Devine Romance: smooth as molasses, sweet as honey, taste like chocolate

 DEVINE ROMANCE PIECE

the Bridegroom (Christ) and His Bride (the church)

Smooth as molasses, sweet as honey, taste like chocolate

By telle wild rose 2025

Theme song: Tyshan Knight - In Love

I know a special secret

Every bit is worth the wait

Let's keep some mystery for now,

The reward worth the journey.

Ive heard soft devine whispers in my ear,

Guiding my every steps, never wavering,

Felt the touch of Spirit on my soul,

Igniting an unquenchable fire deep within.

I know of a love, well deep,

And it pours into me till i overflow,

Inviting others to partake in His love,

Not to be hoarded but shared.

For His love is smoother than molasses,

Taste sweeter than honey,

The savor of rich dark chocolate,

The sweet aroma drawing me in to His orbit.

Ive left the earth and transcended to heaven above,

In the glorious presence of the King of Kings,

His devotion is just as clear as mine,

That made the Bridegroom cry out as thus:

“ Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.

How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!

Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.”

And me, the bride finally says:

I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine.

symbolism explained;

1. The “chain” or “necklace” metaphor here is especially rich:

Captivation / Bondage of Love – The chain represents a binding that is not oppressive, but delightfully binding. In the context of Christ and His bride (the Church or the soul), it symbolizes the irresistible love of Christ drawing the believer into union with Him. It’s a voluntary surrender, a heart captivated by divine love.

Adornment and Value – Chains and necklaces in ancient times were symbols of beauty, honor, and worth. Christ’s “chain” can be seen as the beautiful adornment of His covenantal love: His love doesn’t enslave; it glorifies and dignifies the bride.

Intimacy and Security – Chains can also signify connection, an unbroken link. The chain of Christ’s love binds the bride to Him in intimate, secure communion. It’s a spiritual tether that ensures the believer cannot be separated from Him.

The chain is a metaphor for Christ’s love that captivates, adorns, and securely binds His bride. It represents both the delight and the commitment of divine love—a love that is sweet, fragrant, binding, but never burdensome.

2. Love better than wine – Wine in Scripture often represents joy, celebration, and abundance. Christ’s love surpasses even the richest earthly pleasures. The bride’s love or devotion is intoxicating—not in a way that overwhelms, but in a way that brings delight, fulfillment, and spiritual ecstasy.

Fragrance of oils better than any spice – Oils and spices were prized for their aroma, healing qualities, and sacred use in worship. Here, it reflects the sacred, holy, and pleasing nature of the love between Christ and His bride. The “fragrance” suggests that true love produces a spiritual sweetness and a pleasing aroma to God—a love that is sanctifying and restorative.

Metaphorically – Line 10 expresses that the intimate, covenantal love between Christ and His bride surpasses all earthly pleasures. It’s both joyful and sacred; it’s a love that captivates the heart and nourishes the soul.

In a nutshell: it’s a line that celebrates the surpassing sweetness, richness, and sacred delight of divine love—the kind that no earthly pleasure can equal.

3. “Lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb” – Honey is a natural symbol of delight, abundance, and nourishment. This represents the sweetness and richness of love between Christ and His bride. In spiritual terms, it reflects the life-giving and satisfying nature of communion with Christ, the words of love, truth, and grace He pours into the believer’s life.

“Milk and honey under your tongue” – Milk often symbolizes nourishment and foundational growth (as in 1 Peter 2:2, “desire the pure milk of the word”). Honey represents pleasure and delight. Together, they show that the bride’s love (or the soul’s response to Christ) is both nourishing and joyous, sustaining spiritual life and growth.

“Fragrance of your garments like the fragrance of Lebanon” – Lebanon was famed for its cedars and aromatic trees. Fragrance in Scripture often symbolizes a life pleasing to God (e.g., offerings, incense). Here, it reflects that the bride’s life, adorned with love and devotion, is a fragrant offering to Christ—a visible and spiritual delight.

In short: Verse 11 portrays the intimate, nourishing, and delightful experience of divine love. Christ’s love (or the bride’s love in response) is sweet, sustaining, and aromatic—it invigorates the soul, nourishes the spirit, and delights both God and the believer.

All the flowers are dead

All the Flowers are dead by Telle Wild Rose (shauntell rohner)

A small bud tries to blossom into something new

But a man stomps down and crushes the dream

Lower than the dirt underneath his boot, She is you

She lets out a fearful scream

Why does it have to be this way?

The season is warming up welcoming dying hope before it even starts,

When will she finally be ok?

When she passed she left a trail of broken hearts

Water, earth, and light, are needed to flourish

Deprived of all, now theres rot underneath the root,

The sun has fallen, the stars weep, and she wishes there was more than this

Looking around the bed of soil, she realizes sadly something is afoot,

A facade to fool the masses, surely

looking with a careful eye, theres beauty on the outside, yellows, blues and red

But the temperate of the air is somber and winter has come far too early,

Because as she looks deeper she discovers, all the flowers are dead.

Reflection: what areas of your life are dead or rotten? what in your life needs to be revived?

scripture meditation: Ezekiel 37:1-14

King James Version

37 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.

4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.

5 Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.

12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

13 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,

14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.

Encouragement: the Lord will give you beauty for ashes, for He is the God of the living, not the dead. He came to give you life more abundantly whereas the thief came only to steal, kill and destroy. but we are more than conquerers in Him. - Telle Wild Rose

a long, dark Haiku and Jesus who met me there

Theme song: Falling inside the black by skillet 

A Really Rather Long Dark Haiku by telle wild rose from "i wrote the wound, it was the balm" 

Don't say you love me

 If you're here to appeal your case

 Do not, I've been gone

Death, dark and devils

 Same demons newer levels

 Despair consumes me

A blade, a cut, red

 Spread too thin deep down within

 Scared of my shadow

Lies from loving lips

 Knife in back from my own friend

 A sister falls down

In the valley

 That's where you'll find me hiding

 Waiting for daylight

Sun shines yet I hide

 My shame consumes me always

 The lonely is known

Familiar spirits

 Whispers in the ear, danger

 Scream to shout to tears

Sin is a monster

 Beast underneath the bedding

 Making play of life

Child naivety

 Symbols, and riddles spoken

 Never perceive it

Confusion surrounds

 Yet Everything is nothing

 Here's a song for you

We've reached an end now

 Draw your weapon enemy

 Look in the mirror
