Beautiful Angel
Beautiful angel;
Filling my darkest corridors with light.
I think I might
Follow her to the stars,
But I’m scared.
She loves me more than I love myself.
I’m afraid she’ll really see me;
Letting me go;
Screaming.
As I fall to my death.
Beautiful angel.
Her soft kiss awakens me.
Opening my eyes
To a world of truth,
Not lies.
I want to hold her close,
But my embrace would be her demise.
She wants more than I can give.
Can this angel really live
Down here with me?
I love her so much. ...
Filling my darkest corridors with light.
I think I might
Follow her to the stars,
But I’m scared.
She loves me more than I love myself.
I’m afraid she’ll really see me;
Letting me go;
Screaming.
As I fall to my death.
Beautiful angel.
Her soft kiss awakens me.
Opening my eyes
To a world of truth,
Not lies.
I want to hold her close,
But my embrace would be her demise.
She wants more than I can give.
Can this angel really live
Down here with me?
I love her so much. ...

Opening the Cupboard
I keep the cupboard closed
To trap the noise and chaos in.
Trying to find some peace
From all the turmoil now within.
I keep the cupboard closed
To hide from all my mess.
My eyes don’t really want to see
The cause of all my stress.
I keep the cupboard closed,
What’s inside is forcing out.
Nothing but dark feelings
I’m too scared to talk about.
I keep the cupboard closed
A huge part of me locked in.
One day I’ll leave it open,
So the purging can begin.
To trap the noise and chaos in.
Trying to find some peace
From all the turmoil now within.
I keep the cupboard closed
To hide from all my mess.
My eyes don’t really want to see
The cause of all my stress.
I keep the cupboard closed,
What’s inside is forcing out.
Nothing but dark feelings
I’m too scared to talk about.
I keep the cupboard closed
A huge part of me locked in.
One day I’ll leave it open,
So the purging can begin.

My Dreams
I never was an early riser.
I’d rather live in my dreams.
Where everything is as it seems.
Where my heart’s still attached at the seams.
Where love rules and truth prevail.
A place where happiness dwells.
Where everything is as it seems.
I’d rather live in my dreams
I’d rather live in my dreams.
Where everything is as it seems.
Where my heart’s still attached at the seams.
Where love rules and truth prevail.
A place where happiness dwells.
Where everything is as it seems.
I’d rather live in my dreams

Love Jones
An indescribable,
Magnetic pull of the soul.
Irresistible momentum rising.
Questioning:
Should I stay
Or should I go to the stars?
High above the heavens.
Soaring through the moonlit sky.
A destiny fulfilled
As my heart swells to its entirety.
Experiencing a love so profound;
My feet no longer touch the ground.
It doesn’t make sense
When the love jones comes down.
Magnetic pull of the soul.
Irresistible momentum rising.
Questioning:

High above the heavens.
Soaring through the moonlit sky.

It doesn’t make sense

OBSERVATIONAL POEM

Messy Room
I can always tell the state of one’s mind
By the type of room they keep.
Is there clutter galore?
Clothes thrown on the floor?
Their thoughts must be in a heap.
Are there dishes with mold,
Like secrets untold,
Sitting high upon a shelf?
Is there trash everywhere?
Not giving a care
About nothing;
Not even oneself.
A room.
A mind.
Are two of a kind.
A place to store endless things,
But we must decide
What we store inside;
To feel the peace a clear room can bring.
By the type of room they keep.
Is there clutter galore?
Clothes thrown on the floor?
Their thoughts must be in a heap.
Are there dishes with mold,
Like secrets untold,
Sitting high upon a shelf?
Is there trash everywhere?
Not giving a care
About nothing;
Not even oneself.
A room.
A mind.
Are two of a kind.
A place to store endless things,
But we must decide
What we store inside;
To feel the peace a clear room can bring.

Love On Fire
A fire burns in my heart for you;
Not easily quenched.
You’ve clinched my hand in yours
As we walk through the flames together.
Undying passion engulfing us;
Melting our inhibitions;
Fusing us together as one.
A forever blaze of love.
Not easily quenched.
You’ve clinched my hand in yours
As we walk through the flames together.
Undying passion engulfing us;
Melting our inhibitions;
Fusing us together as one.
A forever blaze of love.

Just Me and You
You ignite the passion inside me.
Taking me to new levels of happy.
I'm almost ashamed to say
I'd be lost without you.
My thoughts become erratic;
My mood blue.
I never want to lose you.
Tell me you'll love me
And always stay true.
Forever.
Just me and you.
Taking me to new levels of happy.
I'm almost ashamed to say
I'd be lost without you.
My thoughts become erratic;
My mood blue.
I never want to lose you.
Tell me you'll love me
And always stay true.
Forever.
Just me and you.

There’s Always Hope
My heart was filled with sadness
And dark clouds of despair.
My tears were overflowing;
Couldn’t find peace anywhere.
Then the Son of God shined through
So mighty and so true.
I lifted up my eyes
And the sky had never looked so blue.
And dark clouds of despair.
My tears were overflowing;
Couldn’t find peace anywhere.
Then the Son of God shined through
So mighty and so true.
I lifted up my eyes
And the sky had never looked so blue.

My Jersey Girl
You came into my life
To light up my life.
I could talk to you for hours.
Can’t stay away from you for hours.
I think of your beautiful smile.
It makes my heart smile.
I loved the sound of your voice.
I long to hear your voice.
I wish I could talk to you again.
Come back to my life again.
To light up my life.
I could talk to you for hours.
Can’t stay away from you for hours.
I think of your beautiful smile.
It makes my heart smile.
I loved the sound of your voice.
I long to hear your voice.
I wish I could talk to you again.
Come back to my life again.

My Little Notebook
You're the gatekeeper
Of all that's in my heart.
I kiss every part
Of you with my hopes and dreams.
You hold my secrets securely.
You'll never tell.
You're my best friend it seems.
Of all that's in my heart.
I kiss every part
Of you with my hopes and dreams.
You hold my secrets securely.
You'll never tell.
You're my best friend it seems.

Deja Vu'
I don't know who you are,
But I've felt the softness of your touch;
The brush of your lips against my cheek;
The warmth of your body next to mine.
My heart aches.
I've lost a love that was never found.
It's a strange, familiar moment in time.
Deja vu'.

I Forgive You
Looking back
I wonder why
The light changed in your eyes.
The father I loved
Plotting my demise
With his lustful heart;
His roaming hands.
Discovering forbidden land
As he snatched the unripened fruit;
Devouring it again and again.
Year after year.
It became the norm
To live in fear
And secrecy.
Who could ever believe me?
I thought no one would.
For a time I hated you.
I hated myself.
There was nothing left.
I was lost,
But God showed me the way.
Kept me from going astray.
All...
I wonder why
The light changed in your eyes.
The father I loved
Plotting my demise
With his lustful heart;
His roaming hands.
Discovering forbidden land
As he snatched the unripened fruit;
Devouring it again and again.
Year after year.
It became the norm
To live in fear
And secrecy.
Who could ever believe me?
I thought no one would.
For a time I hated you.
I hated myself.
There was nothing left.
I was lost,
But God showed me the way.
Kept me from going astray.
