Alan Paul Stevens

I dreamed
You came to me at night
Weak with desire
I waited
...

Names carved into stone tell an ancient tale
Of days long past and youthful dreams that pale
With wounds endured and crafted in travail
...

Let us pretend

Like children
...

A heart of sorrow
Which cannot be repaired
Lost in life's silent ache
Burns holes in my memory.
...

A crown of honour

Bleeding submission
...

I waited for your call
From the edge of recollection
The warehouse of my heart
Into a chamber of desolation.
...

Strike the iron and split creations seed,
with force and power that divides, build the
ship that will herald the breath of promise.
...

You shout at me
But I am not listening

Surrounded by noise
...

Old arguments fill my head
Regrets
Sorrow

Things I want to say
...

You float around my mind
You invade my slumber
You run through my veins
You live in my heart
...

The oil of your word
Drips through my hands, anointing me
Your sweet aroma
Floods through my senses, filling me
...

A bitter pill given takes away my breath
Inherited nature leads me to my death
Every moment lived drives me to my fate.
...

Intense the intoxication of my heart

As heavens spirit flows through every part
...

Sip the wine as it kisses my lips, that
dance of delight which entices my heart,
drunk on the feelings of unrestrained joy
...

Kiss the badge
This is my team
My allegiance
My dream
...

Stop
Trying
To make it right

Stop
...

Awaken my mind to the spirit
Aware of Christ's life on the inside
Not just my thoughts
Emotions
...
