Hand Touch Life

this wicked soul life did not find
until touched by hands divine
separation it seems had grips on me
fatherless was the foster parent that did raise me

but when I sought him he brought me out
giving me the connection that severed

fear
chastisement
and doubt

but I now know exactly whose I am
the bond has fathered me
to you Lord my master

all darkness is taken
together
my end

snow trail

I'm going to tell you I love you now
like walking on fresh snow
you're my home
we resided in our heart

trotting along a frozen alpine slope
falling from the sky are words of memories
bitter sweet is the descent

saying I love you now
gently walking on newly fallen snow
words so clean and fresh the smoke comes freely
dancing from my lips

so I'm saying I love you now
breaking in the tightly packed snow
looking back on our tracks
glancing forward wishfully
at where we've never been

ahead there is a lazy melody
a song hangs in the air
cutting gently at the silent wind


Author's Note - my girlfriend now (Leanna) is the only one Ive ever said I love you to.

Leanna on the moon

You're my dream
my dream love
that which never was
what wasn't
what never was to be
what a God of mercy
for he has given you
to me


Author's note- For Leanna. My love. Another side note: even rarer is a titled poem after a person. Just isn't done. Yea she is truly special to me.

a run on sentence into you

sweet serpentine. lofty things make me insides scream. this make me soft so call me cream. so deep inside she makes me clean. often saw before but salvation by definition is new... it seems. This thing feels wonderful. It makes me glow, sparkle, glitter, gleam.

Authors Note- I never write poems specifically about people. you have to understand to me writing poetry is the same as a pastor getting up on Sunday and doing a sermon. This is my ministry. I made a vow to not do it unless it was some one I loved or very very serious about. The love poems you see are to the love of my life. my girl Leanna. To be near her and to be with her is bringing me closer to Christ. That's all I have to say on the matter. Thanks.

I don't know

I don't know
I don't know how to be a better man
I don't know how and when to say what you mean
I cant read minds and I can't weave gold from thread
I fumble often
I curse myself much

my heart is crumbling and decrepit
not even more than much

I'm easily thrown backward
I'm hairy to the touch
but this my love is only the beginning
like I mentioned at the beginning
I don't know much

But I do know he loves me
I do know I long for your touch
seal that with eternal serenity
sealed with a cloudy loft

you see even if I don't know anything
how to do it
how much my smell makes it worse
all I have to know is I love you
then none can make matters worse


Author's Note One of the reasons (in my opinion) why so many look for true love is because the heart longs to be understood or "loved first". The folly is to hope in another human. God has already fulfilled all your needs. Whats more he has accepted you before you were born. He loved you first exactly the way you are. Knowing what you would become. The love relationship between humans is toilsome and vein. All the hours the lovers spend trying to get one another to accept the other. Frustration sets in because the heart longs for an instant. The same instant that is given to us the moment we accept Christ. In an instant of conversion we are given an eternity of love and denied and eternity of suffering. That is perfect love. There is the love we all long for.

Victory March


now I stand
the spot of my defeat
the hour of my death

turned around

then the focus of my misery
now the focus of my new life


you fell
you are the one that was slew
all your teeth lie scattered
your mouth is the one full of things corupt


regardless what's felt this is a firm settled housing
no dividing mind to break it apart

its you I owe the joy of my misery
hope it seems comes through storms of doubt
fire breaths a new soldiered calamity
the thing I thought it were
is in all actuality
the source of everything

freedom
peace
new day
a true father
giving a son birthed like crops in drought

reproducing what always was
now is

seemingly what these eyes saw frightful
deemed now
a lifehouse

Thank you for hearing me

Domini Thank You


have mercy O' Lord
redeem this heart of mine
make me swallow mine own enmity
devour my shallow pride

populate this throat with evergreen forests
water me and help me forsake my very eye

develop in me a pure fire to glow with memory
not letting go of the sure promises
one by one make my limpness life

fog never take delight in this bodies members
let amnesia's lull make your claws blind

Jerusalem (Out of Darkness Comes Light)

I do

what was that?
do it for you?
climb and pant for you?
decide to doubt doubt for you?
to know all is in control
all in awe of you

did you say I'm to forsake all for you?
to know without sight for you?
negate the fact for you?

for you I will do
speak to dark for you
instigate a spark of light
all knowing glow stirring inside
glory dancing around you
entirety acknowledging the disciplined truth

odd though that this
no longer then now this is
far from me to remain
parting with a thought formed
letting me grieve the grieved

therefore in conclusion
I am yours
in other words with you
what's more
I do

bright lights

Lord I want you to be near
so beside myself I start a silent prayer

my want be that I ne'er fear
and longing it seems kindles you here

so I wish your love to shatter me
I wish like hope all captives set free

I long for emotion with fervent praise
shouting till chords go horse
all adoration to him
all jubilation
a new exalt
a new sunrise
a new day

this day my eye opened
let it see through to you
I wish for a new memory
for my artistry to befriend you

I wish to travel the world with purpose
walking with my head tilted to sky
my want is to see my help beheld
by every man woman cripple and child

I thank you Lord for giving this outsider a part
please ignite me so I will always remain
put mine toes on a rock heart

for you I shall never be seated in solitude
for you only a sliver of moldy cheese stains
for we know in part perfectly
yet still in me a gay leaf remains

pornography

so its been said stop
listen
you don't listen
let loose
then you listen

whats not said is the fret
the detriment you live in
the pain she feels you intend

like a gun
a bullet goes through your
and her head

collectively you are both dead
your mediating the paul bearers end
the gain he receives the profit margin
of a two man casket
operate the cooperation of the walking dead

and on and on
we all cry incessantly
we all wait for edible bread
this horror can't be made lovely
its altogether venomous
its altogether inadequate

do you see this
are you looking at the volume
the great measure of which I've bled

but it's here where all must diminish to memory
it's here where new story shall be met
for the hope of the deplenished it surety
the tallness of monsters is fallen at the sight of a cross

it's here we find grouped the broken down trodden
finally arms cut open everything is no longer loss
no more hidden is my birth pangs promise
its here I see a heart made in fleshly moss

no more pain
no more misery
the bullet intended for selfish reason
seems insanity
suddenly I see

all is gained which is in memory
nothing is beyond redemption
no hurt to emboldened
new blood prevents all loss

not night


and we danced in that room
to that song but not that night
twas day and we both know
there was no twilight

no moon to struck
just me and you
broad was day
my room slight

this I write to you
a record of what happened
what led us to where we are now
past present intensity

at least that be my hope
another dance
another not night

but until then
we be mere poetry
missing
waiting
thinking
at least I am
about that not night

when I held you closely
motioning us onward
making a memory
of a not night

if a learned man I be
I'll perform read write rhetoric decide author or retort

all these things never getting me closer to thee

Walk your way

the peace tree walk

you'll be happy to know
I failed today
walking easily the other way
blinded by my pride
this plainly I write out

giving in to anger
my hell did find me out

now what to do
disregard and put said monster at ease
feed the hunchback of ego dane
feed the strong jawed pit bull
feed the rat with cheese

no is my decision
for this is the very day he made to pull me out
writing my novela outside time's servitude
making the tall clock stout

with heel making a new pathway
leaving at curb the empty tease
this be freedom's branding tag
the real mark of peace in a soul his hand sees

for a flogging cannot bruise a righteous man
nor can tribulation run full course it's disease
for I have a perfect practitioner
the father demands my ease

that then day floating on morn'

my heart's been heavy
much to long

time to make this
the last journey home

head to heavy

all weight be gone
all weight be gone

for he leads me
taking all crooked psalm

sing no more heavy
won't be long
