Pretty ponies and rainbows
All in those pretty heads
Of every girl
In the world.
Oh how foolish,
I once said.
Butterflies, birdies,
Passions running wild.
You fall for a man.
He steals your heart away.
Now
You can no longer stand.
I laugh at you,
I truly do.
Why be so fool-hearted and silly?
No man can give you
What you truly need.
Remain that strong, independent filly.
No ponies and rainbows
Exist within my mind.
I know for a fact,
Without a shadow
Of a doubt
That this world is cruel,
Never kind.
Whoops,
What's this?
The rug was pulled out from beneath me.
I look up
Seeking the culprit.
I say,
How dare he.
But oh no.
What have I done?
I've gazed too long
Into a distant dream.
I fear I have found the sun.
Oh white pony,
Take me away
To the end of the rainbow
And to a brighter day.
Oh dear,
The butterflies
Come from your eyes
And tickle my tummy,
This feeling
I just can't despise.
So good,
It feels like I'm floating
When the truth is
That I'm really
Falling.
Save me,
Superman.
But wait,
You already have.
Let me go,
My heart cries,
Don't take me away.
But now it's too late.
You take me over the rainbow
And the butterflies
Lend me their wings.
I fly higher
Than the angels
As you lend me a dream.
What have I done now?
What mistake
Have I surely made.
I fear
I've lost my heart
To the King
Of the Spades.
But now I no longer care.
Sweet birdies
And rainbows.
I accept
I love thee.
Take me away
Upon your pretty white pony.
My lonesome angel,
My hopeless friend,
Don't you see me?
Don't you see
I'll never leave?
Your past means naught,
Your sins earn you no hatred
Within my eyes
Which see the truth.
I see through to the real you.
Blind physically,
I read your emotions
By the tone with which you speak.
A marveling compassion
Reaches from your heart to mine.
Its your love that I seek.
Yet your demons haunt you,
Plague your every thought
In every part of your mind.
You tell me you are death,
A harmful, sinful monster,
But I see no such havoc wrought.
I close my eyes
Which are so useless to my body
And gaze deep into your heart;
A treasure seeker.
Your soul couldn't look any bleaker.
Death and shadows,
Torment and pain.
Hell's personal clown,
The devil does you no favors.
Lost to God,
Your life holds no great flavors.
What's this?
A sparkle?
A twinkle in the dark?
Could it be
The one last hope
That you hold so dear in your heart?
I see it
And yet you still deny.
You think that I am blind
And mistake what I see.
I say you are wrong.
You do not see
What I see
Through these not so useless eyes.
I reach for that pebble of light,
That one shard of a dream
That you keep away from me.
I'll get to it someday,
You'll see.
You think you're so tough,
But your defenses are already cracking
And soon they will come tumbling down.
And in their place,
I'll plant a rose garden
And paint a colorful smile
Upon your beautiful face.
Take my hand,
Sit with me
Upon this heavenly swing.
Let the sun shine warmly
Upon your face
And hold me close
In an everlasting embrace.
Speak to me, honey.
I know you need me.
Share your deepest secrets,
Lay your sins on me
I promise to set you free.
Your heart
Is my paradise,
This I can say without a doubt.
Try as you may
You can't deny
That it's me you can't live without.
Send me away,
Call me names.
Refuse to acknowledge my everlasting love.
I don't care.
My heart means nothing to me.
For your heart is the only thing that I see.
Lonely heart
Yet full of hope
For everyone but herself.
Will there ever be
A chance to see
Something greater
That a distant dream?
She reaches out,
Is turned away
By helpless, bitter hearts,
Vein and desiring
Of something prettier
Than an unbloomed orchid.
Shattered heart.
Hidden well,
The face of deceit
Masking her inner woes.
Yet crying, she lays
Upon a bed of stolen hopes.
Alone forever she'll suppose.
Upon her bed of sorrows,
She waits for her daylight to come
And show her that she
Has as much hope as the rest.
Angels should never weep
When they face their greatest test.
So strong and tall
She stands
Hiding her heartache from the land
For her people's favor.
Her lonely soul
Searches the world
For the good of all her neighbors.
Emotions are created,
Desires are born.
Within the walls of your heart,
You keep them safe,
Tucked away deep inside.
The blood that flows
Through your veins
Is heated by the passion
That spurs you forward
To reach for those desires
And turn them
Into reality.
Troubled times
Have found you lost
In a world of nightmares
Where dreams seem to never come any longer.
So you close off your heart,
Place a mask
Over the shattered pieces
Of your forsaken soul
And shout to the world
That no passion
Lives within you.
