I used to want to die in her embrace
My last breath leaving from
The taste of her lips.
“Used to” is not bad
Yesterday’s not far away.

Just a flip in thought
and I’m there again.

Now? I’m afraid.
Scared to lose myself.
Afraid of the unknown.
Scared to become no one I know.

Or perhaps someone known,
But forgotten.
Lost.
Abandoned.

Courage too isn’t far away.
Just a flip in thought.
Always there.
Just under surrender.

A leap in the dark
Into the abyss of what’s to come.
Into an ocean of Love.

To die before I die.
To kiss her once more.
Then  rise from here
and float in the ocean.

One day soon.
I’ll die to her again.
My heart will be all remaining.
And nothing else matters.
Zywa 3d
Of course I'm the cook,

although we like to keep that --


negotiable.

Like a key and a padlock,
We unite in the Master's hand.

Like a pen and a paper,
We theorize in the Master's wisdom.

Like mud and water,
We form by the Master's will.

No us without His,
No me without you.

Complete in Him,
We edify one another as one.

Like a seed in the Master's vineyard,
We are fruitful,
Fulfilling our unity.
And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
-- Ecclesiastes 4:12
KJV Holy Bible

A union in God.

You are the stillness in my storm,

the quiet place where my soul exhales,

the warmth I reach for

when life turns to winter.


You are home—

where every mask slips softly from my

skin, and the rawest part of me

is free to speak,

to simply be.


You smooth the edges that pain left jagged,

you lift the light in me buried deep.

With you, I am known

in ways I never dared to hope.

Time is thief when I’m with you

The hours vanish—

still, it is not enough.

Even skin to skin,

I long to be closer, than closeness allows.


You were formed for me, and I for you—

not as halves, but as answers,

as mirrored calls across the dark.


And this love—

it grows, it deepens, it breathes,

an unfolding masterpiece,

written in the margins of our every day.
For my love and forever home.

The love we share

If wouldn't know
what I would do
If I didn't have you
Share me your heart and realize you aren't alone
Bring me your self and get off your phone
Drink some water and go to sleep
It's hard to focus on yourself when you're counting sheep

There's no solace in your mind
So let's all go outside
We can all play JFK
While we waste our lives away

Or you could tell me how you feel
How none of this could be real
That forever isn't that long
That my love isn't that strong

I promise you that's a lie
You're the one who has my heart
I'm telling you by and by
We'll get married, til death do us part.
Kendra is the name of the girl I want to marry.

To My Love,

We survived.

Through the storms, through the silence, through the ache of not being understood
we are still here. Not perfect, not untouched, but held. By something greater than both of us.

We searched for freedom, both in our own ways, and we didn’t know it then, but the search was the meaning. In that longing, we found God. And in God, we found that we were already whole.

The devil tried to break me. Tried to convince me that pain was my portion. But he didn’t see the strength of the Spirit living in me. Or the quiet, stubborn hope that still lives in you.

We pour into each other, even when we feel empty. And somehow God fills us back up.

We still hope for one another. And that hope? That’s love. That’s grace. That’s us.

I believe in who we’re becoming, not by force, not by fixing but by remembering who we already are in Him.
You're cheating on me with her                                                              ­                                                                 ­                                                  
  She's believing your every word                                                                       ­                                              
Does she know you promised me                                                               
To be all mine for eternity                                                                      ­                                               
Does she know you said you'd die                                                                                 
If it didn't work out for you & I?                                                               ­                                       
                         ­                                                                 ­              
   Couldn't you make her understand                                                                     ­
That you & I had made plans?                                                           ­       
                                                                ­                                                    
Is she ready for a broken heart                                                            ­              
                                                  ­                                                                 ­ 
or did you leave out that part                                                             ­                                                
 Is she ready to sit by the phone                                                                          ­                                                       
Is she happy home & alone                                                            ­                                                                                                                 ­                                                
Does she like heartbreak                                                                                       ­                                         
  Can she handle more than she can take                                                             ­                                          
 Does she want to be taken advantage of?                                                   
Then I am sure, it's true love

It broke me in silence
To know he wasn’t aware
To pretend and lie to me
That I wasn’t truly loved
That he used me
That everything I felt was true
I was gaslit
I was duty
It was conditional
It was all a performance
He gave me crumbs to keeps me hoping
Words became empty
Because the actions weren’t there

Awakening to the reality
Of what was really happening
Broke me
And still I hoped he would change
I thought his patience meant he cared
It was to keep me quiet as he did what he wanted
He said why can’t I accept him as he is
I said I can’t betray myself anymore
