At The Junction Of Light
At the junction of light
I met my beloved
There we held hands
And embraced
His eyes sparkled of light
And His skin was gold
I held His right hand
And gazed at the golden skin
In awe and wonder
He smelt of honey
Love, joy, peace
And fruitfulness
I picked a purple fruit
From His chest
And ate
Voraciously
He watched as I ate
Smiling tenderly
With eyes full
Of love and mercy
My belly was filled
With joy from the holy fruit
As I burst and spoke in
The heavenly language
I could feel the river
Flowing from my innermost being
And heard myself call Him
Sweet, holy and tender names
My heart was filled with love
For my golden prince.
Then He laughed in delight as He said,
“Today,
You have tasted my joy
Joy will be your companion
And best friend
You will never again know sorrow
Like you knew it
In the past
Rejoice in me
My beloved
Because
My name is joy.”
Then a golden cloud covered Him
And He disappeared.
May grace, peace
Mercy, love and joy
Be ours in full measure.

The Heavenly Ballroom
I can remember
That night in London so well.
I had spent several hours
Thanking the Lord
For His precious blood
That set me free.
This thanksgiving was
In obedience to the revelations
He had given me
Several times
About the importance of gratitude
And thanksgiving and celebrating Him
For His great salvation
And redemption
Given to us
Through His precious blood.
As I made melody in my heart
To Him,
And thanked Him
With love and worship,
I fell into a trance.
I was suddenly
In a glorious and spacious ballroom
In heaven.
There were many of us
All dressed in extraordinarily beautiful
White garments,
Studded with indescribable
Gemstones.
My gown was so breathtaking
In beauty that I still marvel
At the delightful recall.
We sat and waited
For that one special one
In eager anticipation
Of dancing with Him.
Suddenly,
He appeared in that glorious
Ballroom,
Breathtaking and powerful
In appearance and beauty.
Then I woke up
From my trance,
Wishing
That the trance had lasted
A bit longer.
He appeared because
I obeyed Him,
And rejoiced in His salvation
With thanksgiving and love.
As a result,
The word of God
Penetrated deep into me
With His glorious presence
And cleaned my garments
Washing me
White as snow
Leading to intimacy and fellowship.
The word of God
Is glorious and powerful.
It is the word of God – the good news of salvation
That saves our souls,
As we accept it,
And cling to it
In thanksgiving, praise and worship.
May we constantly glorify
The word of God – the good news
Of our redemption and salvation
Amen.
Hallelujah Jesus
Conquered death, sin, hell and the grave.
He has given us victory
Praise God!

Heaven’s Gate
A gentle pat on my left leg
And I wake up
To behold a mighty Angel
In my room.
He smiled,
And I smiled back.
Immediately I smiled back
I found myself at
Heavens gate
As I walk though the city,
I loose every memory of pain,
Heartbreak and disappointment.
The Lord Himself walks
Towards me,
In a golden garment,
Studded with gemstones,
Shining brighter than the sun.
Resplendent, radiant and overwhelming
In power and beauty,
He kisses my right cheek,
And says,
‘I love you.’
And I think to myself,
‘How wonderful the Lord is,
That He expresses love very easily
Without shyness or childishness.
His comfort in love
And words of love
Made Him more attractive
And alluring
As I gaze at Him – My big Daddy,
With beautiful brown, tear filled eyes.
Then I remember my own husband
Who can never say
‘I love you’
But would show me in a million
Ways how much he loves me.
I always wanted to hear
Those precious healing words
But my husband denied me that pleasure
Relief and comfort
Of the mind.
Then I recall that the Holy Spirit
Said to me in the past,
‘A blessed woman is a woman
Who hears I love you everyday.’
He also taught me the importance
Of expressing love
As He constantly says to me,
‘Express your love for me.’
Here I am,
Hand in hand
With my King
Walking on golden streets
Surrounded by His glory
Hearing the one word
I was always denied.
Tears drop down my eyes
As the Lord opens up His
Healing arms
And I rush in
Overwhelmed by a million
Positive emotions and love, joy, peace, consolation and comfort.
I hugged Him never to let go
Muttering ceaselessly into His chest
Intoxicated by His fragrance,
Which smelt like nothing on earth.
‘I love you Lord, I love you Lord,
More than everyone,
And anything
On earth, I will show you my love
By constant obedience and service.
Your will is my will, your pleasure is my pleasure.’
I kept saying this, like a glorious litany rushing
Like golden cascades of love
Out of my quivering lips.
This pleased the Lord greatly.
He holds my face in His hands
Wipes away my tears
Gazing deeply into my adoring tender eyes,
‘I love you my child,
You are a princess,
Don’t ever forget that.’
Then I find myself
Back in my room
Wishing He never let go.

