Restraint
Is this the way from now on?
restraint and silenced emotion
only kisses on the cheek from now
a hug thats cut far too short
to stop me saying what i shouldnt

Is this love I have not enough
to see me through the baggage
i unwittingly struggle to carry behind me.

Youve seen me laugh, and sing
and cry naked
In company must I forget this?
hiding the fact I long to breathe you in
as my air
Every scene, every thought
is shrouded in you
In such short , sweet weeks
my soul has been bared and opened
Must i lock it away again
Be part of my peace and happiness
without restraint.
But even restraint is a glory within your arms.
Some people have to have the sultry evenings Cocktails in the blue, red and grey But I like every minute of the day.

  • Oh our favorite friend restraint.

    I am afraid I don't do that well.

    Good work. Helped remind me of the times I tried some of this stuff. Water flows too easily out of my eyes and gives it away.

    Enjoyed it. Really.

    looking out the windows
    over the fields and into
    the privacy of god's word
    law what is law
    i have the nature to write
    i have the conviction inside
    but sometimes the heat
    sometimes the heat it
    steals my what would jesus do


    beautiful poem you wrote
    convicted
