I brushed the waves to the shore
And scraped the shallow water
Over the canvas of love

But as the waves crash
And tsunamis last
I shake my head as does the earth

I love you
I need you
I found you
Or did you find me?

A glance is all I need
A glance all I received
I knew the moment I saw you
You who are always in my dreams

I looked and I looked
You vanished forever
Refused to return my messages
Or you never got them

I pried open my heart
Letting the deluge of poetry
Saturate your inbox
Yet you never responded

Not once
Not ever
I love you forever
Even if you do not want to

So I made myself vulnerable
Made myself unequal
A wretch indeed
Do not follow me

You took to the skies
My poems you despise
No matter how many tries
Seven hundred more on the rise

I am so happy to be with you Jesus
Your words bring joy to my heart
My exclamations and songs go on unheard
Oh how I wish she were here to hear it

I take my time to announce
But the world goes on unbewildered
So forgive me Lord
My fruits are few

Let the truth of what goes on in secret
Be revealed in a great reveal
To show people that God means business
When it comes to promises to His Kin

I know my place in God’s Kingdom
Among these I am the Least
So be kind to your neighbour
What is so difficult about loving them?

Oh God my beloved lover
Feels like it did before
Pray for the Kingdom
Pray for the reveal
Jesus is King
Love has returned

At the other end of these poems
Is just one person
But a person nonetheless

A person who suffers
At the hands of his enemies
Belittling him to the brink of death

Despite his futile attempts
And many there have been
He still stands today

I grieve not for myself
I grieve for those who are blind

Your hearts are so cold
Might I be so bold
To actually ask you
Why are you so blue?
To warm up your heart
That is a good place to start

I know
You do not love me
Your heart told me so
When I asked
Do you love me?

I still love you
Though you are lost
I still need you
Though I have everything

Your love is still
Worth fighting for
As it is for all
So be mere imitators of love
And watch the world change
All the way around you

I remember

The doors that were closed
Open wide the doors to Christ!
But their rejection of me
Slammed their door on my face!
I still love them
And forgive them
Even though abuse is their response

I was there in spirit and love
When John Paul II
Opened them on the Jubilee
I can tell you he was hoping
Hoping that Christ would appear
Would appear on the other side

Generous love
Would have delivered Him
To your very doors

But as it is
Love is missing in your world
And my heart is full of it

Peace

So open your hearts
And sing
Sing a song of praise
Praise to the King
Praise to the King

I opened up my song
And sang out my heart
Unbelievable joy
Overcame, I stayed

One person
One love
Said the words yesterday
Explosions of awe at how unconditional
I caved
So I stayed

I am God’s best kept secret
I have inherited the Kingdom of God
Flesh and blood are but dust
Yet the Lord preserves me day and night
My soul’s longings
My yearnings for God
Prostrate before Him
He touched my soul
Forgave my iniquities
Touched me with love
Now what I believe
Is beyond any religion
I am free
Free to love
With the same Love
That is God

Love is all I am

Peace

Let me show you the Kingdom of God

A kaleidoscope of butterflies
In your eyes
Beheld with wonder
Where Everything is a delight

In constant prayer with the Father
Intrinsically intertwined Will will be done
You are either
One with the Father
Or you are not

If you are not sure
I am sorry
You are not

If you are sure
It is time
Time to show
The Kingdom of God
To others
And His Glory will shine

I looked at a photo of you
Looked at the lines of your smile
The features of your eyes
Brought tears to mine
For I saw behind your beautiful face
A very happy place
I would not want to take that away

Since I love you so deeply
I want you to stay happy
If that means dying without you
By my side all alone
I will do it
For my love is worthless
In this evil world

Not to be taken lightly
The decision to die nightly
Involved circumvention
By divine intervention

My hour has not yet come
Here I thought I was done
Your love I sought
Received it not

I have decided to die
I am in too much pain
Physical and emotional
Abuse is conclusive

I tried to warn you
I tried to love you
But I was ignored
And now too late

This is my beloved goodbye
To you and to the world
All I needed was love
Got criticism and ignorance instead

I wonder how many care
But it does not matter anymore
I will be forgotten
And you will not even know I am dead

When I look at your face
You make my heart race
Such everlasting joy
Why so coy?

People lack the kindness
The kind that brings joy
To a deeply worried heart

My Soul belongs
To the Body of Christ
So if anyone cares at all
And wants to honour Jesus Christ
Open up the Bible
Find the Last Supper in a Gospel
Follow the steps
Do it in remembrance of Him
You just bring
The bread and the wine
Do it before your actual supper
Anywhere
Anytime
He says
Do in remembrance of Me
Until
It is finished
Amen

The Silence is beautiful
And my heart throngs
Surrounded even
By darkness
But filled with Light
I am fine
On Fire in fact
My Lord has returned
And gave me solace
Out of love am I
Wondering
Pondering
In that solace of love
Seeking
See a King
