Heart Melts

You will be my love,
Forever, I know,
I’ll be your man,
With every breath, I’ll grow.

Love is like a storm,
A tempest wild and free,
In its winds, we are lost,
But still, you’re here with me.

The world may bend and break,
But in your arms, I stand,
You are my heart’s home,
The world’s a distant land.

With every glance, I fall,
In ways I can’t explain,
You’ve woven dreams in me,
Like sunshine after rain.

The heart is but a traveler,
And you, its guiding light,
In your eyes, I find my path,
In your love, my flight.

So, let the world be heavy,
Let the storm clouds rise,
With you, I am unbroken,
In love’s eternal skies.

You will be my love,
Forever, I know,
And I’ll be your man,
With every moment, I’ll show.

In your love, I find my peace,
In your touch, my soul,
Together, we’ll chase forever,
In a love so fierce, so strong…..

We Wear the Mask

We Wear the Mask

We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,–
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.

Why should the world be overwise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.

We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!
