Surrender

I can't get married today
But I want more from him
Than just a midnight fling
I hear him singing melodies
That I wrote with my words
But I'm thinking
Giving in to my whims
Like a whisper
Has to be sinful
Because it's too much
Fun
To be so carefree
With the essence of me
But I've lived so long
In this virtual world
That I deserve to visit
My dreams before I
Land on eternity

There's A Warrant

I want God to arrest me

to seize me and stop my madness

by his legal right as my creator

to grab a hold of me

keeping me in his custody

for an eternity of goodness

love and protection

I want God to arrest me

to attract me to His essence

like a bumblebee is drawn to 

nectar smells emanating from a

flower growing out of a rock

I want God to arrest me
fix me for the future

that I might be engaged

involved and excited

attentive to the things of

humanity

I want God to arrest me

to check me

to slow me down and check 

my course

that my forward progress

would lead me to success

straight and narrow

I want God to arrest me

to control the activity

of my mind and my body

that my soul might go on

to find it's peaceful place in

the midst of any storm.   

Peeping Out

Keeping my eyes on the prize
When the only way I can see it
Shine is when they're shut
Because my optic nerve
Electrified has captured

The illumination
Through the lens of sight
One last time
Keeping my eyes on the prize
Laughter of a different kind
Found in the
Vitreous humor
My smile is vision
Helping me make informed decisions
I'm a pupil of life
Iris pays attention
While lens flexes muscle
To keep the prism of
Perspective's precision
Keeping my eyes on the prize
When the only way I can see it
Shine is when they're shut!

Eyes On Me

I need to see you
From the inside out
Because the you I lay my eyes on daily
Can't be all you're about
There's got to be something
Ruminating deep down within
From love to life
You can't be full of empty
Thoughts
Lust and havoc
I need to see you
A lot
Past the eyes of you
A little deeper
Into the heart of you
Where I can grab a hold
To the hands of your being
So we can walk together
Get somewhere
And be stranded
Dependent
Attached to each other
Over covered
Protected
Connected delicately
Sincerely
Without influence
From the turbulent ones
Who would have us
At odds with one another
Whirling around in a mess
Instead of frolicking
In our garden of bliss
I need to see you
Because I can't stand to be
On this plateau without you
Another eternity longer
That's what time feels like
When you're far removed from me
And spatial reasoning won't bring
You near
Closer in proximity to my current
Atmosphere
I need to see you
As if staring into the sun
Only blinds me to my own faults
And helps me see you
As naked truth
Because I am
Lost with you as I am lost without you
I need to see you
Like the moon sun and stars
Rise and set in unison
Hang out in the heavens
Ajar
Celestial planets
Giving off heat and energy
Radiant rays of radiance
For all to admire
Falling from the sky
As meteors
Balls of rock glass and fire
I need to see you
Like a bandit robs
For the shear pleasure
Of a simple complex thrill
And
A hitman kills because he gets paid to
And a bounty hunter hunts the wanted
To bring 'em back dead or alive
I need to see you
So I can survive
