Thence



Till death us do part, I pledge

Forsaking all other, keep I only unto thee

These vows for life will keep, by God's help

And there to, give my troth to thee.


Sometimes I think I glimpse eternity

When in those brown black eyes I look

I see myself and of the divinity

A cord of three strands written in the book.


It's me, you and Him, from here shall we go

One step a day, onward we progress

True love to the world we will show

His grace and love we shall profess

Expectation: A lament

The weather app showed rain, Sally’s been praying for days. The heat had bound her like a chain; The heat cycle ran like a maze. The rain did not arrive. The app was wrong again. Like a watchman she stayed till five Expectation only brings pain. Expectation, like comparison, drains the mind. I’ve slain a lamb in expectation.  My sheep’s clothing made me blind. Is this a dream or just imagination? The rain will not come, nor will the harvest; The toil must start, the soil prepared. When songs arise through the forest, The harvest will again be shared.  Ebbtide Thlaṭau 09, 2026

My forever home

  If one could measure beauty, The moon in her ethereal shimmer, Or the stars in their dazzling charm, Or nature in her rustic elegance, All would tip her scales. If one could measure love, Her grace-laden love would, Outweigh them all. For the moons and stars and nature, Love is a word they do not know. Like a bee to a flower, So am I to her love. Like a mercy’s doorway for a stranger, Deep and boundless. And I belong.  My forever home. Eventide 02 Thlahmur, 2025

Lachrymose

  When winds and waves, in mimic strife, Clash and roar like war come to life, You calm this troubled-headed man, His war-torn soul protected from bloodshed. How I wish the cold winter nights would never end, Like stories by the hearth, with no parting bell tolled. But to slow down time, we could only pretend, For nights, like life and time, do not last forever. Three thousand useless miles now keep us apart, Yet this heart yearns for your presence, Like a little boy by his mother’s side, For in those two eyes, I found my home. Eventide Thlavul 06, 2025
