Friday

Deep truth echoes off the walls,

like it echoes in my heart. 

How it rises and falls 

Gently breaks me apart. 

Moonlight soothes the grieving earth 

while He slips silently on. 

Those who seek, are given worth 

On the break of that dawn. 

And suddenly my soul rises up in me

Seeking its home, it belongs to you alone. 

With you I am free,

Your love so deep, it melts this heart of stone. 

My savior came down, laid in the cold hard ground,

and I was left unbound. 

Running Still

In the calm

and

In the storm

I will rest within the shelter of your embrace. 

Though it rains,

Though it pours,

Still I will run

until I have finished the race,

and remained in my faith. 

Darkness deep preys on me,

Circling round and round inside my chest,

Without rest.

But I pray in your name, and 

You are I AM. 

So what is there left to fear?

Nothing here. 

The worst pain can only last a lifetime. 

I walk among wolves without hesitation,

For they know a Lion resides within my soul.

Heartache

They think their heartache is true...

If they only knew. 

How deeply my heart aches for you. 

They're upset because their high school love has gone away. 

When I can't even touch you where you lay. 

They were dragging their feet

 My world was shattering

It was Monday morning. 

"Take an alternate route" they said, 

As if your broken body was merely an inconvenience. 

They simply said, 

one dead. 

And you were not even a name. 

Love Hopeful

Familiar is your voice as you call my name, 

Gentle is the hand that glides across my skin.

Warm and bottomless are the eyes that know my soul.

This one, this time it's different. 

I crave goodnight cuddling, 

and good morning kisses. 

I crave midnight stargazing, and midday picnics. 

I crave dances in the rain,

and long nights spent laughing. 

Patient is my heart as I wait on you, 

And strange are the feelings you've sparked in me.  

Wide is the smile that dances across my mouth as my soul warms to your touch. 

I smiled because I knew, that

You craved me too. 

They conform

They lost me.

At the urges to become fake,

The moment they desired conformity from me. 

They lost me.

Once they asked me to analyze the world to death, 

When they chose not to understand me. 

They cannot recover me now. 

I am long gone, 

Running free in my own daydreams. 

I am lost in wild hopes,

Too far gone to find my way back to their cynical world.  

 

Whispering Wind

The wind is playing his broken melody tonight, 

Discordant notes clamor for calm with all their might. 

Melancholy tunes search for soothing in their fright. 

My lover is childlike

Love me foolishly. 

Throw caution to the wind,

As we fall hopelessly into each other. 

Love me faithfully.

Stay by my side,

As I make all my mistakes. 

Love me truly. 

Learn all the ways my heart starts and stops.
