In You I Sought Shelter

You have done so much without having to do anything|

The presence of your being brought out my deepest feelings|

In your presence I saw in me the boy who strides away|

Holding in my thoughts from the ridicule I once fled|

Forcing out my secrets in you I sought shelter|

The protection I once begged|

The agony I kept sheltered|

You unlocked the code to my chest|

Treasure hunting with you I saw the sunlight fade past the stars|

The treasure I found in you is what kept hope inside my heart|

Not one word assemble the sentences I feel for you become endless|

The endless nights never seem enough|

The toughest of my thoughts pale in comparison to the softness of your touch|

Your eyes glow so ever bright|

Your eyes show the eternity of my heart|

My thoughts I hold you in|

For the one day when I see you again|

I hope you return the feeling so I can learn to love again|

Inside Your Hands

Parables fumble in unprepared hands| Deprived of gifts bestowed to thee| As humans we seek shelter beneath a tree| When our feet become weak| And our needs extend beyond our means| As rain pours| It cleanses our soul| Dormant ideas start to grow| Yet we turn a blind eye| To what's before our sight| Taking the easy way| Shunning plights| Fighting is not a physical ordeal| It's more of a rejection to extol the almighty rule| Exploring alternatives to fables disguised as facts| Letters shredded in half| Eulogies embedded on a golden calf| The story was written for you to digest| The ending inside your hands| Inside your thoughts is the rest|

Spoken Word

A word once spoke is only heard through an opening in a cracked wall| Shrunk in the balance| Within strings moving from the wind's hold| Escaping push| Reinforced from strength of vibrations from a secluded silence|
