Dont want to count the X's on the calender from which this begain 
try not to remember the last time 
it was a good time 
now I lay here substaining to obstain 
I'm a man 
a man that has needs 
a masculinity who needs to release 
a shyness in the darkness 
til the first shine of the moon 
rises a ragging beast 
I prayed on my last day of bonded flesh 
that was the day I told my Lord, "Yes" 
I ready to surrender and not be part of this mortal mess 
waiting for God to create the best 
from my rib will come creation 
while I lay here to rest 
start from day one like the begining 
see if the new her and new I, will pass the test 
the second time around 
I'm saving myself from someone elses desease 
preserving my life for that one to get me at souful release 
dying inside not to cross my faith 
shaking like an addict cause i'm lurred by the devils bait 
not going to give up on you Lord 
not going to give up on you my future in the making 
not going to give up on you the eternal seeds of creation 
I will be worth my wait 
I know my wait to the blessings of my faith 
my faith is towards my God while he sculps and creates 
creates the likeness of my dreams, 
the body and soul of my mate 
Its almost coming 
I sense her knocking on my door 
coming down my chimney 
appearing from my lamp 
it was worth saving and obstaining 
worth to feel my rib come to life that day 
I was saving myself 
for you, 
it was worth saving 
saving all of me for all of you 
until we finally be one that day! 
Saving myself!

I guess there are really men out there who feel this way also and not out there tryin to "hit" everything in sight...This wait will be so worth every second of doubt and sexual tensions...We get so caught up in the person for "right now" that we miss our blessings...
ReplyDeleteThis is EXACTLY where I am at in my life...Just a "buddy" isnt enough for me...I want to wait for my REAL...however long it takes...My faith tells me that He WILL bless me, when I am ready for him..
yes i imagine she will come twist in a time already known by the one that brings her...and good job saving yourself for her...makes it easier not to get confused in comparisons and creates a special moment the two of you can always cherish...
