forgotten

dun ask me how many times uve hurt me
i cant remember ive forgotten
leaving it behind
relieved that your still by my side
i refuse to count the cost
the cost thrown in the refuse.

i aint doing budgeting
not when love's invovled.
i love u! and the hurts all gone
Jesus Christ came and healed
and they';re forgotten.
your forgiven! lets not remember for too long

but one things for sure,
somethings are worth remembering
your love, our perseverence
not, not ever, never
forgotten.

and i wdnt want to forget you
i dun want you to remain in my past
of memories, or just in photos taken yesterday
if i had three wishes
i'd wish you'd be part of my todays
i'd wish you'd be part of my tomorrows
and i'd wish...
hmmm maybe i'll save the last wish for emergencies

laugh for your beautiful
thats something worth celebrating!
being with the prettiest girl
not only on this island
i believe in the wholest widest world.

wet shoes

dancing in these shoes
running walking to get me to you
i aint afriad of the storm
or the hot sun or you stepping on them
just to be with you
i'd put these shoes on the line

i dun care if my feet get wet
hot dry itchy or sticky.
maybe my shoes will get worn out
ahh, my precious shoes
but not as valuable as u are
i'd get my feet wet for u.

the walk with you has been so beautiful
i'd be blind and a fool
to give u up for anyone or anything else
i love u, more and more
dun let the storms stop me!
if i could i'd kick them away!

forests or pavements
the wild weeds that might entagle
or the wide rivers that might drown
i'd go across them in my shoes
just to get to you
cuts and bruises arent going to stop me
i love you too much.

and in any case the forest beasts get to me
i hope ull pick me up
theres only so much a donky
in the jungle can do
apply some ointment (you know which one)
hold my hand
and i'll be strong enough
to press on with you

i love u!

when you say you love me

when you say you love me
its not only the words i hear
its off a sincere heart
honest and bare,
wanting what's best

when you say you love me
i know ull give your best
i am comforted,
i love u too.

when you say you love me
the days ahead get easier to swallow
the difficulties become easier to accept
im that much more confident
with your hand in mine

when you say you love me
the stars seem brighter, the sun more beautiful
simple thigns become so much
more worht pursuing
im changed and so are you
for the better, for two.

thoughts

here i was
or maybe i should say here i am
i want this to be in past tense.
the distance sometimes is too much
on the same island and under the same sky

regimentation, discipline
all that shouting and fussing
maybe it really is a mountain
of a lil hill

oh how i wish time might pass
that much faster
through to the second half
through the months

why wouldnt they slow down
whenever im with you?
i wonder why i have so many days here
and so lil with you

never enough, but im comforted
knowing how we've become stronger
im amazed, at the work He has started
yet to be completed.

deep

this want in my heart
desire, only one

i want you by my side
for as much as possible
all the lil moments
the important and seemingly
insignificant
they make the bigger picture
and i wanna share them all with you

be with me, only you
can make me feel this way
i love you ever so deeply
youre special

words fail me, pitures arent enough
to describe, to capture, to take down
your beauty, your touch, your presence
i need you, so hold on, so love, so true

i miss u
i just do.

pride

like a jewel on a crown
beautiful and complete
theres nothng about you
i'd change

im so proud of you
wanna show you off to the world
gona shout it out
not ever gonna hide it
my love for you

so amzed and satisfied
like a gem or a diamond
i wdnt let go
you make me proud
and i wanna show you off.

seaside

the waves gently touch
raw sandbed, ebbing out
welcoming, it sweeps
slowly the sun goes down
the waves rush on,
the sand inviting
not resisting powerfully
taking pulling closer
ebbing has become a faster motion
the hunger can be sensed
the waves move
up and down
a more frantic rhythm
of love of caressing
touching, fingers of the waves shifting the sand
speeding up, the sun's going down
coming up, coming out
the earth breathes
rushing in tiding out
and then it all stops
as if its come to rest
relieved, its satisfied.
the moon has risen
to her daily place
having missed the passion
of the waves

dance, our dance

lets dance my dear
hold my hand and take me through
this privilege to dance with you
guide me along, this beautiful dance
we move to the music, of God.

tango, or salsa, we're passionate
and our dance shows it
i like your dress,
im so in love with you
you'll always catch me staring at you
you're so beautiful

and so we dance, in our concentration
the noises of applause, or jeers
the floor's rough at times
we're closer, and better
but it took and takes
all the wrong steps.

we've righted them
guided by God's own hand
hold onto mine,
i dun want to let go of you
theres no other i'd dance with
on this side of eternity
than u.

and the more i think of it

and i keep thinking of it
about you ours and us
i wanna jump for joy dance and hop around
you make me so happy
glad and i know im sappy

this happy kind of poem's for you
coz i love it when youre happy
and when you smile tt pretty smile
or give me one of your kisses
im smitten, not like a kitten

delirious, delicious
my life never has been
and its so colorful, im learning
still loving and im glad
its you im loving

one of a kind
the only one, my heart would take
without you i'd break
hold my hand
play in the sand

this happy not so sappy
collection of words
for you, my love
my lizzy babe!

me.....

this so simple and true
love that can express itself
in this world
sometimes i cant see it
but sometimes i feel it

and i know your with me
im quietly praying for you
while your working
while im on the other side
thinking about you

and your smiles are so precious
your love, so uniquely special
a hug a kiss, blown to me
or finding my lips
blows me away

come comfort me, when im teary
i need you, selfishly so
when im on my knees
when im tired,
ure there...

