Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Soul that thrashes
Heart that rusts
Sin drips in
Rips me apart
Will darkness win?
Will Christ depart?
Shall I break,
Evil will applaud.
All my mistakes
Reveal my façade.
Small compromises
Satan’s Enterprises
Business of lying
Knows I’m dying
Doesn’t care I’m buying’
Into fake “styling”
Cooked up and fryin’
My heart, deprivin’
Death now driving.
Oh, and I let it!
Chips out and betted
Casino of sensuality embedded
Forgot truth, barely read it.
Scripture gone, no cornerstone
Spirit aloft, dryer bones.
Unquenched thirst
Chronic hurt
Doctor examined
But abandoned…
At least I thought…
Once again, distraught.
O the drama of hearts:
Alive, dead, apart,
Shaken, buried, alarmed,
Still, rattled, charmed.
Romantic involvement,
Relational evolvement.
Pursuer, now pursued
By the true Groom.
Tried to seek and peruse
Other affections never bloom.
Mighty hands hold
My heart unfolds.
He’s real Love, I’m told.
Heart beats quicker
Feelings are thicker.
Shame comes
Pride runs
Broken crumbs
Tear drums
Washed cheeks,
I’m weak.
Love affair,
My fare.
Imagine my surprise
And evil’s demise
When grace shined
And Christ dined
With His Bride, unfaithful
But He remained faithful.
Affectionate eyes,
Gentle hands,
Removed lies,
Helped me stand.
Renewed, not abandoned.
Deep love; enchanted.
Restlessness now resting,
Surrender; stopped wrestling.
Refreshing waters flow
Spirit breathes, I grow.
Planted in His streams,
Grateful He redeems.
