In the Silence and Noise

Listened intently at your voice
Wondered if there was a choice
So I hear in the silence and in the noise
That it is not up to any of the boys

Exposing my heart was a gesture of love
Only to be accepted from up on above
Parched for love in this deserted land
Kneeling before God not on the sand

I reached out beyond the stars
To say you don’t need so many cars
What love has in store for you
Would have you give it all up, that’s true

Bound to God

I am bound to God
Not by any human means
But by Spirit and Truth
Though I was never welcome by anyone

I practice goodness all day long
Then I am subject to evil all night long
Tortured and torn to pieces
Again and again for you

My willingness to be drowned in agony
Is beyond anything you can imagine
It is situated in the highest heaven
With love at the core it will never die

I was taught to listen to God
He speaks in silence and love
Adorning passing words with gifts of joy
And filling our hearts with compounded love

Kiss

Blessings to all who read this
Meanings behind every bliss and kiss
A dance if you will, changing forever
Never meant to sever

Your love means more to me
Something I wish for you to see
Just how much it means
More than it seems

No more broken memories
Just beautiful stories
Gleaming right on through
Love that is really true

Cannot say it enough in so many ways
Over and over again it is love that portrays
Our deepest desires of our hearts
And mine begins with the arts

Free

If you wanted my attention
You got it with no reservation
You can’t bring me down to my knee
For my prayer is continuously free

But when you’ve got the beat despite the feat
I can see the future and what is in store is defeat
But weakness is amidst the very poor
Gaining God’s strength against the gore

I have nothing to confess anymore
So here I am standing on your shore
Waiting for you to say hi to me
To capture your love so free

Soften

I have lost so much over the years
Sacrificed for the greater good
Nobody cares as they tear away
At the prophecy I must convey

Not my life on the line
I did what I can
In truth out of love for you
No more can you possibly do

I have tried to reach out based on love
Wondering why ignorance prevails
Discovering the hardness of hearts
And softening them with my death

Raved

That song in my heart that needs to sing
Is bursting forth like a diamond ring
Glittering love like a white fire flickering
Giving me ample time to write what to sing

I have found you so it seems
After thousands of years searching through reams
Your inklings of curiosity set me on a course
To find your love seeking mine of course

So either you are shy or ignorant
I believe I already dispersed my rant
I see my patience is being tested
After a thousand times I rested

So I danced with the Lord out of pure joy
What did people say when engaged in a ploy
After something that cannot be taken away
But rather acknowledging the truth I say

The dance was in part meant to be
A way to whisper in His ear, see?
Care to catch the phrase that saved?
Listen to the Lord to that which raved

Elevated

What your heart sings when you cry
Has me wondering if I should try
To bring myself into the spotlight
Moving my heart toward the light

Your love is what is real to me
A passion worth enduring so free
So I pour mine into words so true
With a beat to be felt, so please do

You have me coasting and floating
Elevated by this love that will sing
A magical moment to bring to you
A love never felt before by you

Billions

I give you my love amidst the sea of billions
Deep diving for treasures of bullions
Swimming my way to you
So much in my way to you

Unable to catch up with you
So I sat still and set my Kingdom here
In the peace and joy awarded by God
No way to dispute the staff and rod

Laid out before Him like an offering
His joy is mine complete in a ring
Wonders never cease of His Glory
So much more than any story

Formidable

Lord, I am
Feeling like I am a ghost
Invisible to most
A most formidable host
I feel like a toast
To the One Triune God
In Christ’s holy name
Live in Us as we live in You
Love us as we love You
Protect us and keep us safe
As You have always done for us
Forever Amen

Reins

I pulled the reins on my love
To slow right down to a halt
I can see what people want in their dreams
But when I saw your heart looking for me
I opened the floodgates that came to thee
So instead of the intended wave
A tsunami I gave

Love in Play

Always from the heart and do not know how else
Know that I am perfect for you in every way
But I am far from being ready for you today
Love in play is never a mistake
With the Lord’s Spirit as my guide, my heart
I breathe His power in and out like fire and water
Salting the earth with new life

Sound Barrier

My heart beating into motion
Churning never felt before emotion
If you were around
It would make a sound
Like breaking the sound barrier
And in the echo a whisper
Telling you love is just around the corner

Weave

Been on fire for Love since the beginning
All my love is forever winning
Surely this will deepen yours
Deeper than the ocean floors

I fell for certain love to be sure
Had hoped for a simple cure
To the pain and the angst revealed
Certainly not meant to be sealed

