It's Been Forever...

Spanning the long distances
Scanning for the lonely sail in the horizon
The gasp is heard as the dot is spotted

She grasps the iron bar in her hands
Will he remember?
Will they be what they used to be?
So many questions to be answered

She turns
Her dress flutters in the wind
Lightly her feet pad down the stairs
Out the door and down the street

She runs toward the dock
She stands at attention
A wisp of a girl
Now a strong woman

Spanning the long distances
Scanning for the lonely village on the horizon
The breathe of an Hallelujah as the dot is spotted

He jumps down to deck
Orders left and right
Will she be the same?
Will she still love as she used to?

So many questions
He orders some more
He goes to his cabin
A small servant in the galley
Now a strong captain

The ship nudges the port
She trembles as the gangway drops
A strong visage is presented before her

He clenches a fist as the gangway drops
The sight of a thousand angels stands before him

Both stare in wonderment
A small sigh is heard as she lays her head on his chest
He stares into the distance and wraps his arms around her

I know it's been forever since I last posted, so I hope this appeases you. I've been feeling the poetic muse visiting me again, so hopefully there will be more to follow.
Cheers!

Too hot
Too cold
Can't breathe

Demons pull down
The angels raise up

Constant fight
Constant motion

When will this stop?
Must I always feel this?

Side to side
Back and forth
Never stopping
Always moving

Again too hot
Again too cold
Can't breathe

Too...hot
Too...cold
Can't.....

Breathe


This....makes no sense to me and I'm the one who wrote it. Argh! Frustrating! Oh wells...leave comments anyway.

The Power of Forgiveness

This really isn't a poem. It's more of a dialogue between God and a person wanting to be forgiven for all the bad things that he has done in his life. I would have put "person" and "God" before each appropriate stanza, but I found that to interrupt the flow of reading. So, I hope you enjoy this one.

My eyes are closed
My hands are tied
Night and day now meld

How long have I been like this?
Why can't I escape?
Who put these bonds on me?

You did this yourself
Every time you refused to help someone
Every time you thought of only personal gain

Is there a way to be released?
Do I still have a chance?
I want to change
Truly I do

There is still time,
Yes there is still a way
Give yourself up
Relinquish all selfish desires

I don't know if I can do that
I want to but do I have the strength to?

You are not your strength
I am your strength
I am what holds you together

I slowly bow my head
My knees touch the ground
I then feel sunlight on my face
My hands are no longer bound

I open my eyes
I see the world around me
Looking up towards the heavens
I give thanks
