trembling chaos
still i marvel at the beauty of your face
true your heart is
filled with such reason
that i hesitate to
give you my embrace
it is fair that i care so much about one small touch?
let's compare -- is it better to never love if you might lose?
two spirits' fusion
clouding my vision
someone tell me how it's
possible to fail
lend me faith and
lend me your prayers
as i forsake all desire
and don this veil
is it clear that i'm motivated by hope and not by fear?
not a tear will run down my face for it's faith i choose
When Daybreak rides her chariot o'er the mountain's highest place,
Extending now her golden dewdrop hand.
When Beauty overtakes me I am down upon my knees,
Breathing in the misty air so sweet.
Serenity then pulls me in and leaves my heart at ease
Upon its smooth and wonderful receipt.
I notice silver moonlight as it streams across my eyes
And settles down against tomorrow's trail.
Before to sleep I wander I allow my gaze to rise
For diamonds lighting Heaven's gentle veil.
I dream of violet clouds that fill the skies with glory new,
Of laughter fallen from the turquoise creek--
A thousand perfect wonders, each a different shape and hue,
'Till overwhelmed by Grace I cannot speak.

In the fiery sunset of Day's end,
Touched By An Angel
Upon the clouds he carried Light
With power as would slay the dark of Night.
He addressed me in song so Heavenly sweet
That my pretense fell into swift retreat.
So when at once my breath returned,
I felt Joy for which my soul had yearned.
A Joy indescribable by words alone,
Inside my heart, forever sewn.
Why God sent me an angel is unknown to me,
But my heart he has captured
Since Love thus set it free.

Will come out triumphant over every crisis.
The victors will be soldiers for Justice
Or cowards wishing Revenge.
Between the two enemies lies this simple difference:
Revenge is naught but a chain reaction,
In its expansion of anger never ceasing.
Justice takes aim to penalize the immoral,
Ever armed with integrity and intentions fair.
People often try to disguise Revenge
In hopes that it may be passed off as Justice,
For a guilty heart endorsing filthy Revenge
Would not wish to give the act a name so foul.
A less harsh title may help the mind,
Yet still not the soul,
To Justify its hateful cause.
Even in this miserable case,
Justice has been attempted.

Yet this my mind opposes.
My heart is in the prison
That lies beyond your passionate eyes.
Trapped am I,
That I may see the sun---
The rays of your returned compassion
Coming through the bars of my cell.
But, alas! You too are trapped,
And thus I can not get to you,
Nor can I comfort you in your wait for escape.
Yes, you are trapped,
Left in misery.
You can not find your own acceptance, Yet you have already been accepted, And loved, too. I promise that when I escape my prison of unrequited love, I will find the key to release us Unto our Mistaken Freedom. The key is the realization of your own acceptance--- The key to free us both.

How impatient hath my heart become!
---Always requesting a moment spared
For pure reciprocated care
That circumstance would not my heart break
From what must have been my own mistake
---Ever wishing a soft reply
From an angel that was made to fly.
Fool was I to this wish condone;
An angel can be bound to Heaven alone---
Not to mortals like I
Who are weak, who tears cry,
A mortal passion will an angel never satisfy.

Christ has redeemed eternity.
He triumphed over lies and pain,
That I may live where God doth reign.
Christ bought my soul with His own death;
For my salvation,
He gave His last breath.
Now Heaven's gates are open wide,
Inviting me to come inside.
Because of God's unconditional love,
I might one day join Christ above.
He died that I might see Heaven's bliss;
I know there is no greater love than this.

