Love like the sun
Loves the earth
Ever since they met
They dance every day

The sun makes the earth
Look on the brighter side
The earth gives the sun
A reason to wake up

Love like the earth
Loves the sun
Because the earth isn’t distracted
By the stars and the moon

Cold winter nights,
When I crave for the warmth of your skin
Our love drops ocean deep
And your heart is the treasure, and when unlocked joy is to be found within.

Without you, I vision a blurry future
You’re the lenses which magnify the beauty of a clearer future
I’ll be the provider of your every smile
I’ll be the comfortable of your every cry
In darkness, my hunger for you screams bright colors
Your love is the paintbrush that paints a picture that helps me get by.

Let the rain wash away your insecurities
I’ll be the sunshine
The sunshine which will highlight your beauties
I hope that the power of the happiness you give is never out of reach
And I don’t care if we die poor
The strength of our love will be what makes us rich.

You faded out of existence
The ghosts of our memories haunt the planet we once lived in
I can still taste the blissfulness of your kiss
In my dreams
Reality,
Has become a nightmare eclipse by loneliness.

Having withdrawals
I am an addict
Craving for your touch,
A drug that once enticed a state of perpetual euphoria.

Reminiscing about the conversations about “forever”
An ideology so foreign to my ignorant heart
You
Only You
Made me oblivious to the ticking clocks
They seemed irrelevant when I was lost (and found) in the mystery of your hypnotizing eyes.

Your soul
A magician in a simplistic way
Presented an illusion of “love”
I
For one
Fell for it
Without remembering that illusions are not meant to be real.

I lost a poem the other day
containing all the words I planned to say
A heart poured out upon even lines
an ink stained sheet offering words that rhyme
..
I think I wrote of a love so long ago
memories I'd forgotten now, or didn't know
It may hold the answers to my weakened heart
or at least lead me to a future I'd wish to start
.
I'd like to see once again these words that spoke to me
they offered a warmth comforting many anxieties
So, if you see my lonely words just floating around
please try to capture them or entice them to the ground
..
I need to read the thoughts once stored in my heart
from these words I can no longer be apart
These precious forms they heal my tainted soul
pulling me together again,  making me feel whole

Take the precious pen
and tuck it safely away
the words are not here
the ink will not speak today

Straighten the stark parchment
and push it to one side
the words will not appear
they remain hidden somewhere inside

Push my dutiful desk
far away from the window
the words do not need a place
when there are none to show

Store away my chair
make use of it elsewhere
the words have disappeared
and I have none left to share

Take me from this room
a quiet place no longer in need
the words are now so still
perhaps it is I they'll no longer feed
¤
I wrote this a while ago and fortunately I am not without words,  for now anyway.
What a life! So short, yet looking very long
Offering so much but leaving souls yearning for some more.
Questions like; what it is, where it is and how to get through,
Keeps the mind wondering and the soul with a vacuum

If you know the creator of heaven and earth
And believe He sent His only Son in your stead
Who suffered shame and hung on the cross till death
Then you are an heir and you breathe the father’s breath

If you know that the father knows you not
And you feel like you’re ripe for that place that’s hot
If you’re stained and can’t be cleaned with water from tap.
Then, like a lost traveler, you are lost and in need of a map

If you believe you’re lost and desire direction
Reach for the Son whose spirit gives the instruction.
Engraved in His stripes is the way that leads to life
You only need to believe and He'll take your strive

The father has a home above, kept as our treasure
And desire to redeem man from his fall to this place of pleasure
He sent the son to make a way and stand in the gap
Bridging the way to our treasure; so we could follow Him the map
May I steal some time to talk about my faith, the very essence of my writings and purpose for living here on earth in Jesus... He is the reason  I live and the very reason i Love
