Lord, I wanna get my life together. I want to be more conscious of you. I desire to be in your presence.
I want to long for your glory. I want to be more intimate with you. I want to read your Word like I used to.
I want to lay down at your feet. I want to spend time on my knees in fellowship. I want to grow more in spirit.
And most of all, I want to say “I” less because it’s all about You.
It’s time already
The whole world stops to stare
My heart skips a beat
As you walk into the door of my heart
It accelerates to keep me from dying from your elegance
My hands cringe as my soul clings to the rhythm
With you, the world neither spins nor twists and turns
The winds quieten as I feel your breath flow into mine
The pause increases my pulse as your paws scratch my hair
Our lips dance as all of Heaven kisses the face of the earth
I waited so long for this day, and it was worth the wait
Stop reading between the lines, there’s nothing here to see
Open your heart, close your eyes
Open the dance floor, up close let’s dance
Though we are very close, we are so open to each other
Though we’d close at some point, let’s leave it open
My heart glows in ways I can’t understand
It gushes forth with pure affection for you
I enjoy your company, I know you enjoy mine too
On a more serious note, I do not want this to end
Please press play, remind me of my busy schedules once more
Before I fall flat on my face and have you fill all of my mind
Let’s keep it like this, for love suffers at high speeds
We don’t have to press pause on either; we can have each other and with each other face the stress
I love you ❤️
This poem was inspired by the stresses of architecture school and the fun of living. The question is not whether we procrastinate or not. The question is, “what are we procrastinating?” We don’t have to “play” everything. We need to certainly pause at certain points because there are some stages in life we cannot skip. Learn to pause rather than “stop” because you’d wish you could “rewind” to relive those moments. Press forward!
Those who mind don’t matter
Those who matter don’t mind
Who said so?
I mind, remind my mind
The mind is matter
So tell me the matter
What’s on your mind?
It’s ineffable!
Actions speak louder than words
but actions are hard to interpret
Your words are your words
They hurt more with each resounding memory
Why did you say what you said?
It’s ineffable!
I say I really don’t know, I wind
but you say what do you mean? Define
There’s a reason behind everything
but can we explain everything we do?
My mistakes don’t define me.
My mistakes, don’t remind me.
I’m not here to prove myself. That’s how I am? Reputation doesn’t matter.
What matters is you.
It’s ineffable!
Gravity holds back my fears
Brevity holds up my tears
We stained our flower
I dimmed the charm
but wait…there’s still a sparkle
though your heart sometimes bleeds
the love still remains
It’s ineffable!
we’ll never be the same again
It’s so hard to forget pain, but it’s even harder to remember sweetness.
We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.
But now we can’t underestimate our peace.
Come, hold my hands.
The healing rain is about to begin.
I hope you’re not afraid
I love you ❤️
