The Giving and the Taking of the Heart

The Giving and the

                          Taking of the Heart

I gave him my heart, not thinking

About what the man might do

I only knew I had to do it

Not if he was faithful and true.

I handed him all that I had

I put it in his hand

I didn't think of danger

Didn't have a plan.

I only knew I loved him

Only knew I cared

Didn't know if he loved me back

Or if he'd stay right there.

I took a chance I'd never taken

I gambled with my fate

I ran headlong into his arms

I couldn't seem to wait.

Because he seemed so special

So wonderful and good

I didn't want to walk away

I didn't think I could.

So I put my heart at great risk

Not knowing what he'd do

I held my breath and waited

To see if my dreams came true.

Then he smiled a smile big as the world 

Which gave me quite a start

And he said I have something for you, too

And he handed me his heart.

And I stood there in the sunlight

As love mended my wounded soul

While he cradled my heart like a diamond

And I held his like the purest of gold.

I guess sometimes you must take a chance

Like I did that fateful day

For why have a heart all full of love

If you can't give that love away?

Only the love of another

Be it woman, child or man

Can fill your heart and empty it

And fill it once again.

For love must be replenished

By a source that's not your own

As you fill up another's heart

Before all their love is gone.

Supply and demand is the way that it is

And that lesson you learn at life's start

You  must give out your love if you want some love back

For that's the way that the Lord made the heart.

Eyes Of Night

Eyes of Night


Fallen one
With eyes of night
You came to earth
To steal the light.

Fallen one
With heart of ice
You heed no warning
Take no advice.

Your wants are many
Your needs are few
That man might bow
And worship you.

But I'm a warrior
And this is war
And though I'm wounded
I'll bear my scars.

For you are evil
Personified
And every word
You speak's a lie.

I've felt your shadow
Upon my dreams
I've felt your touch
Like icy streams.

You tease and taunt me
And promise love
But you don't know
What I'm made of.

My soul is mine
You'll never win
Your wage is death
And your job is sin.

I can't be bought
I can't be sold
Your heart is wormwood
And mine is gold.

So take your whispers
And your treasures all
To the depths of Hades
For I'll never fall.

My Prayer

 My Prayer

Mercy, lay your hands on me

Mercy, let me see

Mercy only Heaven shows

When blinded my eyes be.

Comfort, let my hurting head

Upon your shoulder lay

Comfort,  take me in your arms

And Comfort, let me stay.

Peace, please touch my troubled mind

Peace, my heart renew

Peace, flood my dry desert bare

And fill my soul with you.

Love, remold me in your hands

Love, my wounds repair

Love, smooth all my jagged parts

Strewn broken way out there.

Sweetness, let me taste of you

Sweetness, take away

Sweeten all the bitterness 

Soured on my tongue today.

Joy, teach me your laughing songs

Joy, teach me how to dance

Joy, replace my sad sad dreams

That never had a chance.

Righteousness, take hold of me

Take my flesh away

Lead me in the holy paths

Make me forget to stray.

Patience, help me to slow down

When through this life, I’m fleeing

Heal the hearts I carelessly break

When I walk by, not seeing.

Gentleness, show me how to touch

The ones I chance to meet

Turn away their wrath with smiles

Not kick them with my feet.

Longsuffering, help me to be strong

When hardships come my way

Keep my eyes upon the prize

That I’ll receive one day.

Charity, let me always give

And not, self-centered, take

Share my riches with the poor

And leave blessings in my wake.

Heaven, breathe your breath on me

On this and every day

And for every gift that I receive

Let me give ten more away.
