This poem is not just about the day I proposed. It's about romantic love. The pursuit and affection of one lover has for the other lover's heart. Like a raspberry, it's about sweet affections we are to have for the other. The realization that we don't stop pursuing our lover once love is consummated. The pursuit continues. The ring symbolizes each moment will allow real love to run wild in us. We are to win each other's hearts again and again. To never cease to be a prince in pursuit of his princess. To pledge our love and devotion to one another. And the ongoing need we have to steal away and abide with each other in the tall grass among the falling leaves. 

The Raspberry Ring

This is the poem that speaks of the urgency to make the most of every moment. The days are few and the time is short. It is time to count the cost, pay the price and decide about the life we will live and the legacy we will leave. The Lord calls us now to follow Him. What say you?

This Is The Hour

This is a sonnet that speaks to the primacy of first receiving the gift of God's fierce and furious love. How on the cross, love was shown supremely and fully in Jesus. It speaks of how God's love transforms all lesser loves. Agape is received, given back and offered to others. This is Love, Divine.
