Drawn To You

I'm drawn to you
Like a moth to a flame
When I drift to sleep
I whisper your name

From my lips sometimes
Flows spontaneous speech
Confessing my love for you
It seems out of reach

I can see a portrait
Within my mind
Of the love we knew
We'd someday find

Encased behind a glass
Because it's priceless and such
For now I can look
But I cannot touch

But I can never see your face
At night when I dream
I guess because your beauty's so bright
I'd be blinded by the beam

For now I'm just drawn to you
I guess soul to soul
Drowning in my tears
And longing to be whole

That

At first when you told me, I thought you had lied
When you said I couldn't stop thinking of you if I tried

At first this truth, I utterly denied
I realized from you, I cannot hide

You haunt my soul deep from inside
You left no room for my stubborn pride

My separateness from you has long ago died
Forever and ever our souls are tied

You say forget our pasts, just let them slide
"You belong to me now."you gently sighed

I submit to your way and I'll let you guide
What God has brought together, no one can divide

I'll patiently wait here for the big ride
It's worth the pain of waiting, a love bona fide 

Pictures Of A Rose

“Why do you have

So many pictures of him?”

“He lightens my thoughts

When my outlook is dim”

“But he’s not God

Has he become an idol to you?”

“If you really knew me

You'd know that's something I wouldn't do.

You see, for many years

I was in a very dark place

No one could rescue me

But then I saw his face

I'd seen his face before

Pretty much for my whole life

Then one day via tragic circumstance

There was a lift upon my strife

I felt a large part of my soul

Slowly descended up to Paradise

God knew only this situation

Would be the one to open my eyes

He knows the secrets of my soul

For He's the one to place it there

This thing is no coincidence

Or pulled straight out of thin air

It was used to draw me back

To the place I should have been

It made me see I was living wrong

It identified my sin

I'm not sinless, I mess up

Each and every day

But when I see that handsome face

It leads me to the right way

You surround yourself with flowers

For their fragrance and their alluring beauty

I surround myself with pictures of him

Because he's a God given exquisite rose to me.”

Everclear

Your love makes me so high
Even more than could Everclear
Loving you  intoxicates me
And it will forever, dear

Even more than moonshine
Stronger than Everclear
No matter what I do
Your spirit draws me near

Drawn to you like a drunkard
Is drawn to Everclear
Like a never ending addiction
Much like the love that I've got here

I've never actually had it
The drink they call Everclear
But I've heard all about it
Not even as strong as the love we share

I never want to have it
That which they call Everclear
It would only get in the way
Of loving you, most precious dear

Soul Knows

Your soul knows
Better than your mind
If you want to know the truth
You gotta look there to find

Your mind's been overloaded
Through the years with many things
But if you search inside yourself
A little bell of truth rings

Don't let biases and traditions
Get in your way
Just drop your pride
And begin to pray

Just clear your mind
Start with a blank slate
Listen to the sound
Behind Heaven's gate

Your soul is connected
To His Holy Spirit
Just let Him lead
And go right with it

As soon as we realize
Our mind doesn't know it all
We will listen to our soul
And we can heed our true call
