Love Is

I Corinthians 13:4-8

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails."


Is Love

Love is patient. Love is patient
Love is patient!
Out of all the wonders love is from these
All its marvels that bring us to our knees
Why patient?
Is it the patience that we project when we are cross?
Is it the patience we speak of when we are at a loss?
For words, for reasons
During times that were seasoned
With trials, discomfort, the icks and ticks we go through when we're with each other
Our brother, sister, or lover?
Yes, that too.

But since we're talking about love
Let's look to the one above

God is love. Love is patient
Patience is waiting
God is patient. Love is waiting
For God's timing

Perfect love casts out all fear. It's clear
That to love like so requires more waiting than you know
For God's time, which is neither fast or slow
But it is a letting go
And letting God move through us, and thus
Love is patient

Love is patient
It's the first thing mentioned
Unexpected, but fitting
Because letting
God's love unceasing
Fill us to overflowing
Leads us to finding
What is
How to
Who to
And when to
Love

Dracula's Ranunculus

Dracula's affinity for ranunculus bordered ridiculous
To the point of using calculus and parabolas to predict the bloom of the flower fabulous

Then Dracula's time came to give the ranunculus
To the lovely Ursulas who had his heart rapturous

But alas! The ranunculus were not in season crushing Dracula's reason

"So sorry. Indeed I am." were the words of Dracula as was his weird vernacular
Nonetheless Ursulas says, "Don't be ridiculous!"

And her smile was enough for Dracula to reason
That it needn't matter the season
Nor what the calculus and parabolas said when the flower fabulous would bloom

For Ursulas herself was the flower fabulous, the rapturous ranunculus that's forever in bloom.

Quick Ones | Pursuing Inspiration Instead of Waiting

"I understand but I don't want to."
To live a lie is far worse than to die with truth.
Nothing is what it seems until you take your mask off first.
Go now!
Time is finite until you go.


Forever is when the longest part of your day is the part you don't want to end.
It means moments move you instead of time.
It means you wish to expand your experiences rather than repeat them.
Forever means pursuing the day, allowing yourself and your growth to make time worth your time; for you, for yesterday, for tomorrow and today.
Forever means now.


Will you my heart be known?
Please.
Will you explain yourself to me?
Do you have any direction?
Is there a method to your madness?
Do you even consider me in your decisions?
Can you even make decisions? Isn't that my domain?
You only feel, ache, and long.
I can still have my say, do my will.
But without you, it's less than halfhearted.
