Greater

oh help me God,
look past my unfaithful love,
look past my pride, oh how it
blinds my sight
look past my faults, oh
how engulfing they are

it is your hand i seek,
in the profundities of my heart,
how many a beloved loved
but so few in love,
so i make no claims to love,
you, as you love me, for in all loftiness
your Love of all things great is
greater.

I wish...







Download

Wish you were mine from the start,
Like heaven wrote our names on the
Throne but time wrote us apart,
I wish you were there with me,
When my heart began to echo your name
So I could, feel your warmth, and wonder,
perhaps your heart echoed the same

I wish I knew your name from before,
I'd whisper it under my breaths again
and again, I wouldn't tire or bore,
I wish I had known your visage, your face
I would imagine it in all that I see,
Like the world was to be found in one place

I wish but i wish no longer,
Your heart's now nestled in mine
And everyday its love grows stronger
Lord, I wish you'd keep this love flowing,
I'd rather live and love than die not knowing
Remembering your name, as the
The kernel of my soul remains forever glowing

Lord, light the candles of my heart,
For of what value is life, i ask
If you are not by my side,
If I am not by yours, our hearts unallied
And what of love? Bewitched by its snares
Raptly staring into its eyes, as it stares

I would envisage all that is you in me,
In everything that I see around,
echoes of your name,
permeations of your sound
In search of true love,
I would cleave our hearts open,
Cleave to your love hoping

It would never end.

Words

it's not what was said, but who said it

it's not what was said, but who said it,
how sweet it is to be murdered by the
poisonous dagger of your enemy
than to be wounded by the one to
whom your heart harbours love
frail strikes and lasting wounds,

words

what then of actions and feelings?
