Face to the Sun

Night falls
and I let shadows lay next to me
creatures call to each other
and I wait for the presence to fall

My human natures says
I should
fall, fight, and flee
but with the wisdom of Solomon
I wait

They walk in and out
constantly
seeking the little drink
I have nothing to give
not to the shallow-minded

Quick to withdraw
my heart laughs at me
I cannot pull away from you
as it should be
you are the pulse to my blood

Yesterday
when the sun set
I took memories of things
I have yet to see
tied them to the approaching darkness
and slept

As the sun rose
I opened myself
laid down my life
picked up my spirit
and faced the sun

And there you were
waiting for me
gifting me with time
placing galaxies in my hair

My Wants

To take this feeling
lay you down in it
And see if you could
Find your answers
And your peace

To take these thoughts
And let them roll
Off my tongue
Into your ears
Sink into your heart
And let them manifest
Into action

Im not selfish with you
the world should be witness
To the coming of a king
I stand in awe of you

To take hold of these moments
Living them so fully
I cannot stand to breathe
This is how I love you
Not only you but the warmth of life

I feel the expansion of everything
I ever needed
I feel the crowning of my wants
And I feel the birth
of my love
In a man that knows it's being

My wants are few
And they are dancing in my soul

My Need

He asked me
If I was in love
I said yes
He said prove it
And I inhaled
And exhaled
It's my existence
That proves my love

He asked me
If I was in love
And I said yes
He said prove it
And my soul
Took off its clothes
and stood naked
In the windows
Of my eyes

He asked me
If I was in love
I said yes
And he said
Prove it
So I left him
In freedom
To be
And I waited
Occupied
In the ones most high

I asked him
If he was in love
And there was silence
That's all the proof
I need

Mystery Loves Company

I once told him
in between my silence
that the broken clocks
in me were right
only twice a day

I made sure
I warned him
of the monsters
that hung around my mind
that they were friendly
and they bite

I told him of the love
I failed to retrieve
at the end of rainbows
I just didn't know
what I didn't know
the scariest monsters of all

I scouted all the places
in me
I could find
ready to share them
shine light into them
let them air out

I just didn't know
there were rooms
with names
of unknown things
or I would have warned him
I would have warned
his tender heart

Here's my warning to anyone
leaning on loves wall
waiting to be picked
on the next song

mystery loves company
and it finds a home
in our hearts
it leans to cut-in
right when we are ready
to pull close and embrace
our time

Leave room for the mystery
tell it's story well
or you might find yourself
standing in front of destiny
unprepared
