LOVE

Make me a home with your language

a haven, a place free of anguish

Your far away actions engage me

Your chivalrous heart has upstaged me


And I'm not afraid

and I can't remember

the illogical plan

or the crazy endeavor


I only know the place I'm at now

Watching and waiting

Wrestling with "how"


Ignoring all judgment

I know who I am

you catch my gaze and turn it to Him


And praying for covenant

Hoping again

and dare to acknowledge the human I am


The woman I am when no one else sees

Your honesty claims me

compels me to please


To honor the passion

uphold the ambition

to honor and cherish

and learn sweet submission


Pour myself out

You pour yourself in

And hold me and love me

and draw me to Him


And making me pray

and insisting you'll stay

and steadily sweeping my doubts far away


A voice unexpected

Tender and sweet

Laughter that soothes me

and fills me with peace


Fight through the struggle

the populace sway

Keep me and love me

To have me this way.


In the weary way you see me

in the tender grasp I hold

In the way you say you need me

with affection clear and bold


I am strong and heeding

You embrace my stance

My heart's erratic beating

my hopeless, trust less rants


From the inside out you shake me

The girl I am you make me

And every ounce of womanhood

Doesn't steel me like it should


 and here I am ,your dreamer

you make me a believer

in all the things I say can't be

You promise me,  I'll watch and see….

Get up, my dear friend,
    fair and beautiful lover—come to me!
Look around you: Winter is over;
    the winter rains are over, gone!
Spring flowers are in blossom all over.
    The whole world’s a choir—and singing!
Spring warblers are filling the forest
    with sweet arpeggios.
Lilacs are exuberantly purple and perfumed,
    and cherry trees fragrant with blossoms.
Oh, get up, dear friend,
    my fair and beautiful lover—come to me!
Come, my shy and modest dove—
    leave your seclusion, come out in the open.
Let me see your face,
    let me hear your voice.
For your voice is soothing
    and your face is ravishing.-  Song of Songs 2

A Look Inside The Nutcase

So if you haven't guessed, this blog is about the Commune.  There are too many people that think I'm joking, too many people that think I'm confused, A number that think I'm retarded and several that think I belong in the looney bin.  It's time all of you made an INFORMED decision!  Honestly, this "commune" has been in my heart for a very long time.  It was not a necessity then, but now it is.  I haven't wanted to blog.  There is too much that cannot be said and one knows that you can always count on me to say it once I open my big mouth.  So I cannot write about me, not now anyways.  There is too much inside of me that is not pleasant for the viewing but it will not always be so.  I have always trusted the Great Physician and there is no heart surgery too complicated for Him.  I will come out whole.  In the meantime, I must let you see what's inside this noggin'.  I may seem irrational, but I am not. I may seem illogical but...

WorkMANship

I love men. I REALLY love men! Now anyone who knows me must wonder HOW I can feel this way at this time in my life. I will tell you why. Any woman will tell you that women can be awful to each other! Wickedly, horribly, vengefully, tongue waggingly, scaldingly AWFUL! I would rather be beat to a bloody pulp than endure the scorn, disapproval and mockery of most of the women I know. Fortunately, there are few that I know (or should I say STILL know) that have given it to me.  Now there are many men that know and will agree that women CAN be awful.   Women are great at manipulation and control if they want to be and there are VERY few things that a (any) woman CANNOT make a man do if she is really intent on making him do them.  She can also make a man VERY sorry in a way no other man can make him.  Yes, women can be awful. I have never felt the obligation to defend womankind.  I have never felt the need to make up for another woman's awfulness, or a group of wo...

CommUNITY

My girlfriend gave me this Christmas ornament.  This is a bad picture, but it says "The Commune" in the middle and RELAX on the upper left hand side.  Obviously, she takes me seriously....or so I thought. Then I started talking about the possibility of cohabitating in a dome shaped area.  She wasn't so sure she could handle that....something about ADD, and it not being very attractive. When I pointed out that it would be fireproof and tornado proof and required less "land clearing" than a standard structure good old Joel chimed in with the option of building a square shaped building out of fire proof material. From there on the conversation deteriorated amongst us until there was a conversation about living in mud/straw huts??????? I LOVE YOU GUYS! SERIOUSLY! You're wonderful and I don't count it against you, but NOW I again do NOT think you're taking ME seriously.   You really think we can live in rural Illinois in mud/straw huts?? Do you REAL...
