Heaven's shore

Having been on Heaven's shore
Can't do nothing but adore
You, Your glory, of love core
Please do never close this door.

Forgive me cause I have sinned
Without You I cannot win
Over darkness we fall in
Don't want return where I've been.

In the ocean I want swim
Eternity spend with Him
Make me shining, am just dim
Make me of light, do the trim.

Teach my soul to do the right
Give me wisdom, give me sight
Make me stronger for the fight
Over darkness, over night.

Having been on Heaven's shore
Can't do nothing but adore
You, Your glory, of love core
Love You each time even more.
like it - perfect - excellent !! You have the gift!

I can use the last verse of each stanza segment for a refrain...

Fits Perfectly... once I get the music worked out, I'll sent you an MP3 download and see if you like rhythm...

Thank you for demanding more from me. :)

One more change. Slight correction for better English:

"In the ocean I want swim" -> "In the ocean want to swim"

Proposed corrections:

In the ocean I want to swim
Eternity to spend with him
Make me shining, I'm just dim (or I am)

I don't understand the sense of this:

What do you mean by ''of love core''?

OK...thanks. I think you mean this: God is the foundation of love...I understand the sense of what you mean...but it isn't an adequate way of expressing it in English. If God is A core of love, does that mean that there are other cores?

Yeah, that one seemed a little strange to me also. Otherwise, seems to have come along nicely.

Thanks. I will think how to change it.

Edit: what about: You, Your Highness, of love core

It's really more the "love core" that doesn't make grammatical sense. Though poetry doesn't always need to and one can work out you mean (I did, and I suppose BW and others did too). So just depends on what you're going for I suppose.

But i like having your opinions.

So, changing order of words is not allowed in english poetry?

Core of love -> of love core?

Yes, grammatically incorrect, but it is poetic tool to do that with words, right?
