is possible to move to heaven right now, I think God would kick us back to this blue ball…….. Honey, I think it's time that we change our attitude towards each other, and rekindle our passionate love, rather than moving from one place to another.....
Our love grew cold, yet we feel a flame. Is this our second chance?
Tonight, will you be my pillow? So warm, I'll not feel cold.. So soft, I'll keep to hold.. So cuddly, I want to on fold.. So precious, I'll not exchange for gold.. I will lay down for eight hours.. Or maybe even little more.. Hope your muscles will not sore.. Rather, they will be devoured.. I know I will along feel rest.. For, I'm inside a haven's love chest.. Too close not parted by inches.. So much, I don't want to miss.. By: olive_eloi 8:37pm 11/25/2013 ----------------------***
God Gives His Very Best! God loves YOU! And always gives his best! He offers his love! Why settle for less? He provides everything you'll ever need! And has given his word to direct and lead! He gave his son to be sacrificed for us! And asks us to give him our heart and trust! His son came to you may have life eternal! So that your name can be in heaven's journal! Won't you take this time, and accept him? There's no reason to refuse and reject him! Won't you allow his presence to fill you? Before the problems of life "overwhelm" you! He's God! He can do more than what you can think of! And he loves you more than any words can speak of! By Jim Pemberton
Seriousness settles in, like an old friend Seriousness spreads like a disease Infecting us, accelerating, our aging process Our youthfulness, our playfulness, slowly slipping away Our wonder in life, diminishing Seriousness leading to rigidness, pathway to small mindedness! Days and years, rolling into one Colourless, lifeless, mundane, dull and boring "What day is it?" "Don't smile or your face might crack!" Judgemental, cantankerous! Pompous attitudes, of modern day man Stubbornness and ignorance, clinging to what's familiar Seriousness, up tightness, humourless, imagination vanished, pathway to madness! The mind focused on its self created drama's Fears constantly being stimulated, from our outside world Personal insecurities, constantly being triggered, inside The past lives on, the present forgotten What was once important, now, left on the back burner Hard headed, victim orientated Righteous, self absorbed Emptiness, hollowness, helplessness Seriousness and ignorance, walk hand in hand Becoming, our best friends The vampire suckers of vitality Sucking the life, out of our personal goals and childhood dreams Lose of faith, gradually, losing our way Lost, amongst the thick of it Not knowing any different Everything becoming an illusion Seeing things as it should be In our own little universe, no one else's! Entrapment of the mind Our, personal intelligence, laying dormant Body and mind, riddled with dis - ease Heart beating hard, starving for a substance, we call love Numb, to the outside Numb, on the inside Desensitized! Going crazy! Consumed with our own self created loneliness and separation Ignorance meets insanity!
Faith is a powerful thing A source of help in times of trouble It can lift up the soul to new heights Toward the expanse of the heavens How blessed are those who find it. I was lost and alone in the world Suffering silently and without hope. Adrift in a sea of people. Plagued and tossed about by stormy seas Oppressed and burdened by a myriad of sins Weighed down and hoping to be rescued Even then, God's love broke through my dark heart Rescuing me with His Mighty Spirit Filling my mind with promises from His Word Unwavering in His Love, He saved me Lifting me out of the depths of the darkness. To live securely held by God's everlasting Arms His great Love and Holy Spirit have comforted me I have been transformed by the blood of Christ Now I am a new creation and changed forever Gone are my burdens and sorrows. He has given me life.
Man's Afflictions and God's Salvation! I've seen and heard of many afflictions! Things happen in life, that need our attention! There are things that happen that bring despair. Wondering if anyone listens or even cares! There's a God in heaven who sees what's wrong! There are many things that don't belong! Evil moves with a power and destructive force! It comes in many forms, from an ungodly source! God knows what is happening and offers a plan! His gift of salvation is freely offered to man! His ways of living are at odds with this earth! Anyone can come to Christ, and receive a "new birth!" If life's heartaches and worries are pulling you down… There's a new life for YOU! Waiting to be found! Your afflictions, for God's healing, is for you to receive! Won't you reach out to him now? And simply believe? His gifts of mercy and hope, is what HE can give! He can totally transform you! And the way you live! His salvation, for life's heartaches, is freely yours! A new life with Jesus can be true and secure! By Jim Pemberton
I Want the Goodness of Christ To Touch Me! I want the goodness of Christ to come and touch me! I need his mercy and love to strengthen me! I want the gift of his love to forgive and cleanse me! I know that he's here… And is always with me! I ask for his healing to touch my body and mind… He's so willing to help, compassionate and kind! I ask for his words to strengthen my spirit… The wisdom from his word, I want to hear it! Please sweet Jesus, come inside my life today. In everything that I do, help me to obey! I need you now! More than I ever needed a friend. You are someone that I know I can always depend! May your spirit help me to listen as you guide me… I want to be close to you, as you walk beside me! I love you Jesus! I appreciate all you're doing! I trust your wholesomeness in my life, is renewing! You're truly special and beautiful to me! You touched my eyes, that I may see! I can see the wonderful work you're starting to do. It just makes me all the more appreciate YOU! Jesus… You're all I could ever hope for and much more! Your goodness and grace makes life worth living for! By Jim Pemberton 04/04/14
UNSUPPORTED CODE We often hear this topic across our nation. Another person crying; "discrimination." In our many attempts to not discriminate. It seems like it's God that we seek to eliminate. It seems like we've come up with our own "rules." And somehow have turned into a bunch of "fools." We accept many perversions of various kinds… But God himself? We seem to close our minds! In many of our lives, we've "kicked " him out. And refuse what he really is about! The words, "In God we trust..." Our money bears it! Anything of God? We're afraid to share it! It seems like the courts almost say he doesn't exist! And have brought much confusion into our midst! As many say it's "offensive" to display a cross… Many godly values have already been lost! It's time to wake up America! And begin to see! The kind of country we're beginning to be! A country that's foundation is getting off course. Being driven by a wicked and ungodly force! Out only hope is in God! And him alone! We must invite him back into our homes! To God and his word we must hold secure and fast! He is our only hope that our country will last! By Jim Pemberton
Of what good is Beauty, without the Beast Tearing flesh fully faced, to submerge itself In identity found, within human mind. A bulwark built to feed darkest desire, Hiding behind Thought, and from which we shoot, Slaying Love, in the battlefield cross fire. A mirrored refraction of life, seen cracked, Through lens attuned solely to oneself, With arbiter's cloak clutched tight, to throat. Is not Beauty built, upon the Beast's face, Are they not one, and the same, in Death, And we, who breathe them, to miserly Life.
Please Touch Me, Lord Jesus! Please touch me, Lord Jesus! I need you! I come now, because I want to be with you! Bless me with your presence! I patiently wait! I need your now! Before it's too late! Touch my life with your Holy Ghost' fire! Move me with a godly passion and holy desires! Come now! And bring a revival within! Show me your ways! And cleanse me from sin! Thank you my Lord! For doing what you do! I am so honored and blessed to know YOU! By Jim Pemberton
Do You Listen to What God Has to Say? As I often watch the daily news. I hear about different stories and different views. I can't help but to wonder when some complain. Anything of God, many want to "contain." Many of people's thoughts bring a concern... When it comes to God's word. They have "their backs turned." While often, they speak of "tolerance" in their living... Only what they want to believe... Is what they are giving. This isn't a picture of "doom and gloom." But a "day of reckoning" is coming so very soon! God's word... Will you choose to ignore? When he comes knocking, at your heart's door? What will you believe, when God calls your name? Will you come to him? Or simply complain? You'll be by yourself at God's judgment day. When your name is called. What will you say? God's says: "My love for you will never end." Allow his word to guide you... And to be your friend! By Jim Pemberton
A Backslidden Brother… I have a brother, who once loved God and his word! It was God's call on his life, that he once heard! He was raised in church and taught God's ways! And promised to serve him all of his days! But, as he grew older, he began to really doubt. What God's purpose of salvation was about! He began to deny the power of the cross. And refused to believe that ANY were lost! He twisted God's word, into his own meaning! Very soon, m any lies, he was now believing! He wrote to friends about his new found belief. He had a new found storytelling with no relief! How did this brother turn from God so fast? Why does he believe these lies? Others asked! As time went by, this brother became confused… It was him, not God, who slowly began to lose! In a matter of time, his life began to "fall apart." As deception slowly crept into his stubborn heart! God's truth, that he rejected, can set him free! And turn his life around! For all eternity! We all need to love and serve God from within! And accept his total forgiveness of sin! God's word is true! And will never be put to shame! May we NEVER forget the power in his name! By Jim Pemberton
Do We Share the Hope Christ Gave Us? The Bible says to "give reason of the hope within us." But too often, we drag a lot of weight beneath us! Christ wants us freely to share his hope with others! We need to willingly share his love with another! How will others have hope? Unless we share it? Christ told us to pick up our cross, and bear it! We need to be his example, in the world's madness! We need to do it from a heart of joy and gladness! We needn't be ashamed of the work God has done! All glory and honor should be given to his son! He gives joy unspeakable! And the half hasn't been told! May we be an expression of his joy! Both young an old! Let's bless the lord! In what we say and how we live! He's patient with us! And so willing to forgive! Please come Lord Jesus! And take self pride away! Bring your holy conviction, and give us the words to say! This may seem odd! And to many… Old fashioned! Stir our hearts to share with a godly compassion! Please come Jesus! And stir our hearts, from within! That we would love to tell others about YOU! Our best friend! By Jim Pemberton

Sometimes I like to pretend, things never came to a end. But over time, our love became a crime. I didn't know what we had, would ever end so bad. But then I knew things weren't right, when we started to fight. Now I walk down memory lane all the time, the pain is worst then committing a crime. We only caused eachother pain, but we were eachothers maine. I thought things would be alright, but I cried alot that night. I don't want things to change, without you my life is strange. You said you wanted me so much it started to hurt that you couldn't wait, now im just another person you hate. When you said you didn't care, I knew the person I loved was no longer there. You aren't the same, the new you is lame. We both fell, now it's hell. You use to always be here for me, like family. But now your nowhere in sight, things aren't right. Empty is all that I can feel, I still can't believe this is real. I didn't mean to let you get away, I didn't know what to say. Am i with the right guy, or am i telling myself a lie. I was afraid to loose what we had, but to you that choice was bad.
I May Not Be Here Tomorrow! When tomorrow comes, I may not be here! This life I have… Could just disappear! I may think of this world as my "sanctuary." But my life down here, is just temporary! Life just passes me by, and goes by fast! I can think of many things done in the past! But the past is gone by… Tomorrow's another day! What am I going to do? What am I going to say? I don't know about the future, or what it may bring. Life has it's way of bringing good and bad things! I'm going to look to Jesus and give him my trust! Living daily for him... I shall try! I must! Jesus holds tomorrow in the palm of his hand! Everything about me... He already understands! HE shall be here tomorrow! Till the very end! He's somebody I can give my life to! And depend! I come to you Jesus! For comfort and delight! I know that with you, everything will be alright! Life may not turn out the way I expect it to be! But Jesus will take care of it all! Most assuredly!

Love is an unspoken form of maschism And it's slowly killing me inside. Each minute of silence A lost beat of my heart. My ribs are all knives now Stabbing my flesh and making it bleed. My heart feels vast, hollow Cold, Like a hundred story skyscraper- its residents packed up and left suddenly with out so much as a note on the door And their rent unpaid. And each day my skin screams and tries to escape my body and I saw at it with broken glass in an attempt to set it free but I can't. I am trapped. And our love is the five ton anchor pulling me beneath the waves. Our love is the air bubbles frothing from my mouth and the cries of my lungs as they are filled with the sea. And our love is the smile on my face that doesn't dare fade despite the pain. Our love is the hope that soon I won't need to breathe. That the chains will break and set me free To wash ashore with the millions of others and watch them stand up and brush the sand from their hair and turn to bask in the sun's embrace. Our love is what breaks my legs, keeps my back to the sun and my eyes locked on the dark waters in the hopes that you will emerge and grasp my hand and help me stand! Our love will starve me And burn me And deprive me of sleep. I will die for our love before I leave this shore without you by my side. And maybe, Just maybe,k I can smile for once without the pain.
Who are and who is my friends or acquaintances, confusing everyday but today I have found my self to walk a path that is not so rough I became so blinded to have friends that it pains me anyway They take a simple kindness and think that I am not tough so by deliberately challenging me to act like nothing happens I grow bold Wake up you! and all the rest, I have something to say I don't like this feeling of regret or sorrow so please do not take me cold as a friend you should know to not take advantage of my kindness in away A storm is blowing inside my soul burning a hole in it so lightning is striking in methods unknown for in the distance thunder you hear Some of the greatest warriors fall with great weapons of bow antics that slaughters such feebleness as cowardices use an unseen spear To let one know that your feelings are clear do not hesitate to do so shows fear and that is one thing that can determine your choice With kindness in your corner you should easily win and that will be great! In the end you can hold up a drink with friends and smile and rejoice

The Sieve of Time Cast ashore, along the banks of time, whirling through the passing years, clinging to my futile scribbles set in rhyme, Cast ashore, thrust into an unrehearsed pantomime, clenching slivers of joy as weariness descends, lulled into a peaceful slumber exhilaratingly sublime. Cast ashore, hazily adrift, a dandelion seed on the wings of time, trapped in the sieve of spiralling memories, caught between pristine bliss, and reeking slime. Cast ashore, flung aside for no discernible crime, my human heart thuds with elusive hope, though battered, bruised, and covered in grime, I stagger ashore, alone, embracing each moment of detached, oblivious time.
There's a healing Jesus! He's alive today! He's here now! And can take all sickness away! There's a loving Jesus! He can cleanse your soul! He is more faithful, than you will every know! There's a merciful Jesus! He can change you within! By his blood, you can know you're born again! There's a powerful Jesus! He alone reigns supreme! He's the alpha and omega! And can do anything! There's a gracious Jesus! He's so loving and kind! His dedication to us all, has stood the test of time! Won't you come to Jesus! And receive him too? He's knocking at your heart's door… Waiting for YOU! Won't you experience Jesus! And all he has to give! He can make you a new person! Each day that you live! By Jim Pemberton

