My Heart’s ❤️Symphony

Lub-dub, lub-dub, lub-dub - the sound of my heart beating,

As I think of you, my love, oh so fleeting.

With every beat, I feel your presence near,

Your essence, your spirit, your love so dear.

Lub-dub, lub-dub, lub-dub - it's the rhythm of my soul,

As I long to be with you, to make us whole.

Your touch, your embrace, your tender kiss,

They're the things I crave, the things I miss.

Lub-dub, lub-dub, lub-dub - the sound of my heart's desire,

As I dream of you, my passion on fire.

The way you look, the way you move,

They're the things that make my heart groove.

Lub-dub, lub-dub, lub-dub - the sound of my love's refrain,

As I whisper your name, again and again.

In my heart, you'll always stay,

As I listen to its beat, day by day.

Lub-dub, lub-dub, lub-dub - the sound of my heart's symphony,

As I cherish the love you have for me.

Together we'll be, until the end of time,

Our hearts beating as one, in perfect rhyme.

Who will Call Him? I will

In cold despair

They'd laid Him in the tomb

The body of their Master fair

Third morning came

As they returned to pray

Light was shining everywhere

But Jesus' body was not there

And as they gazed at an empty grave

The earth around began to shake

And they were so afraid

But voices of angels filled the air

Their shouts proclaimed "He is not here"

And you could hear them say

Who will call Him King of kings

Who will call Him Lord of lords

Who will call Him Prince of Peace

Such a wonderful counselor, Mighty God

Who will call Him King

Their spirits soared

As fear was turned to joy

Standing there before their eyes

Jesus clothed in radiant white

And with a voice they'd heard before

He told me "Go and tell the world that I'm alive"

They ran as fast as feet could fly

"The Lord is risen" was their cry

And you could hear them say

We will call Him King of kings

We Will call Him Lord of lords

We will call Him Prince of Peace

Such a wonderful counselor, Mighty God

Just like He said

He is risen from the dead

And the people say

We will call Him King of kings

We will call Him Lord of lords

We will call Him Prince of Peace

and

I will call Him King of kings

I will call Him Lord of lords We I will call Him Prince of Peace

I, the Beloved

That particular night remains crystal clear In My memory. on The evening of The Last Supper, Jesus convened with His followers for a concluding feast prior to His apprehension. Along with My fellow apostles, I was present and attentively listening as Jesus discussed His forthcoming demise.

Following dinner, we proceeded to The Garden of Gethsemane for a session of prayer. It was at That moment That The soldiers appeared with The intention of detaining Jesus. I observed Judas, who was part of our group, as He used a kiss to betray him. The Jewish council, known as The Sanhedrin, took custody of Jesus to conduct His trial.

I kept My distance, observing Jesus being interrogated by The high priest from The concealment of The shadows. He was charged with blasphemy which caused Jesus to feel distressed and anguished as He attempted to justify himself. In due course, they resolved to transport him to Pontius Pilate who held office as The governor of Rome.

I observed Pilate from afar as He interrogated Jesus, attempting to ascertain if He had committed any offense. Pilate was unable to identify any wrongdoing In him, and He even suggested setting him free. The populace made an outcry to set Barabbas, a well-known lawbreaker, free.instead.

The words ringing In My ears were difficult to accept, as The crowd demanded The crucifixion of Jesus. In order to prevent a disturbance, Pilate instructed for Jesus to be scourged and subsequently conveyed for execution on The cross. My eyes witnessed The cruel spectacle of Jesus being disrobed and subjected to physical abuse, His skin lacerated by The lash.

Silently shedding tears, I walked behind him while He was compelled to bear His own cross.to The location designated for His execution. His seven final utterances were audible to me and they left a profound impact on My emotions.

O Father, pardon them as they are unaware of their actions.

"Today, I promise That you shall accompany me to a peaceful paradise."

"Dear woman, take a look at your offspring." Observe and recognize The woman who brought you into The world as your mother.

"Why am I abandoned by you, My Lord?"

"I am In need of hydration." (I AM THIRSTY) He was a man here. He took the form of a man to save us

The task has come to an end.

Dear father, I entrust My spirit In your care.

As The outcome, Jesus was affixed to The crucifix, and I observed In dreadful shock as He dangled there, His vitality gradually fading. However, I was aware That The conclusion had not been reached yet. Despite witnessing Jesus' death, I held onto The belief He had previously expressed about His resurrection.

As promised, He resurrected after a period of three days. Elation and amazement overflowed within me as I comprehended That My Lord and Redeemer had triumphed over mortality and bestowed upon us The boon of never-ending existence.

All is Well

Peter sat at the table with Jesus and the other disciples, feeling a sense of unease wash over him. He had always been a loyal follower of his teacher, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding as Jesus spoke of his impending death.

