Love at Last

I wish that I could see your thoughts
And know just how you feel
Those feelings wouldn't matter much
They wouldn't be a big deal
They would however, show me just
How much I'd have to do
To win you over, let you see
How much that I love you
I just want you to understand
My promises I'll keep
I'm new at this, your my first love
The road is steep
I'm struggling now with every step
I don't know where to turn
But if you would and if you know
I'm here willing to learn
Your face is in my memory locked
It's that smile I'll adore
If to live on that one memory alone
I'll love you all the more
Though I'm proud of what I've wrote
And want for you to see
This poem's beauty doesn't compare
With the beauty in you, to me
These words I write are what I feel
They'll never go away
And since you're reading this right now
Our love begins today

Why

Why take just to lose
Why laugh just to cry
Why sleep just to wake
Why live just to die?
Why run just fall
Why learn just to forget
Why hide just to be found
Experiment just to regret?
Why make just to destroy
Why love just to hate
Struggle just to give in
React just a little too late?
Why play just to work
Why try just to fail
Why work when it's done
Fight not to prevail?
Why scream not be be heard
Why wait just to miss out
Why hold just to leave behind
Why believe just to doubt
Why take just to lose
Why laugh just to cry
Why sleep just to wake
Why live just to die?
-------------------------------------------------------

Run Away

You extend your hand out to me... reaching
Why do I run away?
You offer me marvelous love... freely
I hide in the shadows
You died on the cross to save me... humbly
Yet I cover my eyes!
You just wanted to be with me... forever
But I still reject you
You created and gave me life... joyfully
I turned my back on you
You chase me down with your mercy... quickly
I fight for my freedom
You restore my heart and my soul... graciously
I curse at You for it!
You give me peace and joy and hope... and more
Why do I still struggle?
You shower me with everything... constantly
I don't want it from You
You watch as I cling to my pride... foolishly
This cliff I'm slipping from
Your hand reaches out to catch me... softly
And still I run away
Your light reveals your love to me... shining
Why do I want to hide?

The Heart Comes First

Shall I compare your beauty to the sea?
Something more vast than vastness in itself?
I again do wonder if my mind fools me
And steals my secret thoughts with silent stealth
Sometimes too much vision control the heart
And often love takes action without eyes
And everything from within me must start
By chance to see and love the unkown skies
But if vastness continues beyond sight
Nor is beauty lost when the body sleeps
Nor shall anything remove love at night
When in the heart a special someone's kept
So long as vastness means the same as love
So long lives this lesson from love above
-------------------------------------------------------

Sit Here Alone

God once again
I sit here alone
The wind grabs my conscience
And chills to the bone
I think and wonder
Of what's been before
When my mind was strong
And my wings could soar
My mind slips away
From the problem at hand
But it's finally returned
By my body's demand
I just don't know how
To express all the pain
The pressure's so strong
I don't think I can contain
The emotions, the feelings
That dwell from within
That fragile conscience
Screaming in my skin
My worthless remains
Are left here to die
And I'm left with one question
And that question is "why"
-------------------------------------------------------

Do You Ever

Do you ever wonder why
The Earth revolves around the sun?
Do you ever stop to think
How this crazy world began?
Did you ever comprehend
The vast majestic ocean blue?
Did you ever even notice
The creation next to you?
Could you ever stop to ponder
How a boy becomes a man
Could you come a little closer
Just to find out who I am?
Have you ever looked around you
And seen all there is to see?
Have you ever comtemplated
If this is all that there could be?
Because everything you know
Will Disappear without a trace
And the Earth itself will stop
To see the look left on your face
When you lived a lonely life
Though you had a thousand friends
When you left God out you lost
He's the beginning and the end
-------------------------------------------------------

Moment

The moment I realized
Something was amiss
The moment I wondered
Why it all didn't fit

The moment I surrendered
All my thoughts and dreams
Was the moment I learned
And began to believe

The moment I trusted
My life to his hands
Was the moment I gained
I place in his land
