Wrath of Lion

perhaps
the solitude i enjoy
is merely despair
in disguise.

The Burning

come to me,
oh Lord,
that i might know you.
arm me,
not in the ways of this world
but in your Word,
so that instead of relying
on my emotions,
which are easily manipulated
and changed,
i can rely on your Promise,
which does not ever change.

it was a year ago;
do you remember
that phone call?
all of what we dreamed,
undone,
in five minutes.
i try to sleep at night
believing you told him
everything
but
i lay awake because
i really cannot be sure
you could be so brave.
i only pray
that if you do tell him
it doesn’t undo
all of what you dreamed,
too.

i wonder why they say to drink to forget;
i’ve only ever found myself at the bottom
of the bottle
trying to remember you.

i have failed
at many things
in my life
but,
perhaps the one failure
i am most proud of
is being unable
to unlove you.

you traded
your freedom
and your voice
for safety.

was it worth it?

are you any happier now?

i really don’t think you’re going to like the ending.

maybe there are people
that are just too broken,
too hurt,
too full of anger
and disappointment
to love again.
i wonder what will happen
to those people.
i wonder
what will
happen
to
me?

i understand.
i had to lose them all
and learn to love the trees,
the mountains,
the sea,
the flowers,
the stars.
i had to learn to love the wild
so i could love the wild
in you.

The Crow

Allow me,
little flower,
to carry your pain
even if it is only
for a little while.
You cannot bloom
with so heavy a heart
and mind.
Allow me to shoulder it,
little flower.
Empty your eyes,
so full of sadness
and bitterness,
upon me
so that for once,
even if for a moment,
you are not carrying your world
alone.
