Just A Single Word

Just a glance, the slightest glimpse
My passion is ignited, my heart set aflame
Just a single word, the lightest caress
My lust for you consumes my entire being

Now,  here I stand before the Lord, before His altar
As I freely give my heart, mind, body and soul to only you
Here I pledge allegiance, for I am making an eternal commitment
As I now give my everything, my all, to a love that is strong and true

Truth has, in fact, become stranger than fiction
It seems that we come from two different worlds
Truth has caused her light to shine upon us, and has shown us the way
We stand, joined forever, and swearing by a love that can never be swayed

Take now my heart, and hold my hand
Speak here, those words you know I long to hear
Take me away, lead me to that promised land
Speak of your undying love, as you make me forever, your man

What Is Mine

They want what they cannot have
They try using stealth, promises, and a myriad of lies
Some even try to obtain it through sheer brute force
But they cannot and will not have what is mine

His heart, his mind, his spirit, even his body and soul, belong only to me
Still they stubbornly try to gain entry, only to be cruely used or flatly denied
Leaving their passion and lust to remain all consuming, and never quenched
Yet, they search in vain for the slightest opening, the smallest foothold

I watch them play thier games, laughing at thier utter frustration
For I am vigilant, ready to enact upon them my judgement, and damnation
As I listen to thier words, I am ever aware as I read between the lines
They reveal thier intentions by their tone of voice, a movement of thier eyes

Still, they choose to chase after what will ever stay beyond thier reach
They seem unable to understand, and unwilling to learn
That once invoked, my venegance is a great and terrible force
For they shall never have what is mine.
