hold your heaven to my heart
i sit and wait to taste rain of bittersweetness as suredly as dawn rises so will illumination and carelessness be life and blinding death my heart please take one more day to know that hope ceases not by time nor mythical love and loneliness shall convince this truth not how i yearn for touch and feel
of beauty in your eyes whispering melodies and divinely dancing making my soul unfold and rewind to simple joy where monsters vanish and light and dreams break my shadows fallen out of fear that rejection awaits the peasant who dons knightship
to slay barriers to
holding your heaven to my heart.

Fish out of Water
I feel like I'm gasping for breath
For the life to fill me like I'm meant to be
I feel like I'll die if this goes on
I flop around desperate for what I'm seeking
I'm longing to be submersed in God's Love again
I'm designed for the depths of Him
I'm designed for the depths of his Love
I'm not designed for living like this
I need it to survive dying slowly and quickly
I can't live like this on my own....
Thriving and diving deeper into the God who loves
The God who is and always was and always will be
Everything I ever want or need my future my past
Everything is wrapped up in who He is...
He knows me begining to end and yet he loves me still
He desires for me to be in him
He desires this....
Its what I can't live without it
I need it... deeply....
Love and Hope and Peace who He IS
Its what we need...
do you gasp for breath
do you gasp for life....
You trying so hard just to surive
are you barely suriving....
then let God submerse you in HIm
the let God submerse you in His Love..

-{Meditations on Song of Solomon}-
On that day the King took me into His chambers
making me His own sealed with sacred blood
those who knew me didn't approve
society couldn't understand or perceive
requiring tribute to still be paid
making me yet again keeper of their vineyards
while my own inheritance went neglected
so I inquired where my Master's flock fed
why should my love remain veiled
my new faith buried within the old ways.
But now am I a new creature in His sight
my eyes are as those of Dove's
a lilly of the valley among brambles
so am i compared to the simple minded
like a tree full of shining red apples
so is my Beloved apart from others
longing to hold my head in His hand
while embracing my very soul
soon He'll return bounding over hills and mountains
seeking His chosen ones saying,
'Arise my love and come away,
'for winter is past over,
'the dove's voice is heard in our land,
'the fig trees sprout leaves,
'new flowers blossom,'
I will then be like the lillies in the pasture
where my Beloved's flock is fed.
At night as I slept dreaming
I heard the beloved knocking standing at the door
saying,'Open to me my love,
'my head is wet with morning dew,'
He reached His hand through an opening
I then went to open but He was gone
my hands dripped with myrrh from the handles
calling out to Him with no answer back
arising I went seeking him
on every corner along the bi-ways
in all church houses and sitting parlours
no where could His presence be found
the watchmen of the city found me
wounding me with false accusations
taking my veil exposing past tresspasses
again counted unworthy of such high calling.
But how beautiful my feet are to Him
like those standing on the mountains
bringing tidings of great joy and salvation
so let us go now out into the fields
through the villages along the highways
to see whether the harvest if ready
seeking all those who have yet to find my Beloved.
If one tried to buy such a love
with all the world's wealth
it would be utterly despised
this is the love that overcame the world
and in the end will conquer all enemies
but for now one thing is required above all
to love God and neighbor without ceasing
making confession and intercessions daily
He so longs to hear your voice
while speaking face to face
as through a dark stained glass
even so make haste and come my Lord.

Living for the BEMA
The second judgement
my all for HIM
so when that day comes
I can give Him my crown
That I can hear the words
Well done my good and faithful servant
Thank you my daughter
My hope is on that day I will hear those words
Uttered from my savior's lips
That I will be pleasing in His sight
That even though I've done many wrong things
I will be glad for the things I've done good
That my life glorified Him....
That through me God reached lives and people came to know Jesus
I hope you live to see that day....
Our lives may intersect so many times for so many people
What will it be good or bad...
Will your life be effective for Christ???
What will he say when you see the life you thought you knew flashing before eyes
In that not so instant replay
where see anew what you could have done or said
but see where you excelled or failed
what will it be a crown to give HIm or nothing at all
I want to live my all for HIM
I hope everyone here does too
think about it but not too long.....
You never know what a difference one day will make...

princess hearts
this tongue biting has gained not my kingdom
nor my darling salvation smiling outwardly but
and inner fleetingly loneliness consumes me
in vague hope of your heaven touch
why do all the princesses wear bands on their hearts?

