Emergence

This one was written in an airplane shortly after takeoff...enjoy!


I love watching
As the ground falls away
And the lights slowly change
Until they become thousands of tiny stars
Flickering below.
Then we enter a cloud
And are consumed by the bleak nothingness
Tossed and thrown
By natures strength
And then we break through the top
And are brought into a different place,
An entirely new landscape
With beautiful hills
And valleys
And a new horizon.

I don’t know what this is...

It speaks for itself...enjoy!


I don’t know what this is
Or how to feel.
I don’t know if I should laugh
Or let tears fall,
If love is strong
Or has left today.
On the verge of tears
With happiness all around.
A burning heart,
Disturbed breath,
Jumbled emotions trying to prevail.
All I know
Is I love you.
I love you.

To her I could give my heart...

Needless to say, it didn't work out...


To her I could give my heart,
But You want it first.
To her I could give my love,
But You ask for it all.
For her I would lay down my life,
And this is what You require.
What I want
Is what You say I cannot have.
I must first love only You,
And You must have my heart fully.
For only through You
Will I learn how to Love.
Only You
Can teach me what Love is
And show it to me
Unconditionally.
So I must watch
And learn
As I try and understand
How You can Love me,
For only then
Can I truly love anyone else.
So if loving her
Means letting go,
I am only Yours.

It’s like you know you’re about to die...

This is another one written during an IM...haha. Enjoy!


It’s like you know you’re about to die
But you don’t know when,
So you wait,
Trying to make the most of whatever time you’ve got.
There are so many things you want to say
And so many things you want to do,
But it’s too late,
And you don’t know where to begin.
So you search for words
To let them know how much you love them,
And all you want
Is to hold then in your arms
And peer into their eyes
One last time
So you can see the light glimmering in them
And know in that moment
That they love you more
Than anything on this earth.
And so you slip away
To the unknown world
Remembering their face
As the last thing you ever saw.

Looking out the windows...

I believe I wrote this one while I was in Japan, so I gave it a date around the time I was in Japan since one wasn't recorded...haha. Makes sense...enjoy!


Looking out the windows
I see such beautiful sights
Amazing mountains to the left
A sparkling sea to the right
But though beauty prevails
From the earth to the skies
The beauty I long for
Shines only from your eyes.
Gorgeous places surround me
I have never laid eyes on before
Elegant words made of brush strokes
I cannot read, yet adore
I feel free in this uncertainty of what’s going on
But trapped in my longing for you while I’m gone.
