Just once was all it took
for Him to profess his love
reached out to hold our hands
and to say
He'd never leave us

Just once was all it took
for Him to know us all
listened to our hearts
and to say
He'd always love us

Just once was all it took
for Him to show that love
died upon the cross
and to say
Forgive them Father

Just once was all it took
and for that
I am truly grateful

Thank God
and it only happened
just once

The other day the clouds cried
A-a-a-and it was louder than

So much louder than the sanity I thought I had

The skies rendered emptiness

The epitome of the reflection of my soul when you're there, & I'm here,

& the works of art don't exist enough to connect out hearts

And no, empty doesn't always mean clear

I-I-I-I tried to write the other day but the moon was not in agreement

The terms we've come to tonight are a result of the evidence I recently provided to it:

I miss you

My hands are shaking

My arms are twitching

My muscles have deteriorated to such an extent that scratching my own head at the puzzlement of my house spinning is so painful

It is so painful

I am sore

I am so sore

& I just wanna be sure

I wanna be so sure

I want to be sure that our relationship won't deteriorate as my proteins have

Our world has already collapsed once

& the thing is when the body rebuilds proteins, the muscles become even stronger

My arms are shaking

My mind is racing

My hands are twitching

My eyes are waiting to be blessed by the essence of your presence that gives reverence to the very beings of heaven

(Which is to indulge in beauty)

I-I-I-I really want to be apart of your art

I want my thoughts to be found in the midst of your strokes

I want my emotions to be captured by your hues

I want my love to be complimented by my sorrow & I want them to blend in the midst of your creation

Make it so

I-I-I-I try to transfer the goldenness of your skin

& the beauty in your eyes into the words bespoke by my lips and the message hidden in between these lines

I pretend that my pen is a brush that paints the very hint of blush on your cheeks that glows as does Rudolph's nose everytime that jollyness speaks

My arms are killing me

Paint my pain as if it a flame that can't be tamed.
Please.

What's a diamond ring to a heart that calls you queen?
Your lips transpire peace
Your hips transpire cease
Your eyes inquire me
Your thoughts inspire me..

God, your thoughts inspire me..

To run
To fly
To laugh
To cry
To live
To die
To live
To die

I don't want to die..
I really, don't want to die..

Strike me with Zeus's bolt and pause my youth in time
So that I may capture your giggles on a Polaroid as if the moment was mine & hold each copy in my hands until that asteroid ends us

Ends this

Relentless have I been in my pursuit of happiness
Considerate have I been in my issue of love







My eyes are as heavy as your hands when it's time for me to go

No
You say no
Just stay

& I row myself down my intentions into a dimension in which I submit to the suspensions I promised my conscience before I even got to this point

Reminiscing is so dangerous
I finally see the pain in lust
Parallel to the pain in trust
We should ask Adam & Eve to take a train with us as we listen to them tell stories of love
Or God's face

You know...

Things that would cause a brain to bust
Turn a frame to dust  

Let's make history by making mutuality iconic

God, let's make love iconic





When I think about how to cultivate your face into words I don't think about articulating the right adjectives and verbs

But I do close my eyes and picture what went through my head the first time I heard my parent's wedding song

"Always & forever.. Each moment with you."

& immediately, immediately I fear being alone

& alone just translates to without you

& there's nothing wrong with me fearing a future without you because all I seem to do is think about it when I think about you

That's why every line about you ends up eluding to my past because thanks to you, even my most sacred thoughts get to last

I glue your name to my ceiling in hopes for all of God's favor and healing to hit you before it hits me

God gets me




What's a diamond ring to a heart that calls you queen?
To a throne covered in love with rose petals at your feet?
To a chandelier made out of my admiration
What about harps that play your name?
Or a prayer every night and a kiss every morning to remind you that this love will never change

His life is now a question
He says please, dont give in and make this an abortion
I can give you and him laughter; I can bring you joy
I know u would love to see me play
So why would you think such things,
If this is how you feel?
Isn’t  there another choice for me?
Why arent you happy with me?
Im excited to see the sun and moon,
You make them sound so great!
I count the days until I am born,
But the days keep getting shorter I feel
So please mommy, just remember,
that whatever decision you make for me it cannot be undone.

She walks the dark alley alone,  
Tears in her eyes.  
Touching the small bump on her belly,  
Thankful she can still see her thighs.
Baby daddy gone missing
No more kissing
It's time to decide this decision she'd been dismissing.
69 Ruby Drive.
She knocks, slowly walks inside
Looks left, looks right
A rickety little table,
One not so bright hanging tiny light
A man with a face she can hardly see
Walks over, touching her belly
She cringes, but doesn't move
"It's not too late, but we gotta do this soon"
His voice is small for his large frame,
He pulls out his tools like he's playing a game,  
Lines the metallic instruments in a neat little row
"Come on sugar, you ready to go?"
Removing her pants,  she lays down,  
The little table makes a loud creaking sound
He works his tools, like he does this everyday,  
Ripping and tearing another life away.
Closing her eyes,  she pictures something else
A happy place away from this hell,  
She was given no choice it seems
Beautiful girl of only fifteen,  
How long it seems to her,  she was only a child
Carefree and innocent,
Boys,  they came and went
Now she's here,  killing a small life.
"All done!" he says with a smile and a final twist of his knife.
She knows there's pain,  somewhere under there,  
But she feels nothing as she quickly puts on her underwear.  
"A hundred dollars please little girl"
He says as he washes away the smallest soul she'd ever seen
Handed him the *** of bills as if in a dream
"Thanks" he says as she quickly runs out the door
Thinking she's just another *****,
More tears slowly release from her eyes,  
Telling herself she cannot cry,  
But the dam bursts for that little life she should have put first
A child all her own,  she'll never come to know
With no where left to call home
She walks the dark alley alone.
I am against abortion, for the record.
I hate to learn that
For sure I jam your mind
But I love you
Your respect is paramount
For my case
You took all my feelings
And even if this night is long
It will end
In a crack of dawn.
You go to bed
To remain sleepless
Not that you are OK
But because someone
Is in your mind
And your heart sweats blood
Its painful and really painful
....
But not so long
Love is cultivated.
