God’s Love Over His Daughter
I love her. Oh, how I love her! I have chosen her from among my daughters, and her children I have consecrated to myself. Upon her I desire to pour out ALL the graces of my Sacred Heart, which burns for her as a man burns for water. She is my consolation, my comfort, and my joy. Her very presence before me makes me leap with joy! Her very existence brings me ecstasy. None can doubt my love for her, for I have made it visible, I have made it clear. My love is like a raging fire, seen for miles. My heart overflows.
Throw Away the Treasure and I’ll Be Fine
Throw away your soul
I’ll throw away mine
Together we will dig and
we will find
Gone…
The verse was last
the curse was cast
We broke it together
but you went to wander
Alone and afraid
I watched you go
Pause, My Love, and Kiss Me
Why didn’t I pause you,
on the way out of the wood…?
I could have paused you.
Why didn’t I kiss you,
on the graveled over path…?
I could have asked you to kiss me.
There is not sufficient time,
In the span of human life…
Not enough time to show you
Waiting with Mumford and Moses
I anticipate
falling heavy
into your arms
I know you
will come home
without a harm
And I claim
the promise
that these days
Where I’ve knelt,
and suffered,
will blow away…
Virginal Love
Who is she who can know my sorrow?
What woman, blameless, has lost the love
of a good man?
Truly, if I am without fault,
and he without guilt,
what woman can know my sorrow?
The Feminine Crucifixion
I open my mouth
and I drink of thyself
I am a vessel - fill me
Fill me with thy agony
I’ll kiss away the bloody sweat
I’ll soothe the dried and bloody mat
of hair from off thy Sacred brow
and kiss the lips that suffer now
My eyes are dark, they cannot see
But what else shall there be but thee?
My mind can grasp your presence, Lord.
And that is all I shall gaze toward.
Heavily Undead
My head lies heavy, but undead
As I writhe upon the bed.
My neck cannot support its head
My broken body - limited.
The Agony of Divine Pain
What mortal vessel can contain
the agony of Divine pain?
He hath chosen that I remain
And at His cross I lie here slain
I beg that Savior’s blood shall stain
Upon my body, soaked like rain
And at my side a piercing pain
A stabbing in my pounding veins
The Smile
Can a smile change the world? I met a girl once whose entire smile was heaven itself. Can you claim to have ever seen such a smile?
I mean the pure smiles, you know.
So few have the pure smile.
That smile that we think must be a freak of nature, because who could really be that happy? But deep down, in our heart of hearts, we know her smile is pure.
The Invitational Hand
Have you ever met the girl with the invitational handt? Her soul flows from her in a joyous stream and when you meet her, I promise that you want to run to her, stretch out your arm, and fill your little cup from her running waters.
She is an abundant soul, consumed with learning how to love, and consumed with giving love away.
Desires Inside
Nervousness, and trembling flowing over
Why the insecurities under
my beating heart, my blanking mind,
my rushing through impossible time?
The Turning Point…
And I could have tried to make you happy a year ago by taking you out, but I didn’t. My point is, I’m not doing this for you. I’m doing it because I believe I am supposed to fight for you. We’re supposed to be together…
Only the Lover…
When only the lover sings
then death has lost its sting
and we are saved from the fall
From the doom of it all.
Receive, Oh Woman. Receive…
In me is generated the
love of the generator…
I receive my beauty.
Shall I speak of my beauty?
No….
Only he may speak of it.
Upon the Shore
Upon the shore, I stand and wait
A mast, a lighthouse
In the nook of the cape
And the wind whips my dress
It batters and beats
Its paltry attacks
Borrowing
Borrowed finery
Borrowed future
How long do I have to wait for you,
wait for the future?
I have borrowed
against the day
When my disguise
will fall away…
I Believe
I believe he will come back again
I believe this is not the end.
When flowers bloom, when Love commands
Christ will not let this time extend
And when he’s here vs. when he’s gone
the time shall flow like years have come…
