My Life In Word

OPEN HOUSE

My heart keeps an open house

The door is never locked

All it’s simply waiting for

Is to hear your earnest knock

NO DISGUISE

 My love has no disguise
 Or nefarious intent
 It travels a straight line
 It is neither broken nor bent
 No contingency or condition
 I give it freely
 To the one whom I love
 I give it completely

THE NATURE OF LOVE

 What is it that has the power
 To subdue the impregnable heart?
 I say it be love above all else
 For the nature of love
 Was in the BEGINNING
 When God created Adam
 In his image
 Yes, it be love
 That subdues the impregnable heart!
 For the nature of love
 Was in the END
 When God forsook his only Son
 That we may live

A LOST SOUL

Silent screams resonate

Through the night

But no one takes heed

To this soul in need

Or cares about his plight

Alone and dejected

A lost soul rejected

On the verge of

Giving up the fight

THE SILENCE OF NIGHT

 Storms rage from deep within
 Calm seas rise
 My eyes well with tears
 And the room fills with muted cries
 In the silence of night
  
 As I sit alone
 In the eye of the 'cane
 The calm before the storm
 Tears fall like sprinkled rain
 In the silence of night
  
 The rain then turns to fury
 As CAT5 winds begin to blow
 But there's no one around to hear
 So no one else will know
 What goes on 
 In the silence of night

SILENT EXCHANGE

She was woven into the fabric of my being

I knew how she felt sometimes without even seeing

Though others would simply pass her by

I could tell by the forlorn look in her eyes

That the weight of her world was heavy, indeed

And of a wordless hug she was in need

We’d embrace in silent exchange

To an onlooker it would seem strange

But, we too understood each unspoken word

For a conversation between souls doesn’t need to be heard

EPHPHATHA

 She had sworn off love
 Resigned to a life alone
 But then one day
 An Angel walked in
 And it was as if
 Jesus had placed his hand
 On her heart and said,
 "Ephphatha!" 
 —"Be opened!"—
 And immediately her heart
 Was opened again
 To the possibility of love

JOURNEY

 I am locked in a maze
 Of sadness and grief
 I don’t know when 
 I will find relief
 I take this journey
 Every February first
 It's both a blessing
 And a curse

RESIDES INSIDE

 He holds hidden sorrows
 Behind his eyes
 That no one can see
 From these sorrows
 He wished to be free
 But how can one be free
 Of what resides inside 
 A whole but shattered heart
 Shattered by lies
 And wolves disguised
 In love's clothing
 Though he may smile
 And laugh and jest
 They are just shields
 That help protect
 His bruised and battered heart

BLINDED

 I wanted him to love me
 But how could he
 When he didn’t even
 Love himself enough
 To climb out of the depths
 Of his own despair
 He was so blinded
 By his own depravity
 That he couldn’t see
 Or appreciate the love
 That stood before him
