A love sonnet to Jesus, the most worthy King:
You are the desire of the nations. -Haggai 2:7
You are everything I want.
You are the summation of my hearts deepest desires.
Your gaze feeds my soul more than a feast.
I follow you, thirsting for a drink from the living well.
I picture you as a king, bronze in skin, with a crown of many crowns on your head of finest gold. Your eyes, warmer than cinnamon, your compassion is hotter than the sun. Your robe glistens like freshly falling snow and reflects light like silver. A royal sash is draped across your robe.
You walk through a crowd and I walk across from you, my eyes transfixed on your illuminous smile. I stare at you behind tall lite lampstands with flickering amber flames.
I gaze through the lattice catching glimpses of you. -Song of Songs 2:9
I am enthralled.
My heart is captivated.
The crowds follow you…for you are transcendent beauty, pure love, holy light, liberating truth.
Your heartbeat is the beat of eternity.
Your voice echoes like rolling thunder, the base of your tenor is deeper than the oceans.
I orbit you unconsciously as the planets are pulled by the innate power and gravity of the sun.
I can’t help myself.
Nothing and no one is like you.
Absolutely perfect in love, abundant in grace, great in faithfulness, plentiful in mercy, pouring with healing, lavish in mercy, sweet in soul…you are kind beyond comprehension.
Your loving-kindness is better than life. -Psalm 63:3
I could never find another like you Lord.
I could sing forever.
I could dance without end.
The breath that comes from your lips is more life-giving than the air in my lungs…
Oh my Lord.
Oh my Dear.
Oh my Savior.
Oh my God .
I am lovesick for you and yet satisfied by your holy love.
I am pressing the grapes of my heart’s affection and creating the fragrant wine of worship …a drink offering to my Savior…
And we drink together in holy communion at the table inside of me where He dwells.

For centuries, the female heart has burned with desire for the lasting pleasure of unchanging love. In the course of time, civilizations have risen and fallen, yet the longing for tangible intimacy has never faded. Millions of lyrics have been written to the passionate tune of this fluid yearning.
Unfortunately, few people find the lasting love they’ve longed for, even as children. Life, education, and societal pressures transform what was once a tangible hope into a mythical fairy tale. Industries have reaped unlimited monetary gain from the erosion of this hope. Billions of girls grow up to become women who have long since tossed their dreams of true love in the trash bin of cynicism. Countless others have buried their ache of unmet desire under the disappointment of failed relationships and hopelessness.
Despite most women’s best attempts, this starved craving remains alive, like a stimulating aroma. This ethereal hope goes back to the first relationship, in a place of being so “seen” and “lovingly known” that “she” was naked and unashamed.
This novella was not written to add salt to the gaping wound of unsatisfied need. It was written to satisfy the need completely. Let Romantic Rendezvous for the Soul introduce you to a lasting relationship with Transcendent Love, where reality becomes sweeter than your dreams.
