The Battle of the Two-Hearted Man


Courageous, bold, captivating, calm

Silent, sad, hollow, shunned

Praised, Loyal, proud, Patient

Bleak, broken, alone, bruised

Strong, wise, smart, sure,

Mellow, miserable, pained, mundane

Bold, true, brave, boisterous

wounded, wishing, shaken, wasteful

Tentative, honest, trying, thoughtful

From God, With Love

Fire burns in the Pit of his being

Sickness ebbs at his heart

Compassion and Love his undoing

The misery of being alone


How can I speak when all I want to say is I love you

Yet there is no one to reply

How shall a walk when the only direction I want to travel is toward you

Yet you walk away


When will I see your beauty I created

When can I touch the soft skin that I shaped

When shall I hear your sweet voice call my name

When shall I drown in the magic of your eyes


I Cry out for you to love

My whole being is love

Why is love the one thing your not capable of

My sprit soars to meet with you

Longing to commune


Why do you turn your head

Looking searching peering into the unknown

Turn with your heart

Search not with your worldly mind

Search with your soul, scream for mine


How long will it take for you to come back to me

My heart says I have been yearning too long

Days, weeks, maybe or even years

I will be waiting, calling


I want to cradle you

Comfort you

Shelter you

Love You


Run into my arms

Fear

Shadows Creeping in the night
Making way to give new fright
Hollowing a soul from inside out
Never wanting to give up the fight
Gaining Ground inch by inch
Never leaving like an itch

Fighting back
Struggling hard
Not going to give into the dark
Dampening the noise that bites and scratches
But relentless still the shadow latches

Pushing forward and gaining ground
drowning out that awful sound
loosing its strong grip
the hungry shade slips

Courage and wisdom be my strength
Along side me against this eclipse
reaffirm myself time again
Fear
Has no place here.