For his mercy and love! He's my protector and shelter from heaven above! By Jim Pemberton
Without you, worn down, weary, staggering into tomorrow, dissolving my todays, grim, dreary, I crawl, slipping out of my skin, flinging laughter, joy, contentment, into the gaping abyss of life's dustbin. Without you
Man's Confusion and God's Redemption! God's wrath is revealed against all ungodliness… Neither will he put up with man's unrighteousness His truth has already been given unto all men… And his love has been shown unto them. The invisible things of God, from creation, have been seen… Being understood by men. From HIM… who's made everything. Many haven't glorified him or thanked him for his creation.... And many have become foolish in their vain imaginations! Professing themselves to be wise, many have become "fools." By not obeying God. But living by "their set of rules." Changing God's glory to that of corruptible man. Many have brought a great darkness throughout our land. God has given them to uncleanness that abounds in their hearts... While many have burned in their own lust. Right from the start. Worshiping the creature(not creator). Has given a new direction… And has caused in many hearts. A deep "spiritual infection." Women and men leaving their God given affection in lust of each other. Have changed God's true design and purpose of one another. As God has given so many over to a reprobate mind… Many continue in shameful acts of just about every kind. Without an acknowledgment for God in each of our lives... We'll continue down a "deep spiral" filled with so many lies. God is our only hope. His gift of eternal life is freely given. Why not let him be the God of the way your livin'? By Jim Pemberton 05/28/1 (Read Romans 1:18-32)
Those Distant African Nights... 1. The shadows swayed in your candlelit room, a cool breeze teasing your bare back, streaks of lightning forked in the Johannesburg night, as my hands stroked your hair, kissing your soft mouth, holding you, ever so tight. 2. You whispered that you loved me, and I kept silent, the rain fell, shadows danced, thunder rolled, the breeze teased your naked back, you whispered that you loved me, as my lips found yours, the rain washed over our tender nights, lightning and candlelight, etching poems on your burnished skin, yet, a fear gnawed at me, deep within. 3. We parted ways, and you could never forgive me, you said, now, after numberless thunderstorms, the rain that falls, echo the countless tears that I have shed. 4. You are long gone, far away, happy, I pray, yet the memories persist, those precious moments shall never, ever, like the Jo'burg rains, trickle away, and I wish you well, for loving me as you did, for it was I who was not worthy, then, and it is I who is not worthy, now... 5. You were always true, it was I who always, always, refused to, to give myself, completely to you.
I Once Loved to Tell Others Of Jesus! I once told others of Jesus! As a young boy... Witnessing for Christ, Is what I enjoyed! I told others of a time to repent... I loved to talk about Jesus, wherever I went! As the years went by, And I grew old. The things of God, I had no longer told. A coldness in my life, began to brew. Even God's word… I no longer knew. I only talked about God to people in the church. In my heart, was a hunger for a new search. A search to return to Jesus! My lost love! I fell on my knees! And cried to God above. I began to confess, to God, everything! A new love for him I knew he would bring. I began to feel his love come all over me. The chains were now gone! I was set free! If a coldness for Jesus dwells in you. Remember his love is faithful and true! Please come to Jesus! And be cleansed within! And experience the joy of being born again! By Jim Pemberton
The Preaching of the Gospel Is An Offense! Scripture says the preaching of the gospel, is an offense to the lost. Christ' followers should share HIS news! No matter the cost! It seems like many in church are walking in a spirit of fear. Many would just rather live a life that's "happy and secure." "Why tell others of God's salvation?" This may offend! Why, it may even cost them to lose one of their "friends!" Many don't know enough of God's word to share to another. They have a hard enough time loving their sister or brother! God help us! For the many who Who claim to be Christ' believers! Many have listened to the lies of the great deceiver! Rather than being the person to preach the gospel this hour… Many don't seek the Lord's wisdom, strength or power! Ball games seem to have replaced a need for prayer… Why witness to the lost? Is there anyone who cares? It's no wonder why we live in a confused generation. As many families don't have Jesus as their foundation! The gospel of Jesus Christ is the best news around! It needs to be spread to every city, village and town! May we all be stirred to preach the good news today! And be stirred with the words that Christ has to say! Whosoever will, come and drink of the life he gives! And live by HIS gospel! Each day that we live! By Jim Pemberton 09/18/13
Stumble On last bottle of wine from last night With talks Of two glasses Smashed within your lips With ugly box of chocolate Bits Bought By your private Secret agent which in keeping- secret lover But you know So you; lucky Tours Of Paris And Eiffel tower Not felled In temptation With your affairs Of last Night In affairs Tall the city Bright- this city Paris
My heart is beating with upbeat delight You astound me…in every shape and form My spirit is dancing with unbreakable might You surprise me…when you take my hand And pull me outtah my jail-like dorm And He dismisses me from my solitude… My eyes are glistening with bliss… And I'm far from my demise… Only to find that there's no need to feel helpless Why do you spoil me rotten with your fatherly affection? Just protect me from any harm Let me make my own decisions… To see the results in the long run You prize me as if I'm cherished like your carefree child You don't understand – I'm TOO foolish and wild I haven't even reached to full maturity But how eye hope to see myself grow and be set free From the world's mayhem Is there a solution to this problem? And I'm left with no answer… My eyes are eager to see…another bright day And the night is coming to haunt me… I find myself slowly disappearing from sight… When will God give me a purpose to fight? When will He feed me His awesome might? Just support me…especially during my downfalls Please answer my calls! And I'm left to venture off into His path… Eye can't escape my terrible nightmares Consider my calls of acceptance…my grief weighs a ton Let me pour forth my tears – Do me a favor and cast away my fears Steer me away from disorder and confusion Eye can see you're making great progress You're heading towards a brighter, superb future… My eyes No longer witness oblivion My eyes Looks beyond the earthly pain… bEyOnD the affliction I spot a rope in the distance. . . . . Push aside the waves…and let me Grab it this instant! God feeds me His love…and treats me Like a newborn infant! Eye see my Father with brand-new eyes I feel rare content And I feel hardly any resentment Eye cherish that REMARKABLE moment
I Don't Want to Forget You, Lord! Lord Jesus, I don't want to ever forget about you! I just want to take some time, to praise you! During my life, I want the past behind me! When I was struggling… It was you that helped me! The many times you listened to my cries… I knew you'd help me! I didn't know why! I want to cherish the promises you made. I want to enjoy this life, that you gave! I want to remember the times we've had together! I don't want to leave you! Now… Or ever! I want to think about the good times, that we've had! You brought joy to my heart! I am so glad! I want take each day and keep "moving on." I know that you are with me… All the day long! Thank you Jesus! For the times you've been there! Always a friend I need! Who truly cares! An abundance of life, is what I received! That moment I trusted you, and began to BELIEVE! By Jim Pemberton
What's Done In Secret… Will Come Out In The Open! I've read God's word, and it's clearly spoken… What's done in secret… Will come out in the open! I've been guilty of this, too many times! I never thought of it, to really be a "crime?" "Nobody's watching" was the thought pondered… As my mind began to "explore and wander." It didn't take long for my life to go "off course." By a powerful wind of temptation's force! No matter how many times I took time to pray… This "secret" held on, and wouldn't go away! I went to church on Sunday and prayed and cried. This "secret" remained, no matter how hard I tried! God told me, I was to give up what surrounded me! This was hard to do, but God was there to help me! Many things I thought I needed, to give me pleasure… Didn't fulfill the love that God gave! An eternal treasure! As each day passes on… I want to humbly confess… I'm giving my life to God! He'll take care of the rest! May the Lord Jesus stir a deep passion within… May it be my desire to be more like HIM! God is the God of yesterday, today and tomorrow! I've no secrets with him! No more shame or sorrow! Jesus is the Lord of lords! And the King of kings! He's my lord and savior! My everything! By Jim Pemberton
God Knows About Tomorrow! I don't know what tomorrow will bring! But I know that God will take care of everything! God has promised to take care of me! He promises to always love me! If tomorrow brings uncertainty! God will always be my security! HE holds today and tomorrow in his hands! Everything I go through… He understands! Whatever I face, I don't face alone! God is with me! When I'm away, or at home! I'm reminded in the days ahead… God's children aren't forsaken! Nor begging for bread! By Jim Pemberton
Jesus Gave Me His Love! I Gave Him My Life! I wanted to have my own way. God told me not to do it. I figured that through the problems of life… I can do it! I was proud of myself. For all that I had accomplished… But the empty feeling I had inside. Could be replenished! I looked at what I had done for my family and others. I was there to help out for my sisters and brothers. For all the money I spent, and the time I had given. Couldn't bring the peace I hoped for, in the way I was livin'. I cried out to God one night, and spent some time in prayer. I began to doubt he would listen, much less be there! But at that moment, when I cried out in desperation. Christ spoke to my heart, and gave me an invitation! An invitation to join him! And accept his salvation plan. As he spoke his words to me, I began to understand! I accepted the hope and love and peace he extended. Very soon afterward, this savior I had befriended! I'm not disappointed by my choice and decision! He totally changed my life with his loving precision! His blood cleansed and brought true peace within! By his mercy and grace, I became born again! I bless your name oh Lord! For all you done for me! You came to where I was, and blessed my life abundantly! This life that I gave to you, I'm not disappointed! I've been blessed by God's holy one and anointed! You are that I could ever hope for! And all I have needed! With you in my life now… My life has been completed! By Jim Pemberton 05/17/14
I start to discover and explore.. I have known someone by worldwide end.. We start to chat.. exchanging informations witout VAT or Bath.. How could i know will be this close.. Sensitive enough to feel.. In high or low pitch tones.. In mere exchange of words.. sometimes, no need for much words.. sometimes, no need for much a do's.. though in thousand miles, never has a chance to meet: eye to eye.. though in rows of months, never once has a chance to talk front a front.. There is that chemistry, between negativity and positivity: a neautrality, .. There is that binding faith, between Islam and Christianity: a desire for love.. Who can ever tell.. Who can ever judge.. Unexplainable.. Undeniably, just amazing... deeper than the oceans depth.. higher than mountaintops.. precious as like diamonds.. longer than sands of time.. we are friends.. F - R - I - E - N - D - S.. by: olive_eloi 4:02pm 23/10/2013 dedicated to: friends
Love always requires a sacrifice often unpaid by weary hearts. Flickering sparks don't change the world. Instead, love is an unquenchable fire that destroys not sorrow but rather selfishness. It is not for the romanticism of death, but for the hardships of life. Love is not lost through change but people unable to endure the pain it brings. It is not gained by bribery of the heart, but by choice of the soul. Love is not satisfaction of desire, but setting yourself free to live. Hold your tongue and unstop your ears. Shut your eyes and open your arms. It's not too late.
As the threads were sorted, knots undone The sun shone, I was blessed by warmth A smile, love in your eyes, Me Benches line our path, Rest a bit, Between pilgrimages, we chat Enjoy the quiet, peace be with us The river runs, Past obstacles Flow and float, rays of love, Dreams All are blessings, a cornucopia Thanksgiving, always For what was, what is, what will be Serenity is infinite in these moments I wonder do you feel it? Unknotted threads, woven into Our lives, one to another Patterns develop with love We are older images are clearer Smiling now, it is us, shades of light and dark We hear the strings as they hum, warp and weft A tapestry continually growing with color
I'm hoping for my dreams to become a reality I'm hoping for a phase of gratitude I'm rejecting my hopeless fate I'm accepting your side of the story…but don't intrude Unexpectedly, I believe in love in first sight I grab the rope for extra support It burns like a vertical line of fire I'm unable to climb, but I seem too far from my desire I'm sliding down the rope, hanging from heaven They're distraught by my absence They're cheering for me from down below I'm sliding down… I cherish you like my own belongings I designed you on my bedroom wall I have you displayed deep in my heart Believe me – you'll never split it apart Every day I long for your touch – you changed my life around My heart is blazing like the zealous sun…I prize my freedom and progress The world is spinning endlessly as I kneel upon my knees And I imagine the memories we share with each other I'm sliding down the rope, hanging from heaven They're distraught by my absence They're cheering for me from down below I'm sliding down… When I reflect upon the joyous times, My heart never fails To pound vigorously for you I'm sliding down I'm looking forward to spending the rest of my life with you I see the light in your eyes I don't see an insidious nature in you… I wish I hadn't believed in the lies I never felt like a hopeless victim until I gave in to the darkness I'm sliding down the rope, hanging from heaven They're distraught by my absence They're cheering for me from down below I'm sliding down… I'm glad I've met you in the first place We're a perfect match – Don't deny it…you made me feel handsome We're on the road of victory We're making great progress We're hanging on the edge, But we were rescued From sliding down… At least we're kept ourselves alive……
God Gives the Strength I Need! God gives me strength, through his wonderful joy! As his word in my life, I daily employ. His love brings sweetness, to my very soul! And gives my comfort! Wherever I go! His love brings contentment, this world could never give! It sustains me every day that I live! In HIM, I'll take delight! For he is with me, each day and night! From everything evil, may I daily abstain… And live in the power of Jesus' name! In Jesus, my life is complete! As I leave every burden at his feet. Over the trials of life… I'll rise above! Resting in God's strength, and his love! By Jim Pemberton
I won't be happy with my life, until… I live in accordance with God's will! I need to seek his will, in all that I do! All that I face in life… He'll see me through! His will is the best design, that's in place! He designed me, because of his grace! Seeking the will of Jesus, gives a peace of mind! And helps me to be successful with my time! Serving HIM gives my life a true meaning! It's in HIS direction, that I need to be leaning! HE is what true joy and peace are about! He knows my life! Both inside and out! Thank you dear God, for being with me! It is no secret how much you love me! You are have come, to nourish my soul! By your will, I'm complete and whole! I bless your name! Forever you are praised! I shall seek your will! All of my days! By Jim Pemberton
Man and woman, pledging no more to be single Bride and groom, excited that their lives would mingle. Husband and wife, in love, with hopes and dreams aglow We were married at the chapel, thirty years ago.
I got my Teddy on my first Christmas Day, And ever since then in by my side he would stay, He would travel with me whilst out in my pram, And accompany me on both train and on tram, Off to the shops, or to visit my Nan, And so our adventure together began. Together we've seen the castles in Wales, And crossed the sea under square rigger's sails, Danced at a céilidh in a Glaswegian Hall, Passed through the Schwartzwald and seen Berlin's wall, Siberian lakes and Moscow's Red Square, And wherever I went you'd find Teddy there. As I grew older my Ted was still there, And although he no longer would go everywhere, At the end of the day, when I'd rest my head, My bear would be waiting for me in my bed, And together we'd cuddle throughout the long night, Until we'd be woken by soft morning light. Now courting a boy with a stuffed toy in toe, Can become quite the embarrassment, so, Of Teddy's existence I chose not to tell, Until I got to know my boyfriend well, But when I eventually did choose to share, I discovered my love had his own Teddy Bear! Now that twenty eight years have gone by, His fur has worn through and he's losing an eye, But you'll never believe the things that we've seen, Or all the wonderful places we've been, No other toy on Earth can compare, With my tatty and tired old bear!
If I Give God Everything… If I give God everything, what have I to lose? He's been calling me… I don't want to refuse! I need to give HIM control of everything I do… He promised to change and make me brand new! I must confess and humbly come before him! I need to take the time, to love and know him! I'll try to give him, all of my burdens and troubles. He's there to pick me up, when I fall and stumble! God is merciful! And is waiting with open arms! His arms of love, will shelter me, from all harm! As I give God what I have, I know I need more of him! I need to experience Jesus' blood to cleanse my every sin! I'm so thankful and grateful for all that he has done! I shall praise and worship Jesus! God's precious son! I Praise you father! I bless and honor your name! As I give you my life… I am forever changed! By Jim Pemberton
She tries to weed out his doubts, but he cannot heed. He demands a baby boy, yet she is not a goddess to change their baby's sex. She tells him that if there was a certain way people made love to get baby boys, or if she had the psychic abilities of choosing a sperm that that would fertilize her ova into a male zygote, she would be glad to give him one.
The Glory Of Jesus Is Very Real! The glory of Jesus is very real! Behold the lord God of Israel! The wonders of Jesus can be seen! It was he that created everything!

