Sense of Love

She touches a soul like piano keys

Unlocks the potential of a heart

Though what is visible is only black and white

She speaks truth that never asks for proof

And when she sings she’s the mystery of dawn

Her whispers are comfort when the sound of applause fade

Her touch flows to the core of a soul

She sings and you are lured away

She speaks though she finds none to say

She loves quietly

Soothes her longings silently

She lost her voice

Stumbles in darkness

Still bound to play the keys of a heart

And make souls aware of silent sound

The only sense she’ll never lose is the sense of love

The touch that is never forced to spring forth in sound

The touch that only hurts when it is unwilling to sacrifice

The touch bound to praise

To answer the call of unending  grace

Memories

Will I reach out and touch you

in the memories of our days together

As I stare into the nothingness 

of what we become

I cannot mirror myself in this no longer

As the sight of you in the stream of my tears

are too much to bear..

What do you do

when the weight of love drags you

to the bottom of the ocean

drowning in the memory of you?

.....The sound of your voice...

The lines of your hands which I read as a love letter...

The sensation of your fingers caressing my lips

How your hands traced every curve of my body...

as you drank from the well of my mouth

quenching your thirst with every sensation...

I miss admiring your beauty

and seeing love flow from your eyes...

I miss your hand in mine

as we silently opened up our hearts to love

Will you return to me

Hold on to me

To re-live those days

when every sacred moment

were just you and me

Close the Distance

Are you standing at the doorway
do you hope to find a reason to believe
is the distance getting closer
are you entering the spaces in between

touch my face
caress my skin
get a little closer
cause i know this love will not fade away

if i ever fall
i will fall for you
fall deeper into you
and if i ever run
i will run to you
if ever i give myself away
it'll be only to you

are you losing  false security
are you mesmerized by what you see inside
did you ever think there's a way to love
and that i would be the one to love you more

go deeper  than 
you once believed
lose yourself in love
cause i know this love will not fade away

if i ever fall
i will fall for you
fall deeper into you
and if i ever run
i will run to you
if ever i give myself away

do you know that there's a promise
do you know that there's a chance
do you know that there's a change inside of me

if i ever fall
i will fall for you
fall deeper into you
and if i ever run
i will run to you
if ever i give myself away
it'll be only to you

cause if i ever cry
i will cry for you
if life breaks your heart in two
if i ever break
i will break for you
if i ever love
you will be my reason to

Turn Around

Why don’t you tell me what you really think

How you really feel

I’m losing control

Is this reality

Turn around and look at me

Baby, are you leaving me

Do not feed me lies now

Pretense won’t save us now

I was wrong

Now my owned strength is gone

Sometimes you underestimate your words

Cos you think you have power

But after every thing is said

The rain falls harder

I know I really messed up

Baby, can you hear me

Is it just me or are you fighting my embrace

So, what now

I’m suffocating in the weight of regret

If you can

Let me breathe

If you’re willing

In something better

Believe

Courts of Love

Lock me in the courts of love

with your eyes..

Hold me captive

til we lose all sense of time

Touch me deeper

than what I’ve known before..

Let your love awake the passion

that’s been longing to escape

In the burning hours of the night

I will breathe your love

May I touch your lips

May I hold you near

as I let go of the fear

As I break down these walls

to let you in

Take me..

Touch me..

Hold me like you’ll never let me go

Life

Life is a song I choose to sing

Beauty to unveil

Breath that God alone can give

Spoken words

Written words

Inspiring words

And even unspoken words

Life is locked up in the silence

In devotion of praise

and humbleness of prayer

Life is laughter

A longing for life found in many

A zest for life I have found

In all of life’s insanity

I have found that the essence of my being is love.

Trust

I touch you

But how do I reach your heart?

I just want to close the distance

That's keeping us apart.

Will you let me reach deeper?

Or keep closing your eyes?

Why don't you see

I'll never keep you under

or strangle you with lies

I just want to love you

and I know you love me too

But I can't break through your eyes

You won't let me baby...why?

Why do you hold back?

Please trust

Don't build this wall

Cause the higher it gets

the harder I fall

When you hold me close

I feel your love

Then you speak...tell me you love me

I see it in your eyes

I always look away

before you see me cry

Cause my love flows deeper than you know

and I wonder if it's safe to tell you so?

It's always in the deeper touch

that we find the security we need

So let me love you

Let me tell you so

without holding back..

or the fear that maybe you don't

Take my hand

Let me in

Even when the lights go down

and you can't see my face

In tose momets..speak

Trust

Feel

Break

Just be..

Maybe you are scared

because the hurt cut so deep

But all I know is I love you

and I want you to know
