As I sit here looking at your picture
My heart pounds and my pulse races
Filling my soul with love

You look so peaceful
So calm and serene
No cares are bothering you now

Wanting to touch you
And stroke your hair
Caress you body

Making me smile
With love and desire
Just the thought of you

Happiness and joy
Raising in my soul
Loving Thoughts for You

I have written many poems
Since that fateful day
Yet for some silly reason
I seem to forget what they say

Helping me feel better
But only as a short quick fix
If I don’t take things to heart
And keep them in the mix

By reading what I write
I can keep things fresh in mind
Keep the demons at bay
And put the pain behind

In writing I have found
Many of my Ahas
But the Devil can take control
When I think of all my flaws

I need to keep on writing
But I need to read as well
To exorcise my demons
And send them back to Hell

This is hard for me
To try and understand
I’ve never been like this before
I’m entering a new land

The scenery is changing
Constantly with and ebb and flow
Nothing feels comfortable
I need to just let go

I’ve screwed things up
When I try to do too much
Trying to fix things quickly
Keeps getting me in dutch

I often seem to forget
How this can take it’s toll
I didn’t seem to realize
I’m no longer in control

Trusting in the Lord
Helping me to become
The person I need to be
To bring us back home

It will take some time
As many things have changed
You are now much stronger
And now I am estranged

Only time will tell
The Lord has set a goal
To get there (wherever it may be)
I need to relinquish my control

I’ve loved you for so long
I forgot how to show it
You kept trying to
Make us a fit

I couldn’t share
Everything I needed to
You kept trying
But I only made you blue

I’ve told you before
But I couldn’t seem to show
That you are my center
Especially when I’m low

When you walk into the room
You are all I see
My life’s focus is
You are enough for me

I need to show you
That I can change
I can share ALL my being
Throughout all its range

In good times and bad
Through sickness and health
My life with you
Is my only true wealth

I cannot share this now
You will not trust it’s true
That is the extent
That I have damaged you

I trust and believe
That one day you will see
That what I am writing now
Will truly come to be

You will understand
That you have always been
Enough for me
