REMEDY
Nexuscjt said:
Thank you very much or the comment, you seem to hit the nail on the head every time!! The image is of "The Explosion in the Alchemist’s Laboratory"
Justus Gustav van Bentum (Leiden 1670–1727)
Holland, 17th or 18th century
Oil on canvas
I found it fitting as the poem is about me searching for a remedy, a soloution. But we dont always get it correct the first time and the results can be explosive as well as hurt the ones that love us. Sometimes we look for guidance from the wrong places/ wrong people forgetting the best guidance & remedy is found through God.
Glad you liked it.

Fascinating...very. The image with it is likewise rather intriguing...what is it of...a moment in alchemy? The resolution to be true and love forever are very noble...made me wonder if 'twas written to the mother of your unborn son? I enjoyed it.....how you drew the picture of loving her, very nice, and sweet....fascinating in the resolve...I assumed it was something that just happened. But it's a good point you make about the longer you live the uglier it looks ('specially the better you know yourself!) and the more you need forgiveness...funny how we thought we didn't need it earlier. Isn't seeking and asking to do with God's salvation?

IT’S FUNNY

Thanks...I hear you.

Cheeky Missy said:
Oooh...hope that wasn't a dare for bold wee me...funny how it goes that way, though,...you're only too right, there's unfortunately frequently somebody ready to take you down a peg when you're starting to ride high finally. Your response is so perfectly stated, I can so easily picture it. If we might only be walking in the truth, the Lord would be our strength and defense, regardless how many darts enemies throw to bring us down, you know?

JUST WORDS
Cheeky Missy said:
I love the title....sufficiently reminiscent of the Boyzone song "Words" which consequently is replaying in my head thanks to that....as if words are so light to be cast off....whereas...death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it will eat the fruit thereof...and, by thy words thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned...so that words are not so trite. But your point is that negative input (words) is not carved in stone to deter us and bury all our ambition, destroying all ability to succeed. It is fascinating and seems a common "mantra" that if we would just think positively and put away all negative influence, then we can achieve anything.....but there seems something not quite right with that. I dunno, the words you're specifically targeting are "I CAN'T do it" and "[just] get used to it"....which do seem to leave one incapable of moving, if heeded.....I agree there is a certain wisdom in refusing to just stagnate...so now I am agreeing with you....but that we can make ourselves great by our own endeavor, I can't quite agree....if the Lord will prosper us, and if we follow Him, obeying His Word we will in the end....then again, perhaps we can do great things in and of ourselves....but will the glory be lasting? La, but "just [a TON of] words", eh? And your image is so delightfully fitting....words carved in stone!....the ten commandments?

Growing Up
Cheeky Missy said:
Very interesting. Fascinating because it expresses your struggles as a man....being just what you are made...seems to me. Now, I'm a girl, so I can only ask....can't you draw the moral lines and then relax? I dunno. Then again, if you're that interested, why don't you just say your vows and then you're free?! And looking again at it, doesn't it take two? If you going to stand strong, maybe you will need to follow Joseph's example and just flee when it gets to be too much? How much are we girls to blame? Play with a loose girl and what follows? Just don't overpower a good girl...and I don't think you would. Now, what do the last three lines in bold mean? Hahaha...I liked your image starting it off....do you really lose a couple inches?

MAKE ME SMILE
Nexuscjt said:
Lol, thanks. You need to keep telling yourself these things until you truely believe it to avoid the traps set against you. Never give up!
The image is from the hip-hop artist Ludacris, his first album.
The dog with the bling'd teeth makes me smile anytime I see it as well as Ludacris with his OTT afro.

Cheeky Missy said:
Ya, so you don't drown? Or break when your world crashes?....Like why fuss about what you can't fix....la, it is the same theme from your "never give up" pieces! Ha, just another angle and shorter. But I don't quite see how the image fits.....is it like, really amusing? is it a movie?

DIMENSIONS
Cheeky Missy said:
Fascinating....your image fits nicely,....especially since it has that superhero/won't be thwarted "look." I disagree that all before us is within our ready line of vision, since the Bible speaks of the unseen as eternal in comparison to the present transient scene. But your poem and image do pair so very well. Cool. Excellently done!

RECKLESS LOVING
Nexuscjt said:
LOL. I know, but the current world doesn't make it any easier. It makes you feel like you have to do crtain things or feel a certain way. Its everywhere you look...people (pressure),schools, books, magazines, tv, film, music, internet etc. But I can say I'm a lot stronger now than when the poem was written. I think its about finding the right balance for you and maintaining a sense of control.

RECKLESS LOVING
Cheeky Missy said:
If you know anything about the Bible, you know that abstinence and the pure marriage bed is only acceptable and better than otherwise. The picture is very suggestive, making your point, and making me squirm.

FAST LOVING
Cheeky Missy said:
Never been there, so I tread with trepidation in commenting.......it is passionate in it's very name:"fast loving". And then when the last line is the question of whether it is the way it really should be, don't your morals answer in the negative?

Failure is only in the mind, be strong and keep pressing on, success often comes through danger. I like the sentiments in your poem, never give up for God is with you.

PUT YOUR MIND TO IT
Cheeky Missy said:
Ya, these poems where we reason with ourselves.....
And then again, what "strong" minded soul doesn't have a weak area?. If a saint, then they say, I can do all things through Christ Which strengtheneth me, don't they? Because the Lord says My grace is sufficient for thee....it is not our strength, then.

Never give up
Cheeky Missy said:
On the other hand, "failure is NOT an option"...could we think of it positively in the sense of the poem's theme...that you never give up, but keep at it until the end?! Where will you find the strength to ALWAYS stand up? If like the Bible says of God's servants, that He makes them to stand, then you ever will, by Him alone, seems to me.

Never give up
Dolphine29 said:
Hi,
I like your poem in many ways; but please do not take so literal the phrase: "Failure is not an option", living like that makes you too afraid to live, too threatened to have a mistake. If you want your child to feel free of that fear, please let that child make mistakes as well.
This is just an opinion, because I wish my parents had given me that opportunity instead of making me feel so anxious and guilty with my own mistakes.

TRUST
Dolphine29 said:
I indentify myself so much with your poem, trust it's so controversial and really hard to gain. You are really honest in the way you see things and I do feel that is a balance that we search in order to exist in this world; not such an honest one at the moment.
Merry Christmas!
