Frugal
With my words
Learning
New ways of seeing
Of expression.

Oh Lord may it be so
I will live like
I am shadowed by love
And dream like
I have an eternity.

The other side
Do you believe
My love for you
Is love for an idea?
Something fleeting,
Something with a short shelf-life?
I wonder
What is it like
To be someone’s crush?
I love you so very much.
How does that feel to you?

Impact
As I read the words of others
As I am moved
I can’t help wonder
How others read my words.
I wonder
Do I move you
As I pour myself out?

Corny love song
I’m so scared of being alone;
I love you
But you don’t love me,
Repeated to infinity.
The age-old cry:
Why me?
It isn’t fair.
I just want to love
And not to be lonely
Is that too much to ask?

Leviathan
Blue lake
Water reflecting purple mountains
Strong wind ripples the surface;
It almost looks like it is simmering,
Like some giant leviathan from the deep
Is about to rise.

Daily worries
Sagging, bowed
Beneath all the essential
I feel weak.
Time seems to stretch before me.
I feel frantic.
When do I get to play?

Where are the answers?
I thought
I would find the answers.
In the end,
I believed
It would all make sense.
Instead
I find myself
Clutching at questions,
Blindly groping
Hoping to find some light
Somewhere…
God, please can I find some clarity
Somewhere…

Depression
What can I show you all?
What is acceptable?
I cry inside
Not daring to let it show.
I dread the question:
How are you.
And even more my answer:
I’m ok.
Am I lying to you
Or to myself?
Why don’t tears
Ever come at an appropriate time?