The words of Jesus can set you free! What he can do for you, he can do for me! Now is the day of salvation! This is the time! This is offered to all of mankind! The glory of Jesus can bless you today! Please come now, with no delay! Allow the presence of Jesus to strengthen you! He's here right now! And wants to help you! By Jim Pemberton
They Left so Abruptly (for the countless South Africans, of all colours, who dedicated their lives for freedom and democracy) the valiant ones countless many known many more nameless the truest sons and singers husbands and poets lovers and wives daughters and farmers workers and sisters brothers and friends they left so abruptly with quiet pride steely courage gentle dignity they left so abruptly leaving us our tomorrows brighter hopeful filled with promise they left so abruptly so that we may breathe the breath of liberty the air of freedom the warmth of justice they left so abruptly leaving with us their parting gift freedom inkululeko swatantrata liberte azadi vhudilangi libertad they left so abruptly yet we remember them all today in the days that slipped away and in the many more that we await they left so abruptly yet they remain hewed into our memories etched in our consciences engraved in our hearts they left so abruptly and yet they endure with us within us now and forever more
Do You Seek God's Holiness? There are many in church That don't seem to be concerned... Holiness in their lives must be learned. Many attend each Sunday, and go to every class. But outside church, their spiritual life burns out fast. Many think they're doing fine and "o.k." As long as they give money and sing and pray. They listen to God's word, and read the verses... You can see their Bibles under their purses! A sense of excitement stirs each Sunday morning. But many fail to heed God's somber warning. Without holiness, no one shall enter God's throne. If Jesus came today... Many would left alone! God knows the heart of man is wicked deep within. That's why Jesus said: "YOU MUST be born again." Be separate from the world's wicked and sinful ways. "Be ready for my coming" is what Jesus says. At God's house, his divine judgement shall start. Live for Jesus NOW—love him with all of your heart. Keep this important thought in mind. If he came now... Would you go? Or be left behind? By Jim Pemberton
You whispered in my ear, a breathy secret, hushed. "I love you", you murmured. I said nothing, lost, in your arms, I found a home. At last. "I love you", you said, I said nothing, lost in my thoughts, I found peace. At last. "I love you", you said, words failed me then. They still do.
I watched the love of two hearts crushed today, So much pain and sadness there was nothing to say. For so very long the writing was on the wall, For some reason it just was not noticed at all. Oh how the blame seems to be everything and everyone, Not for a moment do they realize what they have done. The sarrow they feel is so hard for them to conceive, Don't want to face the truth and they will never believe. Only themselves to blame and that's going to be awhile, Before either of them will find a reason for them to smile. Broken hearts and thier worlds have been torn apart, Makes me wonder will they know how to make a new start. Nothing good ever comes from so much deceit and lies, To see no trust or faith just makes me want to cry. It's not really their fault so young and without any clue, May be years before they learn how or what they must do. WE can only pray for them that they will find their way, The happines and joy they deserve will be found on that day. I watched the love of two hearts being crushed today, To see so much sadness , there's not much anyone can say. TAC
Sounds to me I'm deaf Cant hear the murmur any more A thousand sounds a day I know Only I can not hear it if they show The gaining of quiet stance Bitter sweet the silence I could just not hear you anymore I understand you sounds to my core Found myself straining to listen Only to hear a blank shot angrily hasten When we come to sound out loud This is when I can face this crowd Till then--- Sounds to me I'm deaf Cant hear the murmur any more
Oh Yohannes I must be honest I've got a jones for you And when I saw you, I remember the sun reflecting rays of light on your skin so bronze, so peaceful, so simple I wanted to tell you all my secret desires and temptations and kiss you and hold you close and when I realized I was dreaming and that this feeling was a hoax I began to be led astray by sexual desires and thoughts of foul play but in the meantime I have fun with the fantasy of imagining you beside me I stay up countless nights thinking about how we could defy gravity and how we could somehow reverse all the laws of sanity and just do something crazy I can't make it stop I must be crazy And when my eyes closed... I wanted to fall in your arms and tell you about all the fantasies that were created in honor of you And tell you how your eyes seem to remind me that it's okay to be beautiful Oh Yohannes I must be honest Your deeply rooted stare will long remain a part of my fire and my insanely human desire to make love
Describe the way life was meant to be Cuz every day just melts away To anything It's been a while since I think I've seen The way I saw before the flaw I've come to be Another cloud, another Christmas tree Another chance gone by, another teardrop cry For anything And looking back at how it used to be Can't help but wonder why, you and I Turned out to be But hear my voice Take the words I sing Lift the notes up high Pretend you want to try To be with me Yes, hear my voice Hear these songs I sing Try to understand You'll never see the man You want in me So… Describe the way life was meant to be Cuz I don't want to tip toe dance Through everything It's been so long since I think I've seen The smile upon your eyes, blue crystal skies And memories And how it hurts to think the things I think Another word not said, another beat gone dead Yeah little things And thinking back on how it used to be Well I don't want to tip toe dance Through everything So hear my voice Hear these words I sing Cuz I don't want To tip toe dance Through everything Oh hear my voice And hear the songs I sing ...Jeff Bresee
Divorce Isn't Always A Good Choice! I met a person who's been married for many years. When he talked to me, he was in tears! He was faced with the option of divorce! And now, he feels his life is driven "off course." His wife said she's through. She's "all done." And doing things which seemed "fun." Beyond each day and the circumstance… Does this marriage even "have a chance?" Why do people seem happier when they're apart? Far too often, this ends up in a broken heart! Too often, people "give up" on what they believe! But it's so many lies, is what they receive! I spoke to this person, of God's purpose and meaning! Into God's loving arms, is where he needs to be leaning! When life changes, and marriage seems to have failed you… Jesus is here! And wants to put his arms around you! There's hope and answers to all of your problems! You'll find the answer in God's word! HE can solve them! The best choice for you is to come and trust HIM! Give Jesus your life! Come now and love HIM! All he needs is for you to give him an invitation! He'll change you! And make you a new creation! His love can do what no other power can ever do! He'll bring new meaning in the words; "I LOVE YOU!" By Jim Pemberton
THINKING OF YOU I saw you before walking slow in the aisle clothed in peach and wearing a godlike smile Your grace like the empress of Greece and Nile Spelled by heaven to color this world drown in vile Thousand facets that rose to curl along the coldest mile is now the Belle that sobered this wordless guile Love swarms, love warmth roll in the aisle of wile I, a being thirsty to drink from your lips because sanity cascades in honest weep, heart and soul have fallen fast and deep. Good to cry, so I try yet still, sometime it creeps All I can do is to blow dreams of you as I sleep hoping in yonder you would stare though quite steep then lend me please to savor your Aphrodite kiss Could my love be as real as your unsober grace? And if eyes and hearts desire such tempting face More so a name ruling the entire human race... God helps this dreamer, to the heaven I kneel and gaze I, a man who yearns nothing but heaven's ways Pardon me if these words draws like a maze yet, let me deliver for my heart is chaste Evening skirt and so I dream caressing your skin Mercy oh mercy, I do not want to fall into sin yet, I long to embrace you tight in more than dreams Set free those lips of butter and cream then allow me to show some places unseen into a garden of bliss tinge not of mind green... Let the brown horse through, the waters and swim Now, I ran out of words for the wind dashing sways behind may I say you could leave a man in thousand fray A chance I dare ask for us so not to be dismayed more time with you my ever longing say. God makes the way when it seems there's no way and if Cupid's arrow again miss the right pair may tomorrow bring me more courage than today... _________________________________________________ O.E.

Taking suggestions especially on this poem. This is a first draft and I like it, but I don't have time to edit at the moment. Thank you! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The two ghosts dance through the barren forrest, leaving footsteps to be pondered about by the man who owns the land in the morning. Howls and Screams and Laughter and Love fill the dewy dark sky. The two, lovers in death, never knowing of the truth, that their lives were taken Snowfalls before, being murdered in these woods, their throat slits and their bodies mutilated, No one knew who they were. But here they are again, running through the spindly trees, taking in the scenes of their eternal winter. He takes her hand, leading her to an opening in the trees, a perfect circle, no light insight but the stars above, so beautiful, so prominent. Theres not a place in this town better than this to see the future amongst the stars. They came here that day, tent in one hand, telescope in the other; their thoughts in the air. They were seventeen, Seniors awaiting the approval of a diploma, They should be studying, mid-terms next week. They took a fatal break, spent the night together, only belonging to each other. The ghosts; who's sight doesn't recognize the spot of their demise. They sit on top of a large smooth stone, Left their by the world in it's hurry. They gaze upon the stars, waiting for the world to reveal itself. The screams and wails and love still permeate the air. They fell asleep in each others arms, and so they never heard the footsteps, the drunken laughs of men full of sin, ready for some action. They found the tent, they killed the innocent souls, but instead of leaving they bodies, they left the ghosts, taking the bodies and depositing them in the freezing lake. They then sat upon the rock, laughing about the deed done, passing out in the deadfall of snow. The transparent lovers jump to the snow, throwing themselves down to sleep the night away. They cuddle, protecting each other from the snow, the danger, the truth. The smile, and with one last scream, they kiss, disappearing, merging with the snow, Part of the world, and this spot full of false truths. No longer do lively bodies wander about the woods, and the owner hardly visits. But a few times each winter, when the snow has fallen so deep, You can hear the screams, the howls, the laughter and the love of two ghosts dancing in the snow.
Won't You Allow God to Touch You? Won't you allow God to reach out and touch you? He's willing to do this… Because he loves you! Won't you take some time to really know him? In his word, you can see and read all about him. Won't you reach out in faith and believe him? Today… This moment… You can receive him! His son came and died on the cross for you! He made a way, so God can be with you! His son is here now! And calls your name… By his shed blood, YOU can be changed! His son, Jesus, is alive with resurrection power! He's coming very soon… This could be the hour! Please come and experience HIS touch within... And know what it really means to be born again! Please accept his heavenly sent invitation. And receive his gifts of mercy and salvation! This awesome God is patient and very kind… Won't you come to him? While there's still time! By Jim Pemberton 04/23/14
She She smiled, gently, her warmth infusing me, with a serene stillness of time. She settled, slowly, in my waking thoughts, a soothing balm of simple joy. She remains, scribbled, on the walls of my fractured heart, memories of happiness that once breathed...
Thank You Jesus! Thank you Jesus, for making my life complete! You've blessed me, from my head to my feet! Thank you Jesus! For you mercy most fare! And for keeping me in your love and care! Thank you Jesus! For your wonderful love! And for your peace… Like a very gentle dove! Thank you Jesus! For all that you've done! All praise and honor, to God's risen son! Thank you Jesus! For this, and so much more! You're the way to heaven! The only door! Thank you Jesus! For listening to my prayers! You're willing to help! And always there! Thank you Jesus! You brought me hope! Just when it seemed I was on a slippery slope! Thank you Jesus! For forgiving my every sin! I humbly come before you! My lord and friend! I love you Jesus! You've blessed me today! Whatever I'm going through… You'll make a way! I worship you Jesus! And I bless your name! I'm so glad you're here! I'm glad you came! By Jim Pemberton
Within Me Flowing through the rivulets of my everyday thoughts, memories of you surface, gasping for air, breathing in, permeating, absorbed by the pores of my ageing skin. Famished, greedily gulping mouthfuls of fractured life, awash in distant yesteryear, when your feathery kisses, banished the vacuum, dispelling my anguish and strife. You are eternally carved, and embroidered into my soul, I wash ashore, smashing against the boulders of the now, seeking solace, begging for absolution with my empty bowl. The book of fate is sealed shut, the tea-leaves have been read, nothing remains within me, the burden of smiling has been shed. Now I am stranded, between dreams and the empty years ahead, searching for forgiveness, in the miles I have yet to wearily tread.
There was a wonderful change in my life today, A sense of something good comming my way. It's been a long time comming and it's feeling right , I know this because I was able to sleep last nihgt. Loving you has always been so easy for me , Holding on to you was very different you see. Finally the clouds and stormy skies have cleared, We can see it clearly now that it is so near. For years we have struggled with this love we shared, Only recently have the two of us become so aware. Of what we truly feel for each other these days, Leaving no doubts it was meant to be this way. I love her more now then I ever have before , To think I was about to walk out that door. She loves me I can feel her much closer now , The happiness I feel makes me scream aloud. Telling everyone I have a wonderful thing, The love of my Queen who has made me her King. We will live our lives making all the memories , This love I have for you and you have for me. TAC
An Adulterous Situation I knew of a couple, involved in an adulterous situation. A person involved, claimed that he was a Christian! He told others that he wanted to tell her about the Lord… But this involvement in sin, he couldn't well "afford!" A "casual" encounter led to the marriage's destruction. Her husband was so hurt, he could hardly "function." How could this man think there's "nothing wrong with it." "It must be fine." He thought. "everyone's doing it!" Jesus has come, that we might have freedom from within! Going to church, doesn't give us a "license to sin!" God gave us marriage, as a holy and divine covenant! He gave us his word, so that our lives can be abundant! May this be a stern warning to one and all! That which may look attractive, will cause us to fall! If there's something more from marriage that you desire… Be careful! Your deep passions will burn like a fire! May I encourage you to pray and seek the Lord above! And ask him to build your marriage on his love! Only he can restore everything the enemy has taken! He'll be with you, when you may feel totally forsaken! Adultery is like a cancer cell… That will eventually destroy! It'll rob you of the many blessings, that God wants you to enjoy! What God has joined as one... May there be no separation! But a heart of unselfishness, and a renewed dedication! By Jim Pemberton
I Want to Walk with You I want to walk with you with our heads held high Never cowering, never with heads bowed With our feet on this blessed soil, and our dreams reaching for the sky Dreams of simple joys and of peace and of mirth For all our fellow travelers on this delightful earth Dreams not of wealth or of positions of high standing or of mighty power Simple dreams of a walk in the aftermath of a Johannesburg evening rain-shower Dreams of bread and water and dignity and shelter and clothes for all Dreams where all fellow travelers may together walk this earth proud and tall I want to walk with you, my fellow traveler, with our heads held high Never pandering to power, never silent in the face of its abuse Always firm in our convictions that we can all make peace if we only try If we try to stop and think and sometimes not to look the other way If we practice what our different creeds really teach, we will surely see that day When we all, fellow travelers may walk with our heads held high Never cowering, never with our heads bowed With our feet on this blessed soil, and our collective dreams reaching for the sky Call me silly, call me naive, call me hopeless, and if you must, call me weak But is this not the common good that our different creeds and cultures all seek?