That One Dance
We were many
Dressed in royal garments
Studded with gemstones
Waiting for the bridegroom
We were all longing
To dance with Him
As we all searched
The great ballroom
In Heaven
For the great Master
Then He appeared
And we all fell at His feet
In adoration and worship
My face was facedown
And my mouth kissed the floor
And it seemed like my nose
Was stuck to the floor
Then I saw the golden sandals
Beside me
And realized He was
Standing beside me
I looked up
And He stretched out
His right hand to me
Smiling gently
With love
His blue eyes sparkled
And twinkled
And rays of light
Emanated from them
Enveloping me
I gave Him
My right hand and
He pulled me up
Into His arms
His gaze fixed firmly
On my face
I looked downwards
With great shyness
Because I felt swallowed up
By His mesmerising deep gaze
I hid my face on
His shoulder
And we danced
As we danced
He bent towards my face
And whispered into my ear,
“Those who wait upon me
And seek my face
Will dance with me
Eat with me
And experience my glory.
They will touch me
Taste me
Feel me
Eat me
And see my face,
As I come upon them.
To dance with me means
Intimate fellowship
And baptism of
My Holy Spirit and fire
It means drinking and tasting
My Spirit
And basking in my glory and fire
Tell my children that
I want to dance with them.”

Gold In My Belly – Chapter 2
MEMORIES OF RACHEAL
I can remember that day so well
Very long ago
It was summer
And I had fallen asleep
On my garden sofa
In my back garden
The blaring sound
of siren woke me up
And I though to myself,
“Police! Police!”
As I jumped up from my sleep
Startled and dazed
Wondering if something bad
Was happening on my street
Then the sound
Gently receded and retreated
Slowly fading away
And there was sudden calm
The soft evening breeze
Caressed my cheek
And I felt more alive
Than ever
I stretched myself on the sofa
And immediately I put my head on the sofa
I fell into a trance
I looked and all I could see
Was a great sea
Within a hundred yards
From where I was
I saw a crowd of lovely ladies
The crowd was huge, so huge
Over a million
All waking on the sea
And emerging from the sea
With roses, tiara’s and crowns
“We must crown you.” They all echoed
Bowing as they said it.
“No I said, get away from me.”
The female leader of the group
Tall and perfect in beauty
Stepped into my garden and a regal looking man
Of authority accompanied her – he was obviously a prince.
“You are making a great mistake,
We won’t leave you alone
Until you yield.
We want you
Because you are a great asset
Your blood is gold and pure
And a delight to us
Come to us.”
She turned to the prince standing beside her.
“This is Del,
The prince of Nada Kingdom.” The prince was very
Striking and extremely handsome. The robe he had on dazzled with
Gems and unearthly beauty.
I starred at the prince in dismay
Wondering why they were disturbing my evening rest
I shook my head as I carefully examined him.
“Handsome but not my type.”
I muttered under my breath
“What?”
The prince asked, obviously insulted and not pleased
“Oh you heard me? Well, I was talking to myself.”
“You dare to defy me me?”
My laugh was shrill and out of this world.
“Why not? I shrugged as I got up from the sofa, stepped forward
And looked straight into his eyes, not scared or afraid
of his power. I looked into His eyes with scorn.
Shafts of fire were beginning to proceed out of His eyes.
“What a mess, I am not gonna waste my time with you,
“Disappear or fire will swallow you.”
The prince moved closer to me and a golden cloud appeared and encircled me.
Prince Del was breathtaking in beauty
He was powerful
However I despised him
He was nothing compared
The Prince of princes that was around me.
At the sight of the golden cloud,
Prince Del instantly transformed into a beast, screened in terror
and evaporated into the air as thick smelly green mist filled the air.
I opened my eyes and realized I was very hungry. I went into my house and the doorbell
was ringing. There was smoke everywhere and the fire alarm shrilled into my perplexed bones.
The Tumble
Climbing up an annoying hill
On my way
From the grocery store
At plumstead, Greenwich
With heavy loads on both hands
I became angry
Because my husband had lost his job
And the fury rolled in
Bit by bit
Piling up into a heap
On my weary, discouraged mind
My frozen, clammy hands were aching
And I was so tired
And sleepy from exhaustion
A tear slipped down to my yellow scarf
Wrapped around my neck
To protect me from the freezing cold
“Mummy what’s wrong,”
My head swung towards my
Four year old daughter
Lily
“Nothing princess,
Mummy is just tired.”
As I said the word tired
I lost my balance on
The slippery slope
And found myself rolling down the hill
And I heard a piecing cry
“Mummy!”
The heart wrenching cry broke my heart
And it caused me more pain
Than the physical pain
Tearing and searing at me
From various angles
Like a wicked destructive storm
That ravages without mercy
I tried to get up
But I was in pain
As a nurse,
I knew I had injured my ankle
And knee
A while later
As the ambulance drove
Me away
And I watched my princess crying
And sobbing
I realized that
I had been ungrateful
I had so many things to
Be grateful about
But I had ignored them
So many blessings
But I had chosen to be ungrateful
And I counted my loss
And Peter’s loss
My husband Peter is amazing and loving
My job very refreshing
And rewarding
My daughter, a delight
And an Angel
My health was perfect
But I had forgotten
And counted my loss
“Gratitude is a choice Lucy,”
I said to myself
‘Never forget that.”
I was in pain
But somehow
I found the courage
To sing praises to the Lord
And a great peace like never before
Flooded my soul
Even in the midst of trial
And pain.

