Maybe So
You say that the love of the father is not in me
I’ll shrug and say… it maybe so
That I’m taken by the world and all that’s in it
I’ll think for a moment and say… it maybe so
And that I’ve must’ve never been saved or blessed
I’ll look down and say… it maybe so
That I’m a lie, a walking contradiction
I’ll smirk and say… it maybe so
You’ll give up on me, and say I’m lost
That I don’t have a clue
That I know nothing and hold nothing
I’ll smile and say
Now you get it
Tell me beloved
What is a field of roses
When you are the very garden
From which it breathes ?
All can perceive
That our father
Whispered a secret in your ears;
Golden Words
only you can decipher
Oh where does such magic
Derive from, dearest one?
All would come
If you’d divulge
What you’ve hidden from the world
Tell me beloved
Of this emerald you possess
Tell me
In between each breath
There in that space… I am
See me in
That moment before ink touches paper
… I exist
Where sleep wins over
Tired eyelids
In the letting go…. I’m already there
Feel my words
When the flakes of snow
Are just about to caress the ground
… There I shall abound
I promise to never part
Even after goodbyes
A kaleidoscope of memories
Sprints across my eyes
Realizing all that was
Each and every moment
Living and dying all at once
The essence of right now
Surfaces so clearly
As I remember
What seems to be yesterday
There is nothing to grasp
There is simply
The letting go
Being present
As every second dances away from me
Yet paints a beautiful memory
Let the sky become a canvas
Your breath a song
And create it with blissful ness
As I close my eyes
And I am grateful
Tell me
You’ll pray with me
That God will be first in all we do
And when you see me on my knees
Thankful in tears
That you’ll join beside me
Bow your head as I do
Whisper sweet nothings
In my creators ears
Where it becomes everything
And from there
Our love can blossom
With the promise of today
Tomorrow
What was
washed away
As his hands touch ours
This will be our courting season
Not Netflix and chill
But Scripture and prayers
Tell me this is you
And every mistake before you
Shall be erased
Tell me
There’s this darkened cloud above your words
Downtown Train
For hours I have anticipated catching you
Looking up departure times online
I find myself drifting with the hopes of where you will take me
I know our ride always ends quick
Far too fast for me to savor the movements we partake of
Stop after stop flies by like a blur
Leaving imprints behind
Your doors shut abruptly over and over
As if you were a scorned lover
Light and dark track your shadows constantly
In and out of tunnels we go
Bridges we cross and wave goodbye
I don’t dare drown you out with earphones filled with music
The roaring of your motions plays like a melody in my ears
How perfect this affair we carry
Where screeching and passionate collide
You bring me to my stop with furious precision
Cold like you slam shut the doors to your warmth inside
And time after time I find myself standing out in the cold
Surprised to feel sad and satisfied at the same time
I watch you run from me
To the next destination
How you remind me of my past lovers
My downtown train…