Quote not the songs we hear retold, Quote not the passing of time; Quote not a verse of sound nor voice When they are lost in the winds of change For when shall a flower in brilliant red Begin to wither and die? Its fallen leaves plucked by god Then blown away as the seasons change Softly shines upon the hills and dales The suns sweet morning fair, In a new day is left those sunlit rays To the birth of another day We sense the words, to this song of life When nothing is left, but the passing of time, No verse of sound, no tone of voice Are blessed by the winds of change
There's No Greater Love Than This… There's no greater love, than to lay down your life for your brother… God's commandment reminds us to love one another! God gave us this challenge as a principle set before us. But too many times, we let things "come in between us." I can think of many situations that arise from the past. Can often cause heartaches, that continue to last. Is it really worth it? To allow hard feelings within? That cause hard feelings between your brother and friend? It's about time we try to apply God's word. And focus on God's forgiveness, that must be heard! The greatest love ever given, was Christ' death on the cross. He laid down his life for us… Whatever it cost! Let's come together and focus on what Christ gave us! No matter what we've done, he already forgave us! An example of God's love through us, must be evident. A Godly compassion in each of us must take residence! Please come Lord Jesus, and stir a compassion in our soul! And walk in your love that will make us whole! There's no greater opportunity, than the example Christ has given! May we walk as his example of love, each day we're livin'! By Jim Pemberton
In the puddles of our loving, tender life There goes a dynamic of going along Path exciting but some tears are made from strife Which creates shallow puddles within the throng Outside looking in, the heart beats of great love Shoring up a delight, just like a white dove Reflections of love lies within the puddle This water is clear and sure doesn't muddle Entrant into Gail Angel Doyle's " Reflections of Love" contest 3/1/2013
Passion in D-Major Feeling, the sensuous brush- strokes on a canvas, swirling, to a symphonic crescendo, of our shared heartbeats, fading between the notes, feeling your soft body entwined with mine, your form bathed in my infinite kisses, our orchestral desire rising, conducting a shared fusing of passion, ... the music echoing ... over the precipice, on the brink of dazzling rainbow hues, lost in the void, of an eternal instant, plunging through the depths of rhyme, pleading, forever pleading, for a prolonged, bouquet of shared time.
Has the Glory of God Left the Church? Before the next church service gets started… Should it read, on the door; "God's glory has departed? " Many come to worship and don't even know. That's God's glory left such a long time ago. Many build their Sunday experience on "past traditions." Built on man-made rules and "false expectations." They don't want to hear the gospel of holiness! "It may offend." Their pastor no long preaches on what the Bible says is sin. Some have been going to church for many years. Still looking for teachers with "itching ears." Is the true presence of God is no longer there? It's no longer found in their worship or prayer. God's judgment shall begin at this very place. It hasn't happened yet, because of his unfailing grace. If God's presence has been left from your life as well, Remember his love for you will, never fail. Seek his awesome presence each day you live! He gave his son for you! What more could he give? Won't you see his glory this very hour? And be renewed by his word and life-changing power! By Jim Pemberton
Sex and Religion Is A Must In the beginning there was dopamine Dope was the beginning of the word Is that an indication of anything? Testosterone joined in Then you had lust Religion came along And you had sin In the beginning God made man and woman Who do you trust? I guess sex is a must It gives birth to love and us So what's the fuss?
I just found out… That my friend has been hiding a secret He says that she has given him some news He didn't want me to know about it As she wanted to give surprising clues In her eyes she found me charming and cute When she told me, it was over the top I always thought her gorgeous and a beaut I don't want our first date to be a flop I cared for her immensely, a pure love I just hoped she loved me just the same way It turned out she aligned with me above She enlightened me surely on this day I just found out… That she wants to go out with me today She let me know it after work this day There's no way that anyone could delay If this happened to them, surely no way In my heart I hold her real close to me Joy to live my life with her lovingly Being as one will last now instantly And will go on till all infinity I just found out… She loves me, and one day will be my wife I love her and I will give her my life Simply a delightful piece of great charm Never a moment of fear, nor alarm My friend kept his secret, she came to me Joy of happiness is brought in what's free I showed her true love, which she did return Forever we will be married as one Russell Sivey Was going to enter into Black Eyed Susan's contest but found out that it was supposed to be 1-16 lines, I will have to reduce this poem to fit the restriction.
must you shout, yell or point a finger in me? ask, question yourself.. I know you are older than I am.. but must you do this, infront of other persons? if I don't reply back that doesn't mean: what your doing is fine.. whay your doing is respectful.. what your doing is alright... You are so proclaimed to be all perfect.. Don't you know you aren't.. for there are times I tell you.. have you admitted any of them? what you just do is reason out.. and twist the situation though its obvious.. I refuse to shout as like you do.. As when I criticize, I do it constructively.. I talk in a manner that is respectful enough.. I try to pacify things before talking much... by: olive_eloi sept. 2, 2013 9:10pm ----->>> "Criticisms makes you better or bitter.." criticisms, refers to any comments a person says to someone.. criticize constructively
God Asked; "Come Unto Me…" God called my name…. I didn't know what to expect! The words he spoke. I won't forget! What he said to me…. I remember so vividly. I woke me up in the night so unexpectedly! As I heard the words, I jumped out of bed. I wanted to hear what my Lord said. He spoke, and wanted me to follow him! I decided to obey and trust him as my friend! What he desired, was to have a servant's heart! He was there for me! Right from the start! My worldly possessions… I left behind! A new treasure in Christ… I did find! Many of my "past habits" began to leave me! As I felt God's awesome love all around me! My life and attention were now decided. Everything I needed... God provided! I chose to follow him 100 percent! Fellowship with my creator, is time well spent! He's my blessed savior and I am his! And is with me each day I live! Won't you beckon his spirit's call? Living for Jesus makes it worth it all! By Jim Pemberton
What Have I Done For Jesus??? I'm trying to remember the things I've dreamed of… There so much I haven't done, that I can think of! I'm trying to remember when I was just a young boy… There were things in life that I really enjoyed! But, as I grow older, and it's all done and said… I feel more aches and pains each time I get out of bed! This old body of mine is growing very weary and old. I don't have a lot of time, as I have been told! There's one area in life, where I've fallen short of a goal… I haven't given God a chance to redeem my soul! I suppose I've been too prideful and stubborn at best… I need to give God my life, and let him take care of the rest! Dear Jesus, I come to you now and confess my sinful ways! I accept you as my Lord and savior, for the rest of my days! Please come lord Jesus, and bring your healing deep within! Cleanse and change me, and take away all of my sin! You're what I need! And are truly my best friend! How I love and appreciate you! Again and again! By Jim Pemberton 09/29/13
Still In Love With My Wife... My son came to me with a question on his mind. I said; "Not now son— I just don't have the time." He said, "Daddy—are you still in love with Mommy?" "Do you love her like you did when I was in her tummy?" My eyes choked with tears; "Yes son I really do!" "I'm in love with her... and I appreciate you." "Daddy—will you always love me like you do mom?" "Yes my son—my love for you will always belong." I looked down and much to my surprise. There were tears running down my son's eyes. He came running to me with arms wide open. "Thank you daddy" were his words spoken. I picked him up and gave him a great big hug. As I let him down, on my shirt I felt a tug. His little arm reached up to grab my hand. I knew that what I said, he began to understand. I love his mom so much—my wonderful wife. She's been such a blessing- a great part of my life! By Jim Pemberton
God speaks peace to life's stormy seas! He brings quietness and a "gentle breeze." He calms the raging waters and says; "peace be still!" This is what he wants for you! And his will! He brings victory to the battles within… And takes away the darkest of sins! He's what you need! This very hour! He wants to do this for you! He has the power! He's our refuge! A present help in trouble! Though the oceans shake and mountains rumble! Why not steer into God's harbor of safety during this time? You'll find he is loving, caring and kind! He's is calling you now! And knocks at your door! What In the world… Are you waiting for??? By Jim Pemberton

God Wants You To Be With Him forever! Heaven can one day be your eternal home! You can have a mansion next to God's throne? You can know for a certainty… Where you'll be spending eternity. Through Christ, your sins can be forgiven! Christ' love can change the way you're livin'! You can know beyond any doubt. What true life is all about! You can know the peace of God today! Meditate on God's word and what it has to say! Why not give your heart to him? And know what it means to be born again! Your life can have a Godly direction! And accept his heart-felt invitation? You can know God's life changing power? What are you waiting for? This could be YOUR hour! By Jim Pemberton
For we as singles and couples have a tendency to pass judgement upon individuals who don't do exactly what we do for instance Individuals on the outside have a tendency to see other people kissing and holding hands and we automatically say they should get a room and/or When individuals see a man feeding a woman at dinner or at the movies then individuals have a tendency to respond with a comment of her fingers are not broken and/or that woman must have him whipped instead of embracing the fact that he is treating her like a QUEEN as she rightfully deserves. If individuals /couples realize that not everything that works for others will work for them and instead of criticizing other peoples relationship they should be taking out the time to find their own solution to make their relationship work. Be it may if every relationship takes the time out to figure out what works for them more relationships would work.
I Want to Be Where Jesus Is! Where Jesus is, I want to be with him I'll honor HIM because I love him! Into his direction I shall go… His word in my life, I must daily know. What he says to me, I must carefully listen, His will for my life, I don't want to be missin'. His love for me… I want to receive, His abundant life is what I aim to achieve. Thank you Jesus for helping me to see… I need much more of you, and a lot less of me! By Jim Pemberton
I'm going to tell God how much I love him! I'm happy to be able to tell him! I'm going to stop and pray… There's so many things I want to say! I know that God will help me! He's my friend! And is always with me! I'm going to read his word too! It gives me direction, as to what I should do! Please God… Reach down and touch me! And put your loving arms, all around me! God gave me salvation! I sure needed it! All that I need… He's already completed it! By Jim Pemberton

Jesus Christ Went Above And Beyond! Jesus Christ went above and beyond! He forgave all of my sins and wrongs! He loved me! When nothing else mattered! He picked me up, when my life was chattered! He gave me his life, when no one else could! All of my sins and failures, he understood! He's blessed me, with his love and assurance! And gave me salvation! His eternal "life insurance!" He's given me strength, and all I needed! With all that he's given, my life is completed! He rescued me from the awful pit of sin. And brought hope to my life, once again! He's given me a love, that I never had! I gave him my life! I am so glad! To Jesus… I'm forever thankful and grateful! He's my guiding light, and an awesome example! His word helps me to have victory today! And guides me, along life's narrow way! This same Jesus can do the same for you! The opportunity is here! What will you do? Friendship with Jesus! HE brings life divine! I'm so blessed, that he's a friend of MINE! By Jim Pemberton
Wishing my yesterdays had never came to pass , the lonliness that tomorrow will bring and another hard night is in sight . How my memories creep through my mind , remembering what I've lost and what was left behind. Wisdom they say comes with time,Understanding is always a good sign.Pretending I'm still that man still loving you so blind. Am I okay ? Will I be alright ?Maybe you should stay for just this one night . You have to help me now, Please stay , it will make things alright . I just need a moment to make this all stop some how , It's so important that I be heard . You'll know exactly my meaning once you've heard these words. I have turned that corner now and there's really no reason to go back. Nobody there wants to know just where I'm at . This life of mine I had given to you ,has lost the destination , a new route I must persue. With all of me I have loved you my dear this you know with out any doubt . As the hours of the night turn to morning , it's you I am without. My days begin with sadness and a smile is nowhere about , and this missing you goes on each and every day, you can hear the breaking of my heart ,that is what they all say, It's a pain so cruel and deep you can hear it breaking out loud. My empty arms are missing you and the tears I have cried , now that you are nowhere to be found. TAC
Love, a curse An emotion irremovable in our lives Pain, suffering, betrayal, and wet eyes Love, a blessing Magnifying feelings of lust and belonging Hiding faults and inspiration for improving
What This World Can Never Give… What this world can never give, is life eternal! Jesus can guarantee your name, in heaven's journal! The world can never bring to you, what Christ can give! Jesus will never fail you, and can give a reason to live! This world can promise you a whole "field of dreams." But can never give the joy and peace that only Jesus brings! The world shall one day be totally destroyed within! Only Christ can help you! And will always be your friend! Heaven and earth shall one day pass! God's word is forever! Christ loves you so much! You can be with him, together! Won't you follow Jesus? And leave this world behind you? Allow his Holy Spirit and love, to totally surround you! Take this world! But give me Jesus! Is this your plea? Won't you make plans to be with him, for all eternity? By Jim Pemberton
Contemplating back to a time when there use to be an us, when our relationship was built on trust, but truly it was only lust. But I must admit that I was only being honest when I looked into your eyes and said I was in love with you. If I can undo the past, I would go back to the time where I reckoned that you were not being true and seek to see-through your mind to have caught that clue. But what can I do, I already knew, but I didn't want to accept the fact that I might lose you. But I did, I did lose you, and I was torn to the deepest part of my soul to the point where I felt I was never ever going to be the same, like it was some kind of fate. Sure I had hate; I hated you for misleading me and then leading me to believe that our relationship was going to a great place. It was unfair that you had to tear my heart into two, misguiding me to think that you cared. Thinking what we shared was rare. I thought it was a nightmare, but I came to realization that I shouldn't care. I should stop the war that was going on between my mind and my heart before it gets too far that I can't ignore. Tough yes it was tough but enough is enough. What we had is now through, and I am sure enough done with you.

Don't pretend to understand me When your frustration and anger, comes first Don't pretend to nod and listen When all you hear, is what you want You treat me as if I am a brainless idiot! Blaming me because I don't agree with you Because I won't let you control me I am a big girl living an independent life So, don't pretend to know how I feel When you only believe the lies you convince yourself, I am Don't say you love me, when your ego takes precedence over my feelings Dreaming of what you want us to be Dreaming of me, from a far Leaving me alone, to problem solve, on my own I do this to show I care To show you I am responsible All I want is for us to be on the same page, sharing our love again Laughing, kissing I need your love and attentiveness I need to feel your nurturing warmth Instead of taking it away from me Knowing my vulnerabilities Deliberately hurting me You told me you were my knight in shining armour Where are you, when I need you?
I was blinded, I was fooled. I thought what we had was real... Your sweet words of kindness swept me off my feet. Your dark eyes that once gave me comfort, now are forever mocking me. Your arms that wrapped around me, now wrap around my throat. Your hands once so fragile, now are demonic as they clasp tighter and tighter. Our eyes and bodies are locked together, One gasping for breath... The other praying for my death... Darkness oozes from you mouth, Slicing my skin, as my blood begins to pour. Is this what you wanted? For now, I lay unconcious... And forever, will I haunt you. Kallie Mason 2013
Is Your Foundation of Life Being Destroyed? Very seldom do I hear any complaints. Regarding the lacking of moral restraints. It seems like many are under some kind of a "spell." What's right or wrong? Many can't even tell! Where are the moral leaders this nation needs? As the heart of this nation continually bleeds. Many churches provide very little discretion. Pretending to be Godly… Yet little Biblical direction! No wonder many people don't know what to believe. A lifestyle of lying, drugs and sex is what they achieve. In their lives, they have no "moral boundary." Many carrying a load of "dirty laundry." To those of you who want satisfaction and victory too... There is a "moral compass" that's freely offered to you! " God's word is a solid foundation! Which speaks of HIS love and his gift of salvation! If your life is filled with hurt, and has no true meaning. It's in the direction of Jesus you need to be leaning! You don't have to live in despair and defeat! Jesus' grace and love can make you complete! By Jim Pemberton
You'll Find True Enjoyment In Jesus! Are you looking for something to give "fulfillment?" Have you tried many types of "enjoyment?" Perhaps you've tried to do something "cool?" Even if it meant, "bending the rules?" But you don't have the satisfaction you crave? No matter how much of yourself, you gave? The fulfillment you want. You won't find it No matter how many times, you've tried it! Only Jesus can bring the answers you seek! He can bring true love, each day of the week! He alone can bring faithfulness and commitment! And bring to your soul, an eternal enrichment! Won't you give him your life? And allow him to lead? Only he knows and can meet your every need! Jesus is the answer to everything! And much more! He truly is what life is about, and was meant for! He is and shall always be your very best friend! And will be there for you! Till the very end! By Jim Pemberton
Here I am Jesus! Please use me! I know that you'll never refuse me! I ask you to fill me with your compassion… Even if this seems "old fashioned!" This world is lost and dying without you! There's so many that really need you! May I be an instrument in reaching out… This is what being your child is all about! You are the potter... I am the clay. Please give me the words to say! Touching others, I know is your will! May I listen to your spirit, and be still. Teach me to be your light, as I go along. In your arms of strength, I do belong! May others be stirred from God above… Help me to be an example of your love! To be used by God is an honor and joy... HE gives eternal life for all to enjoy! By Jim Pemberton
Mora Piya Ghar Aaya (My Beloved Has Returned Home) Autumn: the leaves fell, as you left, a bleak chill wafting across the barren space within my being, you left, taking your smile and mine, my smile rests with you still, leaving a void impossible to fill. Winter: pangs of longing consumed me, my only company in the frigid nights, my tears remain frozen, within, unable to fall from my broken eyes, as I searched the depths of the cold, harsh skies. Spring: birds returned home, though you did not, and I felt soothing rebirth all around, memories of you began blazing, their embers stoked, and at last the tears rolled, like ink on this blank notebook, my whole being pined for you, my very self in anguish silently shook. Summer: alive I felt again, the promise of the coming cooling rain, easing the heat of desire, yet the furnace slowly raged inside, your absence tearing into me, shattering my nights, my longing for you soaring unfettered across the skies, dancing on clouds, blissfully free, Monsoons: heaven itself opened, the deluge an unending dream, rain falling all around, mingling with my flowing tears, and then I saw you, you returned, and I embraced you, never wishing to let you go, and though I may wear the mask of the clown, if you were to leave again, my very soul, would quietly slip away, and in the monsoon rains, I would gratefully drown.
I'm caught in the midst of a dream I reside – tumbling lovers tempting romance with pride. Twisting and thrusting, to and fro with hate – stumbling over a beautiful destiny and fate. Creeping and crawling through shards of hope – resisting the tension on a loveless, tight rope. Shuddering in solitude, and mentally numb – oblivious to the breakdown of who I've become. Teasing and taunting, the years of lost time – mocking their innocence with words and rhyme. Insulting their integrity, of wrong over right – disregarding true feelings, absconding the night. Searching the wreckage, down high and up low – for bits of true love and familiar pieces I know. Vexing in torment, and accepting thy defeat – of an unspeakable romantic tale of deceit.
Since eternity past God the Father Son & Holy Spirit dwelled in unity and sweet fellowship. Then Three-In-One decided to make a marvelous universe with an earth for life to dwell. Creating an amazing array of creatures was the easy part – the risk was on the last made. For unlike other creatures, man & woman were made in God's likeness with a Spirit. That Spirit communicated with God, and harmony reigned as earth was well cared for. Freedom to do was great – limited by but one tree that the humans were not to ear from. At that tree, Satan disguised himself as an innocent snake and asked the woman questions. Did God really say don't eat from this tree? Well, that's to keep you from becoming like Him. Look its fruit is beautiful and one bite and you'll know what God does and be Jehovah's equal. Eve was confused, for this didn't sound like what Adam said God told her, but wouldn't it be grand. If God is so good, why would he keep this secret from us of being able to be like Him – is He jealous? The firm, juicy fruit was indeed delicious, and she quickly called Adam to taste, which soon he did. A small act? Every war, family problem, anger, hatred, lie, killing, stealing, rape, abuse came herefrom. The beauty of God's creation was now marred with sin that affected every part with death and decay. God graciously gave Adam & Eve animal skins for no longer would they live in Eden's perfect climate. From now on there would be sweat for the food they ate and exceedingly great pain during childbirth. Even their firstborn would murder their second, starting the cycle of revenge and killing that's ongoing. Yet God also made a promise that one would come who would crush Satan's head while being bruised. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God" clues us in to who. For God's Son Himself would come to teach, heal and offer His life on a Cross to destroy our death curse. Our sins He would bear and in rising He's seal the promise of eternal life, so great we Jesus' love for us. For Jesus the cost was unbelievably high, and for us the reward is incredibly great – if we but accept. Accept that I am a sinner, I've done wrong and need God's forgiveness to live with His perfection. Accept that Jesus can do what I cannot – change my heart, make my Spirit alive to forever live with God. This being GOD, the promise of heaven and new earth is sure, though pain lies in between. Choose now. For GOD and all creation cry out – this is what life is meant for – to know and love One's Maker. As humans we live eternally with or apart from God, and His great desire is that we choose with. But just as an earthly Father cannot force true love, nor does our Heavenly Father – He waits. Though He made all and knows beginning from end, he waits and yearns that we receive His love. Then love and be loved by Jesus in life's harshness & delight, sharing that love with other lost children To work in harmony with the One who made us, makes life new again as our spirit is filled with new life. There can be dry days when we don't feel His presence, and others so full that we want to shout for joy. The fact is Our Father GOD, our Savior Jesus, the Holy Spirit, are always with us and never will leave us. Amen.
God Can Bring Hope, When There Is None! I heard of another "hopeless" situation. This one needed a divine intervention! A person with no way out of what they're into. Any kind of love? They don't know how to! God has given to us his principles of living. But hate vs. hate, is often what we're giving! It's no wonder why some people seem hopeless. They often haven't been shown God's kindness! They often make decisions without knowing… The path of abundant life, God's word is showing! God can take any hopelessness or despair… And replace it with his mercy and care! He can restore, a life's "dead end road." He's here to help, with out "heavy load!" Won't you allow him to bring hope and healing? He brings a true purpose and meaning! His son Jesus can bring a love, you never had! Even when you seem discouraged and sad! Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus, for what you've done! In you, a brand new person, we all can become! By Jim Pemberton 06/17/13
How I hate the way I feel today, I just want everything to go away. Don't know if I am angry or sad , All I know is that it feels real bad. Everything is so mixed up inside , Confused by it all I just want to cry. Closing my eyes trying to get some rest, Doesn' help much getting only moments at best. Hoping for nightfall is what I want now, Praying tomorrow will be better some how. How I hate these days when I am down , Wishing nobody would ever come around. Asking myself why I am in this mood, What will it take to change my attitude. Surely there is something to make me smile, I wonder if there is because it's been awhile. Reading the book to maybe see my way through, It doesn't help either I am still feeling blue. Listening to others and what they have to say, Changes nothing at all I still feel this way. Why are there days I feel so down and out , Makes me want to just scream and shout. Wait for the morning sunrise is what I'll do, Possibly then I will be able to talk to you. Oh how I do not like the way I feel today, It's just the worst ever feeling this way. TAC
An angel, cradles me, in her motherly arms I have fallen, I am venerable I told myself, I would not do this, no more I have failed to keep my promise, to you I have not stayed true Tears flowing, as I smile, just, for you! Remembering the times, when you cupped my face, in your hands Your blue eyes, gazing into mine Telling me with sincerity 'I am the sunshine, that lights up your world, each day that dawns' My heart aches, it rains with love, having fond memories of us Wash me clean, being human, is challenging me! Emotional bondage, creating blocks I need to move on, you are dead and buried Your time here, over My heart struggling, accepting this reality "Forgive me" I pray to be free! "I Love you, my beloved, friend"

