Lovesong Poetry

[Scary]

yet it seemed like yesterday
to me.

Yesterday one day too late, I suppose.

 

[tourist]

Yesterday one day too late, I suppose.

It usually is dear, but tomorrow is a new day in the Lord.

 

[Scary]

It usually is dear, but tomorrow is a new day in the Lord.

That's true.
I chose my words carefully, I can't really change them.
Just have to accept what is, and move forward.

..moving forward.

 

[tourist]

That's true.
I chose my words carefully, I can't really change them.
Just have to accept what is, and move forward.

..moving forward.

That is all that can be expected and I am glad you have the wisdom to accept that which cannot be changed and the courage to step out in faith. That will be rewarded.

 

[Scary]

That is all that can be expected and I am glad you have the wisdom to accept that which cannot be changed and the courage to step out in faith. That will be rewarded.

...thanks.

 

[Scary]

I hope.
I'm hoping.

I will wait.

 

[tourist]

I am waiting
patiently
for a woman who is
deeply in love
with me
but does yet
realize
for we have yet to
meet
face to face
and look deep in
each other's eyes
and see the reflection
of true beauty
and our lips have
yet to touch
but they will
someday
and we will
whisper words of love
and hold each other
with clasped hands
for forever and
a day

 

[Scary]

Words to keep me,
but to keep me still?
Nay.
I shall get no sleep tonight.

As to rise to such occasion,
Such as this.
Is it such a surprise?
O I am so happy, I feel sick.

Be still my heart yet another day,
Like a flower birthed in a drought
Suddenly, caught in the middle of a spring rain.

Maybe, I was always ready.
For such a joyous day as this.
Oh, here it comes - Happiness.

Waiting seemed like eternity,
not knowing -- if ever..

Words to hold that are like a
Cobblestone wall to end the flood
of this never ending sea.
Perhaps this shall conclude a longing dream.

Words that I will hold onto,
to strengthen worn flesh and bone.
To step into a world unknown.
To you there are so many words to say,
yet I am speechless.

This is not my first time around in life. I have been there and done that. I wrote this little piece many years ago when I was just starting out on my life's adventure. It is not about drinking and gambling although there was plenty of that involved as well for I was young and I did not know better. It is about embracing the challenges of life and the love that will eventually find you no matter how fast you can run or where you choose to hide.

With the top down on my car
I would cruise to all the
local bars in town.
And with hair down
to my collar
I picked my pool cue up
and holler
"Hey, it's time to lay
your money down!"

its good but it seems like there is more to hear in this story, is there more to hear?

 

[Scary]

When I become happy,
I become overzealous,
and when I become overzealous,
I scare everyone away.
so I tend to back away,
and keep to myself,
because I'm not cool at all.
i don't handle things exactly right.
it doesn't mean I'm backing away.
I'm weird that way.

I chose my words carefully,
haven't done this before,
Don't know how,
don't know what.
Don't know where,
or when.
This is how far it usually goes for me.
yet I chose my words carefully,
but to make things assured,
I said it before the one
i fear the most,
God, and that means more to me.
for he will judge every word I say.

Are you the one I have been dreaming of?
Maybe it doesn't matter anymore..

Maybe I should just go with it.
Maybe I am wrong..
perhaps I am following winds
of doctrine, going
wanting everything to fit quickly,
And I have been fooling myself
all this time.
Wanting it to be so real.

This seems too good to be true.

I am tired, just so tired,
of being played..
tricked, used, and fooled.

Words are only words today.
Said without a single thought.

People say so many thoughtless things,
make so many promises.
Yet do they keep them?
Can they keep them?

Words without action are nothing,
they mean nothing.
Just like faith without works is
dead.

I must be held accountable
Before God for every word I say here.

I want to keep my word,
I want to keep my promise.

everything will work out
in it's own way, I am sure of it,
That everything will be okay.

Don't make it so difficult,
or confusing.
When I say I don't know how,
I don't know when to meet,
or even what to do..
I am telling the truth.

So I will wait,
and I will pray,
and I will hope
that God will make a way.​

 

[Scary]

if it is you,
remember this,

the world is not on my side,
the world hates me.
They will never be for me,
I will always do something wrong
to you and I will always be the enemy.
Yet this world loves you
and is behind you all the way.

You have many,
I have few.

That's why I hang onto God
so tightly.

he is all I need.

if it is not, then pay no attention
I am keeping my word.​

Don't Try So Hard
Lyrics by: Amy Grant

Another Monday comes and I just wanna breathe
'Cause it's a long, long week for someone wired to please
I keep taking my aim, pushing it higher
Wanna shine bright, even brighter now
Wish I would tell myself


Don't try so hard
God gives you grace and you can't earn it
Don't think that you're not worth it
Because you are
He gave you His love and He's not leaving
Gave you His Son so you'd believe it
You're lovely even with your scars
Don't try so hard


Do you remember how the summers felt when we were kids?
Oh, we didn't think much about it, we just lived
Taking our time, beautiful leisure
When did we start, trying to measure up
When all of this time, love has been trying to tell us


Don't try so hard
God gives you grace and you can't earn it
Don't think that you're not worth it
Because you are
He gave you His love and He's not leaving
Gave you His Son so you'd believe it
You're lovely even with your scars
Don't try so hard


Don't try so hard


Don't try so hard
God gives you grace
You can't earn it
Stop thinking you're not worth it
Because you are
He gave you His love and He's not leaving
Gave you His Son so you'd believe it

You're lovely even with your scars

Lovely the way you are
So open up your lovely heart
Don't try so hard

its good but it seems like there is more to hear in this story, is there more to hear?

Yes, there is indeed more to this story. It is a never ending story. You might say that it is a beautiful awful mess. I am going to write the last chapter tomorrow. It will not be on this page however. So it goes.

Oh I see. i wish you all the best with your writing.
Thank you for sharing your words and such.

confusion comes and goes.
Nobody really knows.

meant what I said
with a blindfold on.
said what I meant.
Yet it hasn't gotten me
past the window ceil.

still not where I thought
I'd be.
So why am I still trying?
What am I holding onto?
am I holding on alone?
can somebody tell me?

All I can do is
let this go into the
Father's hands,
cause he has always
got the greatest plans.

Confusion comes and goes.
nobody really knows.

said what I meant,
meant what I said
Can't take these words back,
guess I gotta let them stand,

I chose my words carefully..

am I holding on alone?
I'm still here fighting, all along.
I've been here fighting for this alone.​

 

[Scary]

Maybe that isn't fair to say. I know you are holding on.

i guess I'm a bit defensive when I hear you say,
that I am not fighting for this.
When i talk about the problems they are not to put you down,
but I want to find a way to solve them, or work them out.

i think if I stop fighting for something,
I stop talking, I stop caring, and then there are no words.
Then that means I've stopped fighting for it.

If I say no words, I still care.
I'm just going about my business.
i was just worried you would think I stopped caring.
or that I stopped fighting.
..but this is the only way to talk to you at the moment..

sometimes it gets discouraging and lonely,
and I can't see you..

but I am still holding on.

I understand full well about confusion. I would explain right now but I am pressed for time.
