With only you

The other night I thought to myself

How wonderful it has been to be

With only you

And to be away from a world of revolving screens

Where noone but me

Knows what they want

Except you in regards to me

Sometimes you shine, most beautifully

All the words ever sent your way

In a descriptive manner

My Saria found

Represent you yes

But are more than just that

They are the reflections of God

Which you and I both find resound

Your beauty is

Not your own so I find

My sweet embodied reflective garden sprite

It is memory and poignance and time and light

And your innermost being

As I've seen how it shines

And I love it

A cafe tanka

Bitter coffee is
Not a sign of purity
But rather remains
A sign of time and brown heat
Bublbling over till unend

Words on the shelf

What uninspired words of man

Could possibly evoke

A lasting change in me

None of these

There are none on that shelf

Which I currently see

Even the ones I once loved

For they are all just memories

Instead I find that its in faith

That its reflection within

Which makes the word most specific

And makes me relive it again

The Vision Of

I'm am called to speak

To offer myself

To embody to be

To lead

Only towards that which is Christ

And that which I always expect the vision to be

A place of true comfort and contentment and trust

I walk in that direction

Just because it must be

Always

With a glance at her eyes

I feel as it

I was floating at sea

Looking out only

Into the abyss of blue

When really all I needed to do

Was turn around and paddle with trust

Into you

My island of shattered green

Your eyes are more stunning than anything I could've ever imagined before

I am I will

The day I let myself be

After what I've already perceived

As a failue of being

On that day I will be someone else

Devoid of thought

And afraid of not feeling

On the day which I let myself finally be

I am I will

As I have never yet been

Free

Reflection in water

My half-moon heart

Shines less brightly without

The smell of your hair in my senses

The shape of your water in my riverbed

To myself

I need not

I fear not

I worry not

Bout being there

Where I should be

Has ever been

Where I am meant

I need no more

My time will come

As turns the earth

This newness now

Unborn will be

Until in bursting

My day is forth

I'll fear no missing such

Excluded need

You couldn't possibly understand

The old me I don't need

The word

Christ is not a book you pick up only when you feel like reading. He is the word itself, and the foundation of language. Our very being is his speech.

Without me in Bold

My heart hurts most

When I see the life of living

Without me in bold

I've always had this love hate for time

But since you arrived

I never want to let a moment of you go

Without you

Now more than ever

I no longer wish to grow old

Not for an instant apart

Desire of

It took years

For ambition to catch

Me by the ankle

And pull me out

Of my mother freedom

From responsibility

And yet

How I want

More than ever now to say

That a building is mine

And that I am that which makes

Not useless things

But new men out of old

And true legacy of something

Out of broken misfit nothings

My desire is this

In passing

No and yes

Do I wonder where you are?

No

Do I wish you well and far away?

Yes

Very much so

You are not the only one who goes

Or should

Houses homes tankas

My heart is neither

Meant for slums nor bright stained glass

For brick and mortar

Unintelligently placed

My homeface will outlast

When the day falls

Fear not

Even when the day falls

Where the mountains come

Walking down the hills of their siblings

For the end is good

And no good review would remain such

If the dream did not wake

If the day did not fade

And if you did not go

For we are all just awaiting

Either one coming or going of home

Self unawares

My optimism is such

So easily for others

That I leave myself behind

And never tell anyone

That I was lost all along

Am I really free?

A swing

We men know an unbalanced thing

When a ladder isnt going to crash

And the kind of jumping rope

From which you swing

And we see it all the time

From around the age of five

Until the day we die

We know pie before its even pie

Because as men we were born to taste

Either one or all of all the baked things

I say this now because I see the swing

Endless burn

A man can burn only so much

Before hes five dollars worth of ash

And noone can tell him to stop lighting matches

Such a flame is a choice

And to be managed as such

Since incineration is such a very personal thing

And as for me

I always strike

I must

This obseasive mind is awful sometimes
