How Much Do I Love You

How much do I love you?
As much as the ocean loves the sunset while gentle waves of passion slowly caress the rays of joy and hope.

How much do I love you?
As much as a new born child loves the warmth of a mother’s breast while nursing upon the life that gives peace and comfort.

How much do I love you?
As much as the earth loves the nurturing rain that pitter patters upon the parched grounds waiting to drink in Heaven’s love.

How much do I love you?
I love you too much to let you go…
And I love you so much more to let you fall into the hands of Jesus to care for you until we meet again.

How much do I love you?
I love you so much that it seeps from my eyes to dampen your face…
As time and pain separates us until again we embrace each other…

How much do I love you?
I love you so much that every tear I shed will be the salve on every crack of my broken heart and every memory we share will forever keep our hearts as one.

This is how much I love you, and so much more!

Delusions of Peace

Scream louder in the brain,
Work hard to deaden the pain...
The gnawing at the roots...
The scratching noises take me to the lost sanity that will never gain victory again,
Sanity? Victory? I scoff...
In the mirror upon the wall, up the stairs down the hall, 
Images past I see... fading, fading... slowly...
I see a man I never knew. Deep inside are cries of muffled sorrow.
The hurts of being lost with out direction,
Hope... again I scoff...
The darkness filtered from disgust and disbelief is no longer diluted with dust particles of light,
But the density is pure...
Pure darkness that not only reaches deep into the heart but engulfs the madness,
The madness that I call myself.
There has never been peace in this madness, 
Only delusions of happiness that seem to twist any reality into unrecognizable fate.
A direction that spirals with the darkness and has the funnelled power of a twister,
Bringing destruction in its path...
Yet, in the midst of the delusion a small spark of curiosity catches the eye,
And for a brief moment...
As in the eye of the storm...
