Poem 1

They told me

“The numen is real”;

Someone most high,

bigger than all.

A numinous,

unknown to me;

my heart urged

and my mind dreaded.

Innocence awed

as the King displayed

His majesty

and unstoppable love.

“Never turn back,

for you are mine”

He quoth.

Words that never obliterated,

marked by the One

who never became silent.

Poem 2

Odd life,

Time changed.

Lost chances,

Perfect to forget.

Closing ears and eyes,

running from Him;

fearing the light,

crawling in the dark.

Ignoring His voice,

tried to vanish his mark

with outstanding noise.

Exchanging his voice

with senseless verses;

trading his glory

for brief pleasure.

Emptiness filled my heart,

called the dark a friend;

in ignorance,

looking for the end.

,

Poem 3

My friend,

the dark,

where I hid

and dreamed death.

Inspiration broke through,

filled with vice verses

made of tears and blood,

looking for peace.

In a quest for peace,

lust arrived; my soul imprisoned.

Seconds of pleasure,

never enough.

Seconds of joy,

became hours of sorrow.

Weeping every night,

my bones fractured.

Dazed heart,

numb in sorrow,

as it died alone.

Everything seemed void,

Infinite emptiness.

Just looking for happiness

where I knew I'd never find.

Poem 4

“Ive fall in love

of the dark,

this is my place.

My refuge.”

I said.

Scared to death,

Asked for help

Screaming on the inside

wanting someone,

to be by my side.

In the end,

I was alone again

All I felt was pain

My refuge

became my jail

As time passed,

I desired death

Poem 5

In the darkest night

when everything rotted

Someone answered

A whisper

The Numen I used to call out

appeared as a loving father

All I expected was wrath and punishment

but love overcome all

He said in a loving peaceful breeze;

This is the last night you'll spend alone

Look me in the eyes so I know you know

I'm everywhere you want me to be.

The last night you'll spend alone,

I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go,

I'm everything you need me to be.

My heart broke, and he kept the shreds

He was there,

I remembered his promise to me;

“Never turn back,

for you are mine”

Poem 6

I never felt loved

I never loved

But he showed

Jesus, my redeemer

No turning back,

I said.

He clean my clothes

Wash my wounds

Filled every hole

Jesus my redeemer.

No more a numen,

but a loving father,

Caring brother

and faithful friend

A new beginning,

With him by my side

Everything had a purpose.

Love Is here

Come to the waters

You who thirst and you'll thirst no more

Come to the Father

You who work and you'll work no more

And all you who labor in vain

And to the broken and shamed

Come to the treasure

You who search and you'll search no more

Come to the lover

You who want and you'll want no more, no

And to the bruised and fallen

Captives bound and brokenhearted

He is the Lord

By His stripes He's paid our ransom

From His wounds we drink salvation

He is the Lord, He is the Lord

He cleans your darkness

and makes you complete

As he reaches your heart

Everything is Love

Making all,

Changing all

and saving your soul

As he saved mine

Because when he appears

Love is here

Love is now

Love is pouring from His hands, from His brow

Love is near it satisfies

Streams of mercy flowing from His side

Streams of mercy flowing from His side

'Cause Love is here

Love is here
