Poetry
These writes seem to intermingle so intimately with each other that I would dare to label them as :
Mankind's honeymoon suite-
The Justice, the Covenant, the Truth and the Love
The garden snake lays an egg-the Justice
What came first?
The loving liberal's lie? (liberalism?)*
Or, the loving liberal's hate?
An issue raging since the beginning of time
A time in that glorious garden,
when that first loving liberal liar
proposed to a woman:
"The law laid down before you...
SURELY, it is not
the SPIRIT of that law.
YOU will NOT certainly die!"
There, the pragmatic serpent inoculated
the roosting of the law...
And with this first denial,
heel biting hate was hatched
Hate for those who refuse
to see or understand
that the true spirit of the law
deserves some liberal roosting
Hate for the law
Hate for the law giver
Hate for Divine Sovereignty
HATE!,
FOR HATE'S SAKE!
Hate that grows up in selfishness,
Becoming fully developed iniquity.
Iniquity deserving justice.
Again, getting fertilized by another
loving liberal lie roosting...
again, wantonly denying justice.
The hatched hate matures
and proliferates the lawlessness...
for its grand ancestor,the serpent,
knows the power of denied justice
He conceived it in the garden
"If I can get first one, to be an apple munching shrew,
and then, get ALL to be law usurping loving whores,
When they compromise their sense of justice...."
"Cock - a - doodle- lee--doo", he crows.
Then, it's Jesus bar the door!"

Engaging the LORD of the Ring - The Covenant
Was Peter the Lord's first estranged future bride?
He may not have even known,
that before the morning rooster crowed...
That he was THE GROOM'S future bride!
After having feasted with the future GROOM...
Not fully understanding:
"In a little while, I must leave the room"...
It was upon the GROOM'S avowed,
not yet delivered
promissory RING,
that Peter, in tacit helplessness
failed to himself cling.
The BRIDEGROOM promised him THIS RING,
But feeling jilted
by some kind of mortal fling...
he unwittingly obeyed the OLD Jewish law,
and renunciation fell thrice from his jaw.
Powerless without that RING,
Peter felt that lonely,dejected,estranged sting
But after the BRIDEGROOM gracefully came back into the room and delivered to all of man
THAT Promised, power laden wedding BAND,
HE reafirmed with PETER and to us ALL,
HIS sublime Engagement Vow:
Calling on HIS BRIDE
to lovingly, and obediently wait...
until HE can perfectly fill Her banquet plate.
What exactly is this engagement bling?
Of course, the HOLY SPIRIT of TRUTH is this RING.
and WHEN we say "yes"
to THIS suitor who is in fact
THE REAL Lord of the RING....
THEN, We rely on IT'S power to get Us to the celebratory time...
When We gloriously sip the WEDDING wine!
So We wait for Our BRIDEGROOM!
THE RETURNING KING!
TO HIS GLORY, We SHALL SING!

The plight of THE GARDEN snake and his prey- The Truth
Satan, being the GARDEN snake that he is,
not only does he want to devour our eternal souls,
But Satan being the Charming snake that he is, desires to swallow up humanity whole.
he encircles the earth patiently,
methodically
rattling his tale.
Enchanting us with everything that he can surely regale
That rattling enchanting sound shakes on and on,
his prey so enchanted as if nothing is wrong
he slithers, We blither
he rattles, We prattle
Slither,blither, rattle,prattle,slither,blither rattle,prattle!
The rattle of diversion abounds
The rattle of entertainment is it's sound
EN-CH-CH-CH-CH-CHANTED!
The rattle of useless baubles, it smarms
The rattle of materialism is it's charm
EN-CH-CH-CH-CH-CHANTED!
The rattle of soul searing conscience sedates
The rattle of pharmacy seduction reverberates
EN-CH-CH-CH-CH-CHANTED!
The rattle of hopelessness it drones on
The rattle of delusion and ignorant illusion is it's song
EN-CH-CH-CH-CH-CHANTED!
The rattle of helplessness begins
The rattle of tyrany and poverty is it's din
EN-CH-CH-CH-CH-CHANTED!
The earth under the snake's belly begins to shake and violently thunder
Reminding him of the cause of his OWN prideful blunder,
that has eternally set that lowly serpent asunder,
so he continues on with his attempted eternal plunder
STILL THE ONCOMING HOOFBEATS CONTINUE TO THUNDER!!
Slithering closer, the snake opens it's mouth wide,
On humanity he is hopeful to himself soon imbibe
BUT Like a fairy tale,
upon a white horse does the SAVIOR, a snake-slaying knight ride!
Only THIS time, to gather up HIS UNenchanted Bride!
She's sinless, unblemished by the blood HE earlier shed!
After picking her up, HE stomps upon the lowly snakes head!
Oh, to be prayed upon
and not to be preyed upon!
Amen!

Our hope unveiled- the Love
As vows are exchanged,
Lord, my obscured mortal eye,
It Vacillates....
between joyful tears expressed
and pain filled ones You've dried
This transient veil that separates us though...
It can be as pellucid as my lung's last lingering breath,
or, as opaque as my heart's pounding and palpable pride.
But a hope filled singularity
WILL finally sublimely consummate
that presence always felt
As the dimensional veil is lifted,
and our souls kiss on the other side.
The congregation of angels
they rejoice over witnessing this Romance most Divine:
Between Bridegroom and His sanctified and Radiantly transformed Bride!
When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Colossians 3:4 NIV
Hosea 2: 16-23
“And in that day, declares the Lord, you will call me ‘My Husband,’ and no longer will you call me ‘My Baal.’ For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and they shall be remembered by name no more. And I will make for them a covenant on that day with the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens, and the creeping things of the ground. And I will abolish the bow, the sword, and war from the land, and I will make you lie down in safety. And I will betroth you to me forever. I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy. I will betroth you to me in faithfulness. And you shall know the Lord
I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him.
2 Corinthians 11;:2 NIV
