Love in not so short a phrase

So today I had no idea what I was going to write, in fact I had no idea for a poem. Then I kept looking for one person to get online so I could talk to her, the longer the day went on the more my heart wept. I didn't get a chance to talk to her, but a poem began to stir as I was watching the AMC Artist of the Decade concert. The Artist was George Strait and after two amazing hours of different artist getting on stage and signing their favorite George Strait song it hit me, my blog had to be about love tonight poem or no. Don't fret though I have thought up a poem and I will write it as I go along tonight (which if you didn't know, my best poems come from my emotions and my heart with no editing involved.) So here is a poem to someone deep in my heart.

If I could write you a song
It would be a song of love
If I could sing to you just once
I would sing you a lullaby
I would tell you I love you
That I would never leave you
If I could hold you again
I'd never want to let go
If I could kiss you softly
Upon you forehead I would lay it
If you would walk with me
I'd tell you my dream
If I held your hand
I'd die for just a second
Just to be revived
By a smile on your face
If I told you a secret
Would you keep it locked away
If I told you I loved you
Would you say it right back
If I were to die tomorrow
I'd be happy to go
Just as long as I knew
That my heart was safe with yours

Trial Poetics

So last night as I was thinking about this blog and the ideas I've had for it, A poem started to form. I was lying in bed listening to a podcast and getting ready to fall asleep, so I had no way to write it down then I remembered I had my phone close at hand and I thus began to write:

How I long for You
When I am down on my knees
Oh how I cry out
When tears flow down my cheek
Lord hear my prayers
When I am desperately calling
Hold me close
Let me feel Your love
When I feel alone
Whisper words of fondness
Let me know that You are here
Lord let Your light shine
Unto the darkest hour of my life
Lord I lift this prayer to You
As I lay down my head to sleep

In the Beginning

So thanks to a good friend whom I love dearly, I have decided to attempt this blog thing. My outlook for this is for me to attempt to write a poem a day, however if that doesn't work I will at least write something everyday. So in the beginning I have created a plan and I've begun an inspiration. In the beginning I have started a new chapter, I have turned a new page. In the beginning I have dreamed of a brighter tomorrow when I end each yesterday with a prayer and a smile.

You may comment as you will, I'll shy not away from criticism or hatred. I will always keep a calm head about me and truthfully I will keep you whom read this in my prayers. That I may touch you with my words, and move you with my senses.

Until tomorrow, I love, and go in peace.
