I stand to be corrected but I think those that have decided to stay away from sex did so because they think and realise that fornication and adultery are sins on their own in essence it was a form of purity....

It was not my intention to correct anyone. It is simply my opinion.

If our reason for saving sex until marriage is because we believe it will make sex better or easier for us, we’re not only setting ourselves up for disappointment, but we’re missing the point entirely.

Those of us who choose to wait do so because we hold certain beliefs about the sacredness of marriage and about God's intentions and wishes for humanity, and we honor these regardless of whether they feel easier or harder.

I love this statement. The second part especially.

As for the first part, I do believe the first time can be better and easier if we are prepared better by our parents.

Which leads me to the statement below.

In the meantime, we in the evangelical church have a lot of work to do correcting the distorted ways we talk about sex and sexuality, especially to our youth.

While this correct, we need to go further. Frankly, sex education is not the job of the church. It is the parents job.

We, as parents, need to be open and honest with our children. We can't be embarrassed or ashamed to speak of sex.

How we broach the subject with our children will tell them more than anything we say. There must be no judgement and there can be no question out of bounds (As long as it is age appropriate).

We are talking about evangelical Christians here, so we should speak from the stance that sex is sacred, and should only be shared between husband and wife.

If we are open with our children, they will have a better chance of a good experience that first time and every time after.

If I can take this one step further, when your child is ready to marry; mothers should take their daughters aside and fathers their sons: be very frank about what to expect. More importantly, what they can do to make the experience better for their companion.

This may be difficult for some parents and the child. One thing that may help is to always be openly affectionate in front of your children. I don't mean sex. I mean; hold hands, kiss, hug, tell your spouse you love them. Allow your children to see what a healthy, loving relationship looks like.

There is no way to prepare anyone completely for the awesome power of sex, but let's at least give our children the tools they need to enjoy what God has ordained.

Poems For Review › Re: Crude Lines by texanomaly(f): 7:57pm On Dec 27, 2014

In this tiny cubicle,
Was born the queer one.
They say they sang him a canticle,
As soon as he was born.

In this little village,
Grew the eccentric one.
Some say he set on his life's voyage,
Ere he had even begun.

In his own little world,
Lived the weird one.
All he sought did evade him.
All he fought did defeat him.
He would toil,
And he would moil.

He would try,
And he would cry,
But things would yet go awry.
He would scratch,
And he would search,

But yet for life he stood no match.
Still he couldn't stop.
No sooner had he left than he would return.

His was a frantic search for meaning,
A futile scouring for significance,
Another way of saying,
He knew not his own essence.

Just a suggestion If you wanted to break up the last stanza and a word replacement to keep from unnecessary repetition.

Take it or leave it. This is your creation.

A Tangle In Time
by Tex

A vine appeared from under my bed.
From whence it came
I do not know.
I sprung from under my cover,
As it began to grow.

Intertwining as it went,
From where was it sent?

It burst through the door,
Its leaves outstretched.
Down the stairs it crept,
Growing and growing
No end, across the floor.

Intertwining as it went,
From where was it sent?

Out across the yard, without ordeal,
As it wound around, and bound,
Or it seemed to me,
As it continued to reach and stretch.
On and on, the vine, no secrets to reveal.

Intertwining as it went,
From where was it sent?

It led everywhere and nowhere, it seemed.
I trailed along its path,
Not knowing what to expect,
As the web grew and grew.
When low and behold, it stopped

The scent of innocence
Wafting,
A feel of happiness
Interweaving,
Off again, the vine went creeping.

Intertwining as it went,
From where was it sent?

Across oceans of time I sailed,
Belief and befuddle,
Betrayal and buttress,
Much-to my senses revealed.
It’s serpentine course winding on.

Intertwining as it went,
From where was it sent?

Tears to cry at length,
Smiles and laughter,
My heart to render.
Tangled,
Weaving an Eternal Labyrinth

Intertwining as it went,
From where was it sent?

Veralaw:
No mess sis,
do the correction here

Again sorry for the mix up. You are really good. I love this poem.

You used repetition in your poem. I don't believe you used it to full advantage. Repetition can be used to emphasize the idea that your love is hopeless, but using hopeless, a hopeless lover is overkill.

Helpless and hopeless makes us see more clearly what you are feeling. Then repeating it over and over emphasizes the emotion.

Just my opinion.

Cc. laykorn

HOPELESS LOVER

I stare into the dark
Day and night.
Deep in thought,
Strapped,
And in a pensive mood.
I think of you.
Trapped!
A hopeless lover.

Our stolen kiss,
My first,
Lingers on my lips.
The taste of your bud
The taste of a miss.
I am helpless.
A hopeless lover.

The brush of our skin,
Still tingles my loins.
Couture of your elegance,
Coys my realms,
Catch my breath.
Pose with me.
I am helpless.
A hopeless lover.

I caress your design.
I behold your gait.
The watchman's whistle whirls.
Past midnight.
It was all a dream.
I remain helpless,
A hopeless lover.

At Peak of dawn,
I run to the pavement,
To watch your steps,
Hand in hand with your gent.
I watch, helpless.
A hopeless lover.

I know I can't have you.
Join my realm
And be my beloved
In my dreams.
Helpless.
A hopeless lover.

Helpless me, destined to be,
A hopeless lover.

very easy to read....Nice one
I am trying to get the "rhyme scheme"...is it applicable here?

@a babe is born- was that supposed to be baby?

People were using "babe" to describe babies long before it became a nick name for a significant other. It is even used in the Bible to refer to babies, including Christ.

babe
bāb/
noun

1.
literary
a baby.

2.
informal
an affectionate form of address, typically for someone with whom one has a sexual or romantic relationship.
"I'm the golden boy, babe"

You used repetition in your poem. I don't believe you used it to full advantage. Repetition can be used to emphasize the idea that your love is hopeless, but using hopeless, a hopeless lover is overkill.

Helpless and hopeless makes us see more clearly what you are feeling. Then repeating it over and over emphasizes the emotion.

It is untitled. You've missed another opertunity to emphasize the hopelessness you feel, or is the title the same as the thread title?
