Dear Love, I Would

Dear Love, I Would

Your lips would make, 
For a gentle kiss
Your arms would make 
For the perfect hug. 

Your hand would make, 
A perfect fit for mine
You're the one I would love
To have beside me now.

You're the one I want, 
To share my heart and life with
I wish I knew what I did 
To deserve you showing up?

Because I would do it again!

Separation of a Seasoned Love

What, if any, shall my love be; if tho is not there in the meadow of our season? Will our love wilt as flowers do in the burning sun without thy water to sip into its roots? Shall we not meet by the tree in the meadow of our love? But, if it is not ordained, how so may it go forth, in the bloom of the day of our meadowed love seasoned? I do miss thee, when we are parted from us, in our meadows; seasoned love.

Separation of a Seasoned Love


Our love is, but, just a separation, 
For just a bit longer from one another. 
For our souls still, 
Danced in the moonlight of our season of love. 

Oh, how I've missed our time 
Spent physically with one another. 
The anticipation of us again in the heavens, 
Exciting the taste of our beauty we had the chance to live. 

My love, until we are reunited;
I shall count the seconds till our harmony; 
And, is together, and once again regained. 
My love for Him is forever eternal, 
Faithful, as the love that once lived here. 

Rest my love, 
May our Lord shine on our beauty, 
And again, by mornings dew;
Shall we be together again?

Just Me: Part 1

Just Me: Part 1

I am just me.
That's all I am.
Nothing more. 
Nothing less.
I am me!

I Know This

As I walk through this world,
I know this...
I have had many blessings...
As I walk through this world,
I know this...
I have had many curses...
As I walk through this world,
I know this...
I have met many friends...
As I walk through this world,
I know this ...
I have lost many friends...
As I walk through this world,
I know this...
I have had many failures...
As I walk through this world,
I know this...
I have achieved great feats...
As I walk through this world,
I know this...
I have found much hatred ...
As I walk through this world,
I know this...
I have found so much love...
I know this...

As We Are

For the days grow old, 
As do we
I search for this woman 
It was meant to be. 

I found that woman, 
Which is you 
So, I searched my heart 
I found this to be true.
 
For I shall hold your love, 
With blissful joy 
To me, you have been
The blessing I had asked for. 

For now, it is time, 
To tell the world
Having you with me 
Was love to be shared.

The Abyss In Loving Someone

The Abyss In Loving Someone


Falling in love with the darkest abyss of someone's soul,
Finding their ugliest, darkest part of them.
Rounding up the demons that lurk around inside of them,
The deep darkest abyss of their souls' sea.

Then when no one is watching,
You get down to the deep level of their souls.
And then there you'll feel as though,
You've seen and felt their hell.

When you get that deep inside someone:
You'll find that;
You'll need to love the hell out of that one person.

Or if you've to fall in love, for that one's light,
Before having to stand alone in the darkness of them?
Then you'll be loving those people,
On top of the surface, they show you.

But that isn't real:
It's lusts of their flesh.
Where the eyes of a human had opened:
From the temptations that were born; 
By dark forces and were ashamed.

And that's the devil's playground,
Wanting you to bite from it's forbidden.

Sanctuary

Sanctuary

Crawl into my sanctuary, 
And leave this world behind. 
Open up your heart, and let me in,
Then close the door of your mind. 

Wrap yourself in my blanket, 
As dark as the ocean deep. 
Your tears gently sparkle, 
Like diamonds while you weep. 

I will hold you tightly with a hug, 
And protect you from all that's wrong. 
And when you long for comfort, 
I will bring you a Phoenix song. 

Don't cry, my flightless angel, 
Your Halo still shines bright. 
Together, we will find your wings, 
Then soon, you'll be in flight. 

So, tonight, please sleep peacefully, 
I know you are feeling weary. 
So rest, wrapped up inside my blanket, 
Inside my sanctuary.

To my daughter, 
Tiphanie Dawnette

The Departed Son

I love you much, 
Billy Patrick, 
And I miss you so much more! 

I hope you're resting peacefully, 
I'll see you soon at Heaven’s door!

Until we reunite, my son, 
Keep an eye from above on your so
Help him along his way!

You left him way too soon,
But that was God’s design
Even though you didn’t want it that way.

Let Eoin feel you still exist with his heart, 
He won't judge you
Coming eternally from inside.

That, you never intended on, 
Leaving him so soon
From the way that you departed.

But, things happen so unexpectantly.
It was a state of confusion 
That took me to the illusion
That you were still here the whole time. 

It’s time that I let you go, 
My son
Rest peacefully
Smile, I’ll see you on the inside.

RIP., William Darnell Jr

I Am a Believer In a King

I believe I do, in it all:
The story of a Manger in a Barn;
Where Mary and Joseph had laid
Jesus was here, in this barn 
He laid in that manger and played.

I believe, He's the Son of Man; 
An immaculate conception
Told by the Spirit of God 
As He came to visit, Mary, 
Throughout the night.
				
The Redeemer, a Savior; 
For humanity's fighting plight
It's foretold that He would come
For the creation of life that needed saving. 
 
They came to see the maiden of the barn;
Animals of all kinds of breeds
Feeding, watering from the troughs
They're all lying around everywhere
Waiting for the birth of a King, do not despair.	

Coming from faraway places, they do come;
The animals had no doubts about the case
For Mary was about to give birth on this day
For humanity's salvation will soon be paid.

When the Angels started Singing;
As trumpets bellow in the background
Setting a stage for a grand entrance
Of a King that was about to be.

Then, the Shepherds came walking through 
With good tidings, do they bring 
Three Wisemen following a bright Star in the Sky
Finally, Jesus Christ was born
Under That Bright Shining Star!

Now I Lay Me

Now I Lay Me

Now I lay these tired eyes to sleep,
Oh Lord, 
could you watch over me? 

God, could you Bless my family and friends, 
as I slumber here, in my cozy bed?

One more thing, 
then enough here, being said!

Until the night turns into the light, 
then I'll wake, 
and the world will seem bright. 

And Lord, I love you; I wanted you to know?

It's that time now; 
turn off the lights and this show.

Good Night!
