every moment I shared with you is etched into my memory and soul, piercing my heart for I know that somewhere in this world you are still alive but not with me.

Souls
Somewhere in this world there is a soul connected to mine, surrounded by those that left a long time ago, wrapped in memories, and faces of those haunting my dreams, reminding me of their voice and presence, comforting me when I am most alone.
Long Days
Days stretch long like an
Ocean spanning into the
Distant horizon
The Moment
I wanted you
I took what I wanted
Until my flesh
In the moment
Was satisfied
Not realizing
All the moments after
My heart would turn against me
Illicit
Was it all the more sweeter
Because it was stolen
Did it make our hearts race faster
Because it was forbidden
Did it illuminate the moment
Only because it was illicit?
Failed
I had a thorn in my flesh
Testing me
Over time
I was defeated
The pain reminds me
Every day
The scar might fade
But might never be erased
Fairy Lights
Our words are our signature –
How delicately they are strung
Like chains across a room
Either binding to take captive
Or as fairy lights strung joyfully
Each story carrying the mark
Of its maker hiding nothing
Captured Emotions
As I felt them
So I wrote them –
Those brief
So fleeting
Feelings
Floating
Emoting
Flying
Within,
Around me.
Before they burst
I captured them.
I’m Missing You
I say the words I shouldn’t say
I do the things I shouldn’t do
But through it all, my feelings show
When I fall asleep and wake up blue
Your image fills my heart and mind
I wait to speak, to tell you so
Wish you were here, I’m missing you
Fallen
I made a vow
To serve my Lord
I made another –
A lifelong song
My steps, they falter
Along the way
But still, my heart
Cries out to Thee
My Father, Saviour
Lord of all
I kneel before Thee
Rescue me
