Thank you for the morning sun
Thank you for the stars and moon
Thank you for the peaceful hope
… the inspiration, the joy, the love
Thank you for the laughter and grace
Thank you for the winds of change
Thank you for the silence of the night
… the music of such glorious insight
Thank you for the miracle of life
Thank you for the wonder of sight
Thank you for the raindrop and dew
… the whisper of a kindness so true
Thank you for giving me Your SON
Thank you for delivering me from doubt
Thank you for stirring my heart to give
… the faith that reassures me YOU LIVE!
Thank you, God… for everything You are
For faith, hope and love – the mystery of grace
The abundance of peace that You spread in my path
… leading me on, through the darkness –
To your embrace – to your healing, your support
The victory that comes from believing in your SON!
It's been a few days now since I thought of you
But my recent poetry to you is still true
This one will be a bit of a different view
And maybe with a sassy attitude...
Chris you've always meant a lot to me
But I feel like you don't take what I say seriously
I'll try & break it down the best way it can be
I feel like you give me a lot of false hope
And that a lot of what I say you just ghost
You have a tendency to be inconsistent with me
And lately I'm looking for consistency
I would except consistency even as a friend -
Or if not a friend, I'd expect it with something entirely different with me
And you're leading me to believe that:
(a) You're just playing games & it ain't what it seems to be
(b) You don't want me - yet from him, too, you want me to be free
(c) You're deliberately leading me on, just to retreat us entirely
I'd like someday for OUR intentions to be clear
'Cause I won't move back if it's our last relationship in the mirror
This time around, I'd rather do BIG things with you & start anew
A clean easel for both me & you
I wanna put the work in this time to create something with you
I don't need games, alligator tears, or more wasted & pointless years
I'm tired of all the two-faced fakeness & I'm sick of the unknown fears
This time I'm approaching it a whole other way
'Cause if you decide this time around to give me a second chance
Just watch -
'Cause I'm gonna slay our second romance
To my girlfriend that hates me
In my next life I'll come back as a goldfish
I'll have these big bulging eyes and lips
lips that perpetually move
and seemingly ask why
why, why
gills that seemingly forever expand
mouth forever moving
always asking why
why, why
but wait a second
that's what I do in this life
why, why
somethings ... never change
but until then
my exit from here, to the next existence
graying sad man to happy little gold
then sad little gold
one needs to practice
you need to practice
for when that glorious day comes for you
I'm no longer around
you can rejoice in tantalizing my existence
as a gold fish in a aquarium, then
then, you do see
forever tapping the glass
giving me dirty looks
leading me on to the surface with food
and throwing air
you would like that
watch me race to the surface hungry
and then throw air, and laugh
I know you, I know you
You would roll on your stomach laughing to see me hurt
laughing, laughing hard
I know you
I know you
everyday you would be tantalizing me
irritating me, teasing me
even putting a betta inside the tank
you would like that
wouldn't you
seeing the betta chasing after me
as I run for my life
I know you
I know you
laughing, laughing hard
forever irritating me, teasing me
but wait
that's what you do in this life

