Fire


I close my eyes

And call out your name

“Jesus!”

And there I am

Lost in blur

A dark abyss of nothingness

Everything around me is oblivious

It’s just you and me

Face-to-face

I am filled with your love

It washes over me like rain

 

I extend my arms into the sky

Reaching for your presence

Asking for forgiveness

I can feel your presence roam inside my body

Like shock waves running thru my bones

They rectify me

 

Here I am new

My sins are erased

I am cleansed

It is here that I am re-born

On my knees I lay

Motionless

Seeking your face

Mesmerized by your beauty

I cry out from the inside of my soul

Chains that have held me down are broken

My spirit grows bigger and bigger

Yearning for more until

It is quenched

Your love overflows my body

Nothing equates to this blissful moment of pure serenity

 

Your Holy Spirit is like fire

Like an everlasting candle that burns thru my spirit

I was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala. I have lived all over the US since my dad was in the Army and now reside in the border city of El Paso, Texas. Although I do not have a long time writing poetry, I really love it and hope to grow as much as I can as a poet. I am currently studying English at El Paso Community College. I also aspire to have my work published. Most of the stuff I write is on the political spectrum.
