Best Devotionheart Poems
Speak in my dreams
Race against the time
I follow my inner freedom
I believe you have faith in me
A spirit so high on life within
To lose yourself within whispers
The sounds become the walls
Locked within the moments
I remember all that is in my mind
Some lifes live on
I may run faster than the wolves
As the long grass is under my feet
I will take no hate when my grave is deep
Truth of ones heart will cover thee
The kiss from my lover will warm my cold
Fear has no passing as the wind takes my hair
The locks that dance behind
I will run to the mountain top
To be the queen of your castle
I will marry the man of all lovers
He awaits at the edge of the stream
His purest heart is my tune
The words of his love is my sign
His fire is my divine souls being
He sets my passion free
Hello friend,
i see you there,
crying silently,
in despair,
crystal rivers,
liquid sorrow,
fears still linger,
til tomorrow,
when the past,
will slip away,
we will die,
by light of day,
the moon will call,
my spirit to wake,
the heart of beast,
is mine to break,
with gentle fingers,
cooling air,
heartless fire,
does not care,
what is love,
it all will burn,
because we,
will never learn,
the power of love,
and light inside,
under cover,
from fear we hide,
the lights are red,
my heart is blue,
and i know not,
what to do,
walking blind,
to waking dreams,
blocking out,
the silent screams,
when running wild,
is no more fun,
the children hide,
from the burning sun,
wishing hard,
for stars to fly,
we watch our dreams,
rain from the sky.

Initial separation attempts
Are now in the past
I’m curious to see
How long this thing will last
Confused by new thoughts
And if emotions prove true
Where would that lead us
And what would we do?
My heart and soul are shaking
You amaze me without trying
You seem to really understand
My heart’s intricate design
You spark a fire inside of me
You enlighten my life, my ways
You’re the artist playing my heart strings
Upon which my emotion lays
Once an unrequited queen
My attempts to remain strong
Are broken down by what seems to be
Hearts beating the same song
Not knowing where life could take us
We pause to ask ourselves why
Were we chosen to be more than friends
Or simply passers-by?
My heart still remembers the days of our youth
When searching for answers we stumbled on truth
We were meant for each other as night into day
And you swore to be true promising never to stray
We looked to the future so young and so bold
Thinking we knew how the years would unfold
We stood before God with stars in our eyes
Never thinking one day we’d say our goodbyes
I see you standing there handsome and young
Knowing our future had just begun
We lived our lives as though we were one
Sharing trouble and heartbreak with days in the sun
Today we said our last goodbyes
I whispered I love you as I closed your eyes
Our journey is over...I'm alone and bereft
The memory of you is all I have left
But my heart overflows...my heart fills with joy
Knowing our love even death can’t destroy

Meet me at midnight under the moonlight
I’ll always wait for you to come
For you and only you fill my heart with
Tender thoughts of devotion
I shine in the brilliant shadow of your love
When memories come to haunt my soul
I know you’ll always be my strength
Even though I hide my tears
Strange as it seems, you know my fears
You kiss my soul...
Bathing my heart with your warming love
Your passion lights the embers of my desire
For you...only you my love
I am drenched in the after glow of our love
It fills my senses...
Like the sweet smell of morning coffee
You my love...
Are the crème and sugar to my soul.
As I turn the many pages of our love
I float in magical bubbles that arouse my heart
Breathing in all the tiny moments
And secret words in the private world we share
Ecstasy paints its vivid hues
Into the deepest chambers of my mind
Enticing me to linger in the warmth of your caress...
Showering your lips with maple kisses
You are enclosed within my heart,
Carved flawlessly …
Forever my love
Forever more and more

Who caught your eye this time?
Whose quick remarks made you think twice?
Who made you smile more than usual?
Whose eyes are you smiling back at now?
Whose heart beat are you slowing down?
Whose thoughts are you invading?
Does she appreciate you?
Does she over-analyze your every glance?
Does she count the steps to your door?
Does she wake up thinking of you?
Do her fears of you being a distant memory exist?
Perfect conversation and little stares amount
Your steps become in sync, right left, right left
Your heart beats and her slows down
Beautiful has a different meaning to you
Her.
Hands clasped tight, nothing holding you two back
"Let's take on the world together, we'll win."
Everything becoming so sure, so permanent
Nothing will end this, nothing.
But those brown eyes aren't as inviting as you remember
That smile isn't shining that bright
Her clothes no longer have a faint scent of you
Her quick remarks are slowing down
That heart isn't beating like it used to
You start to slowly push her way
So she starts over-analyzing every little thing
Conversation is dead. Stares are gone
Who caught your eye this time?
Whose quick remarks made you think twice?
Who made you smile more than usual?
Who did your burn this time?
Form:
What kind of feeling would I have
Without you around to hold
Bliss, sweet bliss would slip away
And oh how my heart would grow old
And without you my poor heart would break
And my soul, would turn so cold.
I would shiver with fear of the unknown
And hide in a corner of dark
A deep dark corner where feelings die
And float slowly down to the ground
But those beautiful memories that would not die
Will drift so slowly afar
Your lovely memories will travel
Catching a ride on the westerly winds
And find you, with your beauty bright
And find you where ever you are

