I    thought    I    had    moved    on
My    mind    drifted
To ­   lovelier    things
And    people
Vast    mountain    cliffs
Ba­shed    with    frozen    waves
Wind    in    the    fall    leav­es
And    a    solidarity
In    my    soul
But    here    I    am­
Once    again
Wishing    for    what    we    were
Even    thoug­h
I    told    you
It    was     time    to    move    on
So    you     did
But    I'm    lost    again
At    a    loss
With    your    p­hantom    arms
Around me
A    wasted    wish
That    things    were    different
But   ­ they're    not
I    guess
Maybe    now
You're     happy
And    I     guess
That's    all    I    really    wanted
Maybe
Just    maybe
It's    better    this    way

Maybe
When we've both changed
And the time is right
You'll find me again

I've known
Between the flirting
And the subtle touches
Neither of us speak about
And the prolonged eye contact
That there was something
Something big
Right in front of us
But I never knew
How your name could make me feel
Remembering your touch
Could make my senses tingle
Thinking of you
Sends feelings through me
That I've never felt before
And selfishly
All I want to do
Is drive to your house
And tell you to kiss me
Let you push me up against the wall
And melt into your touch
But I can't
I can't offer you
Anything
Not
A thing
Not a relationship
Or a shared belief
Not myself
So I guess
I'll think of you
One last time
And wonder
What could have been
Before I forget
The way we feel

Some dark and lonely days

    I want to run away                                  

And find a lovely place

Want to go somewhere                            

With freshened golden air

Where no one knows my face                

Drink wine in noontime sun

Where I don't know anyone                    

And learn to be okay

With being not okay

He holds me in His gentle hands
And shows His love where'ere He can
He gives me strength when I am weak
And provides words where I can't speak
I need my Father close to me
I know He's there when I can't see
He holds me with His Father heart
I know He will never depart
I've been struggling with one particular sin lately, and I was going to write a poem that reflected more or less my love if that sin, and as I was about to publish it, Christ withheld my hand. He helped me delete it and write this instead. He gave me the words and the rhymes and they fell from my lips like a memorized verse. There was no struggle to find the right words and corresponding rhymes- Here have them to me. Sin is confusing and lonely. God... He makes sense. He leads only to joy and peace. God alone is holy. I need my precious heavenly father to stay my sin and give me the strength to vanquish it when I know I am too weak to do it alone. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. 😌😌😌🙏🙌

I guess I believe
That no matter how many times
We're stitched together
We always fall apart again

Gone is the girl
Who came to You
But now by You
I cometh through
My only source of joy, sanity, health, my only flow of life and love, and lifted spirit, my strength and courage, my peace and wisdom, my heart and soul are all given to me and led to by a man I cannot see.
