I have a voice, I will no longer be seen, and not heard. I will speak my mind, will anyone be able to hear my heart. I want to be a voice for those who have no voice, speak for those who cannot speak for themselves; mic check one two. The time has come to no longer be silent, the silence has become absolutely deafening; the injustice, hearts are being silenced. Beat your hearts strong, beat your hearts loud; one voice!
I will be a voice for those crying out in the wilderness, the wilderness within their own hearts and minds. I will rise up early, voice be heard; this is the day. I will speak life into the darkness. With my one heart, with my one voice; it’s about one love. I have come in peace, not to alienate hearts; to make a difference. The hour has come to speak up, to speak out. To get off my chest, that which truly burdens my heart!
This is the moment, the hour is truly at hand; I will not let another second just go by. For time would never think of just favoring me, or simply stand still. Even though, I have been such a faithful companion; with the precious time we have. Time has a destiny to fulfill, my heart is destined to fill; hearts and minds with truth, hope. This time my voice shall not be forfeited. The world truly needs to know, that time was never on their side!
I’ve truly had enough time to clear my throat, but if I should happen to lose my voice? I will still never truly be silent, time will still have a story to tell. Second by second, minute by minute; time shall no doubt prove to the whole world. That the days of our lives, are yet within an hour glass; that moves through the sands of time. So be still my soul, be steady my heart. Open up thy mouth, speak the truth, but with love. Speak firmly, but gently; speak with a clear voice. Be bold with your words, but forever humble with the delivery!
So I will wear my heart on my sleeve, hearts still need to see; that the voice, is my heart. One heartbeat, can move a mouth to speak, the truth from within. But if all hearts spoke as one voice; we can forever move nations to hear, the words within. I have a voice, but what good is a voice? If it’s just a silent instrument, that has not yet learned; how to speak from the heart. From my heart to yours, I am not The Voice; I am just a voice, for a time such as this. I have a message; let love abound, let freedom ring!
Are you looking at me? I know sometimes you’re just looking for a shoulder to lean on. Don’t ever be scared, to forever lean on me. Maybe you’re just looking for me to display true strength, of character, and not just to be a character; can I still be your hero? Perhaps you’re just simply looking for someone, who will always be there for you? I guess you just want me to say what I mean, and mean what I say? It’s possible that you’re looking for me to show a little tenderness, or just be there to wipe away the tears; look no further!
I know that you look for all that in me; I hope that you do see that in me? But I don’t want anyone to get it twisted; I’m not all that. My love is just trying to be, all that your heart needs it to be. So if at any time, it seems like my love is coming up a bit short, or leaves you with even a smidgen of doubt. Just nestle your love against my beating heart. Listen to your love, breathing within my heart; it’s strengthened by your character!
I’ve learned to trust your love, you can trust my heart. My love is your love, forever it will be; until we’re old and gray. I will show that this heart of mine is well seasoned; sprinkled with just the right amount of your love. I hope that I’ve given your love the ability, to see into my heart of hearts? If not, total access is yours. Look no further, your love has always been a part of my heart!
With age comes wisdom, the wisdom to know; A Heart Is A House For Love, may your love forever feel at home. This one thing I’ve come to realize within my own heart; a person can’t change who they are on the outside, if they’re not first willing to be changed from the inside. So the question still remains the same; “Are You looking at me?” Look no further, no further than your heart. My heart will forever love you, steady it goes; one heartbeat at a time. What you see, is exactly what I need you to see; Always, and Forever!
The chains are broken, let them fall to the ground. The chains are broken, lying on the ground are they. Pieces, they are just pieces; the chains are no longer resting against your heart. Breathe, let your soul breathe; the chains are broken. Fasten your soul with the belt of truth, secure your heart within love. Let love arrest your heart, don’t be handcuffed by what lies within the unknown; if someone sees the pieces, will they ever link it back to your heart?
Shackles, they were never shackles; just a chain with linkage, your heart was never linked to a chain that binds. Don’t believe the lie; that your heart will forever be in chains, let that link forever be broken. Life can sometimes fight against your will to resist. Always fight back, push back if you must; resistance will never be futile. Don’t ever let fear keep your soul a prisoner; fight the power that be. Break free from the mind games, don’t get roped into peer pressure. Cut the ties, the ties that tries to bind; fight to keep your heart free!
You might ask yourself, if the chains were truly broken; why can’t you see them on the ground? My friend, don’t look through the lens of the eyes; see into your soul, through the lens of faith. The chains were broken, the very moment your heart was set free. Don’t hang on to brokenness, let that what is broken; be the chains that tried to bind!
I hope you truly don’t mind if I pour out my love upon Your heart? You surely must know that Your love is like gas on my fire? Your love is the spark, that forever lights my heart. So ignite my soul, until the fire of Your love burns deep within. Fuel my heart with Your love, until it burns out of control; let it burn forever, within my soul.