God in his divine divinity
I saw in my dream’s reality
My heart filled with submission
No thoughts entered this finality
My wandering heart found a well
Where my immense thirst could dwell
The place of holy suspension
No time for pride to swell
My darkest and deepest fear
Which I held to myself as dear
With expanding dimensions
Saw godliness getting near
The still point on the wheel of time
About which poets wrote in rhyme
I now accept with absolution
Getting ready for my climb
Isn't it just like a woman
To want someone to hold her tight
To comfort her when the bad dreams arive
In the cold and the darkness of night
The sweet loving smile of a woman
Can make your poor heart skip a beat
Makes a man find the right things to say
And lay petals of roses at her feet
Now isn't it just like a woman
To wonder of stars up above
And take in the beauty of nature
Then turn it all into true love
Now isn't it just like a woman
With a soul that is tender indeed
She can comfort the hurt
And the pain in your heart
Yes isn't that just like a woman

my heart, but not for you;
In a heart, in vain.
Does a heart ever fade,
No my heart only remains,
In a chest in very big steps,
for a moment and now listen
heart,
what is it that makes it an attraction,
my heart, but not for you,
in a heart, in vain.
Form:
It starts with fragments of pain
Like tiny pins being pushed into the heart
The heart thinking he could take the pains; ignored
But this pain is like no other, so he cried
Crying out to the whole body to take it away
The body tries but the pins are like colony of ants
Tiny but lethal and infectious in unity
The heart skipped and is out manoeuvred by pain
Jerking in rebellion with all its strength
Too late! Pain has invited guilt, with guilt- regrets
Now a trio, their strength is stronger than body
The heart defeated, betrayed and battered, beats in his fastest succession
And eye tears for the chaos and confusion of the body
All hail sorrow, the conqueror of man.
Form:
Onto the parchment of my pain I write
Journal you are my only release
where the story of my ache can be told
Once I held the riches of her heart in my hands
The very substance that placed love upon the throne of my kingdom
Fate had her hand to play
For her rules be dictated by none
Dealt to the many
Her avarice to satisfy
Unto the dungeon of your cold heart I was banished
To be a soul that doth crave her attention
Won't she heed my call?
Hearken unto the sounds of my cry
Mercy, I beg of you
Clinging in desperation of her touch
Worthy only of the paucity of her depth to love
My being laden with the burden of regret and need
Conflicts of my mind
A war of the heart and soul
Hungering for a taste of her lips
My gluttony only to be satisfied with the scraps of love thrown from her table
Once I was her King
I remain ever faithful now
Her loving pauper
The flower that most touches my heart is a rose
For Rosanna is my wife and that's where my heart goes..
She could be hard to hold and could cut to a glide..
But only I know the rose petals have a softer side..
When she awakes in the morning its like blooming in the spring..
They close so slightly only to bring better things..
Her scent so alluring as a rose does the same..
Her love so intoxicating, my love you can't tame..
So a rose is my flower that stays in my life..
And I'm so lucky to have Rosanna as my wife..

today as she looked at herself in the silver glass
she cried a heart shaped tear
she was amazed at the face she wore
and the heart shaped tear on her earned web
like a ladybug gets caught in a spider web
she got caught up in your spiderweb of untruths
as she cried the tears of her heart
she wished upon a silver star
that you would somehow be looking back
and she figured you probably are
she felt the tear upon her face
and wished you were there to stand face to face
to reflect upon how she could make amends
and see your untruths as your only truth
and in the silver glass she saw a woman still in love
lives exposed and fretted with passion
she hopes you find her
so she can find herself
she saw it all in the silver glass
with a star of silver
hearts lost to find one another
she the keeper of heart shaped tears

Rough, painful, daunting to the depths of my bare soul.
My heart aches for trouble waits at my doorstep.
Pursued and hunted, my life is ever at risk.
Many snares are set before me,
I know no mercy from man
The eyes of my heart are wide open
Searching for a way, through this midst of darkness;
And they only find the One and Only way:
The Way, the Truth and the Life.
Christ my Lord and Saviour.
Christ my Lord is my sanctuary of refuge
my rock of hope,
my wine of love,
my tower of strength
Christ is my LORD
in HIM i find Mercy,
More mercy in a day,
than all men have given me my whole life.