Tears flow like a river’s stream
In torrents of a whitewater dream
Faced with so much suffering and joy
It is difficult to be in any way coy

I wear my heart upon my sleeve
So that true love will always weave
In and through this tapestry
Despite all the awful agony

Lost Hope

I have lost all my hope in you
You have been seduced through and through
You fell for the lie to bring you fruit
Only you will realize it’s bad to the root

I tried to warn you but your ears are deaf
Not listening will only lead to death
Your heart is now like a stone jewel
Pretty, but useless, hard, and cold

On that note I have failed you
Could have tried harder to reach you
But now it is too late
Left to a certain fate

Drift

I let my mind drift in your direction
Awestruck by your love and affection
More love and blessings to you be given
Though I have the power of God times Seven

Would you remind me of why yours came to be?
Show me your affection so envied by the sea
Charitable my love is one of the forms to be
But also philia which is one I seek from thee

Nobody’s hopes come without love in store
Work the to and and fro like waves on the shore
Eventually revealing oceans secrets galore
Never resorting to anything that leads to gore

What you do to and for others matters most
Just as what we do that Eucharistic Host
Got in mind a secret to be revealed
That the fate of the world is actually sealed

Put your hand on my heart and feel it’s beats
To every word you say it in feats
It will change it’s pace to quicken or deepen
It’s by love that I will be reaping

Can’t get enough of your love like flowers
No matter how it comes in showers
Sway my heart toward your own
I like the feeling of the love sown

Circumvent

Little do you know someone like me
Always in so much pain amidst suffering
Meant to circumvent
A certain catastrophic event

In so many I meet do I find the love I seek
But I am also in search for the ones who do not
To show them that the Light of God is simply Love
To shed it on others despite who they are

You want me to dance with you
Then come to me if you can find me
I am hidden on purpose
Want you to respond on all channels

I can feel the heartbeats far away
Matching mine I wonder if the moment was said
Tell me I am dreaming as I swirl in the light
You take my breath away most days to my delight

Why does it have to be the way it is now?
Your songs are luring me down
From where I am in Heaven so high
Nobody to bring me down, so sigh

So here I am alive and well
Don’t care anymore what anyone might say
If I shed my blood once again to save
The ones who tread death like water and fire

Selena

What you want from me is love
And I love that you love to love
Makes me want to dance again
Like I cast away my cares to refrain

Found you and knew it was you
But the oil change was just a chance for you
For you to get a chance to see
Love incarnate like a broken tree

Broken by the forces over it
But roots that are deep like where I sit
I know you also do not see what I write
But know that with me we would not fight

Peace flows from this heart like a river brings
That my children love others and their siblings
My fruits are of every nature
Three kinds and they will always love her

The ebb and flow of the push and pull give you
Just do not let go of me when you do
Back and forth I hope you pull me close
Enough for a kiss to be a just a small dose

A dose of good kindness and basic delivery
Vulnerability in turn for immortality
But what is a kiss without love intwined
That even a stolen kiss could actually bind?

With every kiss comes with an entrance
Into my heart a Heaven that has no fence
What you give I give back ten fold
But in every way I am left in the cold

So warm me up with your soothing fire
My Father lets it so transpire
Because He can see right through
And Know in my heart so true

Sometimes I let my heartstrings stray
Like tiny tendrils of light that say
Words of love like the only God I know
And to the proud of heart they toss to and fro

Alas, Love will always love you
I am not done with you
Could keep you alive with the kiss of Christ
And with my tears bring resurrection not a heist

Contemplate

As I reveal my deepest secrets over time
Writ within a meaningful rhyme
I contemplate my purpose once again
With truly nothing to gain

My heart is as simple as love itself
All of my poems sitting on a shelf
I felt it just the same
I never thought of it as a game

Dance with me because I love to
But my mind is fading without you
And will forget how to dance the tunes
Instead I go into the desert dunes

Drop to my knees with an emotional sigh
My tears flow like a deluge of a river sly
Waiting for this moment and broke the dam
Irrigated this desolate desert and became a ram

What if

If you were on fire with love for me
What would you do to me?
My heart flourishes the butterflies
In anticipation of and what it implies

If I was on fire with love for you
And if you allowed me to
I would kiss you hand, head, and foot
And bless you with all I have to put

What if I told you things no one would believe
Would you believe or decide to leave?
What I would say would lead your thoughts to
A formidable conclusion that is true

But what truth is hidden in plain sight
That brings forth God’s Divine Light?
See that what is left unsaid
Is kept a secret even kept from the dead
