Sleep
breathe sweet rest
warm, softness caress
sleep glorious rest
renewed strength
renewed for another day
another day of life ahead
whatever it may be
Friend
I have friends....
but they aren't the ones
I run to when I feel my world is falling apart
I have friends
but they aren't the ones
that hold me when I'm crying
I have friends
but they aren't the ones
that hear me when I need to talk about something
I have a friend
though is not visible with my eyes
I have a friend
though I can't touch him
He is the friend...
my friend yes... and more
I don't have words to describe him
for all that he is... because there are no words that say it all
though at times
I wish I had someone who I can see
I wish I had someone that I could go and hug

Flower
If you were a flower
I'd pray to God that I were a tree
To shield you from life’s frequent showers
And forever protect thee

My Creator
You breathe you spoke it into being
you take the void the emptyness
your words and then.... there it is
it's there and its real
Lord how blind am I not to see
everywhere... all around
with all creation that cries with one sound
Lord how did I not see
the beauty... all around
its there and its real
I'm just a part of your grand design
I'm just a single voice a single heart
I am who I am you made me
though things may not be perfect
Lord I am a part of your masterpiece
I'm here and I'm trying to be real
Lord with wonder I stand in awe
Lord I can't understand it comprehend it
that you would make me....
you breathed, the words you spoke
when you formed me
Lord I am a part of your masterpiece
you know the begining and the end
Lord every word... every moment even before it comes to be
Lord how can I not be in awe of what I see
that this is real and it's there
Lord how blind am I not to see
everywhere... all around
with all creation that cries with one sound
Lord how did I not see
the beauty... all around
its there and its real
you breathed you spoke it into being
you take the void the emptyness
your words and then.... there it is
it's there and its real
Saturate (new version)
Lord Here I am
I'm hungry and so thirsty
Lord could I be so blind
not to truly see that which is me
I'm struggling here in this barren place
Lord my need for you is great
without you I suffocate
under the weight of my sin
Chorus
Lord Jesus I need you to come
Infiltrate and saturate this heart of mine
Lord Jesus I need you
More than I can ever say
Infiltrate and saturate me with you
I'm sick and tired of this feeling
I'm sick and tired of waking up
find I'm another day older
find that I'm no closer only feel farther
from your arms
chorus
I am struggling here
in my own filth and selfishness
I am struggling here
in my own pride
I am struggling here
to surrender everything
so you can change me
am I suffocating...????
saturate... me with you
infiltrate every part of me
leave no part left of untouched
by your grace by your hand
this time I'm giving up everything
there are no secrets here
there is no holding back
there is no going back
Its time for you and I to change
Its time for you Lord to come and change us
from the inside out....
Just Right Here
Do you hear a voice in the silence
Hear the whispers that echo in your heart
Telling you I am here
Chorus
I have never left you, you are never alone
I love you more than you can understand
I hold you in my hands
That I am closer than the air you breathe
I am just right here
Do you see the beauty in the world around you
Do you see the wonder of a new day
That even when the storms rage and your enimies surround you
That I am your peace even in the middle of your fear
chorus
You are my child you are mine
even in the dark of night
even in the middle of your sorrow and pain
I am here waiting to be your comfort and your strength
all you have to do is call on my name
chorus
I am just right here
never have I left your side
it was your choice if you walked away
I am just right here
I am just right here if you stay
Three lyrics thought I'd share with you all.... :)

I guess it isn't much
what I wish....
what I ask for....
how selfish I must sound
to others who read my thoughts
who hear the words
I guess it isn't much
what I wish
what I ask for...
is it that selfish
to want this and wish for this
feeling like I belong and I am apart
that I have a friend
someone to talk too
someone to do things with
is it so wrong to want this
is it so selfish to wish this
it can't be....
its just when I try
it doesn't work out
and again here I sit
the feelings of being so alone
creeping in again
washing over me like waves of torment
i know I'm not truly alone
yet the depths of my longing
for some human friend
are so deep so...agonizing
that many don't even understand
nor do they see it

