A Stranger's PrayerSilly wisps of her raven hair flutter
In the winds of the long-short corridor of summer;
They snivel with the whims of cosseted sots,
Sinking in the futile harmony of winking beasts.
Pretty whiskers, soft with the ague of age, and lean
From frazzled grey.
A halo of white cotton crowns her fine dome, revealing little.
She paints the inky images of...

Let Me Yearn(summer 2024)
I want a love that is pure, beautiful and made for me.
I want them to be poetic to me in a way that I am smitten.
God, I yearn for my person to come toward me.
It hurts to wait and still feel stuck.
How do I keep moving forward when I have feelings like this...

The Things I Never BuriedI never buried certain names,
They lingered like a scent in air.
I whispered them through window panes
And found them waiting everywhere.
I never buried childhood roads—
The ones I walked with bleeding knees.
They live inside the softest odes
And bloom like ghosts among the trees.
I never buried what she said
The night the silence broke our bed.
Her voice still echoes...

Will You Let MePlace my head upon your shoulder
Wrap me in Your warm embrace
Chase away these premonitions
Grant me, Jesus, saving grace
Will you let me feel your presence?
Bring the peace of heaven near
I am fainting from my sorrows
Whisper to my heart, "You're dear!"
Will you cradle me so gently?
Sooth my tempset batterd soul
Hush those inner howling voices
Love me, heal...

Dear God,
You know, when I fear – when I hurt, when I’m in tears
You know the me I used to be, the me that you’ve changed entirely
You know the things I want to say, when the grief clears
You know, when I pray – all the words I just can’t say.
And, still – despite all the...

Not MineThe olive garden to prepare.
With Zebedee’s sons and Peter
He prayed for the cup to pass,
Your will be done
Not mine.
Take this cup from me?
Yet not my will, but yours be done.
Point of death, the hour is here.
Fast asleep under the trees.
Vision of Isaac being prepared,
On his knees to be spared.
Sorrow in...

Not entirely clay[Verse 1]
No place to go
if the door to your heart is closed,
When your love stays my subject,
even when I doze,
Yet you keep ignoring
the true love I propose.
You're already driving me nuts, everyone knows,
Though many loves abound,
to yours, none comes near close.
[Pre–Chorus]
Day by day, to have your love I pray,

What Breaks My Heart
I love you – even when the smile is shy
I love you, even when I can’t say why
I love you, when my tears just won’t dry
I love you, with a love I can’t deny
What breaks my heart completely, dear
Are the tears that sting with dark fear
The mourning that I so dread to hear
The feelings...
