Ripple

I have seen time ripple like a stone into a pond
The moment my fist met the face of my enemy
Did not realize the strength inside
Was much greater than what I thought I had

From then on I let my heart lead me to love’s desire
Never met with violence ever again
Saw the deepness of your love and wanted more
What it takes is what love is all about

Clearly I am under your spell, I can say
And those ripples came to haunt me
Gentleness and kindness went a long way
But soon those ripples turned into waves

Captivating me into a kind of dream
Able to let myself go and not worry about anything
Was what came from your soothing voice and light
As the future of the world is at stake it seems

Just wish you could hear my voice and see my light
But the powers that be ignore what’s written here
Fearing the worst they would rather save face
Than to allow the Lord to work through grace

Surprise

What I have seen with unseen eyes
Is a look into a heavenly surprise
A joy that raptures my heart so ferociously
Taking me places I have been so graciously

My sadness extends well beyond the eons of time
Up to heaven I will be lifted so as to climb
And reach beyond top of the highest mountain
I remember the moment I drank from the fountain

That rush of divine fire filled my veins
As I stood over my heart His love reigns
It came the moment of the surprise
That moment I got a look in your eyes

Disease

I suffer from a disease that only delivers pain
Given the levels I have endured I should be insane
It would drive anyone to madness right away
For me, it is just another day

No one understands this relentless suffering
What it does to the mind sounds like an offering
But truth be told I always feel abandoned
Alone, feeling like it is the end

But I look in a mirror and I have not aged
Inside what I am feeling must be caged
I must be dead already but I remain standing
Even though I used to jump the landing

I forged a path by way of Father’s love and mercy
Dreamt I was free of this unreal controversy
One that I created out of desperation
And only ended up feeling like a laceration

My gloom is not to bring you down with me
But rather entice with the hope of mercy
For you to do what is right by way of love no less
Love connections are never meaningless

Grief

First thing to reveal is that my words are
Because it is through God that I am not far
Never thought I would be barely hanging onto life
But evil has a way to bring me nothing but strife

I have already processed the greatest Grief
To lose the ones I love like a Chief
But it never really leaves you, does it?
The triggers and the reminders amidst the grit

Remember that truth matters just for the sake of it
The truth about life and death is they split
About as graceful as a tree hit by lightning
See, I won the prize but was never first to sing

Cryptic

She has delighted me from the beginning
Of course I am cryptic as to who about I sing
Her love, to receive it incites true joy
Never part of some sinister ploy

I have a handle on this rush of a ride
It will always be her, I will confide
To take her by the hand and raise her from the dead
For with me she still has yet to break bread

No one understands this is not surreal
This is not some sort of appeal
It is not the acceptance of a loss so great
But that her love is worth the wait

Oblation

I drained all my life into the world for God
Some people find this really very odd
Why would I sacrifice such a treasure
As all of this I know that I am sure
Not because of some revelation
But because of the actual oblation
As I glean tidbits from these inklings
I walk alone as I walk among kings
A king because of the laying on of hands
Given the authority over distant lands
With you I can honestly say that I tried
For rising from the dead was implied

My Torment

Oh God she is beautiful like the sun
So bright and cheerful and then some
I want her to love me the way I do her
On this love to my Lord I must confer

My torment awaits me as I gaze into her eyes
It is as difficult as the word implies
A painful awareness of an absence long forgotten
A love so distinguished it stands like a mountain

A powerful awareness is cresting at the top
That things are not what they seem so they stop
I will adhere to a certain and powerful vow
To bring forth love in the darkest of places is how
