Grant Me
Grant Me Succour
From wants and desire
Grant me Surcease
From constant ire
I beg you
Higher beings
Grantor of wishes
Grant me Love
Peace within Everlasting
See me
Look beyond
Allow Me to endure
This nightmare
Of Living
Grant Me I beg
Peace Eternal
Together
Heart Body and Soul.

I Wish~
I wish to wake up
next to him in
morning light,
I wish to give him
my passionate
mind,
I wish to feel his
desire with every rough
touch,
I wish to share my
beauty with him like I
once did,
I wish to lay with him
at night
again.

Hear the words of peace
and love
spoken with my hands
may my voice be ever mute
and my deeds and duties
calmly resolute
kindness is an action
that the whole world
needs to hear
If compassion was
the global language
the world
would could
dry her tears
and love
spoken with my hands
may my voice be ever mute

Earth of life, earth of our children
Please forgive us for having taken
All your wealth for stupid use
Hope they'll be able to reduce
Trash we have quickly created
By our greed to be consumed
Earth of life, earth of our children
Forgive us for your future uncertain

LOVE
She is the mother of my children
The wife I have loved for years
We both have shared happiness
And occasionally some tears
As we have grown older
Our love has matured
Sharing lives and family
Togetherness assured
What ever the future will be
Our love will remain carefree.

I never let go of what we had, instead I hid it because you were happy.
Whenever you speak to me now, I go back to that place more than 3 years ago.
Just me and you.
Is there ever a way we can go back there?
I'll be waiting for you there, forever, always & a day.

I'll be waiting for you there, forever, always & a day.
Your finger grazes your bottom lip and time stands still
In that moment, every tear I have ever shed is from your words
Every joy I have ever felt is from your kiss
And you stare at me
Cross
Because I haven’t heard a word you have said.

To a world of wounded souls,
You are not a burden.
Though you are broken, you are not finished.
Though you are wounded, you are not gone.
Stand up.
Breathe.
Let us wash each other in tears of joy, and tears of grief.
Let's hold our hands against these wounds.
You are not a burden.
Though you are broken, you are not finished.
Though you are wounded, you are not gone.
Stand up.
Breathe.
Let us wash each other in tears of joy, and tears of grief.
Let's hold our hands against these wounds.
