the lover's lullaby

i saw the moon this night, and she was beautiful
too long was i denied her light
too long was i in dark of night
but now her smile does shine on me
glowing white and pleasantly
out there among the sea of stars
we danced all night
our footsteps rippled out into the universe
worlds were made and galaxies grown
as through the night our love was sewn
but as all things which are longed to stay
she fades away in light of day
the sun rose up to my dismay
and with his sword of ray at side
he cut my love as she fell from high
toppling down behind the hills
i watched her drown the clouds blood red
and as the her eyes did fall from mine
i held her close and sang this rhyme
"all good things do have their time
whats bad is when we think we ought
to hold to things for which we've sought
if only we could let things be
o the beauty we would see
i know this as i hold you fast
i know this moment will not last
so here i go
letting go
i know one day
we'll find our way
into each others arms"

why must i forget

I know not how such important things are forgot
my mind is saddened with the fact of this forgetfulness
but each time i am reminded
my heart is warmed like the first rays of sun
like reuniting with a long lost old friend
can such a feeling stay sustained
is this why i must forget
for my heart is not whole enough to know
the constant care the Creator bares

lovers rap

What worth is life without your love Now don’t confuse what I’m speaking of See it’s easy being sleazy and playing that you’re hurt But just because you cry Doesn’t mean it’s not a lie See before you were around I acted different then I do I wasn’t how I am How I am when your around When love is gone who can you trust When you are lonely who doesn’t lust Its hard staying true to who you are When no one around does give a damn See you help make me who I am You’re a witness to my soul Without you I louse control A sense of awareness escapes me If you’re not here with me presently Please say you’ll stay For now and every day And if you will I promise still To do all I can according to your will

Whats wrong with how I love?

Is there something wrong with how I love is my best no good at all is there such a thing as too much in regard to thoughtfulness Is equality too much to ask reciprocation too risky of an act Maybe when I said I love you and then you said it to me back maybe baby when we said those words we should have clarified the fact

thoughts on what i think

how little do i know in the face of my ignorance i am overwhelmed yet with my back against the void how cocky i become overcome but what i think i know o how my ego grows! so easily forgotten the error of my ignorance only when i pause can i find the time to search for the true cause but it is ever the elusive like water in the hands it slips between the fingers of my reasoning

the debt and reward of life

what thanks can i offer in return for this gift that is called life any gesture would surly be a token by comparison to the blessings which i receive at times i forget life is not one's circumstance but how one chooses to meet it in this amnesia i act out in anger, in fear clenching deeply, tense and anxious i hold my breath and see the world as an enemy i am thankful my God is not so easily swayed despite my childlike dramas called prayers in the face of my pleas for signs of assurance against my appeals for what i feel is right and just undeterred does the spirit follow in its path i am the rock which seeks (unknowingly) to block the waters way yet still it flows forward in the only way it can the way in which it always does now i am the weather worn rock the smooth pearl from dust which once was but a tickle in the throat of a clam i asked before, what praise i may voice to repay so kind a debt as life now i know to be no better form of compensation then to follow in earnest the guidance of ones heart for no finer form of currency exists then an example of a leader who knows only but to serve the callings of the spirit
