Love, what is love?

A passion that takes over and consumes us….

A light that shows in the darkest places…

The reason to be when there is no reason to be.

Why can’t we hold it and manipulate it?

Why can’t we make it obey us and that we don't obey it?

To only let us feel what we want to feel and not the pain that makes us ache.

Why can't we control lust?

Why can't we control envy?

Love, what is love? Love is only what we make it. So what is love to you?

Goodbye

And there I lay,

Falling into my sheets

Into the soft interior,

And then to the pain of springs

Completely heavy, unable to move

I had never been chocked up before,

Never have I been at a loss for words.

I stared into his lifeless gaze,

I love you was only a soft whisper

This was the moment I dreaded,

The moment I had to say goodbye

To let heaven take him,

It was all too much.

Weeks before I had come to see him

After he had first came there

His heart was unable to beat on its own

His lungs unable to breathe

Yes, I went to his home to clean the wounds

The blood and dirt left behind in the back room

As I scrubbed the carpet with vinegar and tears

I told myself I was handling this well

But, wounds don’t heal just because you can’t see them

No, wounds take much more time

So I thought I was prepared to see him, but

Some things you cannot prepare for.

I was ling on the bed when the phone rang

And there I lay,

Falling into my sheets,

Into the soft interior,

And then to the pain of the springs

Completely heavy, unable to move

Fairy Tales That We Believe

Just when you think there are no more tears left, they come

Just when you think you can not cry out anymore, you cry

Just when you think there is no way out………..there is

When you leave us, there will be tears, but for now all we can do is believe.

But do we believe in fairy tales? We may not, but you will be the one to live it.

My hearts ripped out, but its’ still beating, my lungs still breathing when there’s no air.

My hands still sweat when the wind is cold, my eyes still blink, when they stare.

Just when you think there is no hope, the Lord will wrap you in his arms

Just when you think that life can’t go on, someone will be there full of life to give

Just when you think there is no escape, you’ll find it in simple things.

But do we believe in fairy tales? Yes, my dear I choose to believe.

The Gentle Lion

Who is the Lamb? The one most High?

So far stretches his beauty: sky to sky

Our redeemer, our Father, the Lord of Lords

My hearts one love, my soul's one sword

He waits to clothe me in raiments white

For now he holds me into the night

He talks with me through the wind in the trees

His mercy and love brings me to my knees

Warmness floods my body when his smile shines on me

The crash of his waves are his majesty

His friendly laugh brings the flowers to pray

Oh when will come Jesus, who will reign one day?

We wait in anticipation for what we believe

I can’t wait to hold my Lord like he now holds me
