By the Comfort of It Given
Caught to be wrapped up tight too often...
And too much,
On edge and distant.
Resisting to admit...
There are issues.
With some kept,
To qualify one's purpose.
One's wish to be burdened by self conflict.
And a remorse that bites...
To expose a bitterness.
One often invites to a welcomed visit.
A patience unconditional...
That comes to one in love,
With someone like this...
Usually goes unnoticed.
To eventually be dismissed,
And taken for granted...
By the comfort of it given!
Until it is gone.

With A Protection Of Respect Expected
Clearly it will be displayed one day...
True fellowship.
With a courtesy that is felt and meant.
And none of this will need a law...
To research for documentation,
When the current regimented disarray obeyed...
Of nonsensical racism thaws to go away.
With a protection of respect expected...
That comes to visit and is welcomed stay.
No one today benefits at all from conflict.
Who is seen rejoicing from these sickening fits?
Anyone believing they hold an advantage,
By the persistent inciting of this...
Will admit how debilitating,
The insistence of this weakness is.
Only those who perceive,
They have interests to protect...
Will eventually come to see,
An advancement of limitation...
Is like an epidemic that diseases,
One's mind confined to a self inflicting quarantine...
That ravages and binds with a stagnation of lost time.
And that someday will come soon...
With a cure for all to leave these issues behind.

In Between Those Moments Gone
In between those moments gone,
And those wished to be...
I finally realized,
I can not continue to analyze my life.
It has to be lived.
In the time given I am living it!
This life!
My life.
And right I wanted it.
Free of tricks and traps.
No more patience could I give to that!
In between those moments gone,
And those wished to be...
I had to let go!
From the redoing of the 'what ifs'.
And the sitting with emotions reminisced,
To feel them still existing.
'Something' had to end.
I knew it was 'my' resisting.
And...
In between those moments gone,
I learned how to begin to believe...
In me!
And severing myself away from conflict,
Was no longer a question welcomed to visit.
It became my duty.
My reality.
To free my soul.
In between those moments gone,
And those wished to be...
I knew I had to maintain and hold onto my dreams.

Just to Have Their Way
Issues.
Of all kinds.
And varying flavors are there.
Share yours or select one.
Discuss as many as you dare!
Those with them,
Aren't bashful at all.
In fact...
Those who sit,
Without willing to share their issues quick.
Are often dismissed as difficult to get along with.
Since they aren't afraid to say...
Those with issues,
Also choose to have their insecurities displayed...
To block what others may do,
Just to have their way!
And usually they get it...
Only to expose themselves dimwitted!

Flight of the Naked Hearts
Some had been on sleeves.
For years grieving
With emotions deep.
And taken for granted...
By those who believed them weak,
And soft of spine.
They loved too much...
And too much left behind.
To be found in concern...
For someone who had not learned,
To recognize
Sincere eyes that carried love!
The flight of the naked hearts...
Chose to depart
Instead of dipping into bitterness.
And broken hearts to mend...
To heal and break again!
With arguments to defend...
Why they love!
And love like theirs will never end!
The flight of the naked hearts...
Begins!
And very few...
Who practice spewing venom,
Will come to understand.
Until an unsuspecting fang...
Appears from the mouth of a friend claimed.
Who pierces them to expose
Blood that's sucked!
A loved one they gave up,
Would never have had those thoughts to allow!
Or inflict that kind of pain!
And no unconditional love left comes...
To heal the depth of the drip dropp blood letting,
Felt in this sorrow!
Is left to regain!
All tomorrows...
And the comfort known
From yesterday has gone.

Unconditional, unconditional

Who else would let someone nail them to a cross
For the sake of others so they would not be lost
No one, No one, will go that far for us
Who else would let someone get away with so much wrong
But still extend them gret
No one, No one, have so much love for us
The kind of love he shows is unconditional
His love don't come and go it's unconditional
Who else but him
He's a constant friend
Even when others turn them backs against
No one, No one is always there for us
So what kind of love
So even when your closest friends and family give up on you
Theres not a day when you can't depend on him

In The Midst Of Creating Conflict
Wishing for a past to return to relive,
Has to be those wishes made by the ones...
Doing a procrastinating done.
They did it then and still do now.
And there are many living,
Who believe they are owed to be served.
As if for no other reason they exist.
To live to criticized to bemoan their failures.
And the ones who go unnoticed,
With a sacrificing done to condone...
Take no one or anything for granted.
With a doing not to complain or it shown.
And...
Often those believing they are owed to be served,
Are in the midst of creating conflict...
Anywhere they are allowed to critique and whine.
With a finding of doing this as fulfilling their purpose.
As if to make their presence known.

