As I Wait

As I wait
And long to feel you
On top of me, inside of me
Move me, make me

As I wait
To be consumed by you
Your lips, your breath, your words
lay me bare, reveal me

As I wait
For you to make me exist
To weave me, tangle me
Create me, bring me forth

I will be born again
At your touch
I wait to be brought forth
To live wholly, holy
By you

Right There

Right there, I want to live right there;
Between your voice and your words,
Where your soul is laid bare.

My salvation rests on your lips
And the truth is what I find in you
As all around me the world slips.

Between your arms and your eyes,
Where my heart is beating away.
As everything inside me reaches for the skies,
This is where I want to stay.

Waiting

To have to wait—
Waiting for the silence to break.
Back and forth, a tight gait;
Trying to balance all that’s at stake.

Mere Mortal

Tossing and turning and twisting
Pushing and pulling and resisting
Back and forth and around
Caught and trapped and bound

My thoughts are ravaged
And my heart has savaged
All this waiting and indecision
The world is torn to division

Oh, how am I to choose
What’s to win and what’s to lose?
Heavy is the lack of portal
And I am but a mere mortal.

Is it in my power to relinquish power
Before the ground rises to devour?
Or am to pay the profound price
For tasting of the fruit of entice?

Glass And Illusions

What a fool I was all along
To believe nothing was wrong.
How could I have assumed
While, all along, darkness loomed?

Told myself, close your eyes
And hate will be none the wise.
Put all faith in my delusions;
Built a world on glass and illusions.

But darkness has a way
Of bringing about decay.
Permeating through the cracks;
Confusing all the facts.

Now this illusion is coming down;
Shinning towers falling all around.
And all the fault is mine alone,
For not having built with stone.

Courage

Go slow,
Go slow with me.
I’m scared,
I’ve never been here before.
This place in new to me;
Take my hand, gentle,
Guide me through this place
Where even you have never been.
I’ve taken up all my courage
And put it in your hands.
Too late, we can’t turn back now
So, come, let’s keep going.
But, please, go slowly.

Upon My Knees

My heart is broken, it's stopped
So how is the world still turning?
From my sky the sun has dropped.
What's left of me is churning.

When there is a silence in my head
How is a world of people still speaking?
There is nothing left to be said,
As the sounds of the city are peaking.

There is a severe numbness in my being
I've no longer control of my limbs anymore.
From within me the desire to dream is fleeing.
I'll never be able to return to how life was before.

It takes everything to refrain from looking back
But neither can I see what is ahead of me.
Barren now, the future appears pitch black;
I've been brought down upon my knees.

Desire

Oh, to feel your lips on my skin
It burns me up from within
Your hands pull me in closer
I’m losing all sense of composure

Clothes are being shed around
Inhibitions have been drowned
As we move to mold into one
To your desires I will succumb

Put your body on top of mine
I want to see the divine
Come, enter into me
Now move me like the sea

Back and forth, senses lost
All lines have been crossed
Push me in these final throes
Bring me to a place so close

One, oh, here we are now
Take my body for all it allows
Hold me against your chest
Catch our breath and be blessed

Waiting

Waiting is the hardest thing one can do
When one is a devoted disciple of time.
Moments become cycles of rhymes
And I can’t think a single thought through.

The way the moon chases after the sun,
And night longs to be one with the day.
Hoping for when you decide to stay,
My heart longs for our hearts to be one.

But we are separated by worlds apart;
Lands, mountains and seas in between.
Distance farther than it would seem,
I am too far away from your heart.

Waiting for you to come take me away
From this place to where you are.
Find me by following the evening stars
As I watch the hands of time and pray.

Chance The Blind

I've never really been lucky;
Things don't work out for me.
My life has been a quick study
Of lessons in struggle and pleas.

I feel I've spent my whole life
Down on my knees; oh stiffness.
Trying to overcome all strife,
Begging God for forgiveness.

Now as I move to stand on my feet,
I've never been so scared.
As I step out on to the street,
Life is now going to be dared.

And as I reach for your hand,
Willing to chance the blind,
I'm ready to take this stand;
Let us become entwined.
