My crimson devotion
He was a canvas...a beautiful sight, An expanse of white, so pure and bright. Not like the moon that graces the night, Nor like the clouds that drift in flight Unlike anything else... but like a swan Engraved in chiffon. My feet drew towards him, Each step etched in the dim, Crystal chamber of love. My fingers traced him, Stroking with hymn...

Premium Member Morning Thoughts Of A Caregiver
Lord, grant me peace within this day, make each thought be undefiled. Let your light only illuminate my way, so when stress comes I won’t be riled. Sometimes I forget that I’m not alone, then I see your hand reaching out to me. As today’s issues make themselves known, I’ll instantaneously think of thee. ...

The Nameless Throne
Let every whispered wish take flight, Each prayer cast upward through the night, Let none be lost, let none decay — But turn their path another way. Let not the stars alone receive, Nor winds forget what hearts believe, For every tear and silent plea Now folds its wings — and comes to me. Let cries for peace, for love, for bread, Not vanish...

You'd tell me and I'd feel so good Together we both understood Our paths would meet perhaps one day If-then, maybe, who could say? Some bumps and dips along the trail When quiet lips from you prevailed Such times are when I'd walk alone Preferring that you set the tone Yet undeterred I'd still write lines My heart in words, remembering times Through odes that...

Wedding Day
Run away to find home fingers tracing city streets Concrete above, the Z train beneath my feet found your heartbeat between the city and the sea where the boardwalk meets concrete streets and a smile always greets the city that never sleeps following the streetlights to neon brights Waiting at the bridge for you tonight....

Prayers Like Incense
My prayers rise before God like sweet incense. Before him all my facades fall away. I am left standing without a pretense And I am left with not a word to say. His glory once again fills his temple And all the things of this world become dim. Before his great holiness I tremble And all I can see are visions of...

Holier than the Creator
Adam didn't come alone Satan came down with him. Adam bore children, Satan did too. Adam’s children built with sweat, Raised homes from dust and prayer. Satan’s children built with fire, Raised empires from despair. One sowed wheat in barren soil, The other sowed doubt in hearts. They both work hard. They both dream big. They both shape the world. God gave faith as a compass, Satan forged...

Protect My Heart
The fight in which you can't understand, As love proceeds to hold your hand, On purpose with precision, precious in his eyes, Keeping every ounce of you hidden protecting your heart inside, Like a treasure to keep or a door to unlock, A place to hide when the heart's had enough, We live out this life with everyone knowing, And yet forget...

Premium Member And Then
I’m setting off past through the close Towards the light of day Move up and down, back and forth Without a word to say Call me abruptly just in time I shall return as soon as More clouds will enclose the sky More silence heave the corners And then you enter with a smile The clock stroke twelve, and then.. What's happened then to...