More Than Life Itself
You never said you were perfect,
But you always were to me.
Loving you was always worth it,
Cause you see so much in me.
And when Im down,
Youre there to lift me.
You come around,
When I need a friend.
And no one loved me like you do,
Unconditional and true.
Youre the shoulder that Ive always known
And the hand that says Im not alone
More than myself,
I love you more than life itself!
Did u know that I get lonely?
At the thought of you not being here.
Can you see that youre the only,
Only one that disappears?
And when I fear you are the comfort
The one who steers me to the light.
And no one loves me like you do.
Unconditional and true.
Youre the shoulder that Ive always known
And the hand that says Im not alone.
More than myself,
I love you more than life itself.
I love! I love! I love you!
And I dont care if it sounds trite.
Ill say it over and over
It makes me feel alive
You give me all my fire
By watching what you live
By what you believe
So many things you taught me
And even when you caught me
I always knew that you could still see the best in me
The best in me
No one loved me like you do
Unconditional and true
Youre the shoulder that Ive always known
And the hand that says Im not alone
I love you more than life itself
I love you more than life itself
I love you more than life itself
I love you more than life itself
More than you know
More than you know
I love you more than life itself!

Why ever not for Thad
A heaven without animals
would be no paradise for me.
Pets love is unconditional
and given unreservedly.
The pets which have preceded me
although their leaving caused me pain
I am quite certain I shall see.
The love we shared will still remain.
Because they act instinctively
as their creator meant them to
They are from sin completely free
As innocents entitled to
pass through the pearly gates with ease.
Greet their creator face to face
In answer to the fervent pleas
of spirits who have earned their place.
Perhaps in time I’ll qualify
though I am burdened down with sin.
I cannot see a reason why.
St Peter will not let them in.

Thank You For Reminding Me
Because I thought we both would benefit
By being in each other's presence.
That's why I approached you!
I thought you would find that to be true too.
But you chose to use that
To unleash some unresolved issues...
And bitterness,
You wish to keep!
And I have long since learned to forgive.
However...
I will not forget,
The bitterness you reflect.
That reminds me of myself...
When I was self involved.
With a selfishness I have years ago left,
Behind!
And you are not the kind I wish to waste my time with!
That self centeredness I have dismissed.
Thank you for reminding me,
Just how much I have grown.
Without needs to dump my insecurities,
On someone else's shoulders!
And you?
Seem to do what you do well.
And I do not wish to observe that in practice!
Or keep it rehearsed in my life.

Love Bites
When you feel safe
When you feel warm
Thats when I rise
Thats when I crawl
Gliding on mist
Hardly a sound
Bring the kiss
Evils abound
In the dead of night love bites
Into your room
Where in deep sleep
There you lie still
To you I creep
Then I descend
Close to your lips
Across you I bend
You smile as I sip
Now you are mine
In my control
One taste of your life
And I own your soul
Softly you stir
Gently you moan
Lusts in the air
Wake as I groan
In the dead of night love bites
Love bites you
Invites you
To feast in the night
Excites you
Delights you
It drains you to white
Love bites
You knew at first sight
Youd enjoy my attack
That with my first bite
Thered be no turning back
So come in my arms
I strike any hour
I will return
To trap and devour
In the dead of night love bites

Thank You GOD
Unconditional love is so hard…
When you know it's best…
It is a job never the less…
"An all working job"…
No wonder…(GOD is GOD) …
The CREATOR of all that creates…
Unconditional love needs a power…
Powerful enough to cover all the bases…
GOD is that ACE…
Unconditional love…is a PLACE…
As humans we try to be that…
Oak tree but the family winds…
Blow much harder then we expect…
So (we ourselves) call upon HIS… unconditional love…
As to help us…give unconditional love…
Family, friends, and lovers…
Pull at you from all sides…
Until you are about to explode…
But…GOD…yes…GOD…easiest that load…
HIS unconditional love for you or me…
Helps ease the confusion…
You then realize the delusion…
Unconditional love is the…solution…
GOD BLESSINGS… keeps one from doing some crazy things…
No matter how hard the fight…
Or color of the plight…
Stay on track….unconditional love is (The) light…

Unconditional Love
Written by gerry beckley, 1984
Found on perspective.
Unconditional love
Unconditional fear
Unconditional support
In your time of need
Oo, its unconditionally true
Oo, its unconditionally me
Unconditionally you
Its a spiritual world
When the darkness comes
But you gotta hold your head up
Hold your head up high
Oo, you got to take a look around
Oo, and listen when you hear the sound
Unconditional love (love)
This is right, this I know
I found out, long time ago
Someday baby well get there I know, oh, oh
Unconditional love
Unconditional hope
Unconditional desire
To have it work out fine
Oo, its unconditionally true
These things were dreamin of
Oo, its unconditionally yours
Unconditional love (love)
Oo, its unconditionally true
These things were dreamin of
Oo, its unconditionally yours
Unconditional love (love)
(love)

What They Do Best
They complain of a lack of involvement,
But have chosen to qualify those
Who wish to become involved.
And when no one wants to become involved...
They complain of a lack of involvement,
But have chosen to qualify those
Who wish to become involved.
And when no one wants to become involved...
They complain of a lack of involvement,
But have chosen to qualify those
Who wish to become involved.
And those who are involved...
Have no qualifications to qualify anyone!
And that's what they do best!

