Affaire D’amour

Jun 22, 2015 By Sara in Prose Tags: heartache

We were angels and sinners

Wide-eyed believers

I passed away into kingdom come

And fell into you

The secret in your eyes

Held all of me

Days and days into our liberty

I found myself chained

In a fallen destiny

Why were the stars so cruel

They cursed us through

In all the places

I once found you

This sad, burning ache

Told me things I never knew

I thought of how my dreams

Always led me back to you

Come back to me…

Come away, I cried

There upon the lost, ancient sea

You died.

Pandemonium

We are one In a black and white world From thorns to crowns We bleed in colour A man’s breath Is God’s breath We desecrate His image When we remain silent Brimming and brewing A broken world bleeds Mercy like rain For every shattered heart We are dwarfed by indifference Shadowed by fear They march(…)

Skyscrapers

I grew up in skyscrapers A divine frontier, a home in the stars Nights of warm ember, lights shine forever It was you and I In a carousel dream Childhood melds into leaves, afternoons in the sun Dappled and strong, the bird that calls Echoes down marble halls A light in my room (…)
Redemption

The firmament of time, Where memories of deep Shimmer and fade As we walk into a new millennium I was lost and undefined When I gave all I had into words That would change my life Forever. I looked into the mirror And the girl was far, far gone into the vale of(…)
The Pursuit

The Pursuit was a wonderful and new experience in my life. This was my first time attending a ministry training conference. I was in a foreign place, away from loved ones and everything I knew to be home. I’d never been to London, Ontario, and was excited for it. I did not know that a(…)
Atonement

One year fragile The heart remembers her dreams It was an age gone by When desperate desire culminated into fantasy and delirium We came true at last. I remember every emotion, every day We live in memory Each golden moment treasured in the sun I found these pieces in your eyes. These tears stain(…)
