Sometimes
As our tears fall like rain
Rainbows appear
Where we least expect them
Well, that’s what I’m hoping for
Anyway

Falling in Love
Age 22, looking over at my first true love
I fell in love when I was nineteen. It was crazy hectic. I used to listen to this song on the radio in the afternoons. While I was supposed to be studying. I instinctively knew not to chase him away. I let him come to me. It was the best time of my life. My life’s not over yet. Maybe I will get more best times.
Kindness
Love is the kindness
Extended when the strong hold
Hands of those in need
Escape
If all the doors are closed
And curtains drawn
If there is no light
And all is dark
There must be
A way out,
Surely?
Hidden
If only
My thoughts were kept
Inside my head
If only
My heart was held
Inside my breast
If only
My words were silent
Inside my mind
If only
My smile never faltered
From my face
If only
My eyes had sparkled
Never melting tears
If only
My hands held flowers
Behind my back
Perhaps then
Perhaps
I would be the one
Perhaps I would be
The one
Choosing Happiness
If happiness is a choice
Then through my life experience
Conflicts and strife
I will simply choose
Myself happy
Sentient
Separated from our Creator
Separated from our Lord
Living on this planet
Breathing in the earth
Pains will come
And hurts will too
But rise above
And lift your eyes
For heaven’s song
And trumpets’ sound
Will fill the air
And soon ring true
Please
When my heart is broken
And I am feeling sad
When change arrives
And farewells being cried
At times like these
I’ll close my eyes
And think on You
Your love will help me through
Stranglehold
Is my heart allowed to break
When I have everything I need
Is my heart allowed to cry
When my blessings overflow
Are the tears allowed to fall
When I have all that I desired
Can I feel the taste of regret
For choosing a path so narrow
That somewhere, somehow
The path would close in on me
Leaving me with a struggle
To breathe
Band-Aid My Heart
My heart is drowning
In oceans of its own tears
It grabs a quick breath
Before sinking below the
Surface of my sorrow
My longing
My pain
My loss
Band-aid my heart
My heart that is broken
Apart