And brings color to the land
Near the ocean, its enchanting lace
Takes rest upon the sand
What pours through watery prisms clear
When rain takes o'er the sky
Ever with darkness to interfere
And bring beauty ever so nigh
What shone inside the eyes of Christ
What opens hearts today
What perfect gift will bring you life
And always with you stay

When someone an incorrect meaning infers
And effortlessly it enters the mind
'Till false truth is all that the victim can find
It can drive us to madness, Bring to life our worst fears,
Or drown us in sadness with our own human tears
But sometimes in Irony's ocean Hope lives
And a wave to Escape amid Pain it then gives
Until we are swept to Renewal's clean shores
To see with new eyes what lies beyond Wisdom's doors

He sees in vibrant colors expressed
From the very soul within.
So sensitive to Light is He
That forgiven are dark impurities
Which cloud the rays of Light
Shining in every human heart.
In a world of glass
His faith is steel,
Unshattered by evil that assails Him daily.
He came to earth as a common man
And is no stranger to Life's pain.
Even still, He maintains an Unconditional Love
Which evokes in me the belief
That He watches us through prisms.

As I lift my gaze over a foreign horizon. A sudden gust carries me to the clouds--- I adjust my eyes to the bright silence of Memory. Across my mind dance Laughter and her friends, Until they are met by Impatience and Hopelessness. Success and Significance then take the stage, Only moments ere I fall through the air To Reality on the ground below. Though the horizon I see remains strange and unknown, I alight upon Tomorrow's wings For a closer glance That I may see the Waves of Change approaching me. Many are there, Though be their strength magnificent or subtle I can not tell. Quickly they approach, Building in me an inexplicable joy. Another wind sweeps me aloft, And I find myself once again amid clouds. My eyes seem to need little adjusting here, For the sight on which they rest is clear and tranquil. I encounter my own Dreams, Echoes from the Future that I have not yet heard. My ears strain to hear the melody of Change, The constant rhythm of Opportunity, The comforting harmony of Kindness. I return to the ground with my hands thrown to the sky, Praying that the Waves I see in the distance Will cleanse me in their revitalizing waters And bring to life A symphony of my Dreams. *written and copyrighted by Megan B., 2002

Sparkling diamonds bring light to dance Upon their surface in rejoice of your laughter. Your smile pours sweet sugar over my senses; A rush of elation surges through my spirit. Your voice melts my reason and lightens my heart, Every word you speak bringing me tranquil serenity. Your presence is intoxicating--- I am by you spellbound; A joyful prisoner to my own heart Do I live enchanted.

Me capturan con facilidad
En tus brazos hay una paz tan llena
Me das nueva libertad
Mi corazón está en tus manos
Tu voz me trae alegría
Quiero perderme en tus besos ricos
Y estar contigo cada día
Te adoro, ángel mío
Dios te ha mandado a mí
Y te he adorado
Desde el momento que te vi

Ingratiating comments to outpour
Of heartless love you still stand unashamed,
Such sacrilege I’ll tolerate no more
Still better, lend me poetry to hold
But know that here no amateur am I;
The game of words is easy to unfold,
Sincerity still seems in short supply
No, sing to me; suspend your soul in air
Still ringing to prolong hints of your voice
And I perhaps will turn, albeit rare,
To see he for whom my heart doth rejoice
Touch not my lips, for fever takes control
A dangerous passion freed to take its toll

Slay my every fear,
Sabotage the night
-
I reflect in your eyes
But I am not alone;
These mirrors are far too bright
-
With silent echoes from your soul
I at last find peace--
The sky may fall and time may cease
But broken, I'm made whole...
-
Though depth, and height, and distance
Interfere sans care
I'm cured in just a glance
-
An hourglass without sand
Stands before me now
So much time to dance
-
Unwritten riddles fill your mind
I'll solve them with my prayer--
That heaven might prevent despair
And keep my heart unblind...
-
At your feet
I stand at the top of the world
Your words lend me wings
Intrepid angel

Justice & Revenge
For all eternity, 
Mistaken Freedom
I know I love you,
Helplessly Loving An Angel
Through goods times and through trials some,
No Greater Love
A single belief has set me free--
Light
What clothes the morning in celestial grace
Misunderstanding to Wisdom
Misunderstanding daily occurs
His Eyes Are Prisms
His eyes are prisms.
My Past to Future
Rain descends to Earth
Spellbound
Your eyes are of crepuscular splendor.
Te Adoro
Tus ojos oscuros me ponen loca
Sonnet # 1
Come, flatter me with compliments untamed,
Intrepid Angel
Two pure rays of sunlight
