His love washes over me
Breaking onto my heart
I can taste it on my lips
Feel it wash over my skin
It makes me shiver
As it refreshes my spirit
I can hear the roar
Of His love building up
Only to crash over me
Dragging me down
Down into His embrace
My lungs feel like bursting
But He releases them with His love
As I breathe into Him and he into me
At times I feel He is receeding
But as I give myself over to Him
He will carry me along in His way
His love is wild and treacherous at times
Tossing me around,
Pounding me over and over
I try to escape
Come up for air
But He is there, all around me
When His love is gentle
It laps at my feet
Carressing my toes
It entices me to move closer
And sink into Him

We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart’s blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring-impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change. Read the rest of this entry »

 All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle.
 Why not I with thine?

I tried to write you a poem
but you didn’t hear it Read the rest of this entry »

I try so hard to please you,
But everything I do
Just makes a bigger mess of things,
And sometimes I hurt you. Read the rest of this entry »

I promise to give you the best of myself
and to ask of you no more than you can give.

I promise to respect you as your own person
and to realise that your interests, desires and needs
are no less important than my own. Read the rest of this entry »
