In a world of filth and lure
Full of woman with little attire
Whispering, "I'll satisfy your desire."
How is a man to be pure?
I lie awake in the dark of night
Empty and alone in my bed.
Evil desires dance in my head
Enticing me with promised delight.
Idle time bores my creative mind.
The adversary smiles with pleasure
And offers stimulating treasure
Arousing my senses making me deaf and blind.
Enslaved by my own nature,
Who is able to save me?
How can I be set free?
Oh, how I need a savior!
Let your light be my allure.
Clothe me with white attire.
Fulfill my deepest longing, my greatest desire.
Make my heart clean and pure.
Meet me in the blackness of night
When I am lonely lying on my bed.
Captivate the thoughts in my head.
Remind me of your promised delight.
Take the gift of my creative mind.
And use it for your glory and pleasure,
Knowing my fruit will produce lasting treasure
Use me to speak to the deaf and give sight to the blind.
Fill my soul with your divine nature!
My Lord and my God, save me!
Only by your grace can I be set free!
Oh, how I need a savior!

Another sad one penned by you hun
I do so wish you could find some happiness
Trusting in God: and doing the work you do..I think you do have a savior....You are always there when people need you and you mean a lot to people even if you don't realize it
You have definitely meant a lot to me in my time of need
I wish for you love and happiness not being so sad and lonely
Love n hugs

I would say this is perfect poetry for this subject. It is as good as any written out there. I sure hope you seek to publish it.
From a whole different vantage point I just wanted to say that isn't it interesting that there are thousands of people out there as long as they are single and uncomitted who do not see these things as something to fight but to be embraced- and then once they have engaged their desires they move on to another maturity level. I am not saying this is right, I am simply curious how people can see things so differently- which makes it so hard to discern what is right and what is wrong.
The other day I had a dream where this guy was attempting to show children his 'pet' as he called it- he told the children they could 'pet it'. To him he really viewed it as harmless, whereas in my dream, I took grave offense to it, and did everything I could to protect the children. The thing though that struck me, is the children would have been totally confused had this been their best friends handsome funny father doing this! So yeah, the world is an extremely confusing place.
And to make sense of it just isn't always easy- though some do not seem to be confused in the least, nor do they seem to need a savior to sort it out. (again- no judgement value, just stating an observation). -
inspirational.
hey Some Women have this very same problem. We just don't like to admit it. I love your poem. I often find myself begging for forgiveness, sinful thoughts and lust...
Great job.
