My heart is reaching for you
While my mind is putting up its roadblock
It may startle me, or it may not
If on my soul you did knock
Scared you are really mine
Just feels silly that I would deserve
Hard to wrap my head around
How you wrap around my every nerve
It's scary how one could feel your presence
Days before you even show
I see a stranger im in love with
While your eyes say…
all about me you already know
While I feel a longing for your touch
I am confused, I am terrified
What if you end up being just a live dream
And to my own existence I have lied
Doesn't seem real, you being here
Yet I know it's this way or nothing
I want it this strong or to just remain alone
Yet now I can feel our lives already blending
Did God cheat you out of how wonderful you could be
By placing you to be in love with a kalopsia like me?
I feel so cheap, then I feel so ataraxia about myself
It would be mild to say whats between us is a kilig
But for you I’ll stay…its so simple…i see no other way.
Thank you lord for giving me two-hundred-and-fifty loveless nights,
for rerunning dull experiences so I can revisit past delights.
Thank you for isolation, for removing all temptations.
For drawing out this punishment far beyond my expectations.
Reward our solemn and astringent lives by helping - if you please.
As you form galaxies from dust and your moon lifts lazy seas.
If you created life in your universe to give it all some meaning
- then look on us with charity please, we’re in need of love and healing.
If I was given a hand to hold long ago,
I would have had the strength to be myself,
Not allow others to tell me how I was always in the wrong,
Putting it in my head that I am always in the wrong,
Tell me I am never good enough,
And never will be.
I found a one true friend
But cannot keep her,
She stole my heart,
And she can keep it till my last breath
For she taught me how to breath without being hated for it.
Bringing the bad attitude
will earn you no tips
Giving service with a frown and pouty lips
Coming to the job
with personal problems vexing your mind
Flipping the bird to the kids ... cloudy is your sunshine
Mixing the orders all up
has the customers grumbling
Swishing your butt like a ****,
as you walk away mumbling
under your breath
Feeling like you're a victim,
whose not being compensated right
Being up on your feet working all day,
those table tips are just way too light
You deserve better you feel,
a much better lot in life than what you got
So you come my way with a negative vibe,
percolating frustration like a coffee pot
Your foul demeanor left my meal with a sour taste,
lost my appetite looking at your unhappy face
Now you expect a tip from me, undeservedly
No how, no ma'am ... no way
But you did make me leave with a big smile,
when I saw you drop that food tray
Then you having to clean up that mess
was karma served, which really made my day
I forgot to wear my sunday best
The one that stands all the tests
Like the physical and admiration survey
Like the emotional and spiritual detail
The human eye has to be kept entertained
It is almost like every move has to be an enterprise well trained
Be it a clown well crowned
Or an animal well groomed
These things are held at a higher pedestal
More so the tricks add to the missing decimal
My tattered thoughts haven't scored a goal
Its a helter skelter in there, always a brawl
Scrolling down on ways to handle, leads to a chaotic venture
Don't ask why or where, how do I even know how to censor
How do I even end, as I mend my unwritten one...
There is no room on my camera,
for moments undeserving of my remembrance.
The same can be said of my heart,
and the people undeserving of my love.
So undeserving of His grace,
Yet He died He took my place.
He shed His blood for me at Calvary.
He loved me more that I deserved,
He came to die, He came to serve.
Thank You Lord for all you've done for me.
So undeserving of His love,
He came down from above,
He came to save a lost soul like me.
He walked the road I should have trod,
He took my place though He was God,
Ho greater love could there ever be,
That the king of glory would come and die for me.
He was born in Bethlehem,
He came to save me just as I am,
Undeserving but He died anyway.
He loved me more than words could ever say,
He came to take my sins away,
Oh what love He had for me on that day.
By Charles E. Fitzgerald 05/04/00 Lakeland, Florida
The kindness you have shown me
Everything you have done
You never needed to do
The forgiveness you have given
I never deserved
I do not deserve a friend so great
You stuck around
When the others walked away
But I fear
That soon
You’ll walk away too
Because I don’t deserve you
I never have
And I never will
She is the most demanding cat who ever shared my home.
She stares at me so balefully till I do what she wants,
And yet I love her more than any other cat I’ve owned.
She tramples on my feelings as she tramples on my plants
Then stalks away with nothing more than a disdainful glance.
Some people say of pussies, that you can’t tell them apart …
I treat all mine as equals … but Pandora has my heart ...
On special days throughout the year
I feel most undeserving.
Of the love and favor sent my way
from the blessed God I'm serving.
[Birth]
At Christmas time I pause to think
Of Jesus' virgin birth.
he had no place to lay his head
while living on this earth.
[Death]
Then after some thirty years
at Calvary it was willed.
Upon a cross to hang and die
that prophecy be fulfilled.
[Resurrection]
They placed his body in a borrowed tomb
his final resting place to be.
But the grave could not hold him
He arose to set m en free.
[Hope]
The very fact that angels came
and rolled that stone away.
Gave mankind hope of eternal life
to reign with him someday.
