I want to be IN LOVE again.
I know you love me,
and I love you.
I miss being IN LOVE
that mysterious
wonderful feeling of being IN LOVE.
 
That feeling that one has
when the one they love walks into a room.
The way the background fades
and all you can see
is them.
 
I miss the way my body felt when I was touched.
The way that my breath was hard to catch after kissing.
I miss those soul kisses that touched the very core of me.
 
I miss the way electricity went down my body
when I was dancing with you. 
This was how I felt when I was IN LOVE.
I want to be
IN LOVE again.

The words were hammered blows to my heart.
A stranger would dare not speak such words to me
crushing fists would they find quickly pounding their bodies.
 
The slap of the glove upon their face,
to face certain death on the field of honor.
The answer to your acts are simple enough,
you are an abuser of woman.
 
Your love of God and Jesus but a front
a lie to all.
Deep within your heart lies hate still pouring
on one who has loved you beyond all others.
 
A faithful friend
you no longer are to me.
I have seen your soul.
 
It is dark, black and ridden with the shit of the world
upon your lips.
Oh where, oh where did my love go.
You are without honor, heroism or truth in your declared love.

The mystery of lives lies before the veils of eternity.
Youth fades, beauty dims in the life before us. 
There is one constant in this phyical world;
it is the Love that our Lord has
for each and everyone of us.
 
Move ahead with faith in the Lord.
He was here before eternity existed.
He was planning your new home
even then.

I awoke as from my normal sleep
I had died in the night while asleep.
I had no fear
I was at peace.
 
My spiritual body no longer had pain
That nagging toothache was gone
I still had a body of sorts
It was pure energy ever-growing.
 
My field of vision was three sixty
not just forward and to the side.
I could see all around me.
 
I was in a land of beauty
that my former body
would not have been able to tolerate
the radiance of its sheer beauty
would have crashed a physical body. 
 
From afar a white silvery figure approached
It was my Lord in robes of flowing enegy.
His spiritual hand reached for mine.
 
With a gentle tug
He remarked,
“Come….we are going Home.”

“I have become a weary knight tired of battle.”

You get to a point in life
where you get a belly-full of people.
It is a slow process.
You get tired in reaching out.
 
You find you no longer want to be
the nice guy to all those folks in your life
that are thoughtless
totally self-serving
and basically
losers in their own life’s.
 
There is a calmness of spirit
you reach within your inner self.
Your body no longer does the things
you want it to do.
 
You realize how frail
you have become.
You no longer carry
the same fear of death.
 
Your greatest realization.
Those you love
do not love you back
in a kind and loving way.
 
You become closer
to the spirit and love
of your Lord.
 
The centering peace
in finding this
is now what is really important
in your life.