There is always someone,
Somewhere,
Who can see behind your mask
And gaze upon the lost wishes
Of a bruised and blackened heart.
There will always be that seeker
Who will eventually come across
That diamond in the rough
And set their own desire
To making it shine.
Eden was the perfect world,
Full of everything,
Save for sin.
A world of light,
A world of beauty,
A world that knew
Only of God.
A place of perfect harmony
Where His grace
Blessed all
He’d created,
And even the darkness
Remained pure
When nighttime
Claimed the skies.
The stars remained like Angels
Watching over this peaceful sanctuary,
The moon
God’s glorious throne.
Sin found it’s way
To even this perfect paradise
Created by
The Almighty God
And the light that existed
Within the pure and divine sanctuary
That was Eden
Has separated into millions
Of tiny sparks
That exist within every heart
Upon this Earth,
Within His kingdom.
Sometimes that light
Is unable to be seen.
It is hidden
Within the walls
Of darkness and sin,
Alone and afraid
Of being extinguished.
The darkness sanctions
The appeal of sin
And the light
Becomes minuscule
And lingers lonely,
Surrounded by demons.
Pure light,
Pure beings,
Walk among us
To cast aside
Those wretched shadows
That threaten
To mislead
And eliminate
The sparks
Of His Holy Spirit.
They reach through the walls
Of blackness and despair
To capture the light
Into their guiding hands
And bring it back to the Lord
So it can shine again,
And again be as pure
As the Garden of Eden.
Oh, misguided light,
Diminishing faith,
Step into the haven
Of my beckoning wings
And let my halo
Illuminate your soul.
You are safe
Within my nurturing hands,
Oh, lost glow
Of saints
Long forgotten.
The past means nothing
To your promised future
Should you choose
To trust in me.
You will soon
Know once again
His bounty,
His love.
I will take you from
This dark and lonely place
And lead you back to Eden.
Peace, love,
Hope, faith.
The very things
You want and need,
But the hardest gifts
To receive.
The world is cruel,
Humans are savages.
With all the evil and corruption
That clouds the hearts
Of even the most pure,
It is difficult to believe
That these things even exist.
But you mustn’t give up,
You mustn’t give in.
Stand strong,
Stand tall,
Please, take my hand.
I’ll show you the world,
I’ll show you the light,
I’ll show you the stars
That will lead you through the night.
Through the good times and the bad,
I’ll be right by your side.
I shall never leave you
Until you wish to tell me goodbye.
I will show you the Earth,
Give you my heart,
Do whatever it takes
So you won’t fall apart.
Believe in Him,
Believe in me,
Believe in life and love
And the hope and the faith.
Never let your spirit die.
Because the spirit is strong,
Even through the darkest of times,
If only you lend it strength to fly.
The dawn will come,
The sun will rise,
Over the hills,
And the trees,
And you will see.
Let the wolf guide you,
Let her show the sparrow of your soul
That he can become the eagle of the skies,
If he only believes in himself,
And in the one who can help him.
If the wolf will lead you,
If you choose to follow,
Then He will show you
That you are stronger
Than you think.
So open your heart,
Open your mind,
To the power you can not see,
But that your heart knows is there.
Give your hand to me
And I will love you,
I will make you believe,
In peace, love,
Hope, and faith.
What have I done now?
What have I become?
But more importantly,
Why did I not see it?
Now it’s too late.
I’ve hurt those closest to me,
Now they resent me
For the pain I have caused.
What have I done now?
How can I fix it?
I’ve made them feel like dirt
And that wasn’t my intent at all.
What can I do to make it up to them?
How can I change what I’ve done?
How can I make them see
That this isn’t what I meant to do?
What have I become?
When did I change?
Why?
My thoughts don’t hold resentment,
Nor loneliness.
Sure, things feel a little strange,
But I didn’t know that I had changed.
Can I change back again?
How could I not see?
Am I selfish?
I don’t feel it…
I want them to be happy,
So what is wrong with me?
I’m not preoccupied
With matters of the heart.
I am not lonely,
I am not needy,
I am sure that that’s not the case…
So then what?
What am I?
Who am I?
Why am I so hurtful?
So hateful?
And how can I possibly not know?
So many questions
But I see no answers before me,
Nor within me.
So what’s the matter with me?
How could I let this happen?
Now everyone thinks I’m mad,
I’m angry,
I’m arrogant,
I’m selfish,
I’m mean,
I’m hateful,
Hurtful,
Unfeeling,
Uncaring,
Troublesome…
They all think I don’t care….
What have I done now?
What have I become?
