Poems

Alexander Ross Aug 2013
I came, nearly unknown, shining as bright as the sun, one look upon you in the morning light and I was scared of the things to come.
I wasn't quite running from the things I had done, just looking for a better face to pull some words from my heartstrings, that I'm scared to let you strum,for  the strings are old, and a tune I just can't hold
Down the hall, down the hall

Last night I watched you retreat inside your shell as your drew a new dimension to yourself, I fear soon I will be just another old memory upon dusty shelf, down the hall, down the hall

Words have been escaping me as you hide inside your walls, a place where you sing all your favorite songs and I'm the only the one who attempts to interpret the feelings behind the high notes you hit, down the hall, down the hall

Now I never see you in my favorite light anymore, exposing your fears, telling me about your last 2 years and how you realized it wasn't what you wanted, down the hall, down the hall

Just like you, I'm afraid to give myself up, far from home, i still sleep alone, but someone called me here, and I came because I knew something Inspirational  was awaiting my arrival, down the hall, down the hall

We are Creatures of the night, I dream of you taking flight, And my hand upon your thigh, I promise I am a man who will not lie, but based on the shine in your eye, I can tell you hope I'm nothing like that last guy, down the hall, down the hall, down the hall, down the hall, I do promise that when and if your ready, I will catch you if you are to fall,

I rushed to you...  in my light weighted white servant dress.. into your main hall way of many plans...

My Lord... you stood there... your back towards me... but slowly, you turned around and motioned me to come towards you

My eyes did not loose focus as I ran up to you and knelt before your holy presence... and lifted up my hands

"You called for me Oh Lord... What do you ask of me?"

"Another hall of rooms requires your skill in cleaning and organization." Was his command

"A....Another hall?  More rooms?...." I questioned, my head lifted up to see cold sincerity take over his faithful eyes

A single finger pointed in the direction I never thought it would point... I felt my jaw drop...my legs.. I couldn't stand

"My Lord... That hall... Are you certain?" I asked with hesitation. But questioning him only made the answer more clear

"Does the Perfect make mistakes?" His question to my question was my answer... My mind sunk like sand

"...Forgive me but...All the rooms?" I said as my voice lost it's life filled sound... My eyes leaking as I caught a glimpse of the dark unknown rooms...

He grabbed one of my hands and made me stand on my feet. Knowing all of my doubtful thoughts... since I am apart of man

"I will open and close the doors as I see fit in My Perfect Timing... Just obey and trust my words my Good and Faithful Servant..."

I shook my head... I saw strangers... I saw places I never wished to visit... I felt my plans being hanged

"But...My God...what about the hall I've been asking to do for several years? When will I do that one? Why can't I do that one?"

I heard the doors of that hall slam shut, within a gasp of a breath I turned around... pupils shaken.. mind banged

"Thy Will Be Done... Do you not trust my judgement of having you do this hall? Do you not hear nor see your calling? Christina? "

"STOP!" I screamed as I dared to flee form his royal company... and rebelled against his command... My heart beats jammed

I crashed my small frail body that slowly grew gray and dark into the doors of the hall I desired...

I screamed... I shouted.... I wept... I begged... although I knew His mind would never be changed... My wants were ******

"Please... I have so many plans for this hall... maybe if you just listened.... I can't see my self in that other hall..."

I heard His unshakeable foundation of foot steps grow louder as He walked in my direction... reminding me of his demand

"Don't you believe I have plans for you in that other hall? Maybe if YOU just listen to me... You'll see why I see you in that other hall"

I was a fool to try to convince Him...but there was where I remained... refusing to move...for I didn't understand...

Forever by my side He remained...despite my disobedience... I tried to push Him away from me.. from my plans... my hopes

But little did I know what He had in store... as I saw people from the other hall walk towards me... hearing Him say "My plan for you... is Grand..."

*Thy Will Be Done...