(This one is about a girl I saw drinking coffee with a friend. That's all. Nevermind the "love, darling, sweetness" talk. It's just poetic flair.)
heartsong
fair love in the red throne sharing her soul
over sweet fragrance
look forward darling and know monsters
of past shadows have no grasp
of blissful heartsong
your heaven is found in your smile
,sweetness

How do I know?
Where do I go? Who am I supposed to be?
These questions they plague my mind night and day
People ask me and I’m not sure what to say
Hey what do you want to be? What going to do?
I can’t answer them because I don’t know so I look the other way
Lord could you show me
where do I go? What do I do?
I’m so confused….
Do I just follow my heart and just write it out
Couldn’t you show me what its about
I need your help… Lord
I’m lost and clueless
Stuck at the cross roads
Not sure what to do only God knows
Truly Lord can you help me
I need to know
I want to do your will ….
I am so afraid to mess up and not go the way you want me
Lord help me know what to do where to go
Please Lord help me know what’s right
Give me guidance and help me to hear voice so clearly
Lord I tired of not knowing….
Please Lord hear me
Show me what to do where to go
Let me know for sure its you….
I need this my Lord an savior
Just help me Lord what do I do

There is always a risk in expressing yourself or opening yourself up. Life is risk. Dare to live and express what is inside of you. If your desire is to write than write. Be confident in who you are and in God. Live Free from the fear of man...

In the Valley
I am in the Valley of Decision…
Where the giants, and opposing forces abound.
What I once thought of as severe testings and trials
Seem but pebbles against these current mounds!
I must decide if Christ is capable…
And by faith extend my powerless hand
If I am to rise to the place of victory…
In this Goliath-laden land.
No one to help…no one to defend…
No one to save…except the Risen One
Whose Spirit woos saying, “Choose death by their hands…
Or crucifixion with the Son.”
I am in the Valley of Struggle…
Where the giant’s voices bellow boisterously within
The seeming comfortless region of this tabernacle,
Born into Adam’s egregious, lumbering sin.
I must strive to persevere within the chamber
That is designated for battling prayer
If I am to learn to be still before Almighty God…
And realize His tender, loving care.
Someone to help…someone to defend…
Someone to save…the dear Holy Ghost!
Only in Him is life…and strength, and great power
Against all enemy hosts.

I am not needed here the thought passed in my mind
I don't really sing not with a microphone lilke almost everyone else
I dance... well sort of...
I play the flute... well sort of... no one really hears me.. at least I think
Those thoughts got in my mind anger rose up in me
Mixed lava boiling over... I wasn't sure what to think....
I couldn't say anything... at least not really...
I sat there... mad, confused, sad, jealous ....
the poisonous thoughts that I couldn't do anything about
I felt bad I had thought them... because there had to be some reason
I worship God, at least ... I used to... not like I remember it
so am I really supposed to be here....
I remember these thoughts as I sat in service this morning
the sermon about how... we're all needed...
we're important... all of us... even me...
though it was hard to take at first
what encouraged me most was not long before
was hearing the prayers of two friends
asking God to encourage me in all that I've been doing
in dealing with my friends and being on stage during worship
i know not if i've fully grasped this truth...
specially since at times this lie has come to slap me in the face
its acidic residue leaving a hole...
to know this that he knows me and I am needed...
sigh of relief escapes my lips a tear trembles in my eye
if only .... if only i could really believe it
help me to... someday I'll know what impact I've made
how ever small or little it is... the fact that is through God makes it glorious in its own...

Hi I am not here to critize and if you want to critic my work it's all right. I am just here to share my poetry with everyone. 
 I am just a stranger here this place is not my home, I'm passing through this space in time on the road that leads to home.
I am just a stranger here this place is not my home, I do not belong, I do not fit and there is comfort in this.
The world I am in is not like the world I see, so much war, hatred and malice of heart. In the place I'm going you see, everyone gets a brand new heart, an even break and even a brand new start.
In my minds eye, I travel through this world not letting it bog me down for I am just a stranger here, this place is not my home, I'm passing through this space in time on the road that leads to home.
For all this world, in all it's pain, and all it's crying hearts, all everyone really wants is a new beginning and a new fresh start. So put this world behind you and refuse to bend or straddle the fence, remember yesterday is over we'll never see it again, no more coulda', shoulda's and what might have been, scrape it off your feet, find that child within, laugh at the troubles of yesterday and you will find...
that you are just a stranger here and this is not your home, just passing through this space in time on the road that really leads you home.

