Grr.

cement me here.
cast me off as an idea.
frustrate me.
forget while I fabricate.
fall to my knees
and don't believe.
you're too fake
to appreciate.

Where Are We?

There we are
There we may be-
Cushioned next to each other on the comfiest couch we know-
Arms laced, hands zipped together;
Our feet propped up on the coffee table ('cause it's just better that way.)
Content.
My head on your shoulder,
As you tell me your goals and aspirations-
Such big dreams for a mere mortal,
Yet I know God-willing you could change this world.
And so;
As quiet as the clock ticks, so;
We find out the rhythm that works together-
Works forward-
Yet stays here forever.

The Candle

Fervently the candle glows
Atop the bale of hay.
Dripping down,
Without a sound
Humbly day by day.
What lies beneath
Is sure to catch
A spark, a glimpse of light.
the dry will burn,
but we will learn
What's lush will last the night.

Speechless.

After everything--
After all the uncertainty,
the insecurity,
the hurt and the pain,
After turning away
day after day
I just want to say:

Thank You.

Thank you for being there
When no one else was.
Thank you for finding me
When I was stuck in a rut.
Thank you for healing me
When no one could see the wounds.
Thank you for forgiving me
When I thought I was ruined.
Thank you for saving me
When I know I don't deserve it.
Thank you for your sacrifice
Its your son who thought me worth it.

Praise to the Father-
All-Mighty and Holy,
Praise to the Son-
To Him be the Glory,
Praise to the Spirit-
With which we Overcome,
Praise be to God-
The Trinity in One.

One More Breath

Darkness falls.
Salty tears of despair.
An unanswered question...

Why?

Why am I so cold?
Why am I alone?
Why isn't Mommy here
To dry these tears i cry?
Why isn't everything alright?

Why?

The naivete of them all.
These children, now orphans
All alone,
Drowning in their tears of bitter unknowing,

Reality haunts thir minds,
Concealing a dagger of truth
Oh, so stealthily.

Oh unmerciful Mother Nature!
Why?
Why couldn't you spare these naive eyes?
A child, knowing death
No longer thinks through a child's mind.

Children! Oh children!
Believe that the sun will rise over death!
Wait for the light.....

Take another breath.

Titled

I wish.
I want.
I can't have.
I don't know.

Enticed.
Entranced.
Eager.
Empty.

Tick Tock Time
Teaches us to Tie
Tattered ends Tightly.

Embrace me.
Entertain me.
Let me be
Your Epiphany.

I am
a memory
a fleeting thought
a regret
a chance
a fleeting thought
a plan
am I

An Incomplete Thought

There's a million dead end roads out there,
And a billion broken hearts.
But just by chance
A passing glance
Could find perfection that's off the charts.
