Sinless?

Oh sinless ones,
Come! Cast your stones.
That is,
If you can see.
For does not the beam,
That's in your eyes
Obscure your view of me?

Nature itself

The next time you see a flower,
That makes your heart stand still.
The next time you hear a songbird,
Singing sweetly in the hills.
The next time you see a sunset,
That makes you stop and stare.
Please take that very moment,
To whisper a small prayer.
For Jesus said it plainly,
And today it is true still.
That if we do not praise him,
Then nature itself will.

(thank you Adeola)

Beauty in the Beast

That you find any beauty.
In such a beast as I.
Proves beyond all the shades of doubt
That the saying is no lie
Love must be truly sightless
Or has cataracts at least
For how else could you find beauty
In this unattractive beast. 

Speak

Speak to me,
Say anything.
So that the sound of your voice
Plays the music of a million symphonies. 
Speak to me,
Say just a few words.
So that the movement of your lips
Makes me quiver with ecstasy. 
Say something.
That I may soar
Unaided by man's inventions to
Destinations yet uncharted. 
Please speak.  

Fragrant Fruit

She gave me a strawberry,
But that's not what I want.
She has another fragrant fruit,
Not grown on any plant.
In order to consume it,
I first have to win her heart.
But she gave me a strawberry,
So that's a lovely start.

Gentle man

I've touched her in that precious place,
That makes a strong man weak.
That sacred, special, secret place,
Of which gentlemen don't speak.
And though I am a gentle man,
A gentleman I'm not,
And so I ache, I yearn, I long,
To go back to that spot.

Surrounded

Surrounded.
By things we cannot touch.
By light, by sound, by air.
Yet somehow they can all touch us,
Yes, life is far from fair.
Surrounded.
By things we cannot touch.
You're not mine, so I stare,
Yet somehow you touch me so much,
No, life is just not fair.

The Chain Of Broken Hearts

As heavy as a ton of bricks,
Yet lighter than thin air.
It sits so sadly 'round my neck,
An object of despair.
Invisible, yet tangible,
It pierces my soul like darts.
Stronger than any metal,
The chain of broken hearts.

Forged in lies, and promises,
Unfulfilled up to now.
Molded by false pretenses,
And broken empty vows.
Yet would I do it all again?
Gladly-
Without remorse!
For the price I pay for loving you,
Is the chain of broken hearts.

Your heart must never be entwined,
Within that tangled mess.
Because of all the loves I've had,
I've not been more impressed.
And lover dear if ever,
The both of us should part.
I'd have to add my own ticker,
To the chain of broken hearts.

Dark Chocolate

You are my sweet, dark chocolate,
I am your caramel.
And girl there's no denying,
That we go together well.
A lock and key,
Cookies and cream,
A flower and a bee.
Without you near
I'm nothing
A broken,empty dream.
A natural aphrodisiac, 
Seeing you drives me wild.
And tasting you is ecstacy,
I'm entranced by your wiles.
You are my sweet dark chocolate
I am your caramel,
Come.....,
Wrap yourself around me,
We go together well.

Ebony Sun

I stand patiently each morning,
waiting-
for her darkness to brighten my day.
Without it I feel lonely,
in a strange, peculiar way.
Other bodies stand beside me,
All made by God's own hand.
But not one shines as brightly,
As the dark, ebony sun. 
Her voice is a sweet love song,
No one can ever sing.
Her smile, a priceless diamond,
That will never grace a ring.
My world revolves around her
And though there is such little time,
I try my best to take it in,
Her ebony sunshine.
I hate when any other,
Blocks her rays from me. But..
Like art, music, and culture
Sunshine must be free.  
Propriety forbids me,
From sharing my intent,
And so I hide in poetry,
As my poor heart laments.
For a man like me, despite my strengths,
Will never touch the sun,
But I would make sev'ral attempts;
If only I were young!
That's not the only barrier,
But it's the one thing I can't change,
It sits on me. Quite heavy!
And I buckle, from the strain.
Or is that just a poor excuse,
For my fear of the dark?
If I venture any further,
Will the sunshine melt my heart?
I should run! But which direction?
Who can escape that sun?
Her darkness still engulfs me,
Long after she is gone.
Still-
I will see her in the morning,
As I wait so patiently,
For the darkness that's her beauty,
To shine it's light on me

Flow over me

Flow over me,
Like syrup on a pancake.
Thick and smooth,
Like velvet but light as lace.
Flow over me,
Like the sea upon the shore.
Calm and soft
Like a love song far away.
Flow over me
Like a gentle running shower,
Cleansing me
With a love that's truly pure.
Flow over me
Like a gentle breeze in summer.
So freely
That I feel that I can fly.
Flow over me
Like a strong and gentle river.
Taking me
To the sea that is your love.

Cold Love

My heart is such a dark cold place,
Its fire burns no more.
A bleak, lonely, barren place,
Not what it was before.
For love, that traitor, took its leave
Silently one night,
Before its intent I perceived
It suddenly took flight.
It snowed her broken promises,
Chilling were her lies.
I shuddered as her heartlessness,
Sent shivers down my spine.
Hope and faith both braved the winter,
As best as they could.
But as the coldness settled over,
They too left me for good.
A living death is what it is,
Life without a soul.
I laugh, I breathe I take, I give
But Oh, my heart is cold.
