Touching God



If I Don't Have You
What is fresh breath I inhale
Or the blood coursing through my veins
Renewing life within these bones

If I don't have You
What is birth
Or blossoming youth
The dawn and sunset of my life
But a trifle on the earthly kaleidoscope

If I don't have You
Rise to Fame
Nor riches to accentuate my strength
Are but moth eaten garments

If I don't have You
Though in the eyes of the world
I may have everything
Yet I have nothing
I am nothing

When I have You
I lack nothing
You are the fullness of my life
I have everything

your poems are very personal,it not only tells of your relationship with God but it also reveals a lot about yourself, is that intentional or accidental?

Thanks for your insight.No it is completely unintentional.But then again, does not all written word reveal a bit of the author?

Ofcourse especially poetry, it is rather difficult to separate yourself totally, I suppose that is why artistic expressions are also said to be creations