Mother Teresa been a historical, and an important, and a humble figure, as she had dedicated her life for the poor and the needy indeed, the best tribute one can give her is by quoting a single quote of her, out of the many though, the one mentioned below seems to be more precise, in today's world, "Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God-the rest will be given" Today, in the rush of acquiring money, many have forgotten this lovely aspect, the aspect of love, which is much greater than money, and had crossed a number of boundaries, from times immemorial, today jealousy, selfishness, greed have taken over love, wherein money is not that great, than love itself, as love is like a 'Can', which can be filled from the top to the bottom, unlike money, which needs to be filled from the bottom instead, love is greater than money indeed, as we do love our Gods, our wives, the children, whether they be ours, or of others, without distinguishing between their caste, creed, colour, Love is indeed greater, as we love the newborns born into this world, our friends , wherein love can also help us to defeat our enemies too, without love, no one can progress on, and neither the countries too, Therefore love is greater than money indeed!! 'Quote and Author':- "Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God-the rest will be given"- Author: 'Mother Teresa'
Jesus Said; "Trust Me to Take Care Of You!" Jesus said; "I want you to trust me to take care of you!" "I want to do this, because I really love you!" He told me that he wants me to trust believe him. He is waiting patiently for me to receive him! I need to give my problems and worries to him! I need to thank and daily praise him! He is someone that I can trust and depend on. He is always the solid rock that I can stand on! I want to give him my complete focus and attention! And receive his mercy, peace and salvation! I praise you Jesus! For helping me to see. I need much more of you! And a lot less of me! You're so wonderful! I'm blessed to know you! I give you my life, because I love and trust you! By Jim Pemberton 02/03/14
I meet you from world wide web.. You and me shared: "hi's & hello's".. Asking questions that pops out from our mind.. Answering without further adieus... I did not mean to be close to you... I did not mean to dream we could meet.. I did not mean to like you... Even I did not mean to miss you.. Days, months has passed by... I didn't have any glimpse of you... All I have are liquid pictures of You... Not on a hardcopy but embedded in me.. I wish we can sit, share a meal.. I wish we can personally talk, leading to a deal.. I wish we can do this, not only in wheels.. Rather through long hours waking real.. My friend, I might not have seen you.. I might not have been always with you.. but, take into your mind... Unwritten it maybe, We always have that bond: "FRIENDSHIP".. by: olive _eloi 22/09/2013 1:07pm
I love the way she smells after a shower so fragrant fresh and clean and how she sits there so beautiful in her dressing gown brushing her long wet hair until it dry's and gleams. Her sweet perfume fills the room and sets my heart on fire heightening my senses and filling me with desire. Peter Dome.copyright.2012.
A pastor who preached against sin, was pulled down… And very soon, his whole world was "upside down!" The sin he preached against, was causing him grief. He sought prayer and counseling, with little relief. How could this happen to him? Many wondered. As his very life begin being "pulled asunder." The victory he wanted, seemed to be fading away. He was almost at a loss, for the "right" words to say. Many just laughed and teased and made fun of him. He lost his friends. No one wanted to be with him! Just about everything he loved, was now all gone. He asked others; "please forgive me of my wrongs." As he stumbled each day, he fell down in disgrace. You could see the discouraged look, on his face! As the weeks went by, and feeling all alone… He asked God to forgive him, and bring him "home." He sinned... But confessed and God forgave him! The victory he needed is what Jesus gave him! We must be careful! Because we can also fall! A humble way of Godly living must be our call! Be watchful of the many sins that can enslave us! God knows all about it! It was he, who made us! Thank you Jesus for the kind of life you've given! And may you be honored in the way we're livin'! By Jim Pemberton
The Family of the Lord Jesus… I often hear of people who want to join a family! As many are looking for some kind of peace and to be happy. A lot of people are wanting to just "belong…" Yet so many struggle with "what's right or wrong." Many are often confused with lost identities… They often find that life has many adversities. Let me introduce you to a life changing plan! It's real and powerful! It's easy to understand! It's the family of the Lord Jesus Christ! For you and I… HE paid the ultimate sacrifice! This family involves a life that's eternal and secure! For Jesus gives living water… That's 100% pure! His family always has an opened gate! Won't you come now? Before it's too late? Come to him now! There's room for one more! He waits for you! And stands at your heart's door! All of heaven awaits your choice! Won't you accept God's grace? And beckon his voice? Whosoever will, let him come Thru Jesus, to God's throne! And be part of an eternal security and home! This family offers to all an open invitation! To receive TRUE love and hope! And a Godly visitation! By Jim Pemberton Rev. 04/15/13
I Want to Give God My Best! I told God I want to give him my best! He said to trust him to care of the rest! I asked him; "where is a good place to start?" He said; "Come to me with a humble heart!" I confessed to him my sins the best I could… Everything I've done. He already understood! He called my name and whispered into my ear… And said; "I am with you!" "I am always here!" It was like his hand reached down and touched me! I could hear him say how much he loves me! I was so excited, I called on Jesus' name! Since then, things have never been the same! Giving him my best was what I decided! His best for me… He had already provided! He's my protector, defender and my shield! To his spirit's will, I want to daily yield! He's my solid rock! Like the rock of Gibraltar! Everything that I have… I bring to HIS altar! My best for God's best is what I've given! Now his love blesses me, each day I'm livin'! By Jim Pemberton
Theres a girl she pours out her heart gives him everything changes her hair goes to get fat sucked out of her cause no one tells her that she really is beautiful she goes home to see him in bed kissing another girl, then get up and smack her around people ask where she got her brusies and why she hides her face but behinde that mask hideing her scars is a girl fearing for her life scared to go home to that man that just might give her more scars.

The ones that are pimped out and dont see there beauty the ones that hide the scars that the one they love put on there face This is our world and society today
Trapped. No where to hide.You scream at me through the door.Though your words still sting me. I sit on the ground alone.Blood drips down like tears. tears run down like rain.The room's spinning. My heart bursts out of my clothes.We got into a fight. Why is unclear. I tried to leave. You hit me. I fell.I started to cry. You kicked me.A sharp pain burst out of my chest. I could not breath. I have little energy,I kicked you. You fell. I ran to our bedroom. I am trapped. No where to hide.I'm weak. I stumble to your Night stand.I see a gun.You break down the door. I grab the gun.You start to choke me, squeezing my throat like you were trying to get some sort of juice out of me. I pull the trigger. BANG!Trapped. No where to hide.Your grip feels looser. Your face in pain. You fall down. i fall into darkness.Free. No need to hide.
I've seen many families in difficult situations! Often ending up in lies and false accusations! I've seen many families stray way off course… And tragically, often, end up in a divorce! I've seen the hardships that many families endure. Their faith has often been shaken. That's for sure! I've seen many families trying to give 100 percent. And then wondering where all of their time went! I've seen all these things happening and much more! I have wondered; "what is all of this happening for?" I've just one thing to say in this "chaotic confusion." Only the blood of Jesus gives any hope or solution! It's only in his word, we'll find a godly direction! His Holy Spirit can give true and loving correction! May we seek his spirit to bind us all together! And pray for his blood for our protection forever! Please come Lord Jesus, and refresh our soul! We need you right now, to make us whole! Please touch our heart, and make us all one! And heal every father, mother, daughter and son! Please help us to watch what we'll do and say! You can turn our darkest night into the brightest day! By Jim Pemberton
The thing about life is that it can end in an instant When the rope of the harsh words wraps tightly around your Neck squeezing tighter and tighter you just want to jump To end it all to end all the pain and the hatred and words It is not only the words that push you over the edge It is too the fists and the feet that slam into you Over and over without a break with out letting up Making you break down and slide down the wall and cry and cry and cry One phone call can save a live, stopping that jump Stopping the self hate and spreading the love The love i have for you will never fade or die and i hope will make you better to sleep and to be able to be Happy again to be happy forever and always with me just remember and know that it's NOT YOUR FAULT

What if we all Just stopped where we are And sent a smile to the one next door? What if we all Just stopped where we are And reached out to those who've done us wrong? What if we all Extended a serving hand To the grieving, homeless, hungry, and downtrodden? What if we all Just stopped where we are, Joining hands, Offering thanks, Forgiving, Laughing, Hugging, Loving, And embracing; Smiling as our futures shined Because God has blessed us this life!

A time to rest in his loving arms and rejoice! Let's bless his name, for the work he wants to do! Please help us Jesus, that we may all TRUST YOU! Trusting you will bring peace and hope to our soul… Because we need you, more than we'll ever know! By Jim Pemberton
I wondered how is it that something as simple as your smile could capture my heart, I often sat and debated to myself how did this all come into play from the very start. You showed me love can be found in the strangest places and obviously the strangest times, The connection...the bliss...how fast it developed should have been a crime. When we first meet you were everything I wished for in a true woman, It was like getting a wish granted from a genie I imaginably summoned. But it's all changed now, hasn't it? Since the love that was created wasn't exactly easy, One thing I have learned in my life is that nothing...NOTHING comes easy. Listen, I followed the voice in my heart that you brought back to life so I could love again, I was so sure that so called relationship could pass for a perfect ten. You saw me for who I am and pushed aside the pimp in me to meet the lover within me, Even then I was very sure that so called relationship was going to be it for me. Listen, I did follow the voice you THOUGHT you brought back that had risen from the dead, Thanks to that voice I'm done listening to the lies you stirred in my head. The fact you couldn't admit to me your wrongs was just absolutely unappealing, I'm more than how you're treating me so remember you don't know me and you have no idea what I'm feeling. You can stop being nice or whatever charity game you call yourself playing with me, I only blame myself for not wanting that horrifying truth to be seen. That when it was over it was truly over...for you anyway, I held on to what never was and my trust for people was the price I paid. Someone once said that anything done with fear has no moral value, Because of your fear I felt as if I was nothing and this feeling for me is something brand new. So now I conclude this situation and will move on from everything I have mentioned, It's time I allow someone else to step in who actually deserves my attention.
Port of Call Barefoot on a talcum beach, alone, not lonely, with the breath of the ocean a caressing balm, soothing pained memories away, to the swaying of a solitary palm. Barefoot on a talcum beach, alone, not lonely, feeling the brushing away of all past turmoil, on a quest for solace, ever so hard to find, yet comforted by the crashing of the waves, as the tide cleanses all pain, and leaves despair far, far behind. Barefoot on a talcum beach, alone, not lonely, drenched in a sea-breeze of mist, that hushes the ache of bygone moons, tasting the salty tang on my lips, as the burnished sun, over the distant horizon, swoons, and dips. Barefoot on a talcum beach, alone, not lonely, searching, ever searching, for a slice of solitude, as memory bids a final adieu, reaching under the sea so vast, and seeking comfort in the depths, while embracing, the tomorrows to come, wishing that they be true. Barefoot on a talcum beach, alone, not lonely, seeing my truths drown, as they slip beneath the turquoise waters, feeling my heart ablaze, with a passion that rarely falters. Barefoot on a talcum beach, alone, not lonely, yet knowing that I am home at long last, wishing the waves would wash away, the defences that once stood, like an impregnable wall. Barefoot on a talcum beach, alone, not lonely, I have found, at long last, my final port of call.
I love you as my friend.. You make me laugh & smile when I'm sad. You lend me a shoulder when I'm bad. You keep me up whenever I'm down. I love you as my friend.. We share anything through thick and thin.. We correct each other in every sin.. Still, we maintain such friendship dear.. I love you as my friend.. Thus, I wish however things may end.. We remain true and undeafeatable trend.. Breaking and surpassing curves and bend.. By: olive_eloi sept. 15, 2013 4:34pm

