I'm looking, searching,
for you my dear,
Your love is in my sights.

Were I to hold a candle,
dear,
You'd be my glowing light.

I could not, would not,
wish for you to say
that I'm your only one,

Unless my heart looked to yours
like a thousand burning suns.

So all I ask
in this poem to you,
is that you'll understand,

I only desire
a love that earns
the want of a wedding band.

I catch a glimpse of you sitting there on the side walk.
By yourself, random guy, I don't know who you are.
Man, do I ever sound like the creep?
But that's okay, I'm imagining what you're
contemplating down there.
Could it be a hazy daydream that floats
to the heavens with the smoke from your cigarette?
I look back up, and you're gone.
Could this have been just a dream?
The star-shaped glow of the street lamp tells
me otherwise.
Maybe one day you'll see me reminiscing on some-such
matters of importance.
Wouldn't that be funny?
And the only One who really knows
besides ourselves
is the One who knows us better than we know
ourselves.
I like to think He delights in our thoughts,
His children,
no matter how unimportant or minuscule they seem to be at times.
Let's take some time to dwell on Him.

Can you please tell me
Why it is that i can't see
What is down the road?

Like a fiddle's song
you play in my head all day,
wishing you were here.

The wind through the trees
are the sweetest melody
to make me feel clean.

Don't think I'm alone
for around me today is
a ring of gold sun.

Crown my head with cloves,
leaves, barley, and sunflowers
for I wish to dance.

Tallies on my hand
Stand for all the times
I've thought of you

Listing one by one
My need of constant
Refuge.
In you.

By why no answer back?
Is it something that
I lack?

Listing one by one
The reasons you've
Begun

To be my star and sun
Am I the only one

Who feels this way?

i want to tell a story,
a story with my words.
you and me together,
the finest flock of birds.

we fly together always,
although we are apart.
your wings beat strong beside me,
while I fleetingly dance and dart.

Up over mountains,
across all seas,
We have not travelled yet.

but flying forever,
beside you,
My Heart in Yours is Kept.

Bone of Bone,
Blue of Blue,
I don't see anyone
the way I see You.

Like a model who walks,
With hair all astray,
That's how I see you,
in a most
Similar Way.

i love you, i love you,
every day

but being away,
makes it
harder to say

are we meant to be?

can this love,
if it's true,
really wait?

the test of time will show,
it's only God who knows.

but, oh, how i wish
i could see,

a way to explain

you and me.
