Smile, wild child

The ride is gonna get wild

You’re Fire’s Prey

Child pray

Run and play

And play and run

You’re of the age to join the fun

I admire your desire to dance in the fire

As the music turns primal desire burns

Your bare feet trample barren earth as you circle the fire with flames flickering in your eyes

Young warrior arise!

Your heart beats to the warrior’s drum. Only native poets know the song that’s being sung.

Find your sound and find your song. Your heart is about to begin a journey arduous and long.

Run, my son, run. Over every desert path and under scorching sun.

Yours is a path that only you can run

Follow the spirit of the fire

Never forget where you were born but always climb higher

Over cracked earth and trembling mountain

Through hidden valleys and secret fountains

Find the hidden ways and the ancient paths

The adventure is yours but you are not alone

My spirit will guide you to the ends of the earth

If you do not fear the second birth you will not fear the second death

When all seems lost remember your Father’s Fire and breathe the Spirit’s breath 

How did I come to stumble upon your beauty, Oh God
You hid yourself in front of me the whole time
Always near, never proud
Your beauty concealed became your beauty revealed
Wonderfully hidden, your heart waited for me to give in

You are so beautiful yet you chose to be lowly
You dared not demand, you waited for my heart to turn to you slowly
You wooed me when you could have bruised me
You chose to hide, even though your beauty had the right to demand all of my attention

You reveal yourself more in the depths than in your ascension

Hidden beauty, you see right through me
I can’t believe you would choose me
What a lovely fate
Yet, your heart would not demand my love
You would choose to wait
You would choose to wait and wait some more
You would wait for my heart to journey
For my deep longing to explore
While you yearned for me to choose you
You desired my love in return to be freely given
So your beauty remained hidden
Until the day I would find you

Oh, now that I have found you I will never let you go
I’ll keep you close. I’ll love you most.
I’ll hold you tightly, I’ll esteem you rightly
I’ll chase you and I’ll find you and I’ll always remind you
Of how much my little heart loves to love you

Now that I have found you, I really hope you will stay
That you would be with me day after day
We belong together you and I
Like wildflowers in a garden

Your eyes are so ardent
Just let me touch the hem of your garment
I need you near
I need you to stay
I don’t want a momentary visit. I don’t want a touch that’s fleeting
I want you to stay and hold me so close that I hear your heart beating
I want to hear the heart that is my healing

That is what I want to be feeling 

You have loved me for so long
In the quiet
In the waiting
In my temptations and my straying
But you were always there… patiently praying
That one day I would turn and see you
That I would see the love you have always been displaying
For so long you kept your beauty hidden
But now my eyes have finally seen you
And I admit I am irrevocably smitten

There are words I try to find
There are words I hide behind

My soul is waiting to find the words I’m chasing
But it’s more than words and its more than sound
It’s the spirit that leads me when I don’t want to be found

I think Im finding the lies I’m unwinding
I’m blind and I’m hiding and all I want to do is travel
But you know my heart is at the tipping point
And I’m about to unravel
You chose mercy because you know I’m fragile

Everything inside of me is breaking
so you can have my heart, it’s yours for the taking
I’ve always been yours and I’ve kept you waiting

I’m sorry it took so long
You and I have known all along

I belong to you

And there is no escaping

Sometimes I listen to music that makes me want to fall in love 

Sometimes

Sometimes my heart says yes when I thought it would say no

Sometimes my eyes cry when I  don’t want them to

Sometimes my heart flows poetic and I cant find the words still

Sometimes your eyes find my heart and I feel like a knight without his armor 

Sometimes I’m vulnerable 

Sometimes the pain of not loving is worse than the pain of love lost

Sometimes I think way too much

Sometimes I feel too deeply

Sometimes I don’t let myself feel deeply enough 

Sometimes the dreams are just so beautiful that it hurts to stare so I awake to harsh reality faster than I should

Sometimes…I catch myself singing to the rhythm of my heartbeat and I realize the disconnect

Sometimes I let go of perfection to finally embrace beauty 

Sometimes I just let go

Your heart is a hammock and I want to sway there to the gentle rhythms of your love for me
Your eyes are stars piercing through the dark night of my soul

Every moment with you is a gift
Every second- a precious get-away

Like a sailor at sea I endlessly explore the uncharted waters of your love for me
I travel the heights and widths and depths of your love. This romance beckons me deeper.
Endless oceans play their songs and I cant help but be swept along
The wind pulls the sails
Chasing the horizon going deeper into the heart of the sun. The only begotten sun.
Deep calls out to deep as waves sway me into an eternal dance. I’m entranced and I no longer search for a harbor

My heart floats on hope. Faith pulls this broken vessel onward. Love draws me deeper. I’m lost in love but I’ve been found. It doesn’t matter where I go as long as you are there.

I peer over the bow, chasing the sun, feeling the rhythms, tasting the air… my heart feels like heaven. Life hits my lungs as I breathe in freedom

Love is a journey

You are love
You are the journey
You are my journey
And the journey is endless

I breathe again and journey into endless love

Take my fragile heart and hold it
Take my calloused heart and mold it
Take my heart of stone and melt it before your throne
Take this broken wounded heart that’s bleeding and fill me with the love I am needing

Take the heart I gave away to other lovers, you can have it all now I want no others.
Take my heart full of darkness and flood it with the purest light and cleanse my heart-mess
Take the heart that I was supposed to give you a long time ago.
Take the heart that was always supposed to be yours.


Take what belongs to you. Take it all. I can’t reject your kindness anymore. 
I’m tired of you chasing me. I think I’m going to yield. I think I’m going to bend.
I’ve been running away for so long and I’m ready for it to end.
Possess this stubborn heart of this stubborn man.
Take this wounded bleeding heart and hold it in your wounded bleeding hands.