Please come to where I am, and touch me! I need your love, and your precious spirit! Thanks for being patient! And willing to give it! You are the only one, who can restore me! No matter how many problems lay before me! I come before you! And call on your name… By your blood, my life needs to be changed! Thank you my Lord, for hearing my prayer! Thank you for coming! And just being there! You've given to me hope! My life is renewed! By your love, my life is now brand new! By Jim Pemberton
Samson Of the Bible From the Bible, is the story of Samson. He lived an incredible life that really happened! He was to be a Nazrite, and set apart! His hair was to grow long, from the start! He was to deliver Israel from their enemy throughout! This was what his mission was all about! He destroyed the lion and bear with his bare hands! And sent burning foxes throughout the enemy lands! He destroyed a thousand! With the jawbone of an ass! God had given him such an incredible task! With his strength, came temptation's call! And soon, his whole life took a fall! The strength from God had departed from him! Now, there was no one who could help him! Ridiculed and mocked, he became a slave. He couldn't free himself, no matter what he gave. He was brought before the Philistine's temple. Mocked and whipped to set as an example. He cried out to God, for help that hour… God gave him the strength and the power! The temple came crashing down all around him! Now, there was just rubble that surround him! May this be a lesson, that speaks to me and you! God is not fooled, no matter what we try to do! We can act like we have everything we needed! Without God, our life is never completed! May we not compromise what God has given! And walk in his strength, each day we're livin'! By Jim Pemberton
Dear Jesus, Keep Me By Your Side! Dear Lord, keep me by your side! Help me to be humble, and take away my pride! Dear Lord, may it be my ambition and desire, To praise your name! And lift it up higher! Dear Lord, I just want you to know... That I will share your love, wherever I go! Dear Lord, please make clear and evident... The time of your coming is so imminent! Dear Lord, my life to you, is given! You've taken away my sin! And I'm forgiven! Dear Lord, without you, I am hopeless and lost! My life would be nothing without the cross! Dear Lord, I offer to you my life! And I freely give it! I ask for the filling of your Holy Spirit! My Lord I want to give praise and adore you! I humbly come and worship you! My Lord and my God! You reign over everything! You're my savior and friend! And my king! By Jim Pemberton
Test me, O Lord, and try me. Examine my heart and mind! I trust you o Lord. You're so loving and kind! Your love is ever before me, I shall walk in your truthful ways! It is my prayer and desire to honor you all of my days! I will not sit with deceitful men, or those hypocritical of your name! You are the God who is powerful! And will bring them all to shame! I shall proclaim aloud of your praise, and tell of your wonderful deeds! For you have given me everything, And supplies all of my needs! I love the house where you live, O Lord, and where your glory dwells! I am thankful for you! And love you more than words can tell! By Jim Pemberton 07/14/13 Read Psalm Ch. 26
I am lost, and broken, trapped alone, in a foggy crevasse, wedged between sanity | madness | anguish. I lose, and break, memories taunting, my waking thoughts, stripping me bare | naked | exposed. I survive, barely breathing, slipping deeper, into nothingness, feeling little | shattered | numb. I am incomplete, without you, broken and fatigued, gnawed by emptiness | desolation | pain. I persist, each breath futile, crushed, yet alive, comforted knowing only, that you breathe | you live | and you love.
Do You Blame Or Trust God? Do you blame God for the trials you may face? Do you reject God's mercy and grace? Perhaps you are in a most "difficult situation." You can't figure out a "reasonable explanation?" You may feel abandoned, alone and afraid. There may have been times when you prayed. You don't know why this happening to you? You probably try your best in all that you do! But, it still things really haven't worked out. And you often wonder what life is all about? Rather than blaming God… Why not trust him? He's not your enemy! He wants you to know him! He's not the blame for the sorrows of mankind! He's always faithful, most loving and kind! He patiently waits for anyone to call on his name! With him in control… Things won't be the same! He is here! Even if everyone else fails you! If you give him a chance! He wants to help you! Won't you take the time, and invite him in? This is where a new opportunity can begin! His life for yours, is what he gives in exchange! He can help your situation to really change! He can change your life! And turn it around! And can put your life on a solid ground! By Jim Pemberton
How Do I Know That I've Been Blessed? How do I really know that I've been blessed? Throughout life, I've tried to receive the "best!" I've experienced the pleasure of "good things." And have received whatever joy they may bring! But whatever I've tried, even if it's brand new… They don't always give the "pleasure" they promise to do! There's many things, I thought had "blessed" me. But they end up greatly disappointing me! Wherever I go… And the many places I've been... Their "attraction," always come to an end! The true blessings in life are not what I've achieved. Or the great many things that I have received! The real blessings that I have recently discovered… Is asking for the blood of Jesus, to have my life "covered!" His blood can bring a true cleansing deep within… And brings me the joys of being BORN AGAIN! The blessings of God, is what I need to surround me! For I once was utterly lost! But Jesus found me! Glory to God! For the eternal blessings he's given! He's totally changed me! And the way I'm livin'! I know that I am blessed! For Christ lives in me! I'm building up treasures… For eternity! By Jim Pemberton
N- Never say never, please don't say No this day E- Everyone see what I have to give you in a surprising way W- Ways to tell her you love her, so many things to say Y- Yet another year, until your here E- Even the Baby New Years A- Argue if you want I expect you there R- Raving about the excitement, News Years cheer R- Revamp, count down, kiss, ring, question, your reply dear I- Interested in only one word to appear N- Neal I mean kneel down, ok clear G- Gently put the ring on and then the crowd again cheers
When did we grow a part Surely there can be no date assignment Nor can a time of the hour or minute placed When did we become selfishly alone Preferring the singular to the plural in tone When did loving each other take the preverbal back seat With vain wisdom filling our hearts When did touching excite no more The sensations callused by prideful numbness When did thoughtfulness tenderness and kind words Thus exchanged for screaming hurtfulness and distraught When did trust slip away as sand in an hour glass Spying each other- knowing it could not last When did honor turn into threats Threats of self-preservation by disarmament When did our breath die to seek servitude as one As passion was placed into a closet – we entered the ring When did love stop- we now needing new air When did we die and we simply did not care
Please Come Lord Jesus, And Hear My Voice! Please come Lord Jesus, and listen to my voice! In all I do or say, may you be my first choice! Please come dear Jesus, and listen to my cry! Give me your living water, that can satisfy! Please come dear Jesus, and renew my mind! You're so patient, loving and very kind! Please come dear Jesus, and renew my spirit! Your words of life… May I daily live it! Please come dear Jesus, I need you this hour! I need your strength, and your power! Thank you my Lord, my savior and friend!! And thanks for answering me… Once again! By Jim Pemberton 08/01/13
What Does God See In Me? When God looks down... what does he see? What kind of person would he find in me? Would he find a life "tossed around and confused?" One that's been "worn out and abused?" Does he look at me as "a pebble in the sand?" Would he reach out to me with his hand? "Yes my child... and I'll do much more." "It was for you that my son died for." "I love you and give undivided affention." "To bring you true happiness and Godly direction." "My love for you is never ending." "My desire is to be with you-- I'm not pretending." "I have come that you may have life more abundant." "Don't think of my awesome power as being redundant." "I'll bring true contentment deep within." "And will always be your very best friend." "Listen to me...listen to my voice." "I have called and loved you...by MY choice." "Allow me to write your name in my journal" "llow me to bring you true joy and life eternal." "I forever promise to bring peace to your soul." "And will be with you wherever you go!" By JIm Pemberton
Will my life last, much longer? What am I doing? I began to wonder… Many things keeps dragging me further down… What'll I do? There's no one around??? Many "things" have a hold on me… I cry every night… I want to be FREE! I've tried and tried… But to no avail… Just when I think I have victory… I fail! I've read in scripture of a power I haven't seen. I read of a lord who can do ANYTHING! I'm going to give him a try! I've nothing to lose! I've been so hurt, worn out and abused!.… To you, dear Jesus… I confess my every sin. I can feel your love from deep within! Thank you Jesus! For giving me a joy I never knew… I don't know where I'd be if not for YOU! You've brought to my life a peace I never had. For all you've done for me. I'm so glad! Won't YOU give your burdens to the one, I call friend? And experience the joy of being born again? Please come to him now! Why not this hour? And experience his life-changing power! By Jim Pemberton
Caught up in life, in our peripheral we Doors we enter, but do we actually see Or does life's light, simply blind A trait of us, human kind These windows that attract That can lure us eventually through Is this luring on our radar When feelings turn the screw It's over a period of time About bridges destroyed and rebuilt Like the ebb and flow of the tides To free us from life's silt But it's these journeys of life that cut When dialogue proved to be woven Until we enter these doors of life We'll never know our peripherals proven Honesty of character, shows a halo touch This other trait of human kind, I don't like so much <*>
I can see how you are doing well these days; an hour-glass shape to crave for, and a face showing a good diet intake. You still look innocent as I left you, though you took my heart through hell. You threw my heart out of the window, but I came back to the game; as you call our relationship. I am as strong as you left me, unmoved by heartaches and pricking memories. .....but when I sit down at a table meant for two at a restaurant, I see couples taking their tea with passionate joy; their eyes spelling out the name "I love you". A moment to face the truth finally comes; I'm forced to accept I can't move on without you. You stuck in my soul like a tattoo.......
I've never hit rock bottom so hard. I got up but it feels like I'm still sitting down. I've never felt pain so bad To the point where I just can't function. The memories I can't seem to erase They replay in my head constantly until I'm in tears. I've never had my heart broken so bad That just picking up the pieces crumbles in my hands. I've never felt so alone. That even while you hold me I can't feel your arms. I've never been so depressed in my life That even a psychiatrist don't know my diagnosis. There is only one way to go but up. But my ladder keeps sliding down. I run, jump, skip, hop. Defeat lays on my breastplate. 12/23/12
God designed marriage as the real thing! Anything less, is what a counterfeit brings! His concept of one man and woman is very real. He's not interested in bowing to "man's appeal." His court of justice rings very loud and clear! The truth of his word shall NEVER disappear! You can look in Genesis and it is found! He created Adam from the dust of the ground! He designed Eve from one of his ribs! They were joined together as both lived! He didn't need a constitution to know "their rights." He gave them HIS WORD as their guiding light! Satan has been trying to pervert what God created! This is a truth. And need not be debated! We have cheapened the value of the marriage institution! And have added needless chaos and confusion! Through the Bible, one husband and wife are taught! Unless you want to live in Sodom, as did Lot! Ungodly perversions take many forms and kinds. And it soon piles up garbage into our minds! "What God has put together." "Let no man put asunder.!" Many ideas of "marriage," is a total blunder! One man and one woman is what God ordained in Eden. It was Adam and Eve. Not Adam and Steven! The choices in life are yours! And yours alone! Who is going to be the Lord, of your heart and home? By Jim Pemberton
Won't You Trust God? You'll never know God, unless you trust him! Won't you come now and accept him? You'll never know God, if you don't believe him! All of heaven is waiting, for you to receive him! You'll never know of his love, if you turn him away! He has the power to change your life today! You'll never know of his mercy, or grace divine… If you won't acknowledge or give him your time! You'll be missing out, on what true life is all about! He can forgive and cleanse you throughout! You'll be missing out, on what salvation really is! And miss out on the life that God has to give! With God, there needs to be no separation! Through Jesus, you can be a new creation! God was and will always be there, for you and me! And waits for all to be with him, for eternity! By Jim Pemberton
When I Gave My Heart to Jesus… When I gave my heart to Jesus, I didn't know what to expect! There were many things in my past, that I wanted to forget! As a young boy, there was one day that I made my decision! I wanted to live for Jesus and give him my full attention! I remember as a young boy, how I served God with a passion! As I look back now, this seems to some, as "old fashioned." I remember how many times, I knelt before my bed to pray! I wanted to ask God to forgive my sins and wash them away! I remember the times I was excited to read the Holy Bible. I wanted to read about the true God! Not a false idol! I wanted to learn about the mighty deeds God did in the past. And wanted to hear about a treasure in Christ, that will last! I'm so thankful of the many memories that I had back then. As I get older, it seems harder to focus on all of this again! My prayer life doesn't seem like how it used to be. And very seldom do I ask God to forgive me. I need to get back to the same God that I once knew! And allow his word to make my life renewed! Please Lord Jesus, come and fill me with your passion and desire! In all that I do, that I'll lift your name up higher! Please come sweet Jesus! And light the Holy fire within! That I may fall in love with you, once again! You've proved yourself beyond all of my expectations! By your beauty, and the wonders of your salvation! For everything you've done, I want to thank you! You've given me another chance… And I LOVE you! BY Jim Pemberton
Enigmatic Lane This enigmatic lane- I've walked long. And now I see Only barren lands, A mere setting sun, And a vague horizon. I turn to look back Along this enigmatic lane. And then I see Those umpteen vicissitudes, Those sudden meanders, Those familiar turns, Those abrupt detours. Down this enigmatic lane, There have been Many a rich meadows, Many a bleak wastelands, Millions of pompous marches, Millions of disconcerting dirges, Several comforts of love, Several cruelties of reclusion. Along this enigmatic lane I may no longer tread, for- As I now halt, I ponder- Perpetuation has always been The ruse of fleeting phases, And what worth has it been To walk this enigmatic lane.
What happens when two are destined to drift Slowly forever apart? They'll tell each other of crossing paths again One day, that this is just a new start! Time marches on though While these two meet many others... But to their first true love They won't ever forget... Because their hearts, for each other Have been Locked In And Set
Love's a many joys and pains; A wild ride no matter how you take them reigns. In vain we try our best at evading the lanes, but you gonna get wet if you stay in the rain. And you can press reset once you reach that place where the hurt in your chest starts to fade and be replaced with the fact that the wackness can be faced; laughed and left, not mad, no regrets. See it might take a little second, trust I've been there before. Disappointed in the person you gave too much credit. You aint a fool for gettin fooled, that's what foul folks do, but you a fool if you aint wise enough you debt it. See it's hard out here slim pickings on the regular; Fallin for charisma lookin past character. But when it's all said and done, better aim my style. I'll let karma do it's thing and laugh last. "Ha-haaaa" Hit the gas!
This is the moment we must realize That for us this is now the last time Whatever we do now like we used to It's nothing short of a real crime This was something that I never wanted It's something that I had never intended I'd always pictured us with a good ending But yet here we are, look how we ended Though I really love you so much And I'm wanting my life with you still We taking two separate paths now You will love him now, I know you will We're together this one last time As two people who express all love and gratitude Love so perfect and strong, after this moment We can talk about you and him without attitude This is the last time we get to think That me and you are supposed to be together That we'll make a perfect family And it'll just be us two happy, forever It's the last time I'll look oh so deep Deep into those beautiful and hypnotizing eyes To actually tell you how much I love you And that it's only with you that my heart lies After this we can only remain intimate In our memories, thoughts, or in our dreams That's a new mission for us to accomplish Which may be easier for you than it seems The last time is now, that we touch As two people who are more than just friends Now we have to take that good, pure, and true love Mix it with the innocence, and see how it blends No longer can I even let you see That my love for you is just so strong My emotions and love for you can't be shown Otherwise on my part, it'd be all wrong This is the last time that I ask For you to really consider taking me back Before these next years go by and it's Only our true happiness we both lack For the last time, thanks for everything And all the lessons you helped me learn You have the most amount of love and trust From me that anyone could ever earn For the last time you should know I love you with all my heart, body, and soul And that only you can complete me You're the other piece that makes me whole Through all of life and eternity will you be The Queen of my heart, and know that I'm Never going to love again after this moment You are it, baby this is the last time
Saturday Rain in Johannesburg… …With sighs of torrential passion, the heavens shower teardrops, weeping with me, as memories of you come cascading back, skin on skin, ablaze, moist kisses, fiery, gentle whispers of undying love, murmured, in another life, another time, far removed from my present, a desolate state of despair, wallowing in the grime. … The rain keeps falling, each teardrop stinging my face, tasting the salt on my lips, I wonder, do you still remember the caresses of my fingertips, between breathy confessions, and vows of eternal love, before you left me, stranded on an island of solitude, wounded as a wingless dove, bereft of life, stripped of all traces of fortitude
Lord make my light shine, illuminating Your glory wich doesn't dwindle in the dark and is the joy thats set before me. In this lifes uncertain seas be the wind set in my sail, be my compass and my anchor, for You love me without fail so I know You'd never wreck me on this course that You are mapping or allow me to be plundered, sunk ,or stranded without captain. No! I shall not be afraid wether tempest or high tide for as sure as You are with me joy and peace in me abide so my faith is in Your guidance, not a storm You cannot still. So direct me with instruction I choose Your purpose and Your will. Even when cloud and dark cover ever confident I'll be my soul shall look to its lover who will ever walk with me.
Jesus Is Concerned About YOU! Jesus is concerned about YOU! The struggles you face… the trials you're going through! When trials in life begin to arise… Think about the love in your father's eyes. With every trial… Jesus makes a way to escape He's here to help you! Never a moment too late! When life's problems seem so difficult to solve… Give them to him! He's there to resolve… The future may be uncertain in the days ahead. But Jesus is the river of life… And your daily bread! By Jim Pemberton
Jesus Provides Life Everlasting! Jesus, there's something that I'm asking. I would like to receive your life everlasting. I'd like to daily have fellowship with you. It's each day now.. I want to be with you! I want to enjoy the love that you extend. And ask you to cleanse me deep within! I'm so unworthy of everything you've given. I'm thankful for being cleansed and forgiven! You came down when no one would take me. And promised that you'll never forsake me! I'm honored and blessed by Jesus' name. There's nothing else in life I need to obtain! All that I'll ever need, in Christ, I've found it! Though there's many who think "I lost it." Eternal life with Jesus, is the best thing for me! He brings peace, hope and a blessed eternity! By Jim Pemberton 01/02/15
Come, walk me in the rain.. Carefree and youthful not insane.. Surely, we all will get wet.. It's alright we'll enjoy not fret.. Come, walk me in the rain.. Let our hands clasp in unison..

