There's Something on the Inside of Me

Deep
Down
Beneath
this surface of transparency
Inarticulate/
Unable to conjure
words/
the feeling’s ineffable
This thing that keeps lingering/
constructing a stronghold on me
There’s something on the inside of me
So immense that
Even they on the outside
Can see
Clearly

Deep
Down
On the inside of me
It keeps me
Holding on/
Choosing right rather than wrong/
Admitting my wrongs
This thing that lives inside of me
It’s unseen
Yet
Quite keen
Discerning

In Essence
It’s
The Spirit of God
Anointing me
Even in spite of me
Living
are the
waters flowing
Out of me
Once shut up
now
can’t contain
this fire generating deep within
my belly;

Igniting me
with
supernatural power that it gives to me/
The Love imparted unto me/
Its light that shines translucently/
from the inside of me

This holy spirit inside
commands instruction from on high
transcending me beyond cloud nine
time after time after time
and
it’s all mine
the Spirit of God
dwelling
deep
down
on the inside of me
constantly
reminding me
strengthening me
blessing me
it keeps
me

Pouring directly unto me
is
the Holy Spirit within me
forever
living
Deep
Down
On the inside of me

Spiritual Magnetism

Staring...
intently into mine
his eyes pierce my inner soul
fragmenting the core of my being.
Vulnerable,
yet refusing to lose,
mine battle his.
Enchanted.
The emission invokes a supernatural occurrence
and
I denounce my position of authority
overwhelmed by the spiritual intensity
of
first sight.
I bear witness
to
God’s anointing power
permeating the spirit realm.
Baffled,
I persist; relinquished by the moment.
Once rushed time
now stands
unhurried.
Lives adjoin
worlds transplant
spirits interlace
as hearts
now ponder.
Questions emerge
and I remain.
Captivated.
Surrendering amid the mounting transparency
of our conspicuous exchange,
his eyes digress...
diffusing the once imprisoned connection.
Momentarily at best.
In desperation,
his eyes seek mine
only to find spiritual magnetism
imploring
once more...

The Virtues of a Woman

Proverbs 31:10-31 Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies...

The way to a man’s heart is not in the direction of the bedroom, any lady can fulfill the flesh, but the way down the aisle is through a woman’s God given virtues…

Beyond the plaster of a fabricated smile, will his Spirit see your heart…even from a mile?

Without make-up and hidden facades, are you a natural beauty bearing the image of God?

If you take away the marginal material would your worth still align?

Minus the curvaceous hips and acrylic finger tips, do you still have it going on or are you reliant upon voluptuous lips and over-priced whips?

Through the formed fitting of your attire can you still shape, mold, and be transformed into a sapphire; only for him to admire?

Without expensive trips, VIP treatments, and full length minks, will you still be the woman he thinks or instead frown up like your stuff doesn’t stink?

Without the glitz, glam, diamonds, and things, can you be his ROCK even without a mere thing?

Once the beauty fades will you still SHINE?

You may be the life of the party, but is there still life in you after the party?

Can you accept his past, always be present, and show him that you are the future?

If you can’t save your jewel until you say I do, how can you expect him to value your treasure the whole way through?

Out of the bedroom, are you capable of putting it down and rocking his World while holding him down? Or will he walk around saddened, his face the shape of a frown?

Can you assume the position as the head when all comes to a head or instead, will you claim that he isn’t the “man” you wed, and berate his manhood with things you shouldn't have said?

Can you build up a home on the foundation of God, or will you tear it down briskly by the fire of your tongue?

Without the house on the hill, luxury wheels, and six-figure income, will you still see him as a king and then some?

Will you make it right when he ventures left or will you deem it right to shake him to the left?

If he cries will you wipe his tears or do you view him less than a man when his inner child cries out to be nurtured; by a woman because only she can.

If he falls will you catch him or will you fail at his stumble?

When he falls on hard times do you possess enough strength to pick up the pieces time after time, or will you make it harder and simply nag and whine?

Can you still see God’s perfection amid his mounting imperfections? Do you perfect his imperfections or do you deny him entitled affection when all doesn’t go in YOUR direction?

Can you offer words of encouragement and melodies of praise if he shuns you because of the way he was raised?

Will you fast and pray during the trails or will you move fast to have him pay for the impending divorce trial?

Can you be his backbone or will you be a thorn in his side when you should be the rib by his side from which God ordained?

Are you a bonafide virtuous woman? Or do you hide in the shadows of us for whom God created one man…

Genesis2:18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
2:21-24 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman,
for she was taken out of man."
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
