melody


Quietly strumming with his eyes shut
long lashes grazing his rosy cheeks
fingers swiftly moving
emotions gracefully composing
a single instrument symphony
enthralled i watch him
soul connection
cliché yet truth
our eyes meet
i shiver involuntarily
a brief interlude
he opens his mouth to sing
beauty
his face contorts in strong,
uncontrollable emotions
portrayed through the songs he sings
his tanned lips spread into a smile
private jokes between him and himself
long graceful fingers slowly stop
his song ends and i walk away


Reverie

Here i am in my quiet little reverie
Watching people, pleased that they don't notice me
Observing the beautiful nature of God's wandering world
Longing to fly then realizing i'm absurd

Did jesus himself feel like I
Absorbing God's love and wanting to fly
Did his heart rise and explode in expectation
knowing his call won't reach a conclusion

Feeling the joy of seeing others come to Him





lost

eyes of fear and despair
is there any hope in there
jumping and screaming
he knows he's dying
head in his hands
elbows on his knees
his heart is squeezed
with the deception of the enemy
frustration and anger
wishing he was stronger
walking in the midnight cold
his life has been sold
'tis a way of death
thinks he can't overstep
crying out in desperation
he needs God's love


Crystal Blue

its 3 am now i'm wide awake
i saw your face in my minds eye
forever there you will stay
forever there you are mine
crystal blue lovely ocean
shimmering blue shiny sea
eyes filled with emotion
crystal blue looking through me
smooth sweetness and sincerity
nothing fake about you
your smile is weakening me
eyes capturing a deep aqua hue
i retreat into myself
i'm not going to be hurt again





runaway

I wanna run away
move to la and stay
i wanna go to the beach
peacefully stare at the sky
watch the beautiful ocean
leave everything behind
to sink into the sand
but still see thru
to see the stars
to see you
i would walk for hours
and talk to myself
let everyone think i'm crazy
let the people become hazy
see only the concrete
and my dirty feet
moving mechanically
i wanna sit on a park bench
watch the populace go by
the drugged out junkie surfers
or the punks, angry and defiled
how many people did you do today
i don't know i lost count after five
interesting conversations
intellectual and maniacal
piercings on every surface
wondering wheres the surplus
of reactions of the universe
to the status of the injustice
towards those they've lost
while they walked in silence
take a rest from my ponderings
close my ears to the eavesdropping
i, myself, and me
jump outta this full forced mutiny
crazily taking my emotions with me
carefully following one creed
in order to rest i have to pay a fee
dying to myself
living unto thee
and my wanderings cease
back from the sand
i merge into new
so white it almost looks blue
cooling my face
burning my soul
the degree of the fire
equaling the cold
the world stands still
i look around me
drinking my fill
an end to my journey
through it all
you have been with meI stand in wonder


I stand in wonder


I stand in wonder
I stand in awe
At the way your beauty
At the way your purity
reflects in my soul
What is it with her?
I hear people ask
I know they wonder
How can I hold such peace
When it seems my life
Is falling apart at the seams
Its because of you
Its because of El Shaddai
It is because of Yeshua
Jah, I Am, Lover of Souls
My Savior and Healer
Gate Keeper and Holder
Of the key to my heart
A slight smile teases my lips
As I think of your love
As I think of the amazingly
Undeniable way you work
To make everything perfect
I hold hands with you
As I walk by myself
"you are beautiful"
I hear you whisper
"you are graceful"
you say as you hold me
"there is no other like you"
I respond in awe
"There is no other as precious
to me as you my Lord"
snuggling closer to your chest
perfect peace
perfect rest
here in your arms
I am at peace
Like a child with her mother
Is my soul in your arms
Like a healer
As a lover
Everything I will ever need
You are to me
I am completely in love with you
Enthralled with your presence
Your heart with mine
God, your child is asking
For you to never take this away
Don't ever stop loving me
Don't ever leave me
I laugh at these words
I say them for my own sake
I know you will be faithful
I know you will always be
When I call
You are there
When I cry
You are my comfort
Through lost loves
Through hearts broken
You have been there
Healer
Rapha
Father
Lover
You complete me
I will always love you


The beach, wonderful sky

A mischevious grin
The playful light
Spreading to his eyes
A slight whisper
Caught in the wind
"run with me"
toes in the sand
the shifting grains
slowing movement
laughter bubbles forth
as I stumble to my knees
his arms around me
he jumps on me
laughter in his eyes
light emerald green eyes
lost in a moment I stay there
lying on the ground
staring at the sky
our bodies still
motionless
our eyes heavenward
glorious sky
wonderful stars
I run my fingers through the cold sand
Moist with the late night dew
Weighing it in my hand
I ready it for the launch
He jumps up in delight
"oh no you didn't!!"
again the laughter
as the chase begins
I run
With the wind whipping my face
My hair in my eyes
My heart on my sleeve
I trip again
He stands above me
The moonlight illuminates his form
He reaches out his hand
Eyes speaking
"truce?"
I nod
Getting up we walk towards the others
Who stood by laughing
As we played our game
I look in his eyes
The mysterious glint is back
Filled with joy
I know I am blessed
As our bodies crash again to the sand
Wonderful sky
Blossoming love
