iWrite


I write,

just to pour out how I feel

no one is forced to listen

emotions I need to spill


I can spend sweet moments

lingering over precious thoughts

or endure the sting of painful atonements

as they flood from the crevices in which they were caught


I can mix myself any concoction

3 parts elation, 1 part pain

not sure of my destination

just trying to relieve my brain


I can alter all the endings

stir in a little more appeal

torturing myself with dreams

that will never become real


I could smile a pretty smile

and cover my pain with lies

but here I can express what you would find

if you cared enough to look deep into my eyes


now I don't want to confuse you

with deep emotional zeal

for the joy that I share

is quite true, and quite real


but pain still haunts my skin

and hurt still clouds my mind

can't keep it all within

so in writing, release I find

Rain On The World With Me

Rain on the World With Me

Resounding Crunch
Pretzels I Munch
Chin Resting Upon My Left Knee
Train Wants To "Marry Me"
Theory Of A Deadman
It's "Not Meant To Be"
Skullcandy And Eardrum Kiss
Music Means The World To Me

Lightning Bolt
Bright And Fierce
Electricity Snatched From Me

Darkness Surrounds
Thunder Growls
Bass That Shakes And Rattles

Ear Buds Removed
Attention Glued
My Gaze Tickling The Window

Drip
Drop
Drip Drip
Drop
A Melodie Softly Ringing
Quite Entranced
I Sit In Awe
Of Nature Hypnotically Singing

How Did I Barely Notice Before
This Free Display Of Beauty ?
Twirling And Singing
Laughter Ringing
Rejoicing With Unknown Praise
Some Appear Weary
Sad, Almost Dreary
And Yet Still
They Are Dancing Along

Drip
Drop
Drip Drip
Drop
A Melodie Softly Ringing
Quite Entranced
I Sit In Awe
Of Nature Hypnotically Singing

Shouldn't We All Be
Like The Rain Drops I See
Quenching The Thirst Of The Undeserved ?
When The World Is Dry
Cracked With Need
Eventually
Rain Always Relieves

Drip
Drop
Drip Drip
Drop
Trickle
Splash
Sooth

Some Are Large
Some Are Tiny
Drip
Splat
Ting
All A Purpose They Serve
Every Single One
Gorgeous And Worthy
Of The Task They Have Received

Come With Me
To Twirl And Sing
For The Same Task
We Have Been Given
I Must At Least Try
To Quench The Thirst
Of This World I Live In

Drip
Drop
Drip Drip
Drop
Trickle
Splash
Sooth

So Many Broken Hearts
Faces That Despise Their Own Reflection
Scars And Bruises
Inside And Out
Many Shapes And Sizes
They Are Precious
All Are Loved
Just Need Someone To Show It

Drip
Drop
Drip Drip
Drop
Trickle
Splash
Sooth
Love And Compassion
Mercy And Healing

Would You Please,
Come Rain On The World With Me ?

Colossians 3:12-15(HCSB)

12 Therefore, God’s chosen ones, holy and loved, put on heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, 13 accepting one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive. 14 Above all, put on love—the perfect bond of unity. 15 And let the peace of the Messiah, to which you were also called in one body, control your hearts. Be thankful.
