Racing
Racing
Racing
I cannot keep up
With the thoughts
Inside my head
I run for cover
I hide away
I turn my face
I search for calm
But still
Those thoughts
Race behind me
Never leave me
Never stray

Let There Be Love
I love in the beginning of Love, Actually, we are told about the arrivals hall of an airport, when you stop and look around, there is only love. People greeting, and people leaving, and through both of these, there is love. During the tragic events of 9/11 there were only calls of love.
This song takes me back to 1994, being twenty and in love. I went to my grandparents for a mid-year holiday, and kept on hearing it on the radio. When I arrived back home, my polish boyfriend told me he missed me so much, and he loved me(!). (Bless him)
Be still, my beating heart 😍
Love, love, love
Let there be love ❤️
Cravings
I want his arms around me
His lips against mine
His eyes upon me
I want him
Now
Life After
How do you be friends,
When you are no longer friends?
When you have lost yourself
In another’s eyes?
When you have lost your heart
To another’s charm?
When you have anticipated
Every fleeing moment?
And every kiss
Has kissed your very soul
How do you then,
Pray tell, only
Just be friends?
Addiction
Addiction has lured me in
Trapped me with seduction
Tempting me with honey
Mixed with vinegar
Anticipation beats my heart
For that exciting taste
Forget the bitter
I want the sweet
Hide
Hide your life from me
So I cannot know who you are
Or what you do
Hide your heart from me
So I cannot know who you love
Or what you feel
Hide yourself from me
So I cannot know who you are
Or what lies beneath
I can imagine
My best guess for sure
But I will never know.
Closer to Thee
Yesterday I took a moment, and read my posts of the past year.
A year of my life. A year of sharing. A year of growing and understanding.
Friendships made and lost.
Tears and dreams. Disappointments and temptations.
Still struggling for victory. Still struggling to overcome.
But I have been blessed. My family is safe. I have health. Sound mind. A home.
And I still have time and opportunity.
(Lead me, God, closer to Thee).
My Only Escape
Block him.
And keep him blocked.
No contact.
Love Me Like You Do
It doesn’t make sense
How you can love me like you do
And not even know my name
I cannot understand
How you can love me like you do
And turn around and walk away
I cannot explain
Why my arms remain open to you
Except for one lonely reason –
You love me like you do
Love Ties
Love ties you to me
Across oceans and plains
Time and places
I am bound to you
With cords stronger
Than I could ever escape
