The Harder We Love

you are my purpose. my light gravitates to yours.
you and i entwined in passion's embrace erasing our past mistakes.
it feels good to hurt this way. i ache when you're away.
your kisses hold the cure. your touch purifies my soul.
together we achieve nirvana on an earthly plane.
light fills our empty spaces and the dark shadows are chased away.
there's power in our love. we've only scratched the surface.
the closer we become the deeper we trust. the harder we love!

you are my heart. my being vibrates with joy when you are near.
you and i talking about the day chases our blues away.
it amazes me how well we are in tune. i compliment you.
your energy energizes my lethargic ways.
together the world cannot help but bow to our demands.
love overcomes the most hateful of souls and we gain control.
there's no shame in our emotions. we show them proudly, like a badge of honor.
the more we proclaim our love for each other the deeper we care. the harder we love!

you are my need. my happiness depends on yours.
you and i laughing at nothing satisfies me.
it feels like the first time every time we touch.
your desire for me jolted me out of my misery. you awakened me.
together we ignite each other's fires.
luck brought us together and we've never looked back.
there's magic in our chemistry. time can't destroy us.
the faster we explore each other the deeper we become inside the other. the harder we love!

Time Bomb

don't charge me admission to my own execution.
the hang man's rope calls out to me.
all these hopes that died on my tongue leave me crushed by their gravity.
the peace lily is dying; the war within is still raging.
someday i wanted to change, but not today!

you were the bigger man and that makes me sad.
don't judge me by your own moral standards.
the ten commandments are more like guidelines i ignore all the time.
i envy. i covet. i lust. i fornicate. i lie. i steal. i cheat.
i don't ask for respect because i never give it.
there's no honor inside this broken down whore i've become.

the most i get takes all i got.
don't think you know what i'm going to do next.
i don't know where i'm going or what i'm doing.
i saw you were back here last night smoking.
you didn't even bother to say hi.
the words you gave me were to pacify.
we're both afraid i'm going to lose my mind.

my insides are malfunctioning.
don't believe it's guilt because i'm falling apart.
it's just my broken heart flooding my system with those tears you wouldn't let me cry.
the fears have overtaken all my reason.
your voice had lulled me into submission.
we aren't friend but you like to pretend we are.
your influence over me is fading at last.
one day you'll piss me off and that will set me off, but not today!
i'm a ticking time bomb with a broken clock!

Exorcise Ignorance

i would burn a clown down on a cross.
some think i've lost my religon,
but i believe God's love isn't in a temple.
The law's of men super imposed on God
is an attempt to steal authority from God.
Integrity is up to each of us.
we have to have the courage to embrace God in our own houses.

I've fallen down because gravity exists.
Science isn't a myth.
we have to exorcise the evil of ignorance.
heaven is full of joy and laughter.
when dusk comes and the stars appear
it's like God's assurance he his near.
We are alive now so we must live.
Abandon the museum of archaic thoughts.
Light the world up with your own fireworks.

i'm not going to fret over fictitious count downs
or grovel to a fellow human to forgive my mistakes.
i will crash into the Holy Ghost
and talk to Jesus like he is my best friend.
I am not separate from God,
he is in my heart and I am in his.

Center of Gravity

i'm trying to find a rhyme
for all these thoughts
running through my mind.
i can't quit.
i can't stop.
even though i feel like i've been run over by a truck.

i'm unbalanced,
trying to capture some levity,
taking apart my center of gravity.
i won't give up.
i won't lose it.
even though i have no friends.

i'm alone on a day of love,
no one to hold,
just like so many years ago.
i can't lie.
i can't cry.
even though i'd like to try.

please help me find my center of gravity.
i'm falling apart,
falling down, losing heart.
