Your Words Will Be there

As light gives away the gloom

So your words ease away my blues.

You know the right moment to whisper

You’re like a nun playing sister

You strum a handful of notes

As your words massage my bones

To nestle in the marrows

Tending suture to tattered hope

Your word is a strong tower

Filling the volume of every hour

When I’m scared

When I drown in my tears

Your words will be there.

Dimensions

Take me to a dimension

Where my motives are voiced with passion,

Take me to where I’m known as I am.

Take me to the revelation of me.

Talk to me about the inner man,

Open my eyes wide, make me see

The secret things that give definition

To the little things that make up the whole.

Touch my essence, make the weak strong;

Lead a stomped man into the fold,

To where I belong and I’m accepted.

Take me in your arms bring me home.

You’re all I’ve ever coveted.

Take me to where I’d see your face instead.
