A poem
I’ve known you
Before anything was…your breath of life was within me
I’ve loved you
Mere words can’t explain
A passion enveloped in 1 Corinthians 13
A royal king and queen
You’re mine
I’ve bought you at price
No not with money, silver or gold
I bought you with my own life
You’re taken
My church my bride
The greatest love story from the inception of time
But I can’t have you
My love is righteously jealous
Too blazing hot for your lukewarm
No more long nights waiting for you to come home
My yoke is easy yet you take on what is hard
Pleasure has become your god
A little sip of strong drink
Stripping you of the purity I created you to be
No I can’t compromise
I placed eternity in your heart
All that is fleeting will never satisfy, please depart
His romantic ways can never fill that hole
Run! Her kiss will steal your soul
I’ll change you back to who you were
You must decide
I cannot wait forever
The end is near
The last days are here
Stop looking through screens and scrolling through pages
You’ll never find your reflection where light does not exist
I alone can mirror this person you’re trying to fix
Come
It’s morning and you’re hung over
Yet, I will take you
Throw it up
Regurgitate all the remnants of your past
Because I still love you
And no amount of sin can change that
Hold my hand
Stretched out across this wooden cross
I’m dying to reach you
So draw near
Peel back all the layers in my presence
I see it all
The several coats of fraud blanketing your flaws
My blood will wash you
Like bleach beyond the stars
Don’t be ashamed
There’s salvation in my name
I can sense your fear
I know you’re afraid
What if the world leaves me behind?
What about the dream job I hope to find?
What if my lover doesn’t wait for me?
What if getting high makes me feel free?
But surely surely I profess to thee
All you will ever need is found in me
For what lies before you will soon dissolve
This flesh, this body will one day evolve
Listen carefully for I have much for you
Let my holy word pierce right through
Bear with the stinging hiss of conviction
For the cut is part of the transition
Sit still as I turn up the heat
The fire is key in this refinery
No need to search too far
For I’m right where you left me
Come just as you are
I will fill your empty
My river never runs dry
I love you
There’s no need to hide
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
