lega sea, lega nocean; singa song, singa pore.

looking back was the sin of the sea, the folly of the ocean.
how do I remember a single man's wedding? 
who's whose in this town?

a beautiful coastline?
a lovely scene?
was that all these people think about? 
all those people value?
what about what's real?
what about the reality of possibly losing the gorgeousness of a joyous ending?

the prayers continue.
 

he loves me, he loves me not

I met a King.
I don't want to rule, he said.
I couldn't help but ask, 'why king?'
I listened, and his answer sounded just like this:
'why would I want to rule without my queen?'
'I love her more than words, her joy is more precious than any    THING.'
'her smile lights my day.'
'her love knows no bounds, hers is a HUM.UN.GO.US. love.'
'her single child, would be THE child.'
'her single meal, would feed the nations.'
'yet, my rule says stay away, rule from afar.'
to hear.
to see.
the king with everything, including power, wanting only his queen.

as for me, I turned my face toward the hummingbird outside the window, and stared.

how wide how deep how great

how deep is your (L word) for me?
tell me, "what it is going to be?"
do you see yourself messing with a person like me?
on your own, or so all your friends are all going to see, now?

who can tell the difference between yesterday and today?

"keep your words nice and sweet in case you have to eat them."
-a queen i know


 

oh magnify the Lord with me

anger inside; the enemy LIEs.  what a scheme; when sitting next to a breakthrough. 

saying goodnight to ---

the runaround.
they think me, even me
deaf dumb crazy and stupid
trying 2 be just very very cool
when He knows the truth
they are wrong; two days behind and five caches short --
washing their hands of the matter
seeing the domesticated
seeing some perceived inefficacy
seeing not the big picture yet the small recent memory fragments
that man's world -
this hard examination
He also told me, don't you dare give up
speak up, hear down
