Heaven is surely here,
hidden within the
heart of man as love.
This is heaven
that I feel within.
Pure bliss
it is definitely.
My whole being
resonates to it.
I am grateful
for this moment
in time.
Filled with
unimaginable love,
A love that sheds
a joyous tears.
Sacred and pure,
it is here to
keep and hallow me.
A love that
forgives and forgets,
a love that
remember nothing
but just to please
and love deeply.
A love that
counts no errors,
but enfolds and
comforts you.
No guilt or deceit
can ever penetrate it.
Though sometimes painful,
it heals without a scar.
Weighed on a scale of
divine purity,
it binds the heart
with joyful tenderness
and sets it free.
This love
doesn't criticize,
it admonish
with compassion,
not confusion.
That life you
wanted so much,
is in your heart,
it will sprout to bring
glory to your soul.
Never minding what
you see or feel.
If it finds you worthy
will rest and abide
in you forever.
Cherish this
moment always
for you may never
have it back ever.

If tomorrow never comes for me
If I shall not wake in the morning
Would you know I love you
Would you know I care

You where a rose unlike any other
You invited me to grip you tight
You knew your thorns shined bright
Yet I gripped with all my might
Just to have my blood come to sight
“It’s love” I said
“Look at all the red”

Silent stays the day
it won't judge or speak
until the sun has set
with words that praise or make you sick.

I had my chance
now it's too late
thr rain of time
has washed away
my footprints
'twas my fault
I can't blame fate--
the glory then
was mine--every inch-
all the way beauty  went
in search of my heart
but I stood apart
lost in binge*

and now left alone
with wrinkled ache
I could claim
nothing of my own
only regret
I have forgotten
the person I once was
in my pristine prime
when all was at my behest
the purest gems
sadly I did neglect
and what I have inherited
is but the meanest alms-

I don't wish
for a moment
to know my own name

self-pity embitters
and cries out in shame
