Failings

I'm fairly certain that all my failures as a human are the result of me not believing God is everything He said He is.

Tinted

I want to look away
I want to go to you
Yet here behind this glass I am stranded
I try hard not to play the creep
You didn’t reject me right out
But your reaction was far from an embrace
I can’t ignore you any more than I could stop signs
So shielded from your vision, I pace
Frustrated by the undefined nature of our relationship
Saddened by the power it has on me

I placed it...

I placed it at your feet and you cried
It wasn’t what you wanted
They were loving tears of disappointment
“But it took me years to make it” I replied
You responded, “Exactly”

Strange Forest

I live in a strange forest
One where chestnut sometimes smells of cedar
And where pink blossoms are often found lingering on dead trees

Deaf and Blind

Phone
iPod
CD player
Deaf

Sunglasses
Eye shadow
Eyes downcast
Blind

Torn

In a rush to read a proverb
The fortune is torn
The promise broken
The wisdom cancelled

I am church staff!

Just an update on me. More poetry to come soon.
