The Words

The words come
Faster, faster
My fingers gowing wings
The clacking of the keys
Drowning out all thought
Beautiful words

A time when the mind
Opens
Free to express
To love it's words
Alone

To fix what might be said
To perfect
Shining enlightenment
Helping them to grow
Taller
Thicker
Flawless
Perfect words

The clacking stops
My fingers cease
Relentless beating
Of the keys
I read what has come
What has surfaced
What I believe

These words feel true
Feel right
Light shines
Between those lines
The words send
Love

Then dark comes
Forboding
No one will listen
They are closed
Dark themselves
Unsure
Stuborn
Relentless
Is there a point
To sharing my heart?

Yes
Someone will listen
Will see
Will feel
They are open
They won't fear
The light of these words

My finger drifts
From delete
I know some will beat me
Down

For saying
For loving enough to share
These words

The one
He who listens
Is worth it
Is beautiful
Is worthy of the words

My faith in the one
In the words
Begins to burn

My mouse drifts

Clicks

The words speak.

Across A Page

Dancing notes
Cover a page
They challenge me
To take the Stage
To shine my light
Across the sea
And try to be all I can be

A sudden hush
Falls over the crowd
As the intro starts
That silence is loud
It makes a roaring
In my ears
It makes me want to disappear

As my entrance comes
I take that breath
I realize that I'll make it yet
More than that, I can win
Show them all who to put faith in

To lead with words
With music and voice
Can't turn back now
I have no choice

I think to that music
Dancing over the page
And remember how
To take the stage

I think to the way it made me feel
And decide that what I share will be real
I want them all to know what it means
Those words and emotions, flowing with ease
As if I'm the writer I begin my song
And the message I'm sending can't go wrong

I forget the faces,
The silence,
The nerves
I hear nothing but music
See nothing but words
I know they feel
What I'm feeling now
As I dance with the music
Making it proud

Dancing notes
cover a page
They challange me
To take the stage
To share my light
And strive to become
Someone who shares
That music that loves

Bring On

Bring on the memories

Biting at my mind

They burn me and they turn me

As I search and try to find

A reason or a solace

For me to find escape

From the worries

And the stress

That daily life creates.

Bring on the solace

That I've worked so hard to gain

From the sifting and the searching

And from going against the grain.

Not a shield from other people

But a shield against the dark

A sheild to protect my loved ones

One to defend my heart.

Bring on the losses

That no person can avoid

That come with loving others

And having no ability to decide

The choices of your loved ones

And the paths that they will take.

They will help or they will hurt you:

It's often your heart that will break.

Bring on the joy

That everyone desires

The joy that I have looked for

The goal of many liars.

They will search and they will fail

Because they do not understand

That joy comes from being truthful

And living only by Love's hand.

Bring on the memories

That burn me from the past

That bring sadness

That bring happiness

And reconciliation at last.

Jealousy

It creeps and crawls it's way into your heart

Then it gnaws and it claws and it tears it apart

Like an angry beast that tries to get out

It brings you too close to screaming out loud

Frustration and fear; you don't even know why

That beast inside you is making you cry

Brought to life by betrayals, good looks, and old soars

It grows and it fights and it bites and it roars

You try to fight off that monster inside

But it keeps coming back, because you can't hide

From the pain and the wishing that sets, and that burns

You think you're free, but then it returns

The truth is the monster is in your head

He wispers and taunts and fills you with dread

And when you believe him, that's when he'll strike

That flaming inside you that's so hard to fight
