Substance of things unseen
Of children's dreams
Those believed for
Secretly yearned for
That of my beating heart

The hand that wipes these tears
Stills my ranting fears
Locks the monsters back in their closet
Rocks me back to sleep
That of my lonely whisper

The voice of lovers missed
The dancer with broken bones
The caged bird that still sings
The broken girl that still dreams
Keeps calm and carries on

Hope,
The lonely voice inside my head.
I wasn't looking when you came around
Fingers crossed would you stay?
Letting life take its course
Would our paths cross again?
Only exposed to wasted time
Oh dear would you waste mine?
Very slow our pace
Good things come from the wait

The challenge left me breathless
Could I make you mine?
Rarely one to stick around
This time wasn't the same
Even through your storm
A little rain wouldn't ruin our parade

Over the hills and across the puddles
Was I in too deep?
But slow and steady you won my race
What more could I do?

Every single day bringing me bliss
What more could I ask for
Even the pain worth my while
**Oh boy was I trapped
He
He has big dreams
big dreamy eyes
big dreamy lies
He has gold mines

He has issues
battles he is yet to overcome
steaming piles of baggage
He has dark sides

He has the gun
the bullet to start the war
the foolish heart from my sleeve
He has blurred lines

He has the buttons
pushes them with no secomd thought
takes it all and leaves me sore
He has many times

He has no control
it's all madness
complicated madness
He has it all


Thankfully, I have ME
Sirius
opalescent, effulgent
twinkling, scorching, flickering
sky's brightest star, earth's nearest star
shimmering, blazing, blistering
polychromatic, luminous
Sun

You
Round
And round
This cycle is an abyss

Falling
And falling
Pick me up
Make me smile
But I know better

Running
And running
From freedom
To captivity
Then back again

Chasing
Always chasing
A dream. A fantasy.
A happy ending for me and you.
I want to whisk you away
Hold her hand like it's the only thing anchoring you to this planet
Let her wear your jacket (she likes the way it smells)
Tell her she's beautiful
Not hot.
Not ****.
Lot's of girls love themselves from the shoulders on down
Don't make the same mistake
Serenade her with corny declarations of love
I wish I lived in your socks, so I could be with you every step of the way
When life gets hard for her
Do you have a band-aid? Because I think I scraped my knee falling in love with you
When believing you love her gets hard for her
You should be a baker, because your buns are perfect
When looking in the mirror gets hard for her
Let's play Titanic: You be the iceberg, and I'll go down
When you get hard for her
Kiss her on the forehead (but only if you're tall enough to do so easily)
Worship her personality in front of friends
Worship her mind in front of parents
Worship her body in private
Worship her body in public when no one's looking
Never let her go to bed without hearing *I love you

Tie her shoe for her
Wrap your arms around her when she cries
Don't be her Prince Charming
Don't be her Knight in Shining Armor
Be the WHOLE **** KINGDOM
Be her best-friend, boyfriend, and bed-buddy
Don't be a baby: let her take pictures of you
Remember- every touch makes her heart race
Make her heart race
**Then whisk her away
If I met you
Twelve years from past
You might in school
With your first crush

If I met you
Nine years back then
You might in prom
With your first dance

If I met you
Six year 'fore now
You might have found
Partner in life

If I met you
Three years at once
You might be the one
Always broke me down

If I met you*
Not by this time
You wouldn't realise
You had me as your one

(May 2016)
Slandered
Without evidence;

Possessed
By seven demons.

Delivered
Into discipleship;

She didn't
Betray nor deny Christ;

Neither fled from
Garden, cross nor grave.

But the first
To herald His resurrection.
A brevity poem inspired by the person of  Mary Magdelane.    
Who was Mary Magdelane really.    Was she the ******* everybody assumes.  What is her story?
