Heart!
Look here darling, my hands are open wide
I can see the tenderness of your love, your soul
I feel the aroma of your presence near oh my soul
It touches like perfume in my glossy heart,
It looks like a string of ointment that moves in as it goes out as a unit
The strings are interwoven like the needlework of yarn
Within it is like a gentle wind blowing but not one to mourn
But one that adds to its fabric of moisture that savours you and i
Darkness is all around it, except for its reddish tone
And none can touch it even in the darkness shone
What is so weird and unbecoming
Is the darkness has a calming effect
For none can see us or touch us in this sac
This place they call heart
Like in a far away place in space
This is how I see us
Every time I gasp for air
When the storm rushes in
And you are not there
See me there panting
Asking for your glance
For in your midst
I am at heart again
I can see the tenderness of your love, your soul
I feel the aroma of your presence near oh my soul
It touches like perfume in my glossy heart,
It looks like a string of ointment that moves in as it goes out as a unit
The strings are interwoven like the needlework of yarn
Within it is like a gentle wind blowing but not one to mourn
But one that adds to its fabric of moisture that savours you and i
Darkness is all around it, except for its reddish tone
And none can touch it even in the darkness shone
What is so weird and unbecoming
Is the darkness has a calming effect
For none can see us or touch us in this sac
This place they call heart
Like in a far away place in space
This is how I see us
Every time I gasp for air
When the storm rushes in
And you are not there
See me there panting
Asking for your glance
For in your midst
I am at heart again

As The Morning Dew, a poem
I woke up one day and I saw your eyes
they were as lovely and fashionable as the morning skies
Ones that bask in the sun after the morning dew
Others that beat the drum of a sky as blue
I need you, I said, I need you near
... In a time so dark, in a time so few
Have known what it's like to see you there,
Looking down from the skies
On a pedal of grey
I asked thou oh fair Priya Devalia, my pedals need your rain
I need you come hither and gather again
Come give me a taste of the thirst that remains
And you came upon me as the morning dew.

Fav scripture: Romans 14 (this has helped me a lot in making life decisions)
2,3"One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man whose faith is weak eats only vegetables. The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does eat..."
In other words this verse says we are not to condemn those who do not have levels of faith thought of as appropriate Christianity, and yet we criticize people's actions of little/more faith.
14"I am fully convinced that no food is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean"
this is why I believe it is possible to be in an evil world and still be able to do some good and possibly do more good than what others can do in a situation; Back in Bible days it was unclean to eat "pork" but even today we say it is wrong to do certain acts of indulgence, mainly sexual acts, anger...etc. To what extent are these acts a cultural phenomenon like pork eating instead of God's command to disindulge?
20"Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes something else to stumble"
This is saying that any act (back in the day food eating - can you imagine that pork made someone stumble??? haha) can cause someone else to fall into sin, and we are to help those people by not indulging in something when we actually know it's not a bid deal.
23"but the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin"
This shows it's important to not eat, if you lack faith, because that is sin. This goes back to scriptures on not making oaths (b/c you don't have enough faith to carry them out), and the only way to please God is in faith.

Romans 11:32 I will explain what I think this means.
For God has bound all men over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them.
I look at this scripture and do not use it for my own gain. I do not say, I will go and sin then, but I know there is no condemnation on me if I sin b/c I know God redeem us when we sin. So it is not intentional to sin, but God saves those that call to him; and in fact that is a necessary condition, requirement of salvation, to depend on God, rely on God in a time of need! In conclusion, He doesn't want us to do it on our own, to think we can rely on ourselves, but rely on Him, which I think is appropriate to expect from his creation, ones he's moulding into His image.

Giving it up
Do you think these days, that people care about who they're hurting?
Do we stop to glance at another person's misfortune.
I am working with all these young children that have come from broken homes
and broken families, never knowing if they will stay or go...
How it breaks a hear to know their parents don't want them
Their friends desert them...
In more ways then one I know what that feels like
So I wonder if anyone feels the same
How much it pains the soul to know the ones they truly love
Desert them in the end?
Maybe I'm just more naturally inclined to love people more
this way
But I want you to know God always provides a way.
