Cling

For every sip of my bitter cup
For every tear of my degredation
For every promise I might cling on to
You have come.

Frustration
Cavities of love
When we touch
When we release
When we let go
All hidden tears.

Gentle kiss
Silent words
Telling of time
Beyond sleep
Beyond dreams
Beyond desire
Here, you ignite the flames of love.

Infinite fountain of life
Sweet chalice of acceptance
Pure wine of grace
Immeasurable promises
Immeasurable delight
Consuming fire of satisfaction
Eternal flame of love.

Living power within
Manifest goodness
In a lover’s embrace.

For I am
Engraved on your heart.

Each word of life.

Discovery

Pockets of comfort
Colour seeps
Time slowly evaporates
A discovery of love.

Fountain

The source is fire and golden light
Crescendos of desire and ecstasy flies
Vaulting the centuries, dispelling darkness
With passions gilded in eternal grace.
Wondrous light your essence of goodness
Beauty and purity hurl from your eyes

Tumultuous fountain your treasure of grace.

Safe

Safely held tight in your embrace
Free from harm, my hope and shield
Accepted in the Father’s love
Anchored heart through strengthening grace
Ripples of constant affirmation
For by His stripes I am healed
Welded into one forever
Saving love expressed in grace.

In the garden of my essence
Birthed in your trust

Hope

Zealous hope
Knowing your surrender
Hard is the ground
To this disciple of dirt
This frail temple
Slowly filled with your glory
You are my life.

Pieces of Your Grace

Heavy stones
Stones of torment
Torment my dreams
Dreams splintered
Splintered without
Without remorse
Remorse of love worn pieces
Pieces of your grace.

Trust

Innocence
Anointed with trust
Unbind me
Healed me
You broke the chain of shame
Your tender eyes

Hope

I had to cherish hope
That tomorrow would come
That the hate would surrender
That each face found shatter
That love would not falter
That you would never throw the first stone.
I had to cherish hope.

(John 8: 10 - "Where are your accusers? Didn't even one of them condemn you?).

Waterfall

Dark drop
A kiss of betrayal
Announcing the end
Your scars
Have drawn me
Into your waterfall
Of healing.

Crimson Stream

Arms ached
Heaviness of my burden
With every piece of me
My weary hands
Began to dance
Fashioned
In your crimson steam.

Mine

The light shines in
That fills my darkness
Hope
In the room of uncharted grace
Faith breaks through the past
As love begins to glow
I listen to your words of truth
You are mine
You are mine.

Silent blood
Spilled darkness
Faded days
Life is light
Where mist
Peirced dreams.

With cries of passion your story is told
Resurrection life has now taken hold
Ripples of love.

Beyond my sight
Into ancient stories

and I am bleeding

in crimson streams

as He dies for me.
