Dancing in a Whirlwind

Today I took on the monster
In the closet
He wasn't so fierce

Today I danced in a whirlwind
Of my own making
For the sheer joy of it

Dancing in a whirlwind
I could feel the freedom
Pulsing through my soul

Pummeling my body
Challenging my heart
To let it all go
And dance

This Love

Softly falls your breath
Upon my shoulder
Wrapped around each other
As we sleep
My love for you is
Unlike any other
Lovely as a rainbow
Ocean deep

You capture all my love
And hold it gently
Living in your care
Has kept me sane
This life we share is all
I ever dreamt of
Intense as summer sunlight
Soft as rain

Done

I feel as if a curtain
is being drawn
shutting off my chance
to connect with
the rest of the world
my world

I feel disconnected
and though I struggle
to shake off this feeling
of dread
I encounter a hollowness
I'm empty

Doors are closing
doors I fought to
keep open
All the lost chances
piling up against them
locking me in

and I don't care
anymore

Undo Me

Break down all my barriers

With gentle touch
Lightly given

Lean in close and breathe me in
I am enriched
By your smile

Wrap me up in loves warm comfort
Keep me here
Awaken my senses

Let me taste the love I'm feeling
Lingering kisses
Undo me

Salvation

And therein lies the hurt
The wound that cannot heal
the damage done with thoughtless
ease
This pain is all too real

How quickly dies the hope
When careless reason wins
I can't ignore the cry
My world around me spins

I look to you for hope
Salvation in your hands
Will you grant to me your love
Or leave me barren lands

Inexplicable

Can love be spoken
Are there words to enchant

Your waking moments
As if they were dreams

What words now etched
In my memory
Can withstand
The whirlwind I feel

For I have loved
Completely and beyond the moment
And will forever
Be grateful for the taste

For it lingers

Broken Wings

It wasn't the wings that pushed me down
It was the loss of hope
No wind can stir beneath me now
There is nothing to lift my spirit

Wings are useless things
When they have no lift
No joy to make them flutter
No hope to give them flight

Earthbound now, forever grounded
Loss of love and hope and dreams
Nothing left now to believe in
Living life with broken wings
