Redemption

I called on your heart and found
Beautiful things that abound
But a chamber was there that no one could see
and a scar that is deep and profound.

Awful events had to hide
Making you anxious inside
You should not have borne this burden alone
No one knows how much you cried

We can redeem every tear
Comfort each thought, every fear
No matter what hurt that innocent heart
To me you are perfect and pure 

You wanted to know

I don't love you for your cooking
Though you make the greatest food
I don't love you cause your sexy
Though you put me in the mood
I don't love you cause I won you
Though you are the greatest prize
I don't love you for your looks
Though you have such pretty eyes
I don't love you cause you're moral
Though I know you're just and true
I love you for one reason
Cause you're good at being you.

Rejoined

My dream, was you were near
My life, was as I feared
My eyes, were shedding tears
I was alone
Your name, under my breath
Your love, after you left
Your heart, within my chest
Yearning takes flight
Through walls, a gentle breeze
Through frost, and swaying trees
Through storms, over the seas
This longing soars
Past spite, of hateful men
Past hell, if you descend
Past pain, with souls to mend
Spirits rejoin.

In Flight

While separate and alone
The inner person groans
By keeping love in sight
Two spirits take to flight
If ours would ever cease
I'd find no inner peace
A void a mile wide
My heart would keep inside
That's where I'll always stand
Can't change the inner man

Abode

You traveled through my heart
and settled in my head.
That's how it all began.
You're in my thoughts again.

When feelings are expressed
and no one seems to care.
I know you'll understand.
You're in my thoughts again.

At night when silence reigns.
You're sleeping far away.
Yet still my closest friend.
You're in my thoughts again.

Wait and Dream

 A moonlit night

Behind a tree shadow

The seeker unseen

One with the dark

Undiscovered

Morning with songbirds

Shake off the dew

Mind full of new words

The sky full of new colors 

A day full of new moments

The afternoon sun

Short shadows and brightness

Dust devils, slow breezes

Sing a pleasant song

Peace and calm

Even tide change

Bright colors for gray

At rest with the world

Waiting for stars

Dreaming of love 

My Rebellion

We wish to redress the past

Make future joys that will last

Try so hard to hold fast

We are prisoners of time

Enjoyment skips away

Sorrow demands to stay

Life should always be play

Yet we are constrained

To be serene not mundane

Excited without noisy strain

Youth cannot be retained

We must age to find new

I am a prisoner of time

My heart, soul and mind

This is my rebellion defined

Savor each moment