Terrified I Am to Commit Again
I think of it and try,
Not to show how utterly terrified I am...
To commit again to unconditional love.
But it is without conditions and prerequisites,
I wish for it!
Maturity is there.
And my heart searches seeking.
But the act of it...
Stays a reluctant fixture in my head.
Suppose my love is actually shared?
And a committment I am afraid to receive,
Is dared by someone with devotion to spare.
Suppose the love I give,
Is returned without thought.
And I am aware,
What is there is no longer sought!
I think of it and try,
Not to show how utterly terrified I am...
To commit again to unconditional love.
And I do not want to appear to be fickled.
Afterall I am at the age,
Where the gray in my hair...
More than testifies I have lived nine lives.
And appearances have arrived,
To prevent denial without my lips to lie.
But I...
Do think of it and try,
Not to show how utterly terrified I am...
To commit again to unconditional love.
But it is without conditions and prerequisites,
I wish for it!
And I do admit,
I am seeking someone to convince me...
I am on that side of time,
When the ticking of the tock heard from my clock...
Is no longer energized by sustained youth,
On watch with anticipated patience.
I'm looking for an express delivery these days.
And willing to change if...if,
Well...
We'll see!

Desensitize As If To Crave Such Whims
The sad and pitiful people.
Sobbing uncontrollably,
After performing repeatedly...
The most hideous of deeds to see.
And pathetically begging as is witnessed,
To be given a forgiveness they get...
Once again.
Over and over without an end.
The sad and pitiful people.
Making a mockery of those who give,
A forgiveness granted and bestowed...
On the ones whose heads should be severed,
And rolled to expose...
The evil that flows from their veins.
But those who forgive are seen scrubbing away,
Any remaining of dismissed stains.
As they comfort those evil to assist and mend,
To return to a doing with a feeling of being cleansed.
Yet emotionally inflicting more pain that begins,
With a testing of the ones...
Becoming more desensitized as if to crave such whims.

On Being Patient
Patient persons seldom lose;
Winning always seems their forte;
Time may not be on their side;
But in life, there’s no defeat!
Patience is a virtuous trait –
Key to success in all fields;
Though the odds are very great,
God is always on their side!
Patience makes a brave heart calm;
Tussles end in glorious ways;
Struggles seem simply trivial;
Battles end victoriously!
Patient men can earn a lot;
Patience gives an edge to all;
Patience turns the tide of things;
Patience brings expected ends.
Patience fountain rises high,
Baffling people’s minds and hearts;
Patience comes by sustained toil,
Bringing cheers to all who seek!
A patient soul unnerves foes;
None can take him for granted;
Life is rosy till the end;
Charm of patience grows always!

Nothing We Say Or Do Goes Unheard
Pray to ask for clarity to come.
Be thankful in your doing of this,
Since nothing that we say or do...
Goes unheard to be dismissed.
Humanity is not an accident,
That has occurred upon this planet Earth.
With a purpose that has meaning...
We are here to accomplish tasks.
Some have not asked to define,
The taste of their assigned flavors.
And often have found that following,
The scent of what has been presented...
Has resulted in their resentment.
Pray to ask for clarity to come.
Be thankful in your doing of this,
Since nothing that we say or do...
Goes unheard to be dismissed.
And ignoring the seriousness of a mission,
Increases the self infliction of conflict.
Pray...
And all will be revealed.

Conflict and Life
Conflict is a form of patience,
O Fortitude, your typical look is past us yet,
Yes, the room in the world of decisions has moved,
So patient is your loud life,
Living had not been the intention.
An example of life has delivered our message
To another example who has an attitude of good.
He is greater than the conflict in this world,
A world it is of motherly natures, of natural work.
Furniture of this Earth has bestowed comfort all the way to sacrifice
Itself by describing itself, and then the world shall recover
Forming love in between, so from this everlasting pleasure
Is a hatred of love, or a loving of love, or so much of it.

Dwelling On Your Miseries
All I hear is what isn't,
From you.
That's all I hear...
From your point of view!
Have you ever considered,
Climbing out of your shell?
Have you ever thought about,
What for you goes well?
I can understand you
Having issues in your life.
I can understand that.
But do you appreciate those things,
That are right?
Dwelling on your miseries,
For the purpose to share.
Seems so self involved.
And when you expose that like you do...
You don't wish to have your problems solved.
You want them there to linger!
All I hear is what isn't,
From you.
That's all I hear...
From your point of view!
Have you ever considered,
Climbing out of your shell?
Have you ever thought about,
What for you goes well?
You are locked into a situation.
And approval from others you seek.
You want others to waste time as you've done.
Constantly picking your wounds to reopen...
To prove your are suffering to everyone!
I can understand you
Having issues in your life.
I can understand that.
But do you appreciate those things,
That are right?
Dwelling on your miseries,
For the purpose to share.
Seems so self involved.
And when you expose that like you do...
You don't wish to have your problems solved.
You want them there to linger!
