Fallen In Love With You

I've fallen in love with you
Though your voice I've not heard
Nor your face have I seen
In love with you I am, it's true

I'm wishing I could tell you
Reading your words
I feel your presence in my heart
You're the one I belong to

I've fallen in love with you
I long to hear your voice
To see your true face
To tell you
I'm in love with you, it's true

Temper

Ranting and raving
The little girl stomps
Pigtails a shaking
Her face turning red

She'll get her way this time
Spouting her 'tude sublime
They don't know what they are
Talking about thus far

She knows what is best for her
She won't take no for a word

Heart's Frontiers

You know the tears I cry
And those fears that try
Through the years to pry
All the cheers from my
Heart's frontiers


While try those fears
To pry through the years
All the cheers from my
Heart's frontiers

Friend and ally
Yet sneers run high
As I glide by
And anguish fills my
Heart's frontiers


For try those fears
Through all those years
To pry my cheers-
Heart's frontiers

Ice Flower

Crystal blue and clear
Sheltered from all near
May she shatter
Or may she melt
All but none be felt

Shatter to fragments
Product of the elements
Constrained of life
Evanesce the day
Of life's assay

Melting ice cocoon
Danger gone soon
Arise from trial
Life once more
Beauty it pours

A beautiful flower
From the ice shower
Strong as steel
With delicacy
So soft she be

Not Alone, But Together

Can't you hear me crying out?
I want to help you, I shout!
If you reach out and take my hand,
I will hold you tight and help you stand.
Refuse me once or refuse me twice,
My hand will reach again more than thrice.
I feel your deep pain and shame,
All the fears you try to tame.
They won't leave you alone or go away,
But deep within you they stay.
Only if you let me, can I help you.
If you reach out, then maybe,
Just maybe I may stand too.
Alone we are nothing but broken,
But together we can stand unshaken.

Fears of the Night

This mess I've created:
It cuts through my mind
Like a knife serrated.
Emptied of feeling right,
Now all the terrors
Consume fully the night.
Freedom may never come,
Wrapped in the bondage
Of wanting to be numb.
Darting flashes of fear
Keep me from holding
Anything close or dear.
Don't hold me too tight.
Before you know it,
I'll disappear from sight.
Trying so hard to please:
Is it the answer
To put my pains at ease?

Too Late

Nothing to hide now,
Everyone knows the
Truth about my wrong.
I thought I could keep
People in the dark.
Now it is too late.

How did they find out?
Never will I know.
I will be gone soon.
All the dreams they had
For my life can't be.
Now it is too late.

The time is almost near.
I want them to know:
It's not their fault.
They may think they can
Stop me, however,
Now it is too late.

I'm sorry to those
Who think they cared.
Hid it very well
Maybe tomorrow
They will talk to me.
Now it is too late.

Friends

That is not what friends are for
Taking my heart and showing me the door
Can't you see you're hurting me?
Leaving me with extreme vulnerability
You say you're going to die
That saving you isn't worth the try
Can't you see how much I care for you?
But tearing me apart is all you ever do
Every time I think you've changed
I find you're even more derranged
I offer you a hand but you take my heart
Piece by piece to reduce me another part
When will I ever learn?
Helping you is just a burn

Hiding in the Dark

One hundred tears cried
Uncountable prayers prayed
So many sleepless nights
And yet you're still afraid
What lurks in the darkness
What hides in the corners
Underneath the shadows
And behind the counters
But will you never learn
The only one escape?
Stuck in the twilight zone
Your life is a looped tape
Everything you run from
Is a part of darkness
Wrapping yourself in it
Captivates the conscious
Intoxicate with fear
Thriving on every cringe
Fingers in the flame
Until you feel the singe

The Prayer

Father God
I pray to you
with all my heart
on this very night
calm the fear
ease the pain
show me the freedom
I long to obtain
draw me near
hold me tight
well up within me
the strength to fight
show me light
be my guide
I know you'll be there
right by my side
Father God
I love You
help me remember always be true.

Comfort and Restoration

Dear God, my Father
Please come down to me tonight
wrap your arms around me
and hold me ever so tight
Breathe into me new life
Grant me the deep comfort
to save me from my strife
Your humble servant is crying out
Strip from me this fear
and replace faith for my doubt
I've felt Your love before
Extend Your grace and mercy
And restore my soul once more

To Be The Person God Wants Me To Be

To be the person God wants me to be
A light so bright for the whole world to see
Not my plans but the Lord's deep within me
This is my heart's picture of true beauty

Scared to break out of my shell to flower
The evils around me seem to tower
My spirit just wants to curl and cower
But I pray, Oh God, Give me power

Power to stand firm on the stormy sea
To walk the road and not hide in a tree
Power to spread the Good News faithfully
To be the person You want me to be

Fallen Dreams

Fallen in love with a man
A man that does not exist
Lofty dreams of the make believe
Loving a feeling to which I cleave
Entertaining false hopes it seems
Never to meet the man of my dreams

Doomed from the start this love
Rigged with pedestals of expectations
Endulging loneliness with fantasy
A man created merely to fulfill me
Men don't really exist like my dream
So I've fallen for a fantasy it seems. . .

A Man Created Just For Me

A man created just for me
A fairy tale romance this must be
For in a near or far away day
My prince I have prayed for
May show up not so far away

A great man of God he will be
A Christian character the world will see
Our love for God will bind us
Through mountains and valleys
The light of our love will be Jesus

Dear Prince I pray for you tonight
May Jesus always be your Light
Whether or not I know you today
This mystery has formed within me
An indestructible love that will always stay

God, Please

God, Please grant me wisdom,
Wisdom to trust only in You.
God, Please grant me trust,
Trust for You to see me through,
God, Please grant me faith,
Faith that can be set free.
God, Please grant me grace,
Grace for the things only You can see.
God, Please grant me patience,
Patience to follow Your will.
God, Please grant me joy,
Joy through the lessons You instill.
God, Please grant me selflessness,
Selflessness so very true,
That I may only ask for You.

Magic Crystals

Fall, flitter, and fly
Diamonds and crystals
From the deep blue sky
Magic pedestals
Of crystalline clear
Silver, bluish white
Enchantingly dear
The glitter in flight
A frozen moment
In the time of sight
Endless refreshment
Gaze toward the heaven
Catching a crystal
May magic open
And fall, flitter, fly. . .

Demands

Many a thing
No one knows.
They follow her
Where e're she goes.
Grief and regret,
Along with pain;
They torment her
Once and again.
Never hesitating
Does all they wish
Eating all the acid
They faithfully dish.
They burn right through her
From inside to out
Never telling her
What it's all about.

Why are you doing
This to me she cries?
The hot salty tears
Pouring from her eyes.
She says she'll never
Do it again
The next time she'll try
Counting to ten
But instead she runs
And slams the black door
Cowardly complying with
Their demands once more.

What they ask
For her to do
I'm not ready to
Share with you
She asked for me
To relay her story
But to be concise
And omit the gory
She wants for me
To let you know
That who e'er you are
And where e'er you go
You don't have to be
Weak like her
You can be strong
And go much further.
