Future

Things never go as planned
yet we are told to plan this future
that may or may not work out.

We are told to do certain things
that will help in the future
but we’re not even sure what the
future is.

Things never go as planned
but maybe it leads to
something better.

In the Depths

How can I find rest when I am weary
struggling through this test, these days are dreary
losing hope when things go wrong
and life just drags my heart along
I'm down here in the depths but where are You?

Lead me in a way that I can follow
show me how Your love is more than hollow
words which can erase the pain
when trouble comes, something to gain
could you be here in the depths and see me through?

Taking one more step in Your direction
learning that my thoughts need firm correction
grasping grace I realize,
I'm running towards the greater prize
and want to hear your voice within my soul

We all need hope but sometimes lose our footing
and soon forget the proof is in the pudding
I tend to get my knickers in
the slightest pinch when I don't win
the thing which I had prayed for from on high

Forgiveness is the key for Neptune's daughter
loosed the chains which held her underwater
and surging towards the light of day
the swimmers pulled her out and pray
trouble taught her patience in the night

Cheating

Cheating

It took me by surprise as she pulled my tie
The feelings of her fingers
Felt intense beyond all boundaries
I try to push her away

The gentle caress turn into
concentrated acts of inducement
Simply
Loss of stability in satisfaction

Two hearts beating rapidly
Her legs are beyond me
The sounds escaping her mouth
Leaves me in a trance

Ever shifting time cursed me
Because
The love of my life
Stood there watching...

The whole time

Shifting Sheet

This sheet is so light,
Yet it feels so heavy.

Life calls,
but this sheet lets it ring and ring.
and wring and wring.

It chokes me with comfort and warmth,
and fills my head with excuses.

Why leave something so secure and wander in that jungle we call life?

This sheet is so light ,
but its the devil on my shoulder.
and truly is as heavy as a boulder.

in case you weren't aware

you made me fly
like a cool breeze through a pile of dead leaves

i listened to you with my lips
when i wish i had been deaf

i watched you with my fingertips
turns out i needed glasses anyway

unfinished, i think.

That Feeling or Like smooth paper

That Feeling or Like smooth paper

You know that feeling?
when you come home drenched in rain and happiness after
a Downpour
When you hair is plastered
to your face and that
Feeling
of when you take that first sip of tea.
How it seems to target
all the places of the rain that hit your skin

You know that feeling when you take
a big Gulp,
and the heat traces
its way
all the way into your stomach
and Suddenly you aren't cold anymore
your body parts are, but
you aren't

You know that feeling of half dry skin?
How it feels like smooth paper.

You know that feeling when suddenly, Things
don't matter.
It doesn't matter if you got that scarf wet
or if you'll catch a cold
because you have that Feeling

And that feeling makes everything else
okay