But more importantly,
Why did I not see it?
Now it’s too late.
I’ve hurt those closest to me,
Now they resent me
For the pain I have caused.
What am I to do now…?
Sweeter than silver,
More precious than gold,
Is the blood that runs through all in this world,
Connecting us, and making us one.
If one is hurt, we feel their pain.
If one is ill, our stomachs ache.
If one is sad, we cry for them.
If one is dying,
Our soul withers
And dies with them.
To save a life
Means to save yourself.
To give someone hope
Means to believe in yourself.
To take away the knife and replace it with a hug
Restores your own sanity.
To love someone
Is to be loved in return.
To spare someone’s life when revenge sounds sweet
Is to save your own soul from Hell.
To show the tiniest bit of compassion
Is to purify your very being.
To share a smile
Is to feel true joy.
A drop of blood
Can give us life.
A single beat of the heart
Can serve as a reminder of the living
And of those who have passed.
But the joining of hands
To let us know we are never alone
Even in the darkest and coldest of times
Can provide an impenetrable sanctuary
Where our hearts will forever be filled with happiness
And our souls are free to soar together
To Heaven.
The heart
Is a dark
And lonely place
If no one
Ever opens
The door
To let
The light
Enter your soul
Bringing love
Forevermore.
Lonely
Is my heart
Growing darker
Day by day.
I long
For someone
To open that door,
To come
And take me away
Where my heart
Can be lifted
Onto the wings
Of love
And soar
Beyond
The stars
And the soul
Who dared
To open my door
Would soar
Along side
My heart.
He would
Lift me up
High to the moon
And set me
Upon it’s crescent,
Get down
On one knee,
Smile at me,
And offer
An eternal present.
The gift
Of his affection
Would shine
In his eyes
And he
Would give
Himself
To me.
He would pledge
His allegiance
From his heart
To mine
And promise
Forever
We’d be.
He’d take
My hand
And hold
It tight
To reassure me
His love
Is true.
To give
Himself,
Heart and soul,
To make all
Of my wildest
Dreams
Come true.
And of all
The princes
And all
The paupers
Across
Any number
Of lands,
Only this man
Would claim
My life
And my love
Forevermore
With a touch
Of his hand.
Difficult it is
To find the one thing
That your heart calls for the most;
An undefined emotion
That none seem to understand,
Yet you feel it
Constantly,
And you can’t fight
The desire
To be a part of something
Greater than yourself;
To be one with another;
To be whole and complete.
Searching, restlessly,
Never sleeping
Because of the ache inside
That you can’t seem to place.
United once,
Separated long ago,
You pray that you find
The missing part of your soul.
Tossing and turning,
Wakeful, yet weary,
You search for the answers
That He seems unwilling
To give.
Thought you found the answer
A few times before,
But it always happens,
Every time.
Your heart is broken.
You ask why,
You ask how,
You ask,
If not this,
Then what?
Ignoring it,
You try,
But it’s useless to hide.
You’re always aware
Of that never ending sorrow
Somewhere deep inside.
I’ve felt it, too,
Though not the same as you.
Wiser, stronger,
In control of your
Outward disposition;
No one would guess
That you harbor
A secret.
I hide it too,
Same as you.
No one sees inside me.
I know of the hurt,
Of wanting to be more
Than just one half
Of a broken whole.
Now I reach out to you,
Offer my hand.
You’ll never be lonely
If I’m here.
I’ll save you
From that darkness
That you feel
Creeping up inside.
I won’t leave you lie,
Oh no.
I’ll run to you,
You can run to me, too,
If you find you have lost your way.
I promise you, dear,
I’ll always be near
To wipe those
Invisible tears
Away.
Don’t give up.
I believe in you.
In truth, I always have.
Strive for your goals,
I’ll be here all the while
To give you the strength
To go forth
And reach them.
You can’t hurt me,
Not at all.
So don’t worry
For me.
You’ll see.
You deserve so much more
Than what you’ve been given.
Be assured
That your fondest desires
Will come true.
If you believe in me,
I’ll lift you up,
Even if you feel
You don’t need
A helping hand.
I’m here until you wish
To tell me goodbye.
If companionship is all
That is needed here,
Then I will do all
That I can.
I’ll make sure you’re never lonely,
Oh love,
I’ll make sure
Your heart knows
It has a friend.
Within the darkness
We’ll wander
As friends
Until divided,
If we should find
We must be apart.
For right now,
Let our sorrows
Be shared
And made
Into something
Indispensable and grand.
We shall let our hearts
Find solace within the other,
And let our dreams
Be shared
Just this once.