As they ate the Passover meal together, Peter listened intently to Jesus' words, trying to make sense of the cryptic messages he was conveying. He couldn't bear the thought of losing his beloved teacher, but he also couldn't shake the feeling that something terrible was about to happen.

After dinner, they went to the garden of Gethsemane to pray. Peter struggled to stay awake, his mind racing with worries and fears. He knew that Jesus had been betrayed by one of their own, and he couldn't shake the feeling that they were all in danger.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers appeared, led by none other than Judas Iscariot. Peter watched in horror as they arrested Jesus and dragged him away, leaving the disciples scattered and afraid.

For the next few days, Peter was consumed by guilt and despair. He had denied Jesus three times, even after swearing to be his loyal disciple until the end. He couldn't shake the feeling that he had failed his teacher and his faith.

But then, on the third day, everything changed. Mary Magdalene came to the disciples with news that Jesus had risen from the dead. Peter couldn't believe it at first, but as he ran to the tomb and saw the empty grave clothes, he felt a sense of hope ignite within him.

Over the next few weeks, Peter and the other disciples encountered the risen Christ multiple times, and Peter's faith was renewed. He knew that Jesus' death and resurrection had been the ultimate sacrifice, one that had redeemed him and all of humanity.

As he reflected on those tumultuous days, Peter felt a sense of gratitude for the love and forgiveness that Jesus had shown him. He had been given a second chance, and he was determined to use it to spread the message of Christ's love and salvation to the world.

Gourmet

If I were a food, I would be a gourmet three-course meal, with each course representing different facets of my personality and life experiences. I would start with a light, refreshing salad, followed by a rich and hearty main course, and end with a sweet and decadent dessert.

For my first course, I would serve a fresh and vibrant arugula salad with a homemade citrus vinaigrette. The peppery arugula represents my bold and confident personality, while the citrus dressing symbolizes the zesty and adventurous spirit that drives me forward. The salad would also be topped with crunchy walnuts, representing the strength and resilience that has helped me overcome obstacles in my life. I would serve this salad as a reminder to always stay true to myself and never be afraid to take risks.

For my main course, I would serve a slow-roasted prime rib with garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed asparagus. The tender and juicy prime rib represents my compassion and empathy for others, while the savory garlic mashed potatoes symbolize the comfort and warmth that I strive to provide for those around me. The asparagus adds a touch of sophistication and elegance, representing my love for art and culture. I would serve this main course as a reminder to always prioritize the well-being of others and to never forget the importance of self-care.

Finally, for dessert, I would serve a decadent chocolate lava cake with a side of fresh berries. The rich and indulgent chocolate cake represents my passion for life and my desire to live it to the fullest, while the berries symbolize the sweet and simple pleasures that bring joy to my everyday existence. I would serve this dessert as a reminder to always cherish the moments that make life worth living and to never forget to savor the sweetness in life.

As for why I chose this particular meal to represent myself, I believe that each course represents a different aspect of my personality and life experiences. The arugula salad represents my bold and adventurous side, the prime rib represents my compassionate and empathetic nature, and the chocolate lava cake represents my love for life and all its indulgences.

In conclusion, if I were a food, I would be a gourmet three-course meal that represents the many facets of my personality and life experiences. From the peppery arugula salad to the rich and indulgent chocolate lava cake, each course would offer a unique and delicious glimpse into who I am as a person. Whether you prefer a light and refreshing salad or a decadent chocolate dessert, I hope that my meal would leave you feeling satisfied, inspired, and eager to embrace all the delicious experiences life has to offer.

My Reasons

I started writing about six years ago when I was so aware of my feelings.

Not just romantically but as well as spiritually, emotionally and physically.

With no one to share these feelings I started to write my thoughts, some of them poetically. Someone noticed my writings, my notes and admired it. Then I stopped.

Then there was the time that I was so down and has no one to tell my thoughts so I started again to write every now and then.

Presently I only write when I feel like it.

And I have already learned how to manage my feelings.

Either Or

It is either the world is unfair or it simply likes to mess me up.

It is unfair that you already claim that she has your heart when you kept on confessing that your heart is in my hands.

That it is mine to keep even when I don’t like to have it.

Time passed and I learned to take care of the heart you have given me.

And learned to love it too.

I saw you again

I was giving my heart to you.

You just smiled a bitter smile.

I was so mad that I threw the heart you have given me to you.

You were shocked.

hurt

and I was smug at least you were hurt

The problem is...

I was so relaxed thinking that I still have it.

Your heart I mean.

It was too late when I realized that it was my heart I threw to you that day

It was my heart you failed to catch that day.

Then I realized.

The world is neither unfair

nor does like to mess me up

It is I who was unfair.

Her

I saw her today

The woman who caught your attention yey!

I saw her today, her eyes on mine.

I was smiling and have tp pretend I don't recognize her.

She recognized me.

It feels uneasy to sit in front of her.

I was being paranoid and hurt at the same time.

This doesn't make sense

But I saw her
