I let all those things go
That angrily torment
My pierced naked
Flesh
All those expectations
That rob my fleeting
Peace
All the jealousies
That turn my blood
Green
All the fantasies
That will never be
Fulfilled
All the nightmares that
Haunt my waking
Days
I let them go
And watch them
Sink
Into the depths
Of a brooding mystical
Sea
Your smokey eyes are a balm
Your accent weakens my resolve
My heart is beating
My pulse is racing
I am alive
I’ve got nothing to say to you really
I wish I had something to say
But I got nothin’
Just a plain old blank
So there I was, coffee in hand, when the elevator rang, I ran, already waiting, you held the door, we travelled to our floor, empty space separating us, confined space connecting us, you smiled, gracing me with your shouldering eyes, I smiled.
A chance encounter.
You glanced my way
My pulse quickened
I glanced your way
Our eyes met
Falling into your arms
I fall into heaven
A state of sensual bliss
Your arms enfold me
Enraptured by your kiss
I melt into you
Little by little
I’m scooping up my power
That was spilt like milk
All over a dusty ground
I’m scooping up enough
To sustain these long, hard days
And the little I have recovered
Is enough
It is enough
Enough to feed
Until I can smile
Until I am strong
Again
Help me, Lord, today
For the strength I need
For the grace to say
Not my will
But thine
Be done
My weakness has no strength
An open door into the very
Heart of me
I would be destroyed
But through grace
I fall at thy throne
For only at thy feet
Can I find a power
A power to save
A power to heal
A power to grow
To live
To love –
Power through
Prayer
Hearts are made for breaking
Hearts are made for pain
Hearts are made for healing
And hearts are made for gain
Hearts are made for loving
Hearts are made to share
Hearts are made for living
And hearts are made to care
My heart was made for breathing
Right through all my pain
And my heart still is beating
Rainbows through my rain
