Song Of Garry

"Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee. Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck. " -Sgs 4:7, 9

[songofgarry]

Bittersweet Moment

My eyes open to a soft hazel gaze. I drift in and out a waking dream. The sweet scent of a finishing touch. Awakened me to a kiss and blush.  A momentary moment so bittersweet,  I look upon you looking on me.  We paint the other's face colorful and gray, Imaginary canvass of our eyes and of our stay.  The moment ends; You depart from me. The front door closes; I start to see.  I ponder the image of the lock and key, Reflecting the permanence of eternity.  I later go through the door once locked. Stairs that were at one time down, are now upright. A sunrise part; A sunset union. My trouble's end; A face shining bright.

No Greater Love

Dearest Katie, What can I say? Another year to your life; Another year to my stay. I'll love you in every possible way. This I must do; This I must pray.

I am unworthy, in light of all that you are. The illuminating light in the night from afar. The beauty and presence you share with the stars. Your sweetness has cleaned that which was marred.

I sacrifice my life to love my wife. To be an example, and keep myself from strife. To break that stride is to hate my bride, And substitute beauty for my wicked pride.

The way of the Lord is wise advice. True love is expressed when I pay a price. To break that stride is to hate my bride, And substitute beauty for my wicked pride.

[songofgarry]

The Seed

The only prayer I wish to pray, That I'd love you more and more each day. Through fire, and trials of melancholy, Through the joy in life, and through the folly.

Like a seed, to myself I die. With a smile, not with a sigh. And like a seed, my love will grow. To the world, my love will show.

Even though life brings diversity, A friend is born for adversity

[songofgarry]

Sweet Water

Baptized in beauty; sent from above, Is the manner in which I view my love. Fairest of women-outside and in, For all my life, where have you been? Past glances became all but waste, The moment I first beheld your face. Fairest of women, I proclaim unto thee, You're beloved of God; You're beloved of me.

[songofgarry]

Engagement

Marriage is coming, O how it awaits!

The united path of two God-fearing fates.

As the morning sky draws nigh unto me,

I begin to behold the silhouette of a tree.

The sun engulfs my seeking eyes with light,

More and more detail comes to fill my sight.

The light of the sun is something to be compared,

With the lovely chaste bride that God has prepared.

It is never dark enough to see the stars at night,

When I’m with a girl that shines so bright.

Her heart toward the Lord is soft and contrite.

I will honor her as my exclusive lovely delight.

[songofgarry]

Grace To The Servant

  Dear Lord, I pray her frustration would cease.

Give her Your hand, Your strength and Your peace.

Give her the grace You always bestow,

For Your glorious namesake, let Your Spirit flow .

  Look at the children, behold, it is us!

So wretched and proud, and driven by lust.

Rebellious and revelling, each one in his sin,

What an accurate picture of the state I am in.

  Does God ever quit? Like, "Oh well, I tried?"

If that were the case, we would not be His bride.

We must be like the Lord, the example we glean.

Like the lord and his servant in Matthew 18.

  "If you can not pay-" the servant was told,

"Then everything that you possess will be sold."

Grace was given to the servant that day,

Yet we, like that servant, make our servants pay. 

[songofgarry]

Two Souls In A Knot

The times I'm with you, To the times I am not.

With you am I tied, Two souls in a knot.

When we're together, My heart is at ease.

There is pain in the stretch, It comes when I leave.

Tighter and tighter, My soul is pressed.

The pain in my heart; The pain in my chest.

I long for you; I long for rest.

I can not complain when I am so blessed.

Close to you is where I belong.

You are my love; You are my song.

The life I adore; The life I protect.

God's open door that I'll always respect.

[songofgarry]

Watching My Love On TV

I love it when I sit down with you, To watch a show, like we always do. However, something else I begin to see, The reflection of the girl sitting next to me. I can't help but love what I behold, The girl that God loves to shape and mold. That woman in the light has captured my sight. The attraction so strong that it's hard to fight. It's fun watching you through the computer screen. Sometimes I make a face to see if I can be seen. Four eyes, one screen, and two different shows. In one my interest is peaked, the other my love flows. All I can say is you're the one I love. Holy unto God, and sent from above. Descended onto my life just like a dove. Such an example to follow in the likeness thereof.

[songofgarry]

A Beautiful Voice

I love when you sing and play guitar,

Its effect on me is quite bizarre.