To most people, this poem might seem a bit self serving; this is absolutely just that. I need Your love, to be what completely fills my heart. So don’t ever stop, my heart could never ever get enough of Your love. What else can my heart say; Your love is the high octane fuel, that powers my soul. Sure, it might seem as if I’m pouring it on extra thick? But it’s a thin line between love and hate. So I would love, if You could fill me up with every bit of Your love. I would hate, for You to ever stop; just let it overflow!
Fill me up fill me up. Your love is like water, for my ever thirsty soul. Strike a match, let the fire within my heart consume my very soul. Let the fire of Your love seep out of my very pores; until it can be felt, by anyone that comes within ten thousand feet from my heart. I don’t even care, it they too catch on fire. Let Your love within my soul, be what sets their hearts ablaze; let love not be just a flickering flame!
Let my soul burn until my heart is ashes; six feet down, and Your love becomes the only recognizable part of my soul. My heart is the house, but Your love is the fire that burns within. The edges of my heart can feel the flames. Fan the flames, let Your love burn; until it’s felt, within the very depth of my soul!
Life, can sometimes come at you hard; that you think you’re in a fight, a fight for your life. I learned at an early age, how to bob and weave pretty good. Float like a butterfly, no; I wasn’t the greatest, but I knew how to hold my own… heart. Life just wouldn’t allow me to catch my breath, so I just held it all in; breathing seemed to be optional. But life still decided to hit me with a sucker punch; it knocked me to One knee. I was absolutely stunned; life should have known, I wasn’t about to stay down. So I gathered up my pride, stuck it back in my heart and said; life, is that all you have… to offer?
So I got off my knee, got back in the fight; only to continue with the same bobbing and weaving routine. I wasn’t a sucker. Yeah, I said it… to myself. I knew how to take a punch, sometimes; it was like I was fighting my own heart. My bout with life got intense, this went on for fifteen… years. Sure, I got in my share of jabs; just to show life that my heart was in it to win it. But in the fifteenth… year, the hand of life shifted; my heart. It rocked me to my core, it made me do a serious gut check. Life was tough, a formidable opponent for sure. Life hit me with a blow; it brought me face to face with a Cross!
The encounter sent me to both my knees, so this time I prayed; for mercy. Oh Lord, my heart felt it; the shift. I could have avoided the Cross, but it was time to change my approach to life. I thought this time it would be the ten count, but it wasn’t counted as a knockdown. Just a moment to give my heart a new perspective, on life. My heart finally realized that we can’t go toe to toe with life, without the Faith to believe; that we can conquer life’s battles. Life is a contact sport, a fight; my heart was being prepared to face a Champion. Undisputed has been His title, amazing is the character. Just being in the presence; my heart knew that this is the Greatest!
Life’s objective, is not to win all the fights, but to keep us so distracted; that we don’t even realize our true potential. Life, you are truly a worthy opponent, but I’ve learned within my heart this simple truth. That it’s not about how hard life hits; but how hard you can get hit, and still keep moving forward. Faith, hope, love; strengths, within the right character to endure. Life is a fight, just don’t let the past; be what determines your future. Having the spirit that fights, that’s the start; wisdom is the crucial element. To know that life is best fought, with a surrendered heart!
Whenever the night tries to hold on to my soul. My heart awakens within the darkness, to assure my soul; the light is the anchor that holds. So I opened up my heart; the night gives way to the dawn. The anchor that grips my heart, it’s within the solid rock that steadies my soul. My heart is now locked within a gaze, anchored forever within a love; a love anchor deep within my soul. My soul is free, and my heart is forever nailed to the rock; where the anchor holds!
When the storm of life rages, peace has always been the stillness. The waves rise, but the tide has already turned. My heart finds rest within a calm, knowing the anchor holds. So I walk by faith, what I see; will only be on the surface, of what can truly be. Watered down, will never be my soul; my heart will never be shipwrecked, because I know the anchor holds!
Heavy sometimes becomes my heart, but my soul is forever attached to a hope; that the anchor will forever hold. The chains have been broken, cast aside are the irons; to a heart that knows how to be broken, gracefully. God’s love is the moor, my heart is just a vessel. Anchored to the rock will my heart truly be. Free, yes, my soul will forever be; to the rock that never ages. Firm and securely fasten for years has been my soul. My heart is built on only one foundation; that God’s love will forever be the cornerstone. The truth, my soul now holds on to; anchored, that will forever be my heart!
Lost, lost within your love; my heart wants to be lost, let my heart get lost within your love!
Closer, closer to your heart; draw me closer, let my love get closer to your heart!
Deeper, deeper into your heart; let my love move deeper, move my love deeper into your heart!
Glimpses, my heart has only noticed glimpses. Let my heart, behold the fullness; let my love gaze endlessly, into your heart!
Facet, every facet of your beauty. My heart is captivated, my soul wants to be forever consumed; by the beauty within every single facet of your love!
Show, show my heart how to get lost. Pull my heart closer, take my soul deeper. Let my love see more than just glimpses, let my heart experience every facet. Show my love how to get lost, lost forever within your heart!
