I could not believe my eyes, when I saw the horror of it all. How could one man endure so much pain. I felt his anguish and my heart was ****** through. I agonize to just think of it. Such a young life taken, for no apparent reason at all. Then to be ****** through with such cruelty. I saw the tears of his mother and saw the water flow from the wound. I was broken and fell to my knees. At his last moment, he looked at me with piercing eyes and as his side had been pierced, so was my own soul. I surrendered to the wounding of my spirit and repented then and there. Now I strive to heal the wound and mend the scar, that I found at Calvary.

I Want to be Stuck

I Want to be Stuck

I want you, except
not in the possessive sense--
more within every sense:

to draw in the scent
of your coconut and lemon skin,

to hear the faint, tranquil
sound of your frank sentences,

which, as the taste of your lips,
takes days to truly comprehend,

to drench my fingertips in
the soft light of your hair, golden,

to see the sight of your earthy eyes,
leading me to think the world is in

your head

and we're all lucky beings
trudging through thick swamps
just to get stuck
in this moment
with you.

War

War

Since time began
Wars where fought
But no one learned
The lessons taught

Two countries fight
People die
Wives weep
And parents cry

World war one
Blood was spilled
Soldiers on both sides
Where sadly killed

But the biggest question
The saddest sin
Did anybody
Really win

They should of learned
You know it's true
But still we had
A world war two

And once again
Blood was spilled
Soldiers fought
And we're sadly killed

So ask me
What I think of war
I think someone
Should change the law

But here we stand
On the brink
Of world war three
It makes you think

Does anybody
Win a war
Or will we fight
Forever more

Let not one soldier
Die in vain
Let no one fight
A war again

Cos if we do
The superpowers
Could destroy this world
In a couple of hours

It Must Grow

For all of the times that I thought I fell in love
This surpasses them all
Lifting my body and soul into the clouds
There is no need to fall

There is no pressure to jump
Only a hand to walk by my side
For all of those times that I thought I was in love
I now just say I was simply blind

With the weight of my stresses forcing me down
He soothes my mind and brightens my days
Gifting me laughter and his strong embrace
He understands me in all of my different ways

For all of those people whom I've claimed to love
The love had faded each time so fast
I do now believe because I fell into it
That love never truly had a chance

This man, he has given me a seed
He gently wrapped it in my hand
He helps me water it daily
And we wait patiently for it to expand

Delicate and frail this tiny blossom shall be
But in time it will stand strong within the forest
A symbol of what he and I could be
If true love is in fact written in the stars for us.

Thoughts are skipping around, so many different ways to go with this, but this is the first thought that came to mind and sometimes a messy poem can portray the realist emotions.

on the surface

on the surface

i feel like i've always known people
on the surface
and hid my true self from others for years
i crave deep relationships
but hopefully
i can let go of my fear
and just be myself
and i guess sometimes
you need those surface level friendships
to make you appreciate your deeper relationships more
