Me
In a time before time was
Lived a man in his cave
He did things like a man does
Showing no emotion calling it brave

However, he lived like every other man
Doing what he ought, following his plan
He never thought of what he couldn’t see
He only thought of the man called me

In his mind there was only a higher being
In some strange way this gave him meaning
Irrationality seemed to be in his nature
His logic was nothing more than a fracture

He could never understand why
Some birds walk and others fly
Yet busyness seemed to be the solution
As his time became his pollution

As the days turned to weeks
His mind grew more leaks
Never taking time to think
His life was gone in a blink

Here is a man like you and I
Who never asked the question why
Simply going through life’s motions
Responding to everyone else’s notions

He lost his identity in the rush
So we must learn to take note
Take the time to help yourself hush
And read the letter God wrote
Like a coin tossed in the air
I’m spinning faster and faster
This aggression I cannot bear
The inner strength I cannot muster
I have lost sight of the goal
I am losing the peace in my soul
Being stolen by sin and stress
Oh Lord just look at this mess
I am being pushed to please men
But I would rather die than do that again
Yet if that not enough pain
I’ve been living a life that is vain
Caught in the hypocrisy
That has become me
I thought I grew
I thought I knew
More than I used to know
But the growth has been so slow
I cannot help but look to me
And be overwhelmed by shame and pity
Oh Lord many who read judge
And others say be careful of man
But Lord I have grown numb to your nudge
And I need no man’s silly plan
No one can offer me a secure dwelling
All the evidence is compelling
If I were to die I’d be dead
But still I hear bad thoughts in my head
I guess most have stopped reading by now
So Lord I need a break through somehow
I can’t help but fall short
I look around for any kind of support
I feel so isolated in this place
It like no one wants to confront disgrace
They would rather hide it with a smile
And they hurt in the mean while
Lord please share with me a peek
Into what I am meant to be
Because right now I am weak
And defeat is all I see
I know the right way to go
But my heart just doesn’t know
I have the words to say
But my life is so far from ok
What do I do?
When all I want to do
Is simply die for you
Lord, give me strength for the day I begin
Lord only You have overcome sin
So I pray that You will restore all
As I fight to keep my soul
Tucked firmly under Your wing
Lord to you I give my everything
If I wrote you a beautiful sonnet
With all my inner thoughts on it
Would you pay any attention?
Would it spark any sort of affection?

I just wonder what it would take
To make you realize my heartache
Must I look like another man?
Will you then be my fan?

If I were more talented at performing
If I could keep you smiling and laughing
Then would I fit into your conception?
Then would I receive your reception?

Does not all love require an act?
This is what I know to be fact
Love requires a performance
Then you judge if I deserve your acceptance

I am loved based on my actions
My decisions have their implications
But do they have to?
Does this have to be true?

Why do we restrict our love to the qualified?
Why do we leave so many to be denied?
Dear wife,
What words could be said
I’m heels over head
I am in awe of who you are
You are the brightest star
You are a mighty waterfall
Strong and standing tall
Yet pouring all your love out
Refreshing all without a doubt
You are the sweetest song
You are where I belong
I look forward to the day we meet
But ‘til then may God lead our feet
I will be in His moulding hands
As a boy who barely understands
Yet I will be your man pure of heart
From His Word to never depart
May you find me to be
All He intends me to be
To my wife
The stars are bright on this cold night
The song is sung as the last bell was rung
We were dancing slowly in the moon light
She twirled and spun for the night had just begun

Her smile was the only thing that I cared to see
Her eyes were shining out the beauty that was inside
She danced all night and then she danced with me
It was just like heaven as we stood side by side

The beat was slow and steady
But my heart wasn’t ready
For the charms that she sent my way
I was snared and I was caught
Yet there wasn’t a word left to say
Because she was the girl that made me feel like an astronaut

Before I knew it the night was gone
There were no victors no one won
Won the heart of the beauty queen
She had taken me to places I have never been
But the night was through and so was I
The queen was never one to cry

Night after night I searched high and low
For the girl with the magic glow

As I was about to quit
I felt the soft, quiet spirit
He touched my heart and led me home
And there was the queen sitting all alone
I knocked on your door a little after twelve
You were lying on the floor staring through a valve
Nothing going in, but only emitting out
You’re suffocating within all your doubt
I reach my hand out to save you
But you say you’re just feeling blue

If life’s about emotions
And not about tomorrow
Then we might as well follow
All of our compulsions

I looked in your eyes for something past your pain
I began to realize the beauty that was plain
Yet still your thoughts grew darker than the night sky
But God’s love is stronger even when you cry
I reach my hand out to save you
But you say you’re just feeling blue

If life’s about emotions
And not about tomorrow
Then we might as well follow
All of our compulsions

I saw you in the day a smile was on your face
Everyone thought you were okay but that was out of place
I saw the scars and tears I saw the broken heart
I know your pain and fears tearing you apart
I reach my hand out to save you
But you say you’re just feeling blue

If life’s about emotions
And not about tomorrow
Then we might as well follow
All of our compulsions

I walked home with you last night in the pouring rain
Your heart was sore and contrite never having a name
So I hope you know that I am still here
Every time you go to the mirror dear
I reach my hand out to save you
But you say you’re just feeling blue

If life’s about emotions
And not about tomorrow
Then we might as well follow
All of our compulsions

I reach my hand out again but only to myself
The mirror is my den evidence of the gulf
Between ideals and life oh shame the little dreamer
Struggling in his strife there is a day that will be cleaner
