Uni❤

O, feeble, pathetic soul –
Love-sick – taking its toll.
Thirsty, achy, sorrowful, sad;
Searching, grasping – heart gone, mad.

Wanting, hoping, longing to be
Adored, cherished, known – free.
Alone, desperate, trying;
Heart: cold – sighing.

Rejected, discouraged, confused;
Mind, body, soul – bruised.
Desire: gone awry;
Spirit, pondering: defy?

Then! – Lovely: She –
Beauty: came to me;
Such like He!
Already, not yet — Intimacy.

Love: revealed — posed;
At last, bone of my bones;
Flesh of my flesh!
O, Lord! this gift…for me? ‘Yes!’

Astounded, dumbfounded, dazed;
Bewildered, I, amazed!
Perfect likeness, in every way;
He – still – molding us: clay.

☁

However…ashamed, I confess;
’Tis joy, at times – feels…less.
Dark moments, bliss stolen –
Lies of jealousy, spoken.

Tears, heartache, shame –
O, Lord — why? Such pain!
When least expected,
A feeling creeps in: dejected.

Peace, oft’ times sought, in vain;
Once again – I – cannot claim.
Tenderly, each prickly agitation,
Reminds me of His gift: salvation.

❤

Uni❤ – Together: already, not yet.
Trusting, waiting – no fear, no fret.
O, beloved — let us rejoice!
May we be: one voice!

Love: with a capital ‘L’ revealed –
I, once sick, now: healed!
Still — desperate for Love;
He provides gifts, from above.

Please, beloved – may I be?
Obsequious, sacrificial, adoring;
Prostrate, servile, toadying;
Uni❤ – all of me, forever: giving.

⁂

Come, beloved —
Come away with me.
Together: may we be.
