Hope is:
The object of our desires
Faith is:
The assurance it is possible
Love is:
When hope is lost
Our actions seem futile
It is what remains
Love never fails
Love Never Fails

Listening
Headlight beams travel cross my room.
Speeding across the wallpaper at night
Who is the person behind this luminence
Is she on her way home with family dinner?
Is he returning from a long trip out of town?
Unique voyages for each beam of light
Across the wall at night in my room.
The walls are moving but through time
Who built them and lived between them?
Old and new homes pass me by as I travel
All containers of dreams and aspirations
If they could tell their story to me
I’d listen closely to what they have to say
Walking slowly through the town graveyard
Reciting the names and eulogies; it seems important.
I feel strange standing in so many people’s future
Wish they could give more than an etched stone saying
A face with a blank expression sitting near me
Biding time, wanting to reach a destination.
I hate time biding, so I smile so she does too
There’s little time to tell stories while we’re making them
But isnt life the only time we have to listen?
Maybe in heaven we can all listen to each other.
When no one is pressed for time.
Love is
Love is a passion
Love is a principle
It is sought the most
Is avoided the most
It brings freedom
But captures us
Love is self-sacrifice
Yet wants to indulge
We do it willingly
But it imposes on us
Is always fair
Sometimes unjust
Brings the most pleasure
Is always fair
Sometimes unjust
Brings the most pleasure
Causes the most pain
What is love?
Let me tell you all about it
Let me know when you figure it out
Reality
We awaken from dreams
Yet reality lives on
Yet reality lives on
Anything can happen
Till this world is gone
An uncontainable love
The untamable beast
Hand each other a gift
Forgo passion for peace
A paradox of sorts
No fears or regrets.
We can smile inside
If this time’s all we get
But love makes its way
There’s more to expect
These journeys don’t end
It’s a truth we accept
Living on Dreams
We live in a world of ambitions
But goals are never what they seem
They’re measured with fame and money
We’re happy just living on dreams
Who cares what direction life takes us
If we’re living in failure or fame
As long as we’re holding each other
We know who’s winning the game
The world mocks for not caring
To us it’s not a surprise
Their opinions really don’t matter
While we’re looking in each other’s eyes
Keep your jewels and travel
I’m sure they’re beautiful things
We’re content anywhere we’re together
As long as we’re living on dreams.
Forever Love
I asked forever love to be convenient
But it is I who have to conform
Looked for it with stress worry and fear
Unending love will only rest.
As I strive to become worthy of it
Lasting love takes me as I am
Eternal love doesnt respond
To mere mortal efforts
We can only bow at its feet
In admiration
And cling to it with passion
through this fleeting life
Tears
It stung his cheek
Despite his fears
His guarded heart
Was shedding tears
Her tender heart
Familiar flow
How easily
It let them go.
When all is quiet
Instead of sleep
It opens up
They gently weep
It’s in the songs
On every note
In what was read
In what was wrote
Broken hearts
It’s how they bleed
Because they miss
Because they grieve
Because they hurt
Because they care
Tears will fall
When life’s not fair
Chivalry
Chivalry
Can be lonely
The highest love
puts care above passions
Loyalty
Can bring misery
The highest honor
Puts right above self
Liberty
Has casualties
The highest freedom
Puts peace above life.
Bravery
will bring injury
The strongest man
Is going to cry.
Changes
Flowers bloom
And the changing moon
Nothing stays
But my love for you
Summer breeze
And the swaying trees
Enduring love
Like the rolling seas
If the wind changes
And it turns the pages
Any storm that rages
You can count on me.
Changing plans
And the shifting sand
We’re secure
You just take my hand.
Gardens die
And our eyes will cry
Souls will live
Never say goodby
If the wind changes
And it turns the pages
Any storm that rages
You can count on me.
Inner Man
I know a wild man, who crouches deep within
He’s friends with all my passions, they want to hang with him
The stoic man is always right, demanding I obey
My passions cannot stand him, they can’t come out and play.
I may get drawn to either one
One is safe, the other fun.