there for me

no more such songs

songs of loneliness
i thought i might end up singing.
holding onto your hand
i know i shall not have to sing them

the songs ppl sing,
they envy and they feel
the pain, loss maybe

isnt it so good not to be that way?
i havent, nor will i ever,
regret each moment ive given to you
for that's a wonderful gift
the time youve sacrificed for me

the songs go on
but my heart sings with joy!
i never knew i'd have you
nor did i imagine being in love
would be this beautiful

dream like, divine,
never like how its sung
the songs, they're barely
the tip of the iceberg

so here, even tho i cannot sing
i sing with my heart
my strength, a soul song

no more songs of loneliness, sadness
wonder or imagination
i've got who i need, want
and desire

i love u.

my dear....

oh the worries you bear
the weight of a few worlds
your shoulders can only take so much
take them to the Lord

my dear i love you so
your the sweetest gal
im glad uve given so much
please take care of yourself

remember the Lord!
oh His wings and grace
i know He will sustain u and i
and us and evryone else
nothing that comes to us
hasnt first gone thru Him

persevere, ure beautiful
and u are blessed with many many gifts!
if only we knew exactly what
but the Lord will help reveal them to us

but here i write, thinking abt u
and how we need each others' forgiveness so
i love you! and thats not all i know!
for He loves you too!

my valentine

one day after, here i am
writing out the feelings i have
and glad to share
i know she, my special one
listens and cares
even though im difficult

she holds onto my hand
nurtures me
with a shower of love
what sincerity! what beauty!
and im only too glad to share in her

why must she be made
so far away from me
on the same island
but its always too far

she's my valentine,
special in my life
unique the only one
may i never set my eyes on any other

theres a hole in my heart
shaped just after her
i dont want to leave her
i just want to love
to cherish as much as i can
to learn, to live
with my pretty babe

love...

love, more than an occasion
than time can capture
nor give its full worth
to be with you
i dont want
forever or eternity
to ever be enough

this love in words
just a reflection of how much
i seek to be with u
never enough
what words and roses can do
this love ever so true

from God our Father
holding us together thus far
when i seek and i find
im contented to have found you
hold my hand, hold on tight
through the suns storms and moons
tears laughter and smile

love, not to be celebrated
on february the fourteenth alone
it'll do such great injustice!
to limit our love to a day
i love you and we celebrate
everyday, what God has given
through emotions, anger or happiness
through occassions, physical distance
hope, through prayer

on our Father's everlasting arms
wipe these tears away
these happy tears
touched by a love so strong
so divine, so blessed

love, true, changes, blesses
oh how blessed to give
to a soulmate, companion, best of friends
i love you
i'll be here, there, a prayer will do.
when u need me
and i need you just as much

babe im sorry

for all the times i didnt
pay attention or listen
those times that made
you cross with me

for the times i was late
for all our special dates
those days that kept
you waiting endlessly

babe i just wanna say
im sorry
these words from the bottom of my heart
i really am!

i know these words wont make do
wont undo all that has been done
please forgive me
i just cant let go of me

im so glad u still wanna love me
despite how i am
ridden with mistakes
wrong moves and poor choices
cant say the right thing
nor do i know wats going on

so for those days i made u mad
i just wanna say im sorry
it was my bad
babe dont leave me
i wanna say

im sorry

counting, memories

one two three
the days go by so quickly
everytime im with you
hold onto my hand
i wanna hold yours tight
and walk with u
in this life

the days into months
and the months into our years
memories upon smiles
laughter and tears
no regrets
giving this much to you

four five six
counting stars and hours
knowing that this time is ours
i love you
wanna make you feel loved
wanna love you
just you

the years into decades
oh how time goes so slow
sometimes it feels that
tomorrow is so far away

let me not wish our youth away
and we'll not let anything get in our way
i love you
and its more than feelings
more than a choice
so much more than words
yet these three words
says it all.

i love u!

mood

when im down or when im out
moody or missing you
i know yours is a hand
i can hold onto

i love u and im glad
u love me too.
i wil do my best
for the one i love
you are so worth it

im in love with u

and im glad u love me too

in this kinda mood
i miss u so
wet grey and not very sunny

to persevere and live
my best

i love u
and im glad u love me too.
just the right kinda mood
whenever im with u

His hands weave for us
such a wonderful story
i dunno how it will turn out
but i know He knows best
i love you for who you are
and i cant live without you

its more than the way you move
or the dishes u cook
ure touch or your sharing
or how u pester me so :)
its more than your smile
or ure kisses and ure hugs
i just love you!
for who u are
for all tt u are

can you look at the trees
the strong bark and height
what majesty in creation
bearing His fingerprints

the ocean roar or the ebbing waves
feel the sand beneath your feet
know that He carries
and be amazed at one so Mighty

the living creatures
from minute the enormous
the human body
so wonderfully complexed
works so well

and to know and believe that He
gave His Son.
the One who hung the stars where they are
and who is Holy beyond words

to save to heal and to forgive
a mission that is unlike any other
and who am i to question
i am in awe

i love u

theres so much about you i appreciate
the way you make me smile and laugh
even though my skies are grey
you choose to share them with me

you make sure i become a better person
you encourage give and love
theres no one else i'd rather be with
the sun still shines His face gloriuos

im so glad i have you on this journey called life
how you pick me up when im in pieces
or when i just cant go on
somehow you encourage and point towards God

its how ur hugs are
one of the greater comforts in the world
and how your kisses blow me away
im captivated
im overwhelmed and absoulutel;y in love with you


but most of all i just love you
for who you are
not who you were
or who anyone wants you to become
and i want to spend my life with you