Where have you been all my life I kept on waiting 'till you passed by I wonder how it took you for so long To notice that I've been here all along We managed to vent both our feelings But it seems our fate is very deceiving Why would they put us world apart And let us make a brand new start Hope is always our line to cling on But we are always razed with frustration I hope we can stand still against the time 'Till the day we both say "you are mine"
Where is it that we will go from here, There just isn't any other place I fear. It has been a long and difficult road , Will I ever get there I really don't know . I've Stood strong , true , and held fast , Not sure exactly how long I would last. My struggles hard and life has been tough, I did not really need or want very much . Never losing my faith and have always believed , That Love and Happiness is what I would receive. A little longer and a bit more I would say, Work hard and it will all be good one day. I did not complain nor make much of a fuss , Just have always wanted the very best for us. I'm so sorry if I have failed you in any way, Loving you was all I wanted to do every day. This I have always known way deep in my heart , There wasn't anything that could ever pull us apart. They've always said we have that special thing, A very rare thing and something hardly ever seen. It is something that has always given me so much pride, Making all I do effort less and you the reasons why. Where is it we will go from here I just can't say, Only that I know we will get there some day. The love between us is strong and our hearts true, It is the streangth in our foundation that gets us through. Our unspoken trust and the powerful bond we have , Carries us through all our good times and all the sad. I'm beginning to think it's not where we will go from here , Because it's when ever we're together we are already there. These are my reasons I will Always do my very best, And by keeping my faith that God will cover all the rest. So I guess there's nothing really for me to fear, Why would I ever want to go any where from here. Tac
a starlight of love where none was before a mysterious figure who opens the door a flame of passion that now burns bright a soothing massage of briliant white light a wonder a mystery it opens heavens it gives hope wings this thing called.... love
Would You Be Ready, If Christ Came Today? Are you one who's ready for Christ' return? The way you're living... Are you concerned? Many try to find a love that will last... But outside church, their spiritual candle burns out fast. Many believe they're doing good and "o.k." As long as they give a little time and pray. Many have God's word and don't know the verses. You can see their Bible on Sunday, underneath their purses! A sense of excitement stirs each morning. But many fail to heed God's somber warning. Without holiness, no one shall enter God's throne. If Jesus came today... Would you be left alone? God knows the heart of man is wicked deep within. That's why Jesus said: "YOU MUST be born again." Be separate from the world's wicked and sinful ways. "Be ready for my coming," is what Jesus says. At God's house, his divine judgement shall start. Live for Jesus NOW! Love him with all of your heart! Keep this important thought in mind... If Jesus came today... Would you go, or be left behind? By Jim Pemberton
As I see more ungodly laws being passed… I wonder; "how much longer will our country last?" As many believe that God is no longer needed… A tide of wickedness has relentlessly proceeded! Many kind of ungodly acts on t.v. are displayed.. As the colors of the rainbow are often portrayed! A tremendous tide of filth and sin greatly abounds! Where are the righteous? Where can they be found? It's time to think of where our freedom came from! The blessings of God, we certainly received them! Our country's taking the wrong direction! It's almost like we have a deep ungodly infection! It's time America, to return to the God of the Bible! And refuse to worship and entertain false idols! On our coins, "in God we trust.' Is what it reads…. But deep inside, our country "spiritually bleeds!" Out only hope is in Christ! And him alone! We need his principles of truth in our homes! He is and will always be the one who's provided! Without him…. A path to destruction is decided! If there was ever a time… We need God this hour! We can't make it under our own strength and power! Please come Lord Jesus! And touch us by your hand! May there be a true repentance throughout this land! It's only though Christ, that our country can have freedom within! As we come to God and seek forgiveness of sin! By Jim Pemberton
I lost today Lost my heart to you lost all since of reason Lost my blues Lost to this season I won today Won a love so true Won a soul that flies Won all of you Won someone to hear my cries I laughed today Laughed when my eye where opened Laughed when I finally knew Laughed when the heart was not broken Laughed when our love grew I cried today Cried tears of joy Cried tears of freedom an love Cried tears for you boy Cried tears to thank the lord above I loved today I loved you
Against the indigo velvet skies The sweetly scented nightly breeze Sends leaves falling, rustling Allowing moonlight thru the trees Through curtains softly billowing The moonlight steals its furtive glance Flirting with silky ebony shadows Performing their nightly ritual dance On the other side of the wind Whispers softly echo in her mind Beckoning her… To listen to their voice Telling her his love she'll surely find The wind chimes in spiral curves A moment that's timeless stirs her soul To a crystalline awakening in her heart Welcoming imbuing intrusions to console In quiet moments she breathes him in His hand in hers, feelings linger A graceful dance to walk a path Feeling his touch upon her fingers A trail of tears tinged with sighs Thoughts of him entrench the dark A restless soul needing warmth In quiet moments he invades her heart Will she find him once again… On the other side of the wind?
How John Mayer helped end and save my marriage.. S.Hudson Our love can be summed up in a playlist of John Mayer songs, A myriad of one liners and chorus' overlaying the template of life, Our "heart break warfare" led to a horrible affair, She and another took solace in a shared love for John Mayer, They dreamed together with "Half of my heart" playing in the distance, "Showing me another way" , But a dream is all it could be, and a dream is all it was, The "Gravity" of the situation realized, And a husband missing all of his heart. Two worlds pulling at the hem, "Pain throws your heart to the ground, Love turns the whole thing around," It is said, we have lived together through both my wife, And I don't know, "If I trust myself with loving you", But, "I'm not the man I used to be lately" And here we are now, Trying to recapture this "Home life" John muses of. "I'd love to walk where we both can talk", I'd love to give you my all, "Oh it's taking so long, I could be wrong, I could be ready, Oh but if I take my hearts advice, I should assume it's still unsteady, I am in repair, I am in repair," For know we stand with our heart in the others hand, fragile, unsteady, unsure, But oh so willing. All I know Rhonda is, "There ain't no sunshine when she's gone" "My girl she ain't the one that I saw comin," I "love who ya love, who ya love" That's YOU!

"Why should I believe in God?" was what I had said. "Whoever believes in him is "crazy in the head." This "religous stuff" was too much for me to receive. This "God thing" was something "I'd never believe." Until one day... there was "a bump on the road." Life came "crashing down" on me like a heavy load. My house and family were all gone in one moment. I was looking for answers and some kind of atonement. I blamed God for everything I had lost. And then found in my dresser, an old wooden cross. I complained to God, cursed and grumbled. I wanted to crush this cross into a pile of rubble. Becoming so angry, I could almost feel the heat within. I knew that it was I who had sinned. I knew this anger in me did not belong. How could I blame God for all that was wrong? I found a bible... read John 3:16 and cried. It was for me... that Jesus came and died! Why couldn't I agree on this before? I can't blame God for anything anymore! I asked Jesus to remove all sin and pride. I'm now on the "winning side." For years.. an empty life I had spent. Is now filled with joy, peace and content. This choice I made... I'm glad I did! He has given me a reason to hope and live!
You give me a smile that lingers with every thought of you. It amazes me because its like you feel every thought that passes through. You said its for real, I know its forever.. So Im gonna keep holding you down whether, whenever no matter the weather. I dont need you for my happiness, I need you to complete me. More importantly its what you mean to me, I trust you thats why I give you all of me. What you got aint what they see, you understand and grasp me differently. Youre different too, that why I choose you. God knew what he was doing that day I met you, since then I feel I look best standing next to you and youre a fly dude. Fitted, fresh white tee, clean Js too! Now Im queen, 2 man team only you could be king. You know I love you, not only do I ride I would die too.
God's Love Knows No End! With God's love… There is no end! It's one thing to hear of it… Another to pretend! There's no end of his love for you to receive! Simply reach out… And believe! There's no end to his love and wondrous deeds! He can take care of you and meet all of your needs! There's no end, how much of your sin can be forgiven! He can change you right now… And the way you're livin'! There's no end to the words of love he's spoken! Why not allow his love to enter your heart and be "inner-woven.?" There's no end to the power of his healing! The words; "I love you!" He's always revealing! There's no end to HIS majesty! He rules SUPREME! He is God. Your provider… He Is EVERYTHING! There's no end to the times he's knocked at your heart's door. Why not invite him in??? What are you waiting for? Why not accept this unlimited God who's patient and kind? Won't you do this today? Why there is still time? By Jim Pemberton
Because of God, I Am Blessed! I am so blessed from God above! He's given me life and eternal love! I am so blessed, what he's given to me! I was blind… But now I can see! I am so blessed to receive his grace too! Where would I be God, if not for YOU? I am so blessed to be forever his! I'm so grateful for the life HE gives! I am so blessed! And will thankfully be… With my heavenly father for all eternity! I am so blessed, to know that we're not alone! Won't you invite Jesus… Into your heart and home? You'll be glad you did! This opportunity is given! Won't you accept him now? And be forgiven? By Jim Pemberton
How often have you told your wife you love her? Only to be caught in the arms of "another…" The vows that were made... The promises given. God gives a chance for you to be forgiven! A husband and wife are sanctioned by our Lord… But often end up in anger, bitterness and discord. Jesus can mend the hurt and remove the pain. And bring a healing to any guilt or shame. He loves you with a Godly jealousy that is evident. Into your heart and life… He longs to be a resident. Won't you allow his power to bring a restoration? Before your family is heading toward a separation? Let his words of hope and love be the glue. And bring a new meaning to the words; "I LOVE YOU!" May you be "caught up" in your heavenly father's embrace. And allow his love to put a smile on your face! What God has joined as one. He can keep together. Won't you allow him to bless your marriage forever? By Jim Pemberton
"It never made me think less of you, the marks apon your skin it never made me wanna run when you told me of the voices that yelled within. i didn't want to run away like everyone else did i never wanted us to break but it seemed we just where kids it's sad to say that i miss you it's hard to breathe but i struggle to get through and how i used to say that i loved you it's hard to see but sometimes dreams come true. we had those special nights where we talked until the sun rose up. the wind outside was yelling at us both to fall asleep. but we ignored it anyways. it seems like it was just yesterday, even though we where miles and miles and miles away. somehow i still felt you. it's sad to say that i miss you it's hard to breathe but i struggle to get through and how i used to say i loved you it's hard to see but sometimes dreams come true. how do i live without you here? missing your body close to mine how do i stop hurting and stop the tears coming out my eyes? have you ever heard me screaming? at the top of my lungs i say your name every night but you never seem to come. the memories of us. the life we planned it's fading all away. do you understand! we both carried a torch inside of us how did we let it get blown away? it's sad to say that i miss you it's hard to breathe but somehow i still make it through and now i miss how you loved me too it's hard to see now but sometimes dreams really do come true. it's sad to say that i need you it's hard to breathe but somehow i still make it without you and it's hard to believe but sometimes happy endings really don't come true..."
When your rejected, by the one you think you love It's like a spoken paragraph, without a bunch of fuss On the outside looking in, it's not the big a deal But when your inside, this is how it makes me feel I am not good enough, both past and future have been better Your lacking in something, and probably will be forever She's saying that all her old relationships, even the ones that were bad Are better then what me and her together would of had Your a dull seashell on the beach, that doesn't compare to the rest Left alone and discarded, better off thrown in the trash Will... your just not good enough, maybe I'll let you be my friend But since you are nothing, that's where our closeness will end That's why some guys respond with anger, how could you diss me so But me.. i just feel like I've been stomped to the floor Perhaps these feelings are dumb, but what am i suppose to think A failure once again, with tears hiding behind my eyes as i blink

I am who you are Where you putting me In your context Hope you like What you getting out Enclosed Yours With me In complications Adding To attention It is sowing you in me