1/8/17
I got out of bed
In the middle of the night
My time is not my own
I do the tasks
That are required of me
My own sleep I do disown.
From one task to another
I go from room to room
Making sure everything is alright
I’m doing my best
And often I get it wrong
But sometimes I get it right.
Full-time job
On top of that
The foundations are about to crack
I do my best
With what I have
No time to take a nap.
But at night
I take flight
And my mind visits distant lands
My heart breaks out
In artistic scraps
Which I write with my crippled hand.
I do not begrudge
My lot in life
It is what it is, I know
But my poems and muse
Keep my “feet” moving
Leading me on the path to home.
If you have a need to call me
I won’t read into it any more
Than the need to talk to someone
Who has been there once before
Don’t worry about imposing
If you have a text message you want to send
I want to be there to help you out
Any time you need a friend
If you have a need to hug me
I won’t read into it any more
Than the need to simply be held tight
When you feel like falling to the floor
Don’t worry about mixed messages
You’re afraid that it might send
I want to be there to help you out
Any time you need a friend
If you have a need to kiss me
I won’t read into it any more
Than the need to feel good inside
As verification that you’re adored
Don’t worry about teasing me
If the kiss is where you know it must end
I want to be there to help you out
Any time you need a friend
If you have a need to sleep with me
I won’t read into it any more
Than the need for a night of passion
When there’s no lover for you to score
Don’t worry about leading me on
And feeling like you now have to pretend
I want to be there to help you out
Any time you need a friend
But, if you want me to read much more
In these actions that you take
If you wonder why I don’t pick up on the clues
And worry that my friendship is just a fake
Simply tell me you want me to be
Much more than just your friend
And I’ll be glad to be much more for you
Never to wear these restraints again
2 seconds
a simple hug
such a short embrace
just a little bit of love
a 2 second hug
and a kiss on the cheek
a little something extra
to make her hug more sweet
a 3 second hug
and a kiss on the cheek
a hug and a kiss
for every time we meet
how wondrous is the magic
in the things that show love
the little things that count
like kisses and hugs
to wonder and not worry
with some form of repose
a hug and a kiss
could make one suppose
suppose she likes me
a little more than that
a kiss on the cheek
is not a pat on the back
it might be something special
or cruelty leading me on
it could be something casual
or something she does for fun
but what if i'm right
and all my second guessing wrong
then it wouldn't hurt to ask her
for more kisses and more hugs
Please don't kiss me like that.
I'm tired of insincere kisses.
Save it for a lover.
Now I know we’re only meant to be friends
Although I once hoped to mean more than that to you.
This isn’t about love,
This is about you leading me on and messing my mind.
Oh yes, I bear some of the blame.
I was just as willing to play
But now I need more.
Whatever I once felt when I kissed you is gone now,
Even though I don't know how I'll ever go on without it.
There are too many others you've
Kissed the same way,
Too many times I wanted you near
Too many things I wanted to share with you
When you weren't around.
So let's end it right now,
While we're still friends,
While I can still be grateful for good times we've had,
Before I really fall in love with you.
If I fall to my knees Lord, and call on your love
Your wings will surround and I’m a hand in your glove
Though the storm rages fierce, though who
I know turn away still your face is toward
Me it is brighter than day
I feel the rush of conviction, as your power
Rips through. My tongue is loosened,
My mind filled. Lord this is all just of you!
Through the shadows of this world Lord
I am allowed to discern, some of the road we
Must travel, Lord the rest I must learn
Leaning only on you Lord, following close
Behind, on the path you have trodden
There’s none other to find
On this path of no turning, I am hemmed not by you
But hedges of evil where I shouldn’t break through
Though they catch on my garment, though
They threaten my skin, I must hold to
Your promise, as I’m passing thorough sin
For your leading me on Lord, On the path
Narrow so.' Where only one can travel
Where you lead I will go.
It’s so straight and close Lord, here
We can be alone; I can tell you my doubts
Lord as you remove that hard stone
I would learn of such patience, I would learn of
Your toil, in the garden of earth Lord
Where you raised me from soil
Lead me on, on this straight road
On the road that you made, as you
Walked out from Pilate
To the cross and that grave
Then you entered into hell Lord and so
Many rejoiced; you brought life to
The hopeless and those dead raised
Their voice.
They called you their master, and the
Victor o’er all, Lord your strength
Never falters, in the Fathers at all
Now you sit at His right hand, right there at
His side, and the spirit is here; soon we will be
All one Lord ' when you take you your bride.!

"The Bravest Thing I Have Seen"
The bravest thing I have seen is that of
my mother's love.
It is a courageous thing and a love that's strong, that lets me sing.
It's a love that stands up tall and proud.
A love that never lets me down.
Her love is a brave endeavor that never wavers or wavers.
It's a love that knows no boundaries and never loses its soundness.
Her love is a courageous force that helps me find our course.
Her love is like a shield protecting me from the world's harsh yield.
It's a love that can withstand any storm and keep me safe from any harm.
My mother's love is like a beacon leading me on when I feel weak and shaken.
It's a love that never falters or fails and helps me through life's darkest trails.
Her love is like a fortress, a mountain, unbreakable and certain.
It's a love that can withstand any blow and keep me safe, no matter where I go.
Her love is like a guiding star, shining bright, no matter where I am.
It's a love that never dims or fades.
A love that helps me through life's trade.

It has been a long time since we have truly embraced. The last embrace we had was two years before our reconnecting. In the past, many people would say that we would be great together since we spoke so much and never fought during the first year and the last year. At least, that is what you stated to me. I can only be a friend as these years have reconnected and shown that I was not part of your life back then. The time lost between us cannot be made within weeks. Whatever love I had for you is no longer there. My responses to you have been more of a reaction to the event; however, they are not of my true free will. I wanted to believe we could be together until I realized you were not there to celebrate with me. You do not say anything to me outside of our everyday communication. You genuinely do not love me. If your claimed (in your mind) ex was not sent to the afterlife, then you would still be with them (only in your mind). After the events that have played out for both of us, I realized that I can only keep you in my past heart; however, you cannot be with me in this life as a partner and not in the afterlife as a partner. I will not be a rebound for anyone. Where were you 17 years ago? When I asked you out, you gave me a lame excuse as if you spoke about the event prior with your mother. Leading me on all those years ago assisted in wasting my time when I could have spent time with someone worthy of my love.
Scars run deep, and I cannot speak of the pain that they have caused. What I once felt for you, I no longer felt. The flame in my soul is burning bright as I have seen the deceitful kisses on my cheek from your lips. The wounds of my friends who do not kiss me are faithful. Each time a tear drops from my cheek, it evaporates, and the water will not extinguish the flame. My heart only weeps as I see that I was never necessary to you until your former mate was no longer here. Are you telling me the truth when I never saw you with a mate at your party two years prior? Each night, I spend my time in class after work and on my days off. I need a partner that will be here by my side. You have only given me space. People from the other side of the planet have given me more praise. Friends from different regions have encouraged me to do more. You have not been here by my side. With no regrets, I must decline your advances.