All I Know
When you left me for Cynthia
I said to my self
“I am finished!”
I cried
And I was sad
Then I said to myself,
‘Don’t be silly
Divorce is not the end of the world
You have a lot to thank God for.’
I wanted to forget Ashley
But I could not
Because
Memories are hard to abolish
And the memories
Just kept bubbling up
Into my consciousness
I knew I had to keep busy
And develop another passion
Then I picked up my Laptop
And began to write
I hit the keyboard really hard
And typed like I was expecting an award
Or a much cherished price
As I typed I would sometimes
Remember Ashley,
Wipe away the tears and continue
I never gave up
I was a recluse
For one year
Because I was determined
To be the best
That I could be
I made sure that I put in my best
After one year
The book was published
And it was a bestseller
Subsequently
The book was turned
Into a movie
Ashley saw me on TV
And called me
He wanted me back
And promised never to betray my love
Ever again
However I said no,
“No, Ashley
I don’t want you back
I love writing
I have a new passion.”
And hopefully one day
A new man
I don’t really care
All I know is that I am happy
And I am determined to be happy
And no one can take away my joy
One thing I know is this
I make decisions
Over my own life
And I am the only one
Who can give permission to others
To mess up my life
And I say no to betrayal and sadness
Taken
You were taken
By a vow
And a spirit
That I could not understand
Despite knowing
That we could never
Be together
I loved you
Like my own soul
I inhaled your spirit
Until obsession took over
When I realized the
Danger of obsession
I cut off
And went far away
To another land
Where I would
Never see you
However the scar
Had cut deeply
Into me
And all my dreams
Were about
Me by your graveside
Mourning the loss
Of your presence
The cords of obsession
Fought hard
To resist the resistance
I put up
As I realized that
I did not have the strength
To pull through
Because the more I fought
The more I fell apart
And became physically
Breathless
Because my heart
Refused to obey
My head and logic
I cried out to heaven
And I was saved
By the mercy of God
With one lesson
Etched deeply
On my mind
“Obsession is bad
For the soul,
Reject obsession
At its early stages
Before it sprouts
Horns and tails
And turns into
A destructive
Monster to the soul.”
My Own Happiness
As I climbed the Hill
At Rock-berry drive
I remembered Harry
My ex husband
So happy
So loved up
With His new family
I hissed
As I heard a loud scream
And I realized that
I had fallen
Because I did not see
The white stone
By the pathway
A tear slipped out if my tired eyes
As I struggled
To rise up
From the muddy path
I picked up
A gold colored
Dry leaf
And I made a silent vow
To myself
Never to remember
Happy Harry
And focus on myself
My life, my path and my way
In order to carve out
My own happiness
