untitled 1

the glass is cold
it stings my face as i press against it
staring down the street
a silent street of sleeping homes
alone at the end of a circle
no warmth will come tonight
is it possible to feel alone
alone in a city full of millions
i pray
the prayer of a million other souls
longing to receive a loving kiss
feeling let down by my faith
where even the mustard seed failed
failed to save…
promised to move a mountain of pain
left from being forgotten
now as empty as the tin man
i scream
i cry
i beg to know that someone cares
just beyond the burning horizon
in a warm bed she sleeps
that answer that he gave me
the opportunity to be born
to chase a dream i’ve never forgotten
sleep overwhelms me as i drift
i don’t know what i need
i know what I crave
she
the one god delivered
to one alone
alone in a city of millions

how can?

How can tiny hands
soft… delicate…
completely lost in my grasp
move a world?
How do two blue eyes
full of innocence… wonder…
trusting me
energize my soul?
How does one word
daddy…
bring me to my knees
and praise God?
How does leaving
goodbye… until next time…
wash away my dreams
and destroy all that I am?

Lonely People

I feel alone.
Lost.
Forgotten.
Needing someone to cry on.
Never knowing,
never wanting to know
that there might be
someone wanting to cry on
me.

Not seeing
WE are lonely,
searching for love,
companionship,
wondering how others
fake happiness,
smiling their troubles away.

slipping into ourselves,
we don’t need to be
alone.
after all, we’re living in
a house of lonely people.

She

fresh blue eyes
shimmer…
like wet marbles
(streaked with gold)
in the early morning light.

full pink lips
explore…
soft like rose petals
(brought gently to the nose)
at her mother’s breast.

short purple fingers
hold…
like God’s embrace
(stretched from Heaven’s throne)
onto my quivering finger.

Only hours old…
she…
satisfies my life
she…
captures my soul.

Romans did not crucify the Lord of my life.
He did not perish on top of some hill.
He was not sacrificed by agnostics;
He was not flogged by atheists.
Christ didn’t bear the burden… of men long forgotten.
Ignorance didn’t dictate His fate.
Intelligence didn’t ensure His capture.
No! Romans did not crucify the Lord of my life.
I do…
I crucify my Lord,
but He never perishes.
He sacrifices
so sins no longer destroy my flesh.
Christ bears my burdens… of sins forgiven.
When hate enslaves my heart,
His love ensures my release.
NO! Romans did not crucify the Lord of my life.
I do… but my Lord loves me still.
