His Signs

Sometimes I feel like a ghost, a reminder that I can find God.

Sometimes I feel others are ungrateful, a sign that I need to thank God.

Sometimes I feel unheard, letting me know He is waiting to listen.

Sometimes I feel unimportant, hinting that my number one priority should be God.

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with desire, making me feel a fraction of His desire for me.

Sometimes I feel rejected, a display of the way I have rejected Him.

Sometimes I feel defective, shining a light on His unconditional acceptance.

Sometimes I feel unloved, pointing me back to Him, the source of love.

Still Flutters

You enter the room,

Sparks ignite in me,

Shall I say hello,

Compulsive thoughts and adreneline consume me,

I pull it in trying to gain control,

My heart beat flutters,

As I sit still and watch you leave,

Never letting you know,

What you do to me.

Meet Me

Will you meet me in the sunshine?

Will you meet me in the park?

Will you meet me by the waterfall?

Or on the playground after dark?

...

Will you meet me by the lighthouse?

Will you meet me for the sunset?

Will you meet me just for dinner?

Or simply to get our feet wet?

...

Will you meet me underneath the stars?

Will you take me to the moon?

Will you fly me over the ocean?

Just don't bring me home too soon.

Spinning Chaos

Chaotic and blind,

We wander the Earth for a glimpse,

And the pain of never knowing,

We cover it up with 34 hours of television per week,

Ignoring the lonely, hungry and cold,

We cover the hurt with our orgies, sex clubs and midnight pornography,

Beat it to a pulp,

Watching other people live their lives,

Climbing social ladders of sports, celebrities and corporate kings,

Instead of seeing the chains, brokenness and suffering for what it is,

To what end is this insanity?

To what end is this madness?

A glimpse of hope,

The pedestal of love we've built,

Chasing dreams till they die,

Then we die,

And in a moment look back at the spinning plates,

And as they freeze,

And drop and fade away,

We finally find peace.

Wrap Me in Your Arms

How my heart longs for you,

Take me in to rest your head,

Pull me close and hold me tight,

Let me kiss you forever more,

Make my words and mind consumed by thoughts of you,

Tell me all your worries,

Let me guide you, seduce you,

Kill your loneliness,

Bring you back to childhood innocence,

Give you memories you never had a chance to experience,

Hold my hand, feel my love, walk with me,

Let time slip away,

My dear sweet love,

My one and only Valentine.

Silent Tears

A heart so cold,

Twenty years frozen,

Finally melting away,

Bringing me back to feel full pain,

Silent tears leak from my eyes,

Reminding me of the soaked wet pillows of my youth,

Crying to sleep each night,

Alone and afraid,

Uttering sounds was no use,

For I had learned there was no one who would comfort me,

No one who could be trusted to protect me,

So the tears fell,

And now they return.

The Power of Faith

My confidence is shattered,

My time it fades away,

Dreams slip through my fingers.

Yet, still I hope.

My prayers grow stronger day by day,

My faith is greatly present,

Promises yet to be fulfilled,

And I still believe.
