Ship Tossed

She's been tossed at sea many times before

God and her first mate have always been there
to guide her back to sure where she usually finds
the calm she misses so much these days
The waves seem to be taking pieces of her heart
scattering them where they may
Maybe one day the pieces of her bruised and broken heart
will build something beautiful from where they lay

If this ship tossed could ask one thing of the knower
She would ask Him every night when she sends
up her prayers and blessings to His kingdom if
He could please make sure He takes care of
her first mate

He Intrigues Her

He intrigues her more and more
with every text he sends
She'd  love to learn more about him and
hopes he'll let her in
He tries to hide beneath a thick skin but,
when all is said and done
she sees the beautiful heart he has within

Even though her heart skips a beat for him
like it once did
for another in her younger days
He gives her a ray of hope every time
he texts or calls her
Yet she still wonders if heartbreak will be left behind
or if love will win out in the end

This woman's heart is full of love
she hopes to share with the one who intrigues her
If he's lucky to receive her heart
she will love him with everything she has to give

Do You Think of Me?

There is a woman who's up tonight
not because she wants to be but,
because she made a choice she can't reverse now
On this sleepless night the brief moments you shared
play through her mind
As these blissful snapshots ignite a flame
deep within her soul she asks silently
Do you think of me?

The truth is she thinks of you and
wonders how you are, every chance she gets
Just once she'd like to read a, "Good Morning Beautiful text
like she use to not so long ago
Her heart can't keep beating in a rhythm that seems to be asking
Do you think of me?

If you're not thinking of her like you say you have been
please be the gentleman she believes you are and
let her go with your best wishes
So she may never again have to silently ask
Do you think of me?

I Love You

When you hear the words I love you
what do you think?
She once thought I love you meant
His heart was hers to protect and hold dear from
the time he gave it to her till forever past
Why would he hurt the woman he called the
love of his life?
Well now I love you is a three word phrase
that at the end of the day hurts like hell

She knows something now she always knew but
because she lost herself in their love
she managed to forget
She forgot how to love herself
Now when she looks in the mirror
she says I love you to the woman staring back

She hopes God will bring someone into her life
that can love her beyond her heart and past her soul
where only he and God dwell
Someone who says I love you and
means it as much as she will when
they find one another in God's time

Praying For Daylight

Dear God,
She knows she's been writing poems
to thank you since she found the gift you gave her long ago
This poem is no exception and like the others
it comes from her heart
A place she hopes she'll never stop believing in

You've seen her through some dark times as of late
Some of which she wishes she could forget
Never the less, the lessons you've
instilled in her, are full of value
she can use throughout her life

Even if she hasn't asked you aloud
you've heard her heart praying for daylight
Thank you; the daylight is finally breaking through the clouds
She is realizing even though her heart has been broken
many times on this journey she's been on
The dark times are blessings to
