"Adoration"

Oh how I adore You

So missing Your Divine touch

Re-Bliss my inner shadows

Take back what is Yours Alone

Consume me in Thine Love

Complete my incompleteness

For I am incomplete without You

You are my Rock of Strength

My heart fully leans upon

Needing Your Divine Love

Desperate for Your Holy Touch

Caress my Spirit with Thine Grace

Draw me into You

Draw me unto You

Consume me in Thine Love

Wash away the debris

of life's violence again

giving me renewed hope 

and strength to face the day

let not time slip anymore away

Say you love me and pull me

nearer cleansing all away, 

consuming my soul's need and desire

for thee; thus tis time forever stay. 

Never abandon never no more, 

for I live to love thee, 

my true love forevermore.

God Can See Our Hearts

God can see our heart.
He knows every intent of even every intention. He knows even the things we try to hide from others around us and the world. He sees it all. He knows it all. God knows me! God lives in me! And I belong unto The Lord Most High Almighty God. My heart is already like a transparent street of gold before Him. He knows every detail and secret part. He knows every secret I have. He knows every secret I've kept and every one I may have not kept. The Lord Most High and Mighty knows me and He has chosen to love me anyway. He knows every trial I've faced. And He knows every tear that has fallen from mine eyes.... He knows me!
Every part of light... He sees! Every part of dark... He sees! Nothing is hidden from Him! He Knows Everything! God lives in me and I am His own! I have chosen Him and He has chosen me!
I love Him for Who He is and what He stands for... His righteousness and ways; His laws, ordinances and precepts.
The Most High And Mighty is Amazing. He is Awesome! He Is!
I Love You Lord!

Lifting Up Unto Thee

Oil Painting

Lifting Up Unto Thee

The storm comes
Yet I cease to be still
I slowly climb
UP, UP, UP
To You my Love
I gasp for breath
From the distress
And struggle to gain
Yet affliction is nothing
To a moment with You
Lifting my heart to view
To catch a glimpse of You
Quickly to and fro
I mesmerize the rows
Of tranquil stated time
Of glistening light
The taste of sweet wine
I yearn so deeply within
To feel and know again
A passionate kiss of Love
An heavenly rose for You
Capturing a state of growth
I feel a secluded note
Suddenly taken away
My remembrance of the day
How fair You are to me
Like a flutter in the rain
A dash of purity in salt
Shake upon my soul
Lifting me up to You
The struggle melts away
Passion flowing my way
Once again.... I'm in Love
With my Love, My Dove
My Beloved King
He purges me in kindness
That He has shown to me
Speak my Sweet Savour
My Divine Flame of Fire
Fill me with Thine Favour
Flavour me with Thine salt
Come quickly lest forever
Becomes only thy thought

Carrying Love

Though I bare much
I shall not be ashamed
Oh how I wait for Thee
My Beloved One
Gather me in great mercies
Everlasting kindness be upon me
My love is not wroth
He will never depart from me
My stones are fair and pleasant
Sapphires surround me
I am established in Thee
My soul yearns deeply
I travail so quickly
Pains have taken me
Let me not be shamed
I am smitten by Thee
Oh Great Love
Why hast Thou forsaken me
Turn not away
Please notice me
I have brought forth
Time is become my enemy
If I could conquer time
Surely I'd be next to Thee
Let Light come forth
Rise upon me
Be seen upon me
Take away my reproach
Thine beauty for my ashes
No more heaviness
Thou shalt cover me
With Thy feathers
For You are my Reward
My eternal crown of glory

Consume Me Love!

Capture my soul
I delight in You
You are worthy
My great Reward
You rapture my heart
Touch me deeply
Your devoted love
I seek continually
Come to me
Passionate savors
Lightens my nights
I am where you are
Breathe upon me
Encompass me about
I am Yours

I wanted to run...

I wanted to run, but where
I wanted to cry, but to whom
I've felt so lost
Abandoned and abused
My flesh cries out
My soul feels confused
I waited for you, but you never showed
Alone I was left
While you did your own
An outcast I am
Broken by you
Used in distorted pleasures
Consciously desiring you
And yet my heart cries
Where are you
A devoted sacrifice
Years of pain
Consecrated and set apart
Yet all in vain
All that is left
Is the scars that remain

Love Dances

All Writing and Art by ©Tonya Ashe

Enduring Determination

Though darkness encompasses me about
I shall sing
I shall endure
Though the light sometimes fades
And persecution surrounds me
I will press through
I will fight
I will hold onto the promises
Within these momentary afflictions
I look up to the One
Insulation besieging my soul
A surveillance of majesty
Replacing my emptiness
Pacifying the doubts
Amplifying my wholeness
My interceding begins
Impulses of love
Improvising my within
Gravitation toward you
Releasing the sin

All Writing and Art by ©Tonya Ashe

I Am Love

I am love
I live and I breathe
And yes... I am free
I am very strong
So powerful
So mighty
A fragrance of beauty
A rare pearl
A diamond hidden in rough
I am love
Tender yet so bold
Release you into total freedom
For there is no fear in love
And I will only set you free
You will fly upon my wings
Into an eternal bliss
Of heavenly high clouds
You will float then soar
On the wings of the dove
My Morning Dove
For the Great I Am
Lives in me
I am Love

All Writing and Art by ©Tonya Ashe

Love Is My Banner

My banner is love
My heart does sing...
My heart speaks
My heart doest fly
Love flys here
On clouds of the morning skies
A sunset of disguise
Pouring out my heart
I reach out unto You
I touch moments of bliss
I savor Your heart
How can words describe
How I felt when with You
I am that lingering rain
That washes sin away
I passed by You
And I noticed Your heart
Stayed awhile to view
Consumed by the beauty seen
Reconnected for eternity

Growing Into Love

Amplifying Passion
Into recognition of the disguise
Of Love
Bursting Out
Into the premonition of fear
Guarding the heart
Spreading Forth
Around the stimulation
Of directional substance
Proportional Knowing
Expanding the thought
Til intensified dreams
Cultivating Prediction
There all along
Hidden in the depths
Enduringly Hoping
Coming out of hiding
Exposing my heart
