Trapped

Indeed, I hear your whisper in my ear -
Raising the tiny hairs on my nape;
Swallowing slowly, as not to miss a drop -
From what is it, you so long to escape?

Mesmerized, I am waiting for the flow -
The images and sounds you wish to share;
At warp speed, the feed of the story -
Brought to this point by doom and despair.

Time, for you, having stood endless still -
Centuries and ages have long been past;
The peace you need is no longer here -
Lost in the darkness, ever so vast.

Someone to tell you where she awaits -
Forever, alone, you have so waited;
Lost in the flow of things gone wrong -
And all you hadn't anticipated.

In the light of love she patiently waits -
All you waited so long here to find;
Waiting over there, while you were here -
Rise up - leave now this world behind.

Back to the glory from wince you came -
Healing and peace await you there;
Love in abundance for you evermore -
Just for you, I give this prayer.

Anticipation

Emotion that I can no longer contain -
Seeps quickly from my fingertips;
A desire that has finally taken me -
I hear my own words leaving my lips!

A wanting I have kept silent within me -
Now, known by the one who knew not;
My fear of saying has left me dry -
In complete darkness, I fired the shot.

Leaked words have left me relieved -
No more secret heart left to bear;
I've gone off into the distance -
Hoping you will follow me there!

Unknown to the place to which I lead -
Knowing, though, pure bliss awaits;
Bringing down the fearful surrounds -
Knowing, all that my being anticipates.

Fallen Angel

Dry your veins from evil things -
Your soul you cannot destroy;
Tis yours indeed, you will see -
It has all been but a ploy.

A challenge, it is, your life -
An ambitious soul, you are;
Rise up and walk back to light -
You have simply wandered too far.

Your mission, before you, lies -
In wait for your humble retrieval;
From the land of hell, now rise -
Not for you, this place of evil!

Take my hand, and we will walk -
Back where you heart awaits;
Many are left, yet to be saved -
Will you leave them to their fates?

Release the fear, my fallen dear -
Your victory is so very near;
The star I light for you tonight -
Things are not as they appear.

Haunted Memory

Forever I am haunted by your memory -
Your image, burned in my mind;
To do again, what different I would do -
Perhaps, then, life would be more kind.

I hear your words, even still -
I know you are still here with me;
It matters not, you understand now -
For, in my mind, I still see.

My heart could set aflame wood -
So fiery, it is, with its wrath;
Nevermind what you continue to tell -
Fate set you across my path.

My heart will never be the same -
Forever changed, I live to tell;
Wrapped in the haunting of you -
Tormented by my own, private hell.

Overwhelmed

Emotions flow like a river through my soul -
Striking, swishing, and whirling around;
My breath is deep and I am one with the flow -
Enbracing the purpose for which I am bound.

I see; I feel; I hear all their words -
Rumbling like a volcano through my veins;
Carried by the brilliant light of love -
In the end, love is always what remains.

I soar through the journey like an eagle -
Seeing through life with my mind's eye;
Receiving all they choose to give -
Not always knowing the reason or why.

Spinning in place but never moving -
A vessel through which to flow through;
All of the light I can breathe in and out -
Grateful for all through me they do.