Your voice so soft as to pierce my soul,

Being made to rest is out of my control.

  My eyes made weak as I'm lulled to sleep,

This sound travels through my very being so deep.

I never want these moments with you to end,

All the time with you; All the time I spend.

  My heart is left behind every night we part,

But every day is always another fresh start.

I need you, love, you're always on my mind,

I'm like the wheels on a car needing to be aligned.

  Sometimes I try to go straight, but drift to the right.

You help me walk upright, and shine bright.

Sometimes I try to go straight, but drift to the right.

You're my helping hand, and God's shining light

[songofgarry]

Contending With The World

I can never wear out the times I say,

"I love you more and more each day."

You're the girl for which I pray.

By your side, forever I stay.

  You're the one that I desire.

We have a love that will never expire.

A love so right that it will never tire.

Nothing in life can put out the fire.

  But that isn't what the world will do.

Falling from the people that they once knew.

A bond they slew with their "adieu,"

They abandon ship, and fail to make it through.

  Rebelling against the social trend,

To sprout a bit, only to fail in the end.

To contend with the world is to extend,

My love to you, my best friend.

[songofgarry]

I Love Because I Know God

I love it when you giggle, It's the cutest thing.

Or when that beautiful voice comes when you sing.

Your godliness shows there's only one thing to bring.

I'm convinced that I need to give you a wedding ring.

  I just can't get this single thought out of my head,

The day you and I can at last be wed.

Through tears I'll shed and conversations I'll dred,

I'll love you and treat you right until I am dead.

  I know I must wait for the Pastor's cue,

But give me this moment to say, "I do."

Because there's no other girl I want to choose, but you.

I'll love you to the end, this I know is true.

  "How do I know this?" you may say.

It's God's work in me that made me different today.

He's the potter I'm the clay, it's Him I obey.

I know Christ will never let our marriage decay.

[songofgarry]

The Likeness Of A Ring

I caress your fingers as I rub your hand,

Imagined on one is the wedding band.

It fits right next to the engagement ring,

Around your fingers do they nicely cling.

  The way it clings is actually just like my heart.

From you it is simply unable to part.

The way it goes round and round with no end,

Just like into infinity will our love extend.

  I can't wait for that day and I see your face,

You blush as your heart starts to pick up the pace.

Perhaps a tear or perhaps a bawl,

Either way on one knee I will fall.

  When you're healthy or sick with the flu.

When hard times come and there is no break-through,

There is absolutely nothing you could say or do,

To keep me from whispering "I love you."

[songofgarry]

A Helping Hand

I love it when you say you're blessed by me,

That changes my mood, wherever it may be.

Like the time I drew your angry birds plan,

For you I love to give a helping hand.

  I see it in your eyes when I help you out.

It's like a seed of joy that begins to sprout.

I'll do anything to see that sight again,

Allow me to help you every now and then.

  I can't wait to see you today,

Beautiful daughter of God,

His moldable clay.

  I see your bright light of His display,

You have a beauty,

I hope I can portray.

[songofgarry]

An Asthmatic Truth

It's crazy the way I feel,

When I'm unable to behold your face.

Like an inhaler, I must breathe you in,

So the attack can be erased.

  When I walk- I pant, I pant.

Where is my relief?

I try to get air- I can't, I cant.

I'm like a falling leaf.

  Pretty soon I'll hit the ground,

My color no longer will surround,

The wind pipes of my lungs are bound,

Until my relief is found.

  An asthmatic truth I do declare,

The relief you bring, I can't compare.

The way you love, the way you care,

You are deep breaths of fresh air.

[songofgarry]

Working Out

I figured I'd write this on a whim,

While you're preoccupied at the gym.

On the treadmill running all nice and fast,

While you listen to a podcast.

  This reminds me of the times we had to "work it out."

Exceeding expectations there was never any doubt.

Whenever we ever got into a fight,

We start laughing and having a great rest of the night.

  Come to think of it as I write this rhyme,

Trials brought us closer together each time.

As I look back I love you more today,

Than ever before, I love you more each day.

  Every time we kiss it's just like the first,

You're like a drink that never quenches my thirst.

Every time we kiss it's just like the last,

It's a moment we will never want to pass.

[songofgarry]

The Fluff

A magical creature that is only visible when you're feeling down. Cuteness is at maximum overload.
