A Bookof
Poems
By: M .E. Payton M ay
I Dreamdream of heaven,I sleep and wake& wish I could remain,not in the latter. Yet awake indeed Would I be in this deep deep sleep seeing heaven only once has my imagination rang so true only once did I realize under water I need not breathebecause I would be
Eternal.
Proposal did you utter? Have my inner ears heard for once the truth of a hearts longing.Do my desires deceiveDo my desires deceive twisting your words to be mine?Have I ever or always known To whom I belong or am given.If I am yoursIf I am yours take me and keep meIf I am to be given it shall not be for long.
Love you grow But oh, so slow
Nourished and cherished You begin to show.
Time you do not considerFor you stand outside of comprehension You can neither be wished nor hurried You can neither be wished nor hurried
With eyes you do not seeWhat a man sometimesConsiders you to be
Never complete and impossible to measureWith no response to our obsessions
You do as you doRequiring patienceRequiring patience
For the well spring of creation is your perfec-tion
I will wait for your paradeThe on coming celebration
That in the distance, is not so far awayA nd with concentrated gaze,
You are seen always growing nearer
I could whisper many sweet thingsCapturing your attention, arousing emotion
Yet you may loose your focusA s would I, on the true catch of the eye
To be left with nothingA fictitious love I care not for
How much more could this love be How much more could this love be If ignored we leave the immediate permeations
Of feelings that can lust no more No more than the moment
They exist outside of our imagination
I will wait for the foster of truth we bothDesire
The only way to make it, fate surrendered The only way to make it, fate surrendered Out of my handsI have no powerYet I have not youUnless given you become
To meSomething precious to behold Never owned, only borrowed Never owned, only borrowed
For the while.
Every step I take in my own direction The further I feel from youA nd even though you are just as
CloseM y decisions create
DistanceI cannot pierce through I cannot pierce through Why I just do not listenI do not know
A true father you have my best Interest in heart
A nd you would choose to never have us part
A s would I, if I could A s would I, if I could K eep the memory Of this horridThing
By my sideI would never take
OneStep awayStep away
Oh how I long for the dayI am forever in
You.
The more I think about youThe more alive you becomeThe more I believe The more real you seem
You are so much greater than me So much bigger,A nd as I see youA nd as I see youFor who you truly are
I understand who I am in youI am becoming Love,I am becoming patientI will not be selfish Nor self seeking
This life is not about me This life is not about me Its about othersA nd them
Finding their freedomIn you
So together we can all Be your body
On the edge of understanding The brink
Of breakthroughEngulfed by an instantStationed in eternity Never moving but fleeting I will capture youI will capture youHold you close
So that nothing comes in betweenHere I will find the meaning Here I will find your reasoning
LoveThe true answer
For every heart burning questionFor every heart burning questionLove
The only treasureWe are all constantly seeking
You are strong and beautiful You are ever growingInto a perfect image
You can be molded into anything he sees fitBecause you are always listening for his
voice You are waiting patiently for direction You are waiting patiently for direction
Tiptoeing blind-foldedYou smile, because you need not see
For by your waist sideHis hands lie
Holding you steadyYou can feel the warmth of his care
You are never worriedYou are never worriedOn a tight rope you are walking
Narrow on truthWhat lies below youM atters not
For you know his loveFor you
The shadows will run No darkness will standYour all encompassing
PresenceWhen you show yourself
In the reviving breaths of morning A ll of the birds rejoice, as nature sings A ll of the birds rejoice, as nature sings
Her praises A ll the daylong
For every moment you are with us You liven our souls
Our steps are quickened Until dancing comes With the evening With the evening
A nd everything you revealed to us Retreats back again
A s you breathe in the last bit of lightA nd we are all left With the shadowsOf the night
We are little children in his eyes Walking hand in hand by his side
He separates us Yet through him we are connectedA nd one day he lets the childrenHold one another’s hands
When he feels their innocence has grown When he feels their innocence has grown To a place where they cannot hurt one another
They will walk togetherIn front of him
But he will be close behindA nd in the forefront of their mindsProtecting and watching over themWhit his guidance they will walkWhit his guidance they will walk
Strong and steadfast With a love
That will forever last
Stretch me further than I will bendPlace me in the desert where I will fail
Hold me over ocean depthsIn your hands I will prevailRelease and let me fallTo bottoms I will sink
Drain the basin and there I will be Drain the basin and there I will be Teach me patience and there I will wait
For your voiceFor your commandNo stressNor strain
Just your love mending and moldingTo your perfect planTo your perfect plan
Who am IOnly who I see myself to be Whose eyes are these
That I will gaze upon my beingIt is not the past that is comingIt is the future that is to be beheld What will make me ready What will make me ready Other than becoming Who I wish to be There is no rushingThe revealing
Only the resonance Of what you tell me Refreshing my coreRefreshing my coreShowing me to me
With time we know wounds are healedbut of course the storm is what we see
the waters that drench always nourishbeing soaked
we may weigh heavysoon we will dry soon we will dry
and once again be running even if our steps are made slow
the persistence of the walkfosters growthall the time
we eventually cherish we eventually cherish for we see the menit will have made us
Love is the center Of who I amYou are the water Giving me life A nd the cradler Of my rockabyeTogether Together
We will be foreverSweet dreams
This is my hand I hold out to you This is my loveLet it surround youThis is the loveI give unto thee You, my treasureYou, my treasureI long to keep
Precious, little heart so sweet
In the weight of eternity this life has no scale yet without it I could never approach you.For this moment you allow me to live& to make meager steps towards your open arms.
