-
Breathe your life into me;
fill me up with your fire.
-
Spent hours driving fast out in the rain.
It failed to wash away or leave behind the pain.
-
I battle hard through this life of grey,
fighting fiercely for each inch of ground.
-
Not my poem!!! It's by Joseph (Joey, Jerry) Smith, from my Church.
-
Death owned all my soul
Then the Great King brought death low
-
This thing I have been taken into is vast;
it encompasses creation and goes infinitely past.
-
Nathan is cool!!!
Nathan is a spaz!!!
-
Flaming arrows fly from their tongues,
stabbing, burning, rending my valor and nerve.
-
Hope has fled my heart, for seasons,
and fear has washed away my might.
-
This is a greater place than any space
I have, in past, called home.
-
Looking back on times long past,
upon these moments spent so fast,
-
The cardinal winds have blown, viscously,
across the winter oceans of my soul.
-
So many possibilities exist,
that may yet come to being.
-
Strip away the layers of uncertainty;
remove this enslaving inadequacy.
-
Teach him the promise of his soul's true name,
so that he will shine and never be the same.
-
Your bright, eternal fire draws and holds me tightly from within;
it ignites my heart, it burns away my shadows and my sin.
-
There's no more fear or time to waste.
My bonds are gone, since I've had a taste...
-
I need the help of some greater force
than my own.
-
So fleeting, so fragile, is earthly life.
Yet, I squander it on lazy indulgences.
-
Shadow-lusts move 'cross my soul,
with a sinister life all their own.
-
I'm aware of all the moments I have lost
to hesitation and always counting cost.
-
I am not a heroic being;
no supermen or Heracles make their home in me.
-
My Love is loud; it shouts itself within my being.
It has no end; it thunders through eternity.
-
Eyes of heat, like coals of fire, fall on me and burn.
They cause my center to constrict and violently churn.
-
-
You gleam and pierce the night,
like the star of my secret desire.
-
Turn up the volume and embrace the song of life.
Why celebrate tomorrow, when you have been given this night.
-
I haven't the capacity to meet the demands that are placed on me.
I drown in expectation and choke on my bleak lack of destination.
-
Another day, another change, another point of no return
has come.
-
It's all I have left of you, this beautiful thing.
You gave it in love, in a long ago memory.
-
I turn into a worm inside when faced with bitter strife.
Eventually, I'll have to go out the door to face the wicked,
-
The darkness, it chased me.
Then, it embraced me.
-
Finally, I find my voice;
I make my revolutionary choice.
-
I thought I was strong,
I thought I knew love and how to give it,
-
The sounds of my shortcomings are booming in my ears!
They thunder without mercy!