Amazing, your love is truly amazing; your love never ceases to amaze. Nestled, my heart feels so amazing; nestled against your love. But my soul needs to be lost, lost forever within the deepest part of your heart. Found, my heart can forever be found lost. Going deeper, getting that much closer; to your heart!
How do I get to the heart of the matter? One song writer says to; “Get Jiggy with it,” but I know that it’s not that simple. I love a good mystery, so why can’t I see what’s right in front of me, better yet; how do I fix the pieces? When I first believed that I could, it was so clear within my heart and mind; but now I’m not too sure, if I even have it within me? This is a mess; life can make things seem scattered into so many pieces. I can clearly see what I have to do, so why can’t I seem to get it right? This is absolutely frustrating, truly puzzling; that I can’t figure this out, but I’m absolutely determined to make this work!
Nobody said that it was going to be easy, and I’m not going to allow myself to fall to pieces over this; quitting is not an option. Spirit, help; me to rely on you, guide my heart. My eyes may not always see clearly, but if a heart is truly open; all mysteries shall be revealed. My heart knew how to see the big picture. The struggle was never about seeing, but having the faith to believe; in what only a heart can truly see!
So I took a step back, to start with the end in mind; to know what my heart is truly trying to see? Even if you could get the pieces to fit perfectly, you would still have to do it over and over; if you decide to just put your heart back into a box. God’s love is the key; to know what is true perfection. Puzzling, isn’t it, that a heart thinks that because it gets close to God. The heart now becomes the key; to unlock the puzzles within a heart!
Even relationships are like a puzzle; when you think that you’ve got it all figured out. You still need to put the right pieces into place, just so your heart knows; to see real love, your heart always needs to be vertical. Yeah, it’s hard at times to see clearly, but with true dedication. Even the small pieces; helps to make all things, work together. All that’s truly needed, is just a little faith; to give you those unforgettable aha moments. To know that God’s love is the unseen hand, that moves our hearts. Giving us the ability; to put all the pieces, into the right places!
Deep within my heart is a song. A song playing softly, a song playing endlessly; the sweetest of love songs; God’s love is the song!
A song heard within the moments, a song heard whenever my heart just needs to be moved for a moment. Still becomes my heart, but moved is my soul; every time my heart gets lost within the moment!
A song that is His heart, a song that’s within my heart; a song weaved throughout my soul. My heart will forever sing a song; love will forever be the song. My heart would never be the same, if my soul couldn’t forever dance; to a song that will forever be a love song!
Some days it’s a slow waltz, other days it’s time to get down and boogie, but every day; it’s just the rhythm within my heart. My heart goes to bed singing to it, my soul spends all night dreaming lyrics that’s part of it. Sometimes a lullaby, sometimes lyrics to get me by; but always a love song!
A song that speaks to my heart, a song that forever plays within my soul. God, take my soul to the dance floor; slow dance with my heart. Let my heart fall in love with Your song again and again. Hold me within the quietness, whisper into my heart within the darkness. You have uniquely composed a song specifically for the rhythm within my heart. Forever my heart will sing; but only our love song!
Babe, may I have your hand, may I forever have your heart? I promise that I will treat your heart like a lady. I will open the door, and let your love feel at home; forever within the depth of my soul. Woman may I just take this moment; a moment to bask in your sweet April rain? In May I once again get to celebrate your love, as my precious May flower. Your April rain is forever beating against my heart, your beautiful flower has forever captured my gaze. Let my heart strike a pose, closed caption; words don’t need to be said, your love already says so much!
Honey, come go with me on a stroll, it’s not far over on memory lane; forever is still our destination. Let’s reflect, yeah; no regrets, babe this love is still my destiny. The month of May is so so very special, I call it magical; two hearts forever became one. Lady I DO… remember; yesterday. Oh, who can ever forget yesterday, because your love will forever be my tomorrow. I took you by the hand, you had me by the heart. May, and a day within; ours to forever remember. Loving me for all these years may not have been easy, just know that my love will forever be true!
Babe I absolutely consider it pure joy, to wake up every day; to feel your love within my heart. May I look deeply into your heart, your love sees so deeply into my soul. My heart is a canvas, God’s love is the brush. Paint on it, say forever, I have your love; God’s love will turn it into a masterpiece. Girl this is truly a love thang, so may I tell you once again; iSwear, to love you Forever. Dear sweetness, your love pours into my soul. May our hearts together truly thrive, not just survive. Your love will forever be my honey, let my heart forever be your hive. Stored up with all the sweet love, your soul will ever desire!
Babe, may not always feel the wind on my breath, you may not always see the rain fall from my eyes. I may forget what happened in the other months, but I will never forget what happens within the month of May; your love makes my heart bloom. We’ve been married for thirty years, but I’m looking forward to the next thousand years. Sweet Lady, Thank You for helping my heart to become a portrait of a better man. May 28, 1988 was truly an amazing day. The day I looked into your heart and said; Forever I Do!
A Love Story!