I see the tears that fall
on to the pillow
the pain you try to hide
things just aren't the way
not the way you hoped for this life
I am here to hold you
I am right here beside you
How I long to comfort you my dear one
Dear child how I love you
Dear one you're beautiful
the times you think you aren't
Its the times that you are
You are amazing you are lovely
I have so much for you beyond your dreams
Don't listen to the lies
they whisper in your ear the poison
it drips and grips choking the life
don't forget what I say....
How I love you How awesome you are
You're valuable to me... my precious one
My sweet dear child....
if you don't think you special
if you're caught up in the lies...
If you cut or you throw up...
If you stuck in something
Here I am to remind you
You're heavenly father
He loves you
Talk to Him He's waiting
Ready to take you in His open arms

on writing
the ideal time to write
is the worst time to live
when existing becomes death
the pen becomes life
and when hate engulfs all i know
i can fall in love again again (and again)
in my world of make believe
where the peasant [nor the knight]
slays demons to win
the heart of a princess -

(I wrote this because of something I experienced)
It seemed too good to be true,
everywhere I looked they all seemed to care.
I knew the Leaders really wanted to help me,
but I was still resistant, afraid I would be hurt again.
I found my circle, the ones they say you need,
I finally felt safe enough to learn how to be my true self again,
It was so amazing, like a cool summer's breeze in your face.
But then something changed, they started to stare,
laugh behind my back, whisper when I was around,
all of a sudden it seemed like they didn't care.
What has happened to my friends?
Where are the ones that are sapposed to help you when your down,
And share in your joys? Everyone has left me, everyone is gone...
Of'course I still have the few that say they are there for me,
And then when I see them out they just poke fun.
What happens when you find a place and apply yourself,
but then lose heart because the people within?
Is there really a such thing as friends? Do they really exist?
Will I ever find my inner circle, or will I be alone forever?
You may say, you have Jesus, and yes that is true,
but I thought he wanted me to have friends,
Or was that a lie too????

awesome poem... I understand I've been in similar situations before. If you scroll through some of my other posts you'll see the times that loneliness seemed to haunt me. I know its not much but I'll be your friend. :)

Decided to make something up on the spot. It's been too long since I've written last.
Reengage
Shaky legs
unsure, disused
step out in faith again
Pupils shrink
in brightest light
we see the sun again
Voices raise
in telling truth
We're praising Him again
Hands clasped
on bended knee
We're list'ning once again
Guilt flee
and pain dissolve
We're finding grace again.

cool poem :)
I lay this heavy burden
I drop it at your feet
The one I'm too weak to carry
Not for another step
I am weak from lugging it
Its worn me down
but as I lay it at your feet
I find that refreshing sweet
I am light again
able to rejoice in gladness
I am free again
from the heavy chain
It held me back
tied me down and worn me out
but free from it I can't help but shout
How Great is my God
He lives forever more
He welcomes us with open arms
He beckons those with burdens
to come and lay them down

Despondency
Inspired by Psalm 88, Jer 17:9, and those whom I serve
At times when I feel I am all alone
And when I pray I am on my own
The darkness seems closer than a good friend
And pain and suffering never end.
Remind me what I should be joyful for
When the pain I’ve felt seems to be more and more.
When escape and sleep seems to be all I crave,
And when I feel like I am near the grave.
Though my mother and father have forsaken me
They have left me in despondency.
I guess I deserve to be left alone
Abandoned by all ‘cause You left Your throne.
The heart is deceptive and beyond all cure.
As I follow what I feel the more pain I endure.
Should I rise or should I stay where I am?
Or should I do what I must and be a good little lamb?
Have You forgotten me and turned away?
Have You lost Your love (for me) with each passing day?
What have I done to deserve all of this,
That others should get heaven while I’m in the abyss?
Though in my thoughts I again digress
And I know that I must duly confess
That deep within me, at least in part
I hope with my head, though not with my heart
That somehow, someway, these thoughts will cease
And my Savior, My God, will give me Peace.

"Exam Week"
crazy ride of emotional highs and lows
stress, and exhaustion
wanting it to just be over and done
there's the test ahead which you must pass
you pray you make it through....
wonder if all those long hours really did anything at all
wonder if you did the right thing when you did this and not that
so it goes on....
once the last mark is made and the test is from your hand
you can do nothing but wait
pins and needles to see what is your fate
will it be good or bad pass or fail
once you see it
your heart leaps... with joy or sorrow...
which will it be some mixed emotion
for some and for others....
now fun times roll
hot days and hard days
no more school at least till next year
when it begins all over again
