LAUNCHING WORDS, SHIPS, PINK-COLORED SLIPS
–
A face that truly inspires,
Greed and avarice fires…
Dressed up nice
But cold as ice,
Does she care about what transpires?
–
Often idols are kept
Away from those who have wept…
A picture that’s true
Reality, will it do?
For those whose souls have left?
–
Women dressed up and admired,
No control over what transpired….
Men use romance
Justifying advance,
After brutally acquired.
(A different side of the coin, perhaps?)

HARD-TO-HEAR HAIKU
(Adult Topic)
–
Become impotent
His fading manhood laments…
But what is inside?
-JEC
–
Little feeling left,
No place left to vent the ache…
Must thinking change, too?
–JEC
–
Engorgement all gone,
Being faithful accepts lack…
No one left to love.
–JEC
–
How to love without?
Can a man still be a man”’
His woman knows that!
–JEC
–
Appreciates form,
Less likely liquid lusting…
Why keep the old ways?
–JEC
–
Is safer this way…
For all women that he sees,
Much less threatening!
–JEC
Power lust remains,
That…no non-phallic can cure…
Bad apples near tree.

STIR NOT UP LOVE OUT OF ITS TIME!
(Opinion, based upon Song of Songs 2:7)
Song of Solomon two: seven,
Reminding of the right time for heaven…
Out of context
Is frustrating sex,
Add reason to loaves with leaven.
–
Sing and dance while you’re young,
Older folks, more foolishly done…
Appointed seasons
Make good reasons
Accepting you are also-run!
–
Pressure without outlet
Just how stupid we get…
Romance out of time
Invites inner grime
When we are told, “NYET!”.
–Jonathan Caswell
WHY EVEN MENTION IT?
He saw it happening again,
Desiring more than a friend…
Resisting that pull
To pull the wool
Over his eyes and pretend.
–
At least once a year he goes,
into these attraction throes…
Always one-way
He dare not stay
Too close to a prospective rose.
–
Happens so often he
Knows eventually…
The “old nature”
Legislature
Votes for a juicy affaire!
–
“Resistance is futile,” some say,
But rather just walk away…
Run if you must
From growing lust,
Be true to your beloved night and day.

HIS SPIRIT POURED OUT
Praise God for Deborah Grey,
She’d been too long away…
Her phone call
Blesses us all
So thankful for God’s display.
–
We hadn’t spoken for months,
My wife did write her once…
Told her my story,
To God be glory,
He uses this spiritual dunce.
–
Knowing the truth made her laugh
WITH ME and on my behalf…
It’s joyful knowing
No one I’m snowing
Nor subject to judgmental wrath!
–
We talked for nearly an hour,
A wonderful cleansing shower…
This sister close
Deliberately chose
In us to His sweet Spirit pour!
–Jonathan Caswell
T.-G.-I.-S.-! *
T-G
-I-S,
Corporate worship
We address…
As the temples
Of the Lord
Together
Faith restored.
–
T-G
-I-S,
You must greet
Our Special Guest…
God the Father
Comes to you
In scripture
And worship too!
–
T-G
-I-S,
Corporately
God’s love addressed…
Come before
God’s holy throne:
Accept His mercy
For your own!
–
T-G
-I-S,
Clothed with peace
And righteousness…
Gather together
As if one,
Waiting for
God’s own Son!
–Jonathan Caswell
* T.-G.-I,-S….”Thank God For Saturday or Sunday…when we may worship the Lord Most High!  :0)
HEALING FOR WITHIN
Roe vs, Wade this year,
With nary a mention or tear…
Pagan presses
Ignoring messes
That they, in part, steered.
–
Only folks who care
Assert forgiveness is near…
Abortions done
Still have One
Who cleanses the inner fear.
–
When Christ comes in the air
Taking us home, also there…
Aborted souls waiting
And anticipating
Forgiving that fatal tear.*
–
Healing comes to within
Acknowledging confessing sin…
Take advantage of
Redeeming Love,
Don’t let the uncaring man win.
–Jonathan Caswell
* the fatal tear(-ing away of life)…forgiveness of the momma who aborted her child, BY THE CHILD SO ABORTED, is an idea expressed by this week’s TV broadcasts of THE GOSPEL TRUTH program with Andrew Womack–which included an interview with a woman who was the survivor of an attempted abortion by her mother. See http://www.awmi.net.
AH..THOSE MEMORIES!
Reminded of a time when
He fell for a girl back then…
Suddenly excited
Over lust unrequited,
Until buried again.
–Jonathan Caswell
CLOSE QUARTERS
This long-term staying at home
Husband-wife relations groan…
Comment brings strife
Reconciled with the wife,
Each have their own painful moan.
–
Conflict resolution takes place
When living close–face-to-face–
Thank God for prayer
Allowing fresh air
And necessary private space!
–Jonathan Caswell
COUNTING DOWN
Counting down to the moment
Of ultimate ecstasy foment…
We stay awake
For children’s’ sake,
Bearing with credit card torment.
–
Meaning slips year by year,
The older ways are more clear…
Yearly reminders
No commercial blinders,
Repetitious–but our conscience clears.
–
Come now to Bethlehem,
Marvel at the Babe again…
For joy running deep
While the Child’s sleep
Calms us to thank God for Him.
–Jonathan Caswell
