Sofa Chair / A Poem

I fell in love once
And it took everything I had
I fell in love, and needless to say I never fell back
No one told me that falling isn't love
There's nothing romantic about falling
Unless your worshipping the Creator above...
I fell in love once
And I thought it was beautiful and true
Little did I know I was blinded, bewitched and confused...
Feelings are liars!
I wish someone would have shared
Feelings are temporary, illegitimate and unfair
Because I'm here now, alone in this sofa chair
Staring at an empty one.
I was in love once! and it was the joke of the year
No one told me that it's not love, if your the only one that cares.
So now I write poems, hoping someone will hear!
Feelings are good mockers of the love that isn't there.

Desperate For You

Your name is perfume to my senses
in your presence my mind cannot contain...
when without you, my life has no joy or aim.

Only to love you is my life's passion
to behold your glory is just the same
to shout your name
and declare your wonders
may my love for you, burn brightly
an inferno, an eternal flame.

You are good to me
abundant in mercy and grace
countless are your wonders
numerous are your names
you stand before me when I cannot see
you hold my hand when I cannot speak
always remaining, always containing
my heart, my thoughts my life.

Wings Like Eagles

Should I stumble, you will pick me up. 

Should I succeed, you remain my cup.

Although I fret, you will deliver me

from these chains you will set me free. 

And although I doubt, you will open my eyes

you will not forsake me when I cry.

On my face Lord, at your feet...

help me defeat my unbelief. 

But should I fall, you will carry me

Should I rise, I will boast in Thee. 

Although I falter, you remain the same

in your presence, my soul is tame.

Savior, Father, Provider and Friend

you will never leave me

no...You will never end.
