Tiny Mind

It is in those moments
That space in time
When I truly open my eyes
That I see all the things
I think I know are just
Simply the surface

I know so little
And I am so small
The universe and time
Confound my little mind

In the end all I need to know
Is You love me
Inspite of my arrogance
My pride, stumbling, and
Unfounded belief
That I truly know it all

You who created all
You who knows all
Love me. Us. Your creation.

Hold on Heart

You have held my heart for years
Of that I have been unaware

I had an epiphany the other day
I want you in my world
But time and distance
Are fighting me, hard

Every day, I wish you were here
Every day, you are not

I try to keep in touch
But each attempt is thwarted
You say you are busy
But I am starting to see the truth

Every day, I wish you were here
Every day, you are not

Every night, you fill my mind
And sleep evades me
I go back to when I last saw you
When you held me close

Every day, I wish you were here
Every day, you are not

I am trying to move on
But the hold you have on my heart
Is vice-like, strong, years deep
Maybe one day, but not today

You have held my heart for years
Of this I am now aware

Now I hold a space for someone else
In the space where you used to be
You are now a distant memory
Someone who flashes across my screen

I have let go of you
You held my heart for years
And now I am aware of only the future

Wrapped Up

You had me all wrapped up in you
For those few moments I felt I mattered
Them time and space separated
And I realized I was just a distraction

Barren

There is a crack in the sky

where the universe is pouring in

filling up each crevice in the

barren wasteland

There is a crack in each heart

where love is leaking from

replacing the hate filling this

barren wasteland

There is a crack in her voice

where her fear is escaping

being replaced by courage to

take on this barren wasteland

Speechless

They told us

life is never that simple

we told them

only because you make it

so very hard

They told us

beauty could not be made

then we showed them

the words in our hearts

painting visions of grandeur

leaving them speechless

They told us

love is only conditional

we taught them

that love does not

have limitations

that they were the ones

selfishly hoarding their love

We taught them

and left them speechless

Someday, Maybe

You told me

“Someday, maybe”

I believed you

You told me

“You are beautiful, but...”

I believed you

You told me

“Forever is too long”

I believed you

You told me

“I found someone...”

I saw you for the first time

I told you

“So long my love”

I believed in me
