BETWEEN THE CUP AND THE LIP

Written for ELLA's prompt at poets united



O fair maiden
from the cup as I sip
could there be something
between the cup and the lip


O fair maiden
I see your eyes in the
teacup brimming
everytime your home I trip


The lips have
many a words to tell
Yet I fear the slip
between the cup and my lip

DIFFERENT FORMS

YOU SEE ME 

YOU SEE ME NOT 

THE ICE ABOVE

THE WATER BELOW

THEN YOUR SUNSHINE

I TAKE THE FORM 

HAPPY AND GURGLING

JUMPING FROLICKING

THEN YOU TORTURE

ME TO KNOW FURTHER

MY SUSTENANCE

AND I TAKE DIFFERENT FORMS

I RISE ABOVE 

IN SPIRIT FORM

TO REACH ABOVE 

MY HEAVEN

AND THEN POURING DOWN

AGAIN WHEN

I AM NEEDED 

AGAIN ANOTHER TIME

The RESOLUTION

I shall not go
to war today
for though I lost the battle
peace will reign someday

I shall not cry
today
for though my  heart is in pain
I'll learn something thatway

I shall not set out
to conquer the world today
for what is mine
can never go away

GRACE

I 've known my lords love
many a times
and I've forgotten my lords love
many a times
Now that I remember
once more
grant  grace to forget
no more

How unsure am i
of myself
its only grace that makes me oar
to thyself
Accept me and
my prayer
that I'll not forget
my lords prayer

Your grace alone 'll suffice
n 'll save me
or shall i perish
in hands of the enemy 
Let me  then not
go astray
let my soul then not
myself destroy

I place myself
in thy care
trusting your grace
in the air
My soul in thy love
would then dare
for i know thou
answers my prayer