Darkest Desire
He leaned over, and kissed Love goodbye
Love was always there, by his side, unselfish
But there was another calling his name
A sensation unfamiliar to his mind
He started out on his journey cautiously planning his route
Looking every which way checking his landmarks
Always making sure he could remember the road back
Yet as he ventured forth his way started to become unfamiliar and unnerving
As he turned back he didn’t recognize his steps,
Panic, clutching his chest, he began reeling in circles
Desperately trying to find a familiar, but all he saw was a dense darkness
Then she reached out and touched him… Desire
Desire was simplistic by nature, yet seized a degree of complexity that was unexplainable
The dark eyes, the radiating sensuality, and a soft soothing expression
The touch… was so… quietly explosive
And with that touch, Desire took his hand and began leading the way
Everything about Desire was envied by all,
Her confidence, beauty, and the deep intelligence behind those eyes.
Those eyes, those dark worlds of wonder, he knew how he could lost in just exploring those alone
And as she led him, there was a sense of excitement and danger drawing near
Enamored by Desires every step, every curve, every perfume filled scent
He was losing himself in her; Desire stopped and turned to him
Wordlessly she motioned him to lie down in the grass, a soft smile displayed on her plush lips
As he laid down, she went across the path and pulled away a patch of darkness
Through the gap a bright light was streaming through, and on the other side was Love
Desire went to him, laid down, and slowly embraced him with a passion that only she embodied
Lingering in the moment, he finally looked into her eyes, and slowly made his way to her mouth
As their lips connected their passions merged and flame engulfed them
As he lay with her, his eye caught the sight of Love
Love, her innocence, sweet tenderness, and beauty… what else did he want?
Desire, understanding and tasteful, slowly got up and began to descend into the places she surfaced
He stood there a moment, torn, wanting to follow Desire back into darkness
The light streaming from distorted darkness felt warm and inviting to him
So he turned to face Love, and began to make his way to her
With open arms she embraced him and repeated her name to him
Undeserving she accepted him because of who she was.

Lullaby
Lullaby, the moment’s here as sleep has overcome me
Take my hand and join me in this endless night of yearning
Lie with me Lullaby as we express our desires and I absolve your sins into me
Render yourself helpless to the storm passing over us; shift in the rhythm of the thunder
Embrace the fire of lightning and feel the intensity rise inside you
Together we’ll fall far below the realm of innocence.
Sing my Lullaby, sing; shout the chorus of love to me
In that love we’ll discover the mysteries that bind us
As the fire dies we’ll tremble a prayer for a rain to quench our burning
And as the embers cool we’ll hold as one, and wait the sun to cast its calling
Awake my dear the phoenix has risen, in the days how must we suffer
From the conscious dawn to the nights we’ve drawn, only in shadow we are together
Until then my dear, when the moon has come to take me back to sleep
Lullaby, don’t you cry, in dreams we are forever
Note: This one requires some explanation so if you are unfamiliar with or uncomfortable with this, let's discuss it.

To The Hypocrite
I looked at us as brothers
I thought that we were friends
We shared common ground of Jesus Christ
Your faiths not straight; I see it bend
You knock down those who are needy
And condemn those who are lost
You mock the wounds of the hurting
And you still don’t see the cost
Your heart is hard to tear drops
And soul’s as cold as ice
You scoff those not standing with you
Your accusations come with price
You’ve lost sight of Christ’s calling
The one thing we’re to do
Instead you judge as if you’re perfect
But soon His wrath will turn to you
So come back to the Lord our God
The one who loves us without shame
Understand that in His eyes we’re equal
Everyone in life has carried blame

