The Thorn

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
The thorn is deep.
Out of the wound, it seeps.
My blood, flowing freely.
His blood, He shed for me.

The thorn causes pain.
Will He die in vain?
I must take a stand,
While I hold His hand.

The thorn is inside.
Consumes all my pride.
Reveals what I hide.
The life two people know,
Something I do not show.

The thorn seeks to destroy.
To take all my joy,
Causing pain and sorrow.
Just God, me and shadow.

The thorn is always there,
Piercing my skin bare.
My soul, naked and raw.
My heart is in awe.

The thorn I will embrace,
Even to my disgrace.
See through heaven's eyes,
Destroying all my lies.

The thorn is my cross.
Daily I must bear it.
All my life, it will cost,
For this love, to share it.

The thorn is a blessing.
My life is never the same,
Constant pain, scorn and shame.
God likes to keep us guessing...

Just to Die

There are many days when I STILL just want to die after all that has happened in my life. Yet somehow, Jesus continues to give me joy, strength, and breath in my lungs, thereby fascilitating a reason and purpose for my life on this Earth. It's not all bad because I do have an amazing son who is my greatest blessing in this world! The times when he drives me nuts are still great because I love him so much and wouldn't exchange him for anything else in this world! The difficulty is in dealing with a constant pain and sorrow over what I have lost. God's word talks about marriage being two people becoming one and for me there is no longer a one, because it has been destroyed, ripped apart, decimated into utter oblivion. I would much rather lose a limb than to have to endure this pain I feel everyday. The pain of my soul being torn in two, at least that's what it feels like. For some reason, God has continually given me lots of love towards this person. The same love that ...

Getting Back in the Groove

I have not used this blogging site for quite some time. One, because life has become insanely busy. Two, because I have not been as interested in writing poetry or much else until recently. And well, I have had so many other websites that I could write on along with this one. I realized today that I need to simplify all of it, for my sake and for the sake of the woman I love. Why do we need to have so many DIFFERENT websites for communicating? I realize that I have become one of the many people who got hooked on using the web for this kind of thing when it was becoming big in the late 90s. I do not find that to be any excuse for joining how many sites all at once? Even if I joined one just to check it out, I can not find a better waste of my time than that. It is utterly ridiculous! So, I will now only have this website for blogging my thoughts on and for writing poetry and Facebook, for networking purposes mostly. I hate the drama the net is causing me and the woman I love a...
