Soon he will come

When I am vulnerable as a child
My heart melted into something so mild
Like the stars transformations of life from the mist
Allowing the growth of my heart from strife or lost
Like Jesus blessing my souls cherished love
With his greatest memory...

Implanted

When your mind
has roots in poverty
all riches bend and wilt

The fleeting gold
the moment holds
— no more than fading gilt

Lost Between

The backside
of tomorrow
The frontside
of today
Every look
retelling
Of what the past
betrays

Caught within
the doldrums
All time fades
in the mist
Until that day
that ends itself
And nothing more
— exists

(Dreamsleep: June,...

The old farmhouse on the hill.

Strolling through the green fields, I spotted an ancient farmhouse. Intrigued, I ventured inside, running my hands along the worn walls and creaky floorboards. Peering out the window, I witnessed a storm brewing in the sky. Despite the impending...

As your Generation leave something good behind.

Deep in and through the valley just as the plants start to grow there is a spiritual element I'm sensing from souls of many days of the past. Deep into their desire to live in...

Wanderers call

Entering a town without knowing a soul, can always go hit or go miss.
So God led me here, right to this group, familiar as a long forgotten kiss.

Opening your doors to let me be a part, showing me the love that you spread.
Seeing all these...

The rose grows old.

The rose I have given to you is old and wilted. The bed of crimson and joy you lie in conceals dark secrets that threaten to ruin your love. You must avoid the bed and slam the door shut, then you won't have to look up. Let the fireflies light the...

Ain't Strong Enough

Life seems to be gripping on a slippery rope,
with just fingertips I pray and hope,
that my last breath doesn't happen if I fall,
so I roar loudly to anyone who can hear my call,
because I am not ready to go, and neither is my soul,
for...

Cherishable

You might be something different to them,
but to me, you are a rare, flawless gem,
just talking to you quinces my heart's hunger, thirst,
these words I speak are real, they aren't rehearsed.

I'll make you smile when you have a bad day,
...
