After Midnight
Floating images pass through my mind
Images of you and I intertwined
Wishing I was there with you
I know exactly what we would do
Hold on tight
I will be home my love after midnight

Changing Seasons
Waiting around the house
Watching through a dirty window
Seeing the trees barren swaying in the breeze
Mud and brown grass covers the ground
Birds flying grabbing twigs to make their nests
Snow melted away, temperatures slowly begin to rise
Sun filters through the clouds
Feeling in my mind that spring and summer will soon be here
Sun rays warming my face as I look outside
Thinking in my mind of all that will come with the new season
What am I contemplating…
All the things I need to fix, clean and do and excited about it all
Climbing on the roof to clear out the gutters and remove the sticks
Raking up the leftover fall leaves
Cleaning up the bushes and getting the mower ready for the grass
Am I crazy to look forward to all this stuff
Probably, but hey I am that way
Of course I can do without the mosquitos and all the other bugs
So here is to spring and here is to summer
May they be full of fun and times of adventure

Extreme – More Than Words #RomanticTuesday
Empathetic Heart
Thoughts of past days run through your mind
Some full of fun and others not so kind
Thinking back on those times bring despair
Makes you wonder why do I care
What makes you this way you ponder so deep
Causing your heart to tear and weep
The person you are is so full of so much love
You find ways to show compassion like our God above
When people are hurting, you feel that too
An empathetic heart reaching out to those sad and blue
So, caring for those who despair
You are a person so full of tenderness, kindness and grace
The reason you feel is because of how much you care
I am so amazed at the beauty inside
A heart and soul so amplified
By the tenderheartedness found in you
*Dedicated to my wife who has the biggest heart full of love that I know. She cares so deeply for people and I am always amazed by you.*
SULLY AWARD COMPETITION NOW OPEN!
Will YOU be the lucky winner?
Last week on this blog I asked you a question: “Should I start a writing contest?”
I followed up my question with a promise: “If there is enough enthusiasm for a writing contest, I will start a writing contest.”
So. Was there enough enthusiasm for a writing contest?
Sort of!
And that’s good enough for me.
Welcome to the First Annual
Sully Award for Excellence in Writerishness!

The (one and only) winner will receive a bunch of valuable prizes!

My Armor
Rocky times I have seen in my life
Trials and tribulations I have faced
Times when I am about to fail
The enemy puts doubts into my mind
Pushing me deeper into despair
How do I fight such a force?
What do I use to defend myself
Grabbing my shield
Wearing my breastplate
Buckling up my belt
Putting on my boots
Placing on my helmet
Taking a hold of my sword
I am prepared for battle
These are my armaments given to me by God
Strong in the Lord and Mighty in his Power
Taking my stand against the Devil I will fight
I pray to my Lord and Savior
Give me strength and courage to wage this war
Victorious I will be in His Love.
Ephesians 6:10-18
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
You
For me there can be no other
You are the only one I desire
You are the only one I need
You excite me like no other
Shivers run down my spine at your touch
Passion is what I feel in your kiss
Heat is what I see in your eyes
I look forward to each moment I am near you
The feel of your body as I caress your silky smooth skin
Pulling you tighter to me as we mesh into one
Thoughts of you lift my cravings for you higher
Diving deeper into you is what I long for
With you I feel the ecstasy of love
You are the one, the only one for me.
Time Apart
Time apart from you
Left for work saying adieu
Mind wanders around
Can make me feel down
The beep of my phone
Means a message from back home
Where you wait for me
The place I would rather be
Biding my time until I see you again
The waiting can drive me insane
Walking through the door
Arriving to your kisses and so much more
Until that time comes
I will sit here all glum
Until that time all my love I send to you.
Across the Room
Looking at you from across the room
The beauty of my flower in bloom
Time has passed since we first met
A look from you leaves me in a cold sweat
Unable to divert my eyes
A ravenous hunger arises
Moving to you I pull you close
Into my arms I propose
A time of wantonness desire
Rising in us a fire
Passion unabated we explore
Until we are spent with no more
Curled together we hold each other tight
Off we fall into a blissful night
