Poems that I've written over the years...

Your Silent Tongue

Speak to me with your meaningful gaze.
This clamor of feelingless words becomes even more shallow when compared to the language of your soul.
Let me in your world, and I will wish for your tongue to speak silence forever.
Teach me of your heart with your hands and your veiled mind.
I fear to understand the hauntings of it, yet I cannot turn away from the purity in your music.
Though one may see an embodiment of pain, past that is a dying will for contentment.
I must learn to speak with the depth of this silent tongue and confine my words to my pen, where they spiritedly flow.
My words are limited to a shallow man's definition, but the soul is our real free speech.
I beg of you to shine a light into the darkness of your complexity.
A journey such as this is an arduous one, yet I feel the desire is worth it-the hope of the unreachable.
Keep your soul silent no longer.

The Dwelling Place In My Mind

I want to learn the curves of your soul.
As starlight pours through the heavens, I wish to touch the light beaming from your eyes, though it would burn me to the core.
The coolness of the air cuts through me sharply.
Staring into the vast oblivion, a sigh escapes me, causing a warm mist to filter through the air.
The words that I feel will not fall to the paper anymore.
This flame ignited in my heart will never be put out.
I wish to rearrange my thoughts to make them less confusing.

Deprecating Tergiversation

The annoyance is beating my head.
My skin is frozen to the core.
I feel myself slipping away into an oblivion of ponderous withdrawal.
I need to be near you.
I am a stranger wandering through a rhythmic hole.
Please stop re-opening my wounds.
Weariness holds down my spirit like hunger gorging my stomach.
I feel too much, and say too little.

Diffidence

Absolve my diffidence-
Hateful vacuum.
Char my poetic resemblance of a soul.
Hollow out this empty room.

Take not advantage of me
In your conceitful selfishness.
You parade souls of inequity
But harbor plans of lying resplendence.

Waste away your indignant self-pity,
Caressing your poisoned chambers.
Burning knives couldn't separate you from it,
Though longingly it severs.

Possess my diffidence once again, vile wrath.
After your elusive boasting vaguely heard,
I will arise shaken,
But not stirred.

Thrill

We are so different, yet equal.
So similar, but not the same.
The thrill of this dissonance,
Sparks the desire in me, raw and untamed.

Seduce me yet again,
The innocent seduction of faultless attraction-
Stirring inside of me to the core,
An ambiguous drive of reserved passion.

Possess me with your eyes...
The temptation of starving flesh.
Breathe in me the life of want,
Until our souls mesh.

Your lips graze my cheek
And my body melts into a pool of liquid desire.
I succumb to this unexpected helplessness,
And my instability rises higher.

My seeming detraction,
Sends me drowning in the intoxication of specious reality.
I beg of you to vanquish me
In this infernal, barren mortality.

The Wait

Sitting here in my anxiousness,
Wallowing in self-doubt,
Excitement builds up within me,
As I watch you come out.

My heart is bursting;
It's impossible to contain.
Pure joy and delight,
Have my weaknesses slain.

I see you in the distance
And I can't help but smile.
It's been a long, long wait,
But I know it's well worthwhile.

The minutes tick down,
As our time is drawing nearer.
And more anxiety rushes in
As my future is getting clearer.

The wait is almost over,
I can hear each step you take.
My heart is overflowing...
I hope I never awake.

Judgement Day

Hello, my friend,
I don't believe I caught your name.
You say you talk to me when you feel bad.
And you bring me all your pain.

I remember someone like you,
Whom I know everything about.
I loved them unconditionally,
And knew them without a doubt.

But that someone, whom I faintly recall,
Turned away from me sometime ago.
I begged them to return to me
But, alas, they befriended my foe.

I kept on seeking them;
I knew their time was short,
But their sin kept them running-
The very thing I died for.

Now today is Judgement Day,
And you are my long lost friend.
If only you would've loved me on earth,
Then your life would never end.

But today I shall say to you,
Simply-"I do not know you."
You had your chance and turned away,
Leave me now, and go to your fiery doom.

Love Poem to Jesus

Lord, I awake and you are the sun in my sky.
I go through my day, with you leading me, hand-in-hand.
You will never take me down the wrong path,
And when I go to sleep at night,
You hold my hand and sit with me,
And watch over me all night.
Just as I'm going to sleep,
You whisper sweet words of love to my heart.
I fall asleep with precious thoughts of you, permeating my dreams.
And when days get tough, and I seemingly can't go on, you pick me up and carry me on.
I dream about the day we can truly be together.
Every day I prepare myself to be united with you in Heaven.
You are the face of love, my Jesus,
You're the one I most desire.
You fill me whenever I call on your name.
You're the only one who truly knows me.
Thank you for all of your love letters, Lord.
And even though I do things I shouldn't sometimes,
We are made for each other.
You're my best friend.
