With you inside
With you inside
My heart shines new
Reflections of Heaven
An essence of two
And dreams
That come true
With you inside
Forget about death
Our tomorrows remain
We live in God’s house
And you are my breath
Content of stride
Skies fill with pride
As nature sings
And life just tastes better
With you inside
Our first
St. Valentine’s together
Forever
I love you
Shall - 2019
I promise
March 1, 2018
Give you half my Heaven
You can’t be forsaken
With those words
A year ago this day
I gave my heart away
I love you forever dear
As of now it’s been one year
I’m proud of you
Proud of every instant of your life
Proud of how you lived it loud
You live in my heart
Beyond a world not good
As it could've been to you
I promise to make it up
I promise
Shall - 2019
Love attended
In my thoughts
All the time
In the long grass
Above the cliff
We’ll share tea
By the sea
Create songs
Tell stories
Tease
We’ll write poems
To each other
And compare
Hold out your hand
Or wake in night
I’ll be there
We’ll marry
All the time
Laugh and love
And rhyme
When I look at you
You’ll never wonder
Where my thoughts
Have wandered to
I promise you
Love attended
Shall - 2019
With you
I love your spirit
I love you
I invited you into my soul
Told you it was your new home
I expected you’d make it your own
You changed it all
Moved things around
I like what you’ve done
I’m better now
I've never given up
This much before
I've come close
But not really
Not really
It’s always been me
And now it’s we
I’ve done alright
In things I do
Kept my word
Stayed mostly true
Always tried
But you’re my pride
No waste of time
Nor moment lost on blue
I get to be the lucky one
Who gets to be with you
Shall - 2019
God’s light
I look at you
And I want you
I do
Close embrace
Two become one
Love flows to you
You flow to me
Skin on skin begins
Spirits to spirits within
Deep into your eyes
I leap into forever
Hearts chance
Souls dance
All around us
Surrounded
By God’s light
Shall - 2019
Girl
You’re my love
My everything
What do I see?
And who’s this spirit
That stands before me?
The world took your life
It sought an idol you see
An object to exploit
A commodity
A cosmic flame
For glorious fame
Good fortune yes
A circus mess
It never sleeps
The beast must feast
It gnaws and tears
Demands you share
Withstand the stares
There’s not enough
To go around Selah
Then comes the covet
Resentment shame
The jealous blame
An endless game
No harbor safe
To protect your name
You’re on your own
You’re all alone
So what cold world?
What do you seek?
What must you score?
What is it
That you’re looking for?
And is this before you
What my eyes see?
No my love
I seek no fame
I need no game
Extend no blame
Suggest no shame
I hope you see
What you hoped to be
An honest me
Who loves you
In all honesty
A man who sought
A girl to love
To share a life
Heaven above
A forever home
Where your precious soul
Can be your own
You’re in Heaven now
So what’s this world
Given back somehow?
Does it still take?
I don’t
I give you me
I promise for eternity
And swear before the Trinity
I’ll stare
And always care
Until I should die
And join you there
My love
When I look
I see a girl
I see you
Shall - 2019
All of you
It’s your spirit
Makes your body beautiful
Yours is a beautiful spirit
No other girl living or past
Could ever keep my heart
Nothing could last
No one but you
If a girl like you arrived today
Identical in every way
She couldn’t stay
Because
She wouldn’t be you
Only you own your darkness
Only you hold your light
I want both
I want all of you
Shall - 2019
What it means
Anger finds no reason
Because I’m yours
Fear is real
But courage too
For we’re together
Emptiness absent
Constant thirst
Leads to your shore
Opening to a lake
I swim forever
Temple and tear
Softly anointed
By your kiss
Forest sun
A radiant dawn
Skyscape mountains
Rain cliffs wind and sea
All begin with you
You’re where I belong
You’re my home
That’s what it means
To be yours
A year my love
Shall - 2019
More than air
You’re as perfect
As perfect gets
And you should know
That when I stare
It’s just because
I love you so
I love you
More than air
Shall - 2019
Everything good
Would be less
Without you
Tonight you’re forty-eight
There’s none more beautiful
Than you
I love every curl of your hair
Every hair out of place
Shadow of your eyes
The shape of your face
All the features
A man’s supposed to love
About a woman
I love about you
I love them exactly as you are
And every contour in between
I love your spirit’s flash
In the corners of my eyes
The rush of you inside me
It’s your kiss
I love marrying you daily
Reading the bible to you
Surrendering to you
Waking up in love
I love everyday with you
Your voice in my head
I love telling you
You’re my one and only
A hundred times
Then giving you
A hundred more times to ask
I love being yours
Stay with me spirit love
You’re everything
You stop me in my tracks
I want forever with you
And no one else

Merry Christmas
To spill you
All over me
Let you flow
Across my mind
Down my body
Through my soul
Not orderly
Messy
Sweet passion
Sticky emotion
Reliefs pool
Every contour
Seeping slow
Leave nothing
When you’re done
With me
All I am
Belongs to you
Merry Christmas
Delicious love
I need you
I want you
Always
Shall - 2019
Incredible you
“You’ll not face
A thing alone
Nor question if
My love stay true
I’ll run my heart
Out of ink for you”
I thirst for you
Live for you
Making
Sleeping
Waking
Love
Eternal
Harmony
One skin
Two spirits
One destiny
Each day
I love you more
You’re incredible
Shall - 2020
Together on
Our life
Began with your death
Now the day returns
A second year
And here we are
Together
I’ve learned ways
To feel you
To be yours
You’re everything
You fill me
I know this day
Marks change
But it’s also
A milestone
On our way
To forever
Some say love fades
Intensity can’t sustain
We are its weakness
Maybe so
But my flame will burn
Until I’m consumed
Into yours
You’re all I want
Shall - 2020
Pool of you
When I see you
I’m filled with joy
Sublime contentment
Immanent pleasure
As though I’m diving
Into the deepest
Most beautiful water
That ever existed
To splash into your smile
I’m completely nourished
By your countenance
How did I ever live
Before you?
Shall – 2020
Most beautiful girl
You remind me of
The most beautiful girl
That ever existed
Because that’s who you are
To me
Shall – 2020
