Sparks Fly

Fireworks aren't always instantaneous. 

Sometimes, you have to assemble the fireworks one ingredient at a time 

& then, after a while, a moment of spontaneous combustion takes place 

as the hearts of two people ignite into a beautiful showpiece of love & real life. 

Yeah, I think the best fireworks, the awe inspiring, great romantic ones, 

burst out of the accumulation of hard work & intentional loving. 

The kind of loving that doesn't come easy. 

The kind of loving that's hesitant at first, 

but slowly and softly opens the heart to find 

what it never knew it desired.

I am not afraid of you

 Closing the distance between you and me,

Bewildered by the act of my unplanned bravery.

One thing I know for sure to be true.

You scare me more than anyone, but I am not afraid of you.

The air is cold and I can barely breath,

But somehow I manage to form words to speak.

Your eyes draw me in, soft and blue,

You scare me more than anyone, but I am not afraid of you.

I want to run away from your charm,

I want to hide away in your arms,

I want to memorize every moment until you're out of view,

You scare me more than anyone, but I am not afraid of you.

Courageously I rescue my heart before it's too late.

There's something about you, but I'm going to choose to wait. 

The compass of my feelings never guided me to towards truth.

You scare me more than anyone, but I am not afraid of you. 

I take a step back making a gap between you and me,
Time will only tell, whatever the outcome may be,

One thing I can promise, no matter what we may go through.

I'm not afraid of anything- not even afraid to be scared of you.

Time- we're through

I've had plenty of time

to write this petty rhyme

in love with you without me.

I've had plenty of time

to make up my mind

reasoning my sleepless dreaming.

I've had plenty of time

to collect a million dimes

for every thought i've gambled on you.

I've had plenty of time

to think of every reason why

no other love would ever do.

If time was mine i'd make you mine.

So I'm cashing in my dimes

I never meant to hurt you time, but

It's not me, it's you-

Time- we're through.

Incongruent heart

Heart, why do you give yourself away without a hand to take it?

Heart, why can you not seem to comprehend love is more than what you make it?

Heart, you're friendlier than me.

Heart, tell me your secrets, tell me how you love so easily.

You. Yes, eyes reading,

speeding,

feeding upon my thoughts and feelings.

My heart says hello and wants to have coffee.

This is a weird poem.

Nothing even rhymes with poem.

Let's get deep.

Heart, read em and weep. 

Wait for a hand to sweep me off my feet..

Let me tell you.

let me tell you about you,

not what you are or what you do.

i'm going to tell you about the who in you,

believe me or not, you know it's true.

close your eyes,

listen awhile,

let me tell you about you

you're a masterpiece, a work of art,

you're a giant of faith with a marshmallow heart.

are you listening, can you see it too?

let me tell you more about you.

you see, i can see, not just who you are, but who you're meant to be.
you were made for amazing things.
you were made for me.
but more so, you were made for all the world to see.
let me tell you more about who you're meant to be.


you're meant to be a risk taker,
you're meant to be a peace maker,
you're meant to be a world changer,
you're meant to be fearless when you're most afraid.
you're meant to yell at the top of your lungs, declaring your heart out in boldness and love.
you're meant to love.
you're meant to be loved by me,
the one who can tell you who you're meant to be.


let me tell you one more thing,
you are brilliant.
you are smart.
you're resilient.
you're going to make it and be,
your purposed creation and destiny.


let me tell you about you,
you're not what you are or what you do.
you're who you're meant to be.
be it, lead the world, set them free.

When it gives all that it's got.

                   

I've got this ♥ sometimes I don't know what to do with.
Should I give it free will?
or forget it ever could feel?
I can't decide or make up my mind,
if feeling is actually worth the while,
if the consequences of this ♥ is really worth the cause.
Yet even when i'm so aware
my ♥ seems to live a life of its own- 
uncontrollably loving-
and when it doesn't get what it wants-
painfully shunning.
And when it gives all that it's got,
hoping to be filled with a love from another ♥
When it's so ready to be wanted,
blinded, with closed eyes, to my ♥ 's surprise
it stops. 
Oh, that ♥ was nothing but vain.
how can love be after gain?
what is my ♥ left to remain?
let not my love be in vain.
When it gives all that it's got,
wishing to be filled with a love from another ♥
no matter how hard it fought.
What do I do with this ♥?

If I was queen.

Love paints the sunset

my heart is drawn to fields that 

we run through and just let 

heaven do the talking.

The dark shade of blue fades into the sky

the mystery gazes into our eyes.

Spread out under telephone wires

watching distant burning fire.

The stars, they hung there all wild,

like beautiful sounding music, from the telephone wires.

I looked up and thought

 'wouldn't it be neat if we could play the stars"?

In the dark, I thought,

'I bet that'd sound amazing, if I could sing the stars."

I don't know what their song might be,

But I will sing.

We belong,

We belong,

We are strong and burning brighter.

Don't give into defeat,

You have your own kind of beauty,

Live like you were queen,

Sing your heart,

Play the stars,

They reveal who you are,

Who you are, you belong.

To Be Known

To be loved is to be known and to be known is to be loved. 

I don't know you, but i would like to get to. 

We could converse about things that have meaning,

We could declare something wild if our hearts could start singing.

We could secure our place in the heavens and rejoice in our youth

And take charge of this planet in what is ours and the truth.

I could tell you about star's and you could tell me about heaven,

I would listen with all my heart and get to know you more intensely. 

I don't know you, but I would like to get to.

Because, to be loved is to be known and to be known is to be loved.

Within our union we could take on the world and start a revolution.

I would like to be known by you. 

In your truth. 

Know me.

And I will know you.

You were made for amazing things.

And I was made for the same.

We were made to be known to our core,

and in our knowing we were made to be loved by Him.

This could be great. 

I know it. 

I will wait.

I will be patient.

I will love and know you more.

love you,

I will be known to my core.
