hanks for all the joy and laughter | ||
o sorry for all the pain and sorrow | ||
earing your voice lifted my spirits | ||
minous clouds rained on your parade | ||
ffections whispered filled my need | ||
creaming silence deafened us | ||
uzzled security from my shoulder | ||
ceans of tears you cried alone | ||
isses full of magical passion | ||
age against myself harming you | ||
our body locked in my embrace | ||
esistance to error correction | ||
ur souls drawing close together | ||
oung hearts violently broken | ||
nder it all was...love. | ||
o you remember me? Of course, | ||
verything gets trapped in your head. | ||
re the thoughts now docile and tame, | ||
efined from a seething sea? | ||
or you, is your path any clearer, | ||
nshrouded by the veil of Time? | ||
olls paid by strife, passage assured, | ||
nafraid of the twists and turns, | ||
elying on an inner peace I lack, | ||
ndless joys spread before you. | ||
hall I be found, burried deep in you, | ||
choes of a time before aged wisdom, | ||
ingering to remind, or is it you, | ||
ound in my hopes, tears and dreams? | ||
areful what you wish for, | ||
r you may some day receive it. | ||
nconditional love is dangerously powerful. | ||
ife gains colors, right before my eyes; | ||
eath gains new sting, separation. | ||
ut that could never be, not for me. | ||
vil tendancies preclude magnanimous grace. | ||
et grace continues to gain limitless strength, | ||
n heart's door it pounds, never to be invited in... | ||
nless, already I know thee? | ||
o one likes a quitter, | ||
nly losers quit. | ||
ature abhors a vacuum... | ||
vil assumes many forms. | ||
ear is the mind killer, | ||
ld habits die hard, | ||
eality bites. | ||
ears go by... | ||
ut of the blue, | ||
pside the head with a 2x4. | ||
y mind is flawed, aren't we all? | ||
rrors crop up in abundance... | ||
omething beautiful is unearthed, intricate, precious...fragile | ||
omehow it gets damaged, dropped, thrown, or simply squeezed to death. | ||
verything splendid entrances me, I chase it with abandon, but once I catch it... | ||
on't touch it, you'll break it...perfect is too intimidating... | ||
nderstanding this scares me, I'll never hold something perfect for long | ||
erhaps something tried & true, weather worn, battered by the elements...something better. | ||
stand in awe, gazing outward... | ||
ever have I seen anything so amazing, so beautiful... | ||
loating before me, suspended by a masterful design | ||
s the scope of a lifetime, myriads of strands. | ||
on compos mentis silently calls to me, so many choices, | ||
ntoning a frightening cacophony from the syllables of life. | ||
o chose from this tree of glittering lines boggles me, | ||
et there is hope, borne upon angel's wings, heralded by a child's ringing laughter on a cold Bethlehem morn. | ||
hile I stand here, befuddled, confused, chained by my temporal existance | ||
nother looks on...smiling...at me, and this sylvan network of a future. | ||
n a word I've never heard, much a kin to the sound of a lover's heart, | ||
here it comes, pulled from its brethren, carried on a breath from God... | ||
plendorous beyond my wildest dreams, the plan I can never behold. | ||
sigh cannot contain this feeling | ||
ament seems too short a description | ||
ld is this pain | ||
ever diminishing in severity | ||
ver fresh in my heart | ||
ndulgence in self-pity helps none | ||
egligence of emotions is ineffective | ||
gony raises its silent howl | ||
ursing fate gains me nothing | ||
aging against the machine gets me crushed | ||
ptions are broadly few | ||
inning does not appear to be one of them | ||
elightment flits about me on gossamer wings of whim | ||
onder has lifted my eyes, but | ||
dolatry followed quickly thereafter | ||
ike turned to more, more than fondness | ||
ust raced in on its heels | ||
dle fancies become daydreams, then desires | ||
nightly virtues struggle to retain control | ||
either can suffer the other | ||
vert carnality wrestles virtuous purity | ||
ildfire corruption burns white to charred black | ||
oathing grows within me | ||
cher flames lick at my soul | ||
irtual sample of what I deserve | ||
vasion of grace freely given | ||
nternal battle rages hotter than ever | ||
eelings of disgust, filth, for even thinking | ||
ntrusive images cover my eyelids | ||
entacles of perversion cling to my mind | ||
aution swings in as a defense | ||
ceans of thoughts swarm in my head | ||
erciful forgetfulness isn't found in a wall stud | ||
xercise energizes my body, gives my mind free reign | ||
leep is fitfull and hard-found | ||
reedom from my thoughts cannot be found | ||
riginally pure ideals, written in stone, are wearing | ||
eading them before was hard enough, but blurred? | ||
iraculous love would be all I'd see, what else could love | ||
bon-hearted me, with a mind to match? | ||
eavy burdens press down on me | ||
riginally they were only memories | ||
icked deeds and thoughts | ||
ravings I chose to endulge | ||
nger I allowed to lash out | ||
othing can excuse my actions | ||
et, you still speak to me | ||
ffering sympathy, understanding, forgiveness | ||
nlike anyone else, it truely seems you love me | ||
onliness frightens me | ||
ne person seems so small, so weak | ||
ariance in the world keeps me confused | ||
veryone searches for my hiden motives | ||
oving is so dangerous in a changing world, yet | ||
very time I fall, you're there to lift me up | ||
ongings tug at my heart and mind | ||
ntertwined in mortal combat, thoughts battle for my attention | ||
indness seems always accompanied with a catch | ||
fforts on my part to do what's right fail, repeatedly | ||
houghts comandeer my will, and again I fall | ||
oly fingers, clean and pure, daub the blood from my brow | ||
nterfearing thoughts are squashed as I find the look in your eyes | ||
hining at me, far brighter than all the stars, Infinity, and the love it holds for me | ||
ellow stars swirl in their cellestial courses | ||
ranges hang from their life-supplying branches | ||
ltra-violet rays trigger melanin production | ||
aws traced by Newton continue to hold true | ||
rbits of sun, moon, and earth stick tightly to your plan | ||
iolets bloom in the season you chose for them | ||
ggs are laid, grow, and hatch, just as you've prepared | ||
olecules are attracted, repelled, and bond according to your design | ||
bbing tides follow your schedule, world wide | ||
uman beings rule the earth, blessed to be in your image | ||
rdinary people are exaulted before men, by thy choice and power | ||
omen are blessed with the love that grows in them along with their child | ||
en take heart when they hear of the Paradise on the other side of death | ||
nwholesome thoughts tremble and flee from your presence | ||
ounting all these to your glory, more glorious still remains | ||
eaven you left, humbled as a man, you died to reclaim my soul | ||
ove's greatest expression was stretched on a tree, under God's curse | ||
nly the death of a perfect man could buy the rights to my soul | ||
everence was what you deserved, but man caused you grief instead | ||
ying infinate deaths, you showed your infinate love...for all of us | ||
rained ears... Delighting in the whisper of the Lord. Straining to hear a child's cry. Willing to hear both problems and solutions. | ||
heart that breaks... Painfully aware of Christ's love. Easily moved to care. Not afraid to get "too involved." | ||
esiliant spine... Rigid to stand when the lines are drawn. Flexable enough to brush off being wronged. Polished to a pure white, ground with truth. | ||
entle hands of love... Soft enough to cradle a bruised heart. Large enough to enclose a scared child's hand. Small enough to tremble with anticipation. | ||
yes to see... Not as the world sees, Nor as I see myself, But as God sees. | ||
ongue to speak... Truthfully admitting reality, To warn as I slide, To encourage when I fall. | ||
