More from *saykha

Winter she closed her eyes
wishing that the wind would be gone
that she could feel her body no more

she opened her mouth
her heart pleading
that she sing her song once more

she held out her hand
to the treacherous snow
forgiving it as it fell

so she forgot of herself
and sang to the trees
giving life as her syllables fell

When I am Here Beauty crowds me 'till I die
Taking from me my very breath
Lights surround me, piercing sighs
Cutting in me a beautiful death

Your heart has found me, consuming you
I always cry when I am here
Your love surrounds me, breaking through
the cords of life that I hold dear

I'm not alive when I'm with you
Hearing whispers of a heart that tears
Your bleeding heart loves me so true
Your beauty crowds me when I am here
Searching Beware when you find honey
When you eat to much of it
You'll become sick from your finding
And hate every drop of it

For we don't fill because we're empty
We don't consume because we lack
We feel hollow and we're trying
to fill every hole, void and crack

Life has handed us a bowl of tears
And we're confused of where to search
The problem is not just physical
Someone stole my joy and myrth

So you take in more, that what you need
Like an addict, desperately crying
When I'm full I can't feel the pain
I can't feel what my soul is hiding
In This Place in this place
it's only you
nothing else exists

nothing worth crying for
nothing worth laughing for
not being drenched
in your substance

I wish I could be here forever
I wish I could see
only you
to not feel the pain of the fiery arrows
that life hauls at me

their angry voices scream at me
dragging me away
into the haunting visible
I don't want to hear them anymore
your presence taste of beauty
of everything I want

hide me in a place
where the arrows can't find me
let me slumber in your veins
breathing you I find my faith
hearing them takes me away

Fearful Dance

by *saykha

In tranquil moves he bears with me
As I struggle to find the flow
With loving grace He takes my hand
To teach me that I might know

With bladed eyes he directs the path
Turning my gaze in the right direction
With soft swift moves his legs turn mine
So I can see him in my reflection

With worthy arms he catches me
Before I strike the ground
With careful hands he lifts me up
His depth giving sound

With loving comfort his gestures flow
As he gracefully starts the dance
In tranquil moves he bears with me
As we finish its opening stance

This is my entry for :iconthewritersmeow:'s exercise "The Turmoil Within" :pointr: [link]

My inner turmoil is a struggle to be exactly the person God wants me to be. To have the qualities such as love, patience, kindness, long suffering and gentleness. Off course I can't be this all by myself so He helps me. When I'm in His presence I feel calm so the normal stresses of life don't upset me the way they do: I don't lose my temper in situations where I would lose my temper; I have a sense of love and kindness to even the people I pass on the street; Live doesn't get me down because I always have a sense of peace when I'm in His presence and the list goes on and on. The problem is I'm struggling to stay in His presence throughout the day - so I'm losing my temper, being rude to people because I'm in a hurry, etc. so I'm not who I want to be. My turmoil is having the self discipline to stay with Him through my day so that I can be more like Him.
The person I'm dancing with in the poem is Jesus and the dance is the self-discipline to stay in His presence. Every time I lose sight of Him through the day He always reminds me of Him and that I must stay with Him (this is where He catches me) so we start over again with the dance (self-control) where He is the master dancer.

Lovely, hon. I dance this way with Him also, and am still stumbling beneath His sure direction. And yet, He is so amazing that He integrates even some of the trips and tangles I introduce into the beauty of His flow, and I'm always stopping in amazement at how He is such a master at making things turn out to His advantage.

Yes, God is amazing in how He works and how He makes things work out - He even considers how we will mess up and uses that as well :D I'm really glad you know Him :heart:

Ah yes, way to use that repetition, "In tranquil moves he bears with me." Yes!

I liked it a lot. You definitely gave life to the dance. Great work!

Thank you so much :D that line is the main focus of the poem so I thought it would be fitting in repeating it

Ah, I have this same exact problem. Life has so many temptations and distractions that get between me and Jesus. It is really difficult, and what you're talking about takes much discipline. I wish you well on this journey! ^v^ Just try to remain encouraged, and God *will* help you!

This is a masterful love poem, and I must admit, I'm jealous of your relationship with Jesus if it can move you to such beauty.

Thank you :) He is my inspiration and all of it comes from Him - seriously, if I write a poem on my own it's really really bad ^_^ The closer you get to Him to more beauty and love He'll pour out on you :heart:
