See Me Shine

Sweetness came upon a sullen soul
What she saw I'll never know 
I didn't care when first I acquired
Joyfully filling her every desire

Gone with the dawn she floats away
I awake to survive another day
Each time she left my heart did burn
When the time was right she would return

Knowing I'm the best in her mass confusion
All the rest are just her mind's illusion
She feels my love which forces flight
Her past to close it dims my light

Thelord has commanded for me to remain
To let her heart know there's more than pain
Answers come to me of questions I ask
Is the wisdom in her to uncover my task

When she comes back to dig in again
Faith will be tempted by her devil within
As her actions stab my heart like a dagger
The lord makes me stronger relieving the anger

The lord has shown me change in her
As the devil flees she will feel no more alure
Where she has gone is without any light
Now is my time to shine ever so bright

Life and Love

What is life without love
A night sky without a moon
Could also be unlit candles
In a dark scary room

To have your heart 
Explode with emotion
Yet no one there
To share your devotion

For you hold your hand out
Will one help balance life
If no grasp for that hand
Unknown plight of feeling damned

So some try and try again
Others fail before they begin 
Life goes on with or without
Each year lingers by full of doubt

To make one more connection
Surely would length my life
So unsteadily I thrust the hand
Who will balance me now

But what is life without love
And also love without pain 
For deep within my heart 
It has all been the same

No Escape

By walls of steel and stone
For today I stand alone
And time means nothing now
Cause we are so far apart

My thoughts return to you
Now realizing the truth
No matter where I lye 
You are buried deep inside

With your beautifull memories
Flooding my empty mind
It keeps the thing I need the most
That is my selfish sense of pride

Once time does resume again
I must spend days with you
Your beauty being through and through
So your presence I can not elude

My Prayer

I haven't asked the lord for much
But I'm asking for this angel now
She makes me feel a calming embrace
Every time I see her beautifull face

My body  tingles whenever she's near
I think of nothing else when she's not here
So I ask the lord for a little help
Complete my life with a love so deeply felt


My heart has been dormate for so many years
No emotion, no happiness, not even tears
So let me know , lord, what I should do
All things are possible since I believe in you

Now that my heart is alive once more
I give it to the angel I could not ignore
Lord please bless me with this gift
Keeping saddness away, let me bask within

I've waited for this love all of my life
Surely, it's from you lord and must be right
If nothing more comes from this, I couldn't conceive
For this angel opened my heart, made me ready to receive

What I've had with her has been great so far
I can only imagine more for her and I to explore
Now I pray to my lord harder than ever before
Let her breath life into my heart forever more
