Destined

I haven’t seen reality in a while, no where to be found are the feelings I have lost.

The dreams within me, the times that have passed so shortly to become ages.

There is loss in my heart, a yearning none the less of a desire to hold you.

I walked away towards the lightened alleys of my mind, writings on the walls of nothing.

So many times had I held this to be such a high regard, the plateau of my searching.



There were times I thought I would be lost for always, in an everlasting drowning pool.

Looking around to see that there was nothing to hold onto, all freedom taken from me.

I had spoken words, verses of truth and life all within the hidden trails of yesterday.

You showed me a way to be allowed, a way to love, the truth of what life would be.

Entering darkness of a tortured soul to behold a man hiding from life and driven by death.



I remember the first time, the way I shook and trembled with fear, nothing held me back.

Tears rolled down my cheek to rest upon my lips, no one has ever seen my weakness.

A man holding his heart in his hand, not knowing what to be destined and how to love.

I have thanked the lord many times for letting me see you, for the joy you bring.

I wish I can give what you have brought to me, the life back to a lifeless soul.



Your eyes, such beauty when I look into the depth of what I feel in my heart.

You are there with me, holding my hand and touching my face with such love.

You have a kiss that leaves me breathless and wishing you never left me, I miss you.

The thoughts of you run in my mind controlling my every emotion, I hear you.

The words you speak so sweetly when were together, you remind me of why I love you.



No feeling ever drowned me so deeply within my soul; a heart that died is now alive.

In me I find a new man, a stronger will to see the sky and visit the ends of it all.

To reach the destiny God has before me, to follow into the night a new star.

Chosen was the day we met, and destined was the eve we kissed into the dawn.

You are my own in every way, for you are my twin and always will remain my love.