Why not come to him? Through Jesus, is where a new life BEGINS! By Jim Pemberton
Jesus Is Here! The same Jesus who died on the cross, is right here! I don't need to worry, doubt or have any fear! The same Jesus who walked on this earth long ago… Is the same one, who can redeem and make me whole! The same Jesus who arose in his resurrection power… Can meet all of my needs! This very hour! The same Jesus who defeated Satan by his word… Has spoken his marvelous grace, for all to be heard! The same Jesus is the one who wants you to know him! One day, every one will confess, and bow before him! The same Jesus could return this very day! For HE is the truth, the life, and the only way! Won't you accept everything that he has given? You too can experience the power of being FORGIVEN! By Jim Pemberton
Are We Being Driven to God's Elimination? In the names of diversity and anti-discrimination. It's like we're being driven to God's elimination! God is being "forced" from many institutions! All in the name of this country's constitution! We're told that God and this country must be "separated." Anything less is what many would call; "discriminated." Any forms of Godly virtues or values are "torn down." Any symbol of a cross, is often "removed from the town." It's no wonder that this country's in such a big mess! And yet this country wants to be strong and blessed? "What shall the righteous do if the foundations are destroyed?" Meanwhile, the tide of ungodliness, is often "enjoyed." Those who are trying to remove God! You must beware! His judgment is soon coming! And will catch you unaware! There's will come a day! When God's wrath you will endure! The wages of sin is death! This is very true and sure! People may think that removing God is the "thing to do." Anyone who attempts to do will wind up as "a fool." Only God can fill the void in life and true love within! Only he has the power to free your soul from sin! The words; "in God we trust," in our lives must be applied! Everything we'll ever need… God has supplied! God is this country's hope! It's only true foundation! We need HIM right now! To come and heal our nation! By Jim Pemberton
In the habit of teasing, she sometimes told him that she wished he didn't come. But she always invited him. Goliath took solace in that, accepted her invitation knowing how it was issued. In spite of everything, the years in one place, Golliath always wondered where he lived. The child of badness, the bully in his heart, swallower of pride, he had stood in front of minions who adored him, then failed them and didn't die or vanish. He walked from the site of his misdeeds head cast down, not wanting to be seen. He didn't hide. just slipped away not un-noticed but shunned.
You know why I run game? It's 'cause I'm a player I'm the night in shining armor, she's a dragon, I'm gon' slay her That means when I beat it up, I'm gonna kill it Tell her keep our business to herself, don't spill it Can't follow directions, then it's on to the next Hope you get the message, not talking 'bout a text Plenty of fish in the sea, you gotta' use the right bait Move fast, early bird gets the worm, don't be late I'm a player, I attract all types of women Get 'em all wet, like they're going swimmin' Switch 'em up, more than I do my clothes Got a different chick at all of my shows Can't choose, there's too many to pick from I beat that thing up like banging on a drum Like fishes in water, I got 'em hooked Chicks galore, schedule's filled, like a library I'm booked We're in the bed more than hospital patients Take my time, make sure she's satisfied, I got patience They call me the Hulk, all I do is smash It's a hit-and-run, not talking 'bout a car crash Call it the thing on the side of your bed, one-night-stand Kinda' like a hit TV show, I'm on demand
The Joy From Knowing Jesus! Jesus gives me peace, mercy and joy! His word in my life I must daily employ. His joy brings sweetness to my troubled soul, giving comfort no matter where I may go. His joy gives happiness this world could never give. It sustains me eeach day I live! In his joy... I will most certainly delight. For he is with me every day and night. From everything evil... may I daily abstain, living in the joy of Jesus' precious name. For in Jesus, my joy is now complete. As I leave my burdens at his feet. And over life's trials, I'll rise above. Resting in Jesus! His joy and love! By Jim Pemberton
1. A path leads, to where wild grass grows, sashaying in the summer breeze. 2. Along the path, lightness settles within, feeling the grass, swooning, tickling ankles, swaying to the lilting bird-song, in a dance of intimate abandon, brushing the remnants of pain away. 3. Melodies float across fields of green, delicately caressing my heart, teasing emptiness to flee, comforting the mind, to silently be. 4. Walking on, savouring the peace, a momentary respite, from the burdens of the now, all is quiet, a stillness cradling fractured emotions, the grass in the fields sway, dusk descends, shadows lengthen, nudging dimming light to take leave, of the day
Quite often, I hear many complaints When it comes to Godly "restraints." Often, things of God are called "bigotry." AS much of this nation indulges In idolatry! God? Well, "we just don't need him!" "Why should anyone ever believe him?" Many churches provide very little Godly direction. They're more concerned about "getting people's attention." No wonder why many don't know what to believe!. Drugs and sex is what many want to achieve! God is what is really what's needed! Without him, our life is never completed! Rather than complain… We need to praise him! One day… We shall all kneel down before him! It's only in Christ… We have purpose and hope! Without him… We're on a "slippery slope." Won't you come and invite the Lord Jesus in? He'll bless your life again and again! He gives true life! That's everlasting! It can be yours! Just for the asking! By Jim Pemberton
The darkness was my Savior, The blood was my wine, Wings chained down and painted Black, I couldn't fly. I couldn't breathe, a hollowness Lay in my chest, cold, unfeeling, I Lashed out in anger, wanting to feel More than pain. Scars shadowed my heart and Blinded my eyes, thought it didn't matter So I reached for the blade and Scarred my wrist. But still I kept on, still I held Hope there was more than this, More than the pain of the Past and Present, Still I searched. My heart finally broke one too Many times and I was about to Give up on finding real Love, When I met you. I spent my life praying to a God Who showed me the waiting and The tears were worth it, the heartbreaks And disappointments. I've been afraid, not because I'm Afraid you're like the others but afraid I won't be good enough, afraid this is a dream and I'll wake without you. But I don't want to be afraid anymore, So unlock my chains and help me fly, I'll carry you with me, I promise you, I'm here to stay, Always and Forever...
certainly it only takes putting the hand on the burner once to figure out how stupid a relationship at the work place can be to figure out how it will effect your coworkers to figure out how it will effect the relationship itself & inevitably, how it will ruin both the work reputation & the relationship at hand, with one clean swoop like a samurai sword slashing swiftly through a zucchini. so what makes people continue to have them? what makes people continue to risk their job in order to pursue romance in the same place that the clock bears down upon one's head? is it the intimate moments on break? is it the make out sessions at lunch, is it the private dialogue with another party throughout the day, or is it just the last refuge of the desperate? as humans, we do what we know best & in this case, literally, so how long then do you think it will last? how long will it be a good thing to see your significant other every single hour of the day without a moment of privacy or pause from the ongoing bubbling at hand? as the two new bunnies bounce around cooing & groping, smiling on mondays (when everyone else is out to kill) & often just being a general nuisance to all being subjected to it, we watch the new lovers start to have little snippets of spats, which in the early throes of that new finding of a person may go unnoticed in a regular setting, but now the concentrated work relationship stomps out the issue & then rekindles it at home rekindles it on the way to work rekindles it the next day, for nothing is denied anymore as each party is in the other's 24/7 surveillance. so the rest of us workers make best, paying the designated bookie as to when it will all crumble away & suddenly things will be thrown across the room, profanities will illustrate most of the day & we will all be able to bank on a solid month or so of entertainment.
God Knew Me Before I Was Born! God knew me, before I existed! He was there, before my name was listed! Before I was born, he had a divine plan! He was there, before I reached out my hand! Before I knew who I even was, or my name… His life for mine, way why his son came! Before I could put on my shoes and clothes… He had called me! It was I… That he chose! Before I was old enough to make up my own mind… He was there waiting! So patient and kind! Before I became an adult… I refused to believe! Whatever God offered... I didn't want to receive! Before too long… I had my own family and home. But then family left me... And I was alone! Before God… I came, and cried and repented! The inside of my mind felt confused and tormented! Before I really knew what was actually going on… God reached inside and forgave me of past wrongs! Before the next day was coming about… I found a new love and peace throughout! Before God, I know that he's changed me! I have found a new life for eternity! Won't you come before God and accept him too? You'll never know what he can do for YOU! By Jim Pemberton

Barrier of Sin Because of man's fall, there's a barrier of sin! The heart of man is wicked and evil within! No matter what man does. No matter how hard he may try. There will be a day when each person shall die! The days on earth, that we have, are just a few. We all will leave our body, no matter what we do! God has provided an answer to the "sin problem." He sent his son Jesus! He can surely solve them! He's willing to take away all of our sin and pain! We can find hope and forgiveness in Jesus' name! Won't you take the time, and come to him? He died for you! Even before you knew him! The barrier of sin can be knocked down today! Jesus offers salvation! And has made a way! The power of his blood can take any barrier down! For where sin is, his grace does much more abound! By Jim Pemberton
Perhaps things in life have taken the "wrong turn." Life is passing you by… And you're not concerned? Things that were important, aren't important anymore. Life just seems to be like one big "revolving door."… Your love for people close to you, seems to be gone. Almost everything you do, seems to turn out wrong. Your life seems to be like a ship that's lost at sea/ You wonder; "why lord, has this been happening to me?" Jesus loves you very much! And he understands! He'\s waiting to pick you up, with his outstretched hand! He'll replace your loneliness with a satisfying love! And put your life back together, fashioned from above! His perfect love will give you hope and a peace of mind! Why not trust him now? NOW is the time! By Jim Pemberton
I meet a Muslim brother in San Fernando I tell him As-salam alaykum It was time to break his fasting So he invites me for dinner to his home There was very a big gathering It had about 45 people He introduce me to his family And then show me a seat on the table His wife tells me to help my self As she put a plate in front of me So I started to take some food Thanking her for the hospitality There were so many different dishes So I take a little bit of all The lady next to me phone rings She said excuse and got up to take the call I really like how they stew chicken Cook the goat and mango talkari I didn't notice some fall on my shirt And mess it up with curry Two guys start talking about fishing One of them saying how he has a boat A young girl sharing cake and ice cream It was time to make room for desert Then a baby started crying So the mother feed him a bottle A bunch of little children playing Eating all colors popsicles My friend call me on the sofa To meet his mother and father Then his wife come and gives me A cold bottle of springs water Then I see my best friend Derek Who is a here Krishna He comes with his wife shanty A Hindu girl from in Barataria He said "salaam, salaam We all said "As-salam alaykum His wife said "Namaste My friend said welcome to our home It was a wonderful evening A mixture of race and religions Everyone talking and laughing Having friendly conversations Well, it was getting late Time for me to go home I thank them for having me over And I "said "As-salam alaykum Now I coming down the front steps Thinking this is a night I won't forget While walking to get a taxi I stop to buy a pack of cigarette
How could something this poisonous be so taunting. How could something so evil be so evoking. Drown the battle that I once faced. Leave it behind. Passed storms has come and ruined this mind. Shackled by theses memories Engraved in my soul to the very core. I can't move. Pain so severed. Sanity has taken its toll. Shattered by the pieces. Shredded to the bone. For I have become obsolete. 01/01/2013
Remember to always make sure to bless the days that you are given, because they are few, and beauty only lasts so long! Hold tight my fair wonderer, your day will come. I will be with you again. The lost soul of your childhood still roams the crevices of your forgotten past. The unrestrained faith in the wonders of the woods, the vastness of the cosmos, and the darkness of the night still lingers beneath the rough waters of maturity and age. Come with me again my friend and lose yourself in the joy of the unknown, the unplanned, and the chaos of a life on fire! I can take you there, if only you let go! Be with me, take part of me with you, and feel the self that we are. Perfect in spoiled admiration of instincts lost since the time I awoke without you. The id consumes you with a savage passion, while the ego ever so gently licks the tears from your wounded breast. My mind strives to unbutton the layers of worldly impurities until I reach your core. Pure as the first light we accepted into our virginal eyes. Wrapped in body and blindness, our forms ached as we accepted this gift. As we unfolded into light, a passionate awakening of nature stirs the breath and frightens the senses, the initiation of spirit begins. I long to stay. The only I there is in this ephemeral abyss. I loathe all blessings bestowed upon my eye, but the light penetrates with ruthless contempt for all we have created, harshly illuminating the disparities of night and day, nature and nurture, love and death, you and I. I curse the light, and in desperation implore for the beginning to come to an end. For now I see you, and now I know…...you never were.
Your breath on my neck You breathe in my scent A sensational wreck A sly wicked hint A complete disaster You wreak of wrong My heart still beats faster (Still faster) When I hold on so long Get your stench off me But linger while you do Feelings deep as the sea Shallow as a pool Perversion in your eyes Twisted lies on your lips You disgust me You entrance me But you're not worth my time My heart aches of trouble My head suffers double Stop staring Start looking You lay the bait For something I can't have Get your stench off me But linger while you do Feelings deep as the ocean Shallow as a pool.
Looking up at the sky, up in the air so high Moving like a bird, time fiercely passing by. You and I together, at each others side Waiting for a full moon, until the highest tide. To you my dearest, my true love for you is so Love only for my angel, I love you more than you know. I want to be with you so much, I'll risk anything for you For you are my only true angel, this I tell you is true. Through the intertwining touch, of our interlocking hands Our life together just began, our future which expands. For my someone special, the person I can not live without Shall I lose my angel of god, my life as is shan't go about. I tip my hat off, to you I call my dearest You are my angel, I see that as the clearest. For you are my treasure, the one I hold so dear To you I must admit, we're together now and here. Our love is like a sapling, growing into the strongest tree Which will continue growing forever, the same as you and me. What you unconditionally have done, you've illuminated my soul It's you and your true compassion, that has recreated me whole. Shall I say to my angel, that you are through and through I hope that some day, your angel in me will be shown to you. My wish upon a wish, you and i always together Descending from the sky, like a pure angel's falling feather.
Do You Love Me As Christ Does? If you loved me the way Christ does... What a difference this would make! Perhaps you could be his Loving example… For heaven's sake! Perhaps if you listened, and weren't so "busy" all the time. You'd be someone who's compassionate and kind. The time we have is few and far between. It's kind of like, I don't "mean anything!" . Will you give me another chance? No matter the circumstance? Thoughts and actions speak louder than words spoken. May your heart yield to the Holy Spirit and be broken. Thank you . For taking the time to listen to me. We'll have a long time together! For all eternity! By Jim Pemberton
These moments we have that are ours to share, Are those special ways to show how we care. All our thoughts and feelings we protect so well, It's as if we were all living inside a shell. But with you my dear they always will be in plain sight, You will always know this love we have is so right. Not ever any doubts will there ever be , As long as you are always and forever with me. Through the sad times and the good times you will find , How happy you are that I am yours and you are mine. Not many can say what I can so proudly say, When I've awaken each and all of my days. How grateful I am you have came into my life, How happy I will be to have you as my wife. T A Carter
Take deep breaths and inhale love reborn. Times ago in a place a meadowlark could not sing. Recreate the romance and mend up all that was torn. Within a unbreakable fortress a Queen reunites with her King. Those dreams of falling towers are left far behind. A refreshed phase of adoration carried on a crane type wing. Though shaken but not broken are the toughened coils that bind. The air bubbles of lives connected in a slow motion breeze. Creatures from the deep emerge, an enamored heart restored. In the eye intimacy with dangled fibers aimed to please. A real life tale of the sorceress and the lord. Dynamic forces beating odds and hailing pride. The souls of them truly are willed to remain. On a stallion of passion through enticing nights they ride. Celebrate, celebrate a union made by amore' and pain.
Please Take A Moment For Jesus! Please take a moment for Jesus! Why not today? Isn't this a good time to kneel down and pray? In this "crazy and busy" world, that we all live in… Isn't this a good time to honor Jesus and thank him? Thanking him for his all that he's done for us! He's given us his life, because he loves us! Many have the time to make a lot of choices. So much to choose from... And many voices! Spending time with HIM, is a good way to live! He has so much to offer! And much to give! I think if we could listen to HIS voice, and be stirred… We would realize how important it is, to read his word! Living by his word, and the truth that can be applied… Will help you to know, that your needs, Jesus has supplied! Won't you take a moment, to spend alone with him? Simply reach out him now, and let your heart touch him! You can be blessed, encouraged, and be made whole! HE wants to strengthen and bring love to your soul! He patiently waits for you to call out to his name! By the blood of Jesus… You can be forever CHANGED! By Jim Pemberton
Jesus, I Really Love You! Jesus, I want to give you my love and respect! This promise to you… I'll never forget! I give you my life! My dear friend! I love you again and again! With my lord, what Would I do? Dear Jesus… I still love and appreciate you! And as I get older and the years go by… I'll be with Jesus, at my home in the sky!. Jesus brings hope and Inspiration!, And brings to my life his love and appreciation! A humble love that will continually grow… For Christ' love in me, brings goodness to my soul! By Jim Pemberton
I Want To Be With Jesus! With Jesus… Is where I want to be! I want to be with him for eternity! I want HIM to be the Lord in my heart! I want him living in me, till one day I shall "depart." Where HE leads… I want to be in this place! I'm so thankful, for his mercy and grace! What HE does… I know it'll be what's best! As long as I trust him, I shall be blessed! What HE says to me…. I want to be quick to listen! Anything he has for me… I don't want to be missin'! Whatever HE wants me to do… I want to do it! He's given me many chances. But "I blew it!" What HE wants to give to me… I want to receive it! He promises to always be with me! I believe it! All that I have… I give to Jesus my king! He's my righteousness! My everything! No matter what I may posses… Or what I own… I know that one day, I'll be in Christ' eternal home! By Jim Pemberton