The War is the Lords
No strength to carry on
As I’m face down in the mire
Here I lay upon the battlefield
My wounds they burn like fire
My armor’s split and dented
This shield is showing wear
The attackers are taking ground from me
There’s no fight in me to spare
As I lay there trampled under foot
Feeling the weight of sin’s defeat
The demons hold me to the ground
And say that my army’s’ in retreat
Despair starts to overwhelm me
How is it that we have lost?
We were fighting for the Holy One
Could my sins have been the cost?
But then I hear a powerful battle cry
Like sun breaking twilight at dawn
I turn my head to see Jesus the Christ
And His mighty sword is drawn
He charges the horde to rescue me
To deliver me from this sin
Then cradles me in His arms so close
And assures me we will win
Then he stands me up and wipes away
The mud that’s on my face
And as He smiles at me, He lifts His sword
And charges the frontline in my place
I stand there for a moment
As I watch Him battle on
To save the souls who fell like me
Those who feel they’re lost and gone
Then the Spirit falls upon me
And my strength has been renewed
I fall to my knees, lift my hands, crying out
“It’s time we end this feud”
Then our army charges up the field
To meet the Risen One
We’ll fight up to the gates of Hell
Until the battles fought and won

Armageddon
Seven years had come and gone
Satan’s time was at and end
The dragons’ forces had gathered all the numbers now
Up to Mount Zion they would ascend
The armies of Adonai had assembled
For the enemy they stand and wait
Chanting and shouting the war cries of their Lord
As it was the day to end all hate
When the dragon reached the mountain base
It taunted the Lord to fight
Out were the words of blasphemies
To slander the Creators’ might
Then something unexpected happened
That stopped all evil like a stone
The Lord let out a thunderous laugh
While displayed upon His throne
His stare bore into the Deceiver
And anger flashed as flame throughout His eyes
Then He stood up from His throne and yelled
“It’s time for your demise!”
“To long have you killed my children
And spilled their blood for your delight
This whole age you had grudge with Me
But now you’ll get your fight”
Then heavens shook and lighting struck
As He stood up from His chair
Battle ready, and armor strong
He climbed upon His mare
The Commander and Chief drew His sword
And thrust it toward the skies
And all of His angels, saints, and men
Charged Satan to fight his lies
After the battle was fought and won
And the blood flowed up horses’ reins
Jah grabbed the dragon by the neck
And bound him in holy chains
Then the first time since the dawn of light
The devil, on his knees, utterly bowed
And out of his mouth came, “Jesus is Lord”
It was the destruction of the proud.
Thereupon a light broke loose from the ashes
That remained from the holy fight
And from it rose the city of gold
That displayed the Father’s might
And from it came the Son of God
Jesus, the saving King
He healed the wounded and blessed the strong
And forever they did sing

Rebel’s Dawn
The gates of Hell were shaking
Ready to break from all the strain
Demons were swarming over them
It was their day to deliver pain
The Lord looked at His sinful world
The tears welled in His eyes
Then He called His children home to Him
Those who had not been trapped in all the lies
Then a mighty war horn sounded
And man was parted from the Lord
Hell’s gates broke loose, and the rebels came
And they put men to the sword
Then the rebels’ prince came forward
With ease he took his throne
From Babylon he ruled them
And people’s hearts became like stone
Satan sneered at God’s children
For them he had disdain
So he began to slaughter everyone
For these days were his claim
Then the devil looked to Heaven
And cursed the Holy One
“You think that you’re going to beat me?” he called
“I’ve waged war and now I’ve won!”
“You hide up in Zion like cowards.
You leave your children here to die
For all the **** you ever let them go through
I’m like the apple of their eye”
Disease and famine plagued the world
The Lord’s judgement rained on all
This once utopia fell apart
The reign of men had come to fall
As the years passed on in torment
The rebel’s dawn was losing light
Their time was drawing to a close
When the Lord would choose His fight.
NOTE: This one is actually the first of the trilogy, I made a mistake posting it

Twisted Angels
A look over here
A glance over there
These lustful temptations
Are too much to bear
All the sweet charming smiles
I just can’t resist
Yet I keep fighting my battles
With no strength to persist
These gifts from the Lord
Have been twisted by hell
Having lust after angels
Are the reason’s I fell
So Lord give me the courage
To let my spirit fly high
I’ll keep living for You
Until the day that I die.

