Blooming Love – 4/10/07

What is this fluttering in my breast?
‘Tis but the rising flames of love
Beneath this tender hearth–
A remembered ember that was never known.
It seizes the heart, lungs, limbs, and mind
And makes of my form a blooming flow’r,
Shivering in a bright gale.

But come to me and find me quickly,
O object of this new delight.
Leave me not trembling in wonder overlong.

To Love & To Bleed – 4/10/07

And to his lips she pressed–
Pressed her wearied heart.
She bled it in the tears
That tumbled to his breast.

~

Yon Pirate Bird – 4/10/07

The Raven stoops and spies his prey,
A lovely, glossy, glitt’ring thing,
And dropping from his flighty draft
Snatches it with twisted string.

He carries it unto his nest,
Which sails a breeze that bends the tree,
And settling to watch it well,
Does think it truly lovely.

A Question of Importance – 3/14/07

So we ask ourselves,
What is our purpose here?
It is to love and to be loved in return?
To seek pleasure to quell our pain;
To gather wealth amidst poverty?

Why do we exist?
To what end are our struggles,
Our constructs, and our plans?
We live amidst indecision
Ignorance is our companion.

So we ponder amidst the mild
The reason for our souls to be.
To whom to we belong,
To where to we go
Once indecision ends, and our souls depart?

To the unbelievers, there are
No answers.

Surely – 3/27/07

Surely,
Surely there is a loving God
A father that leads us to hope.
A kind hand amidst chaos
Warmth against our woes.

Surely the love in each soul is not mere,
This gentleness more than natural.
I am guided!
I am loved!
To say that man imparts these things
Is no more than empty sails.

In the heavens I will search for the stars
So in my soul I shall search for my God.
I shall follow this Light back to its source
From the mirror of my spirit.
And perhaps one day I shall trace it–
Trace is back to His beautiful face.
I have decided to post these all at once because a) I didnt feel like posting them seperately and b) they all share the common ground of having been written in Spanish Class at my community college. Its a wierd place to get inspiration, I know, but its better than sitting and looking at the clock tick. 8D
I'll give you a short explanation of each one.

Blooming Love: This is what I want it to feel like. This is what I have always imagined it to be.

To Love and To Bleed: The woman has been trapped by one life, a facade she has worn for so long, that when she finds a love that can accept her for who she really is, she gives herself to him in one kiss, so full of emotion it is beyond comprehension.

Yon Pirate Bird: My friend, :iconyoxsgirl: wrote a story about a queen's niece who is kidnapped by a pirate named Raven. The tree and his nest is his ship (crows nest....har har am I not the wittiest thing ever?)

A Question of Importance: I know for myself that I am an incredibly introspective person who has a need-to-know-everything complex. One of the biggest things that I think people struggle with is that they dont, whether subconsciously or no, understand the meaning of life and who they are. I have come to a place in my life where I feel like I have a pretty good grasp of it, but I wouldnt were it not for my faith.

Surely: Im going to see Him one day. Till then, I can only wonder.