i am but simple me
i am not much more
as far as i can see
in the mirrors reflection
i see the me that i just am
not who i wish to be
i wish i knew
what it is that you see
when you look at me
something that maybe
but only if I agree with you
and yet may never happen
i just wish i knew
i don't see much
just plain simple me
who can't do much of anything
though i try so hard at times
for many people its never good enough
so is it good enough for you
or am i just falling short
just like i always do

you stare back at me with gentle eyes
the eyes that see all that is or was or ever will be
i am fixed by your gaze i can't seem to look away
nor do I want too
when my eyes are on you
peace, love, joy, and hope fill me over flowing
even in the midst of pain and suffering there is you
and when i put my eyes on you things seem to disapear
i find release from my cares....
the load doesn't seem so heavy anymore
and all is well again even though it hasn't left
things still seem better
i don't want to look away again
at the maddness that surrounds me
the things that only make me want to hide
i don't want to look away again

I am looking for poetry and lyrics that anyone is interested in setting to music. I am a music writer but, not good at all with words and lyrics. I am only interested in non-copyrighted, amateur material. I'm not in this to make $$$, just to glorify God. Please reply by PM or e-mail. Thanks!

Hello!
I'm hearing a lot of my own feelings coming out. I understand about just having to get the words and thoughts out before they blow up in your face. There's a poem that I started writing in my mind several years ago, and only recently did I finally put it on paper. Normally, I'm just the opposite. As soon as an idea comes to me, I write down a line or two, then develop it, edit it, and when I'm happy with it--and only then--will I share it with anyone. My passion in life is writing; I started when I was six, and haven't stopped since. Some people write to live; I live to write. It sounds like you know those feelings of incompleteness and unrest in your soul when there are words fighting to be said/read. Keep on writing. We each have something worth saying; and for me, at least, it's much easier to say it on paper than in the spoken word.

I watch the stars tonight
I look into the quiet pool
my solitude and the loneliness
engulfs me now surrounding me
I take a breath,let it out again
I close my eyes
wishing when I opened them
that things weren't the way they are
these dark days and nights would soon end
I'm tired of being wet, cold and alone
like some lost puppy wishing for a place to call home
like a child who just wants to be held
breeze blows it blows through me
I stand to see the depths below
I look to see the stars again
wishing just once that this night would end

Rotating
Moving diagonally
Shaking, forever shaking
These scars seem not to fade
What time is it?
One more just one more!!!!
Standing still too long provokes something deep inside
If you were I and I were you
What place is this where doors and windows are barred from the inside?
Now begins the silence

Frantically rummaging through what remains
Searching for something more
The slow melody vibrating from the speakers
The lounge chairs we never use
The water drips from the faucet
Mind games keep us at arms length
Creeping down flights of stairs
I shutter to think where all this leads

Popping and crackling
Smoke rises on the horizon
I see red
The trees sway
Can you hear the roar of the burning within?

I am just simple foolish me
When I try I only fail and fall
I am just simple foolish girl
Who gets in the way
Who is old yet seems young
Who isn't ever really heard
Who is never really understood
I am just simple foolish me
I only fail, I only fail
To try again is insanity
I am just simple foolish me
i know fear all to well
he haunts me like shadow
that I can't detach and leave behind
a memory that is ever forward in my mind
I am just foolish me
you look at me with wide eyes
as fear grips me in its hold
yet i know that fear and the story so often told
I am a fool I am a fool
I can do nothing right
I sit and watch as you do things
But I can do nothing
just a fool a fool
that's me the freakshow
who can do nothing right
who says it all wrong all the time

Innocence swept away
Broken dreams rattle in bottles floating at sea
The blind leading the blind
Cattle cars filled to capacity
Frivolously searching for that which lies right in our face
Smacked around a bit
Falling from the clouds
We sway in unison
Tomorrow brings rain
