Sweet Distraction by iaVember

Oh Sweet Distraction,
Why do you come in such a time when you're not needed?
Why appear when I least expect it?
Why quake my thoughts and distract me?
Oh Sweet Distraction, why?

Oh Sweet Distraction,
Was it that it wasn't meant to be?
Was it meant for a different time between you and me?
Was tonight not the night for another memory?
Oh Sweet Distraction, was it me?

Oh Sweet Distraction,
You completely derail me.

Oh Sweet distraction,
You confuse me.

Oh Sweet Distraction,
You have left me hanging.

Oh Sweet Distraction,
To return in track, this I scribble.

a Day and a Night by iaVember

a Day

A day is all it took for my heart to pump bliss into my soul -
Simplicity and an instant connection,
Effortless waves of thoughts and conversations -
Raging wonders, covering every pothole.
You are to me an unforeseen expectedness -
Thoughts, images that came to life,
Reality and dreams no longer in strife -
Flashing images into my blindness.
Echoing voice and an infixed smile -
Masculine laughter, wit and humor,
Subtle humility and an adorable pomposity -
Memoirs etched into my mental file.

a Night

The complete opposition of a Day -
Flaws seen, expressed, heard, felt,
Imperfections jovially shared -
Equally worthy, supersedingly enticing.
Narratives of facts and a pair of sweets -
Inconvenience and weird dislikes,
Saccharine treats and foolish remarks -
Unadorned simple dining at the fifteenth.
Twinkling stars, passing cars -
Childish steps and easy talks,
Keeping distance til we crossed -
Sharing more laughter under the stars.
Magical, dreamy, wonderfully real -
His arm around me, light and warm,
His fingers finding their way between mine -
Reality as sweet as a dream.

a Day and a Night is all they'll ever be;
A wonderfully sung melody.
a Day and a Night gladdened my soul;
Worth remembering, retelling to the most.
a Day and a Night I felt joyfully fluky;
Living in the moment to be happy.

a Day and a Night is all they'll ever be;
Waiting is over. Today has beckoned Me.

Close to Everything by iaVember

I wish to write what you have made me see
I wish to write what you have made me feel
But words at times are midget counterparts
Of what is going on between the soul and mind

Of how you've reminded me that I'm a lady
Through opening doors and behaving gentlemanly

Of how instantly our wavelengths matched
As if were two people familiar of each other

Of how you've laughed at my jokes
And how comfortably you've shown your joy

Of how you've shared a part of you
And of stories of the journey of your faith

Of how you were interested in my field
And tried to understand certain things

Of how tactly honest you are on things
While staying open about what I see

I don't know where these all will lead
Or if this will ever lead to something
All I know is if God wills it, it will happen
So I lift up all in prayers abiding His answers

Undefined by iaVember

Allow the hands of the faithful clock
To travel to the moments back
Jovial, young, reminiscent-full
Each moment priceless for they were no fools
They knew it happened not everyday
They took it, held it, what is more to say?
Each moment diamonds, rubies pearls
Wrapped with hearty youthful cheers


What transpired was already special
Thus what came next made it etherial
A moment captured not by cameras
But by hearts and mental dioramas...


Intertwined fingers, clasping hands
No words spoken for that heartfelt bond
As natural it is for birds to fly
That moment went on as lights went by
They know not how, know not why
Or if it were the force of a magical wine
Not an explanation or a litany required
For a moment so special is best undefined

I Love You by iaVember

I love you 
Even if yours are the eyes I haven't stared at
I love you
Even if yours is the voice I don't recognize
I love you
Even if yours are the arms I have not felt around me
I love you
Even if yours is the smile I haven't smiled back at
I love you
Even if yours are the dreams I have not known
I love you
Even if yours is the mind I have not shared ideas with
I love you
Even if yours are the feet which haven't walked with me
I love you
Even if yours is the longing I am unaware of
I love you
Even if yours are the flaws I have yet to discover
I love you
Even if yours is the heart I have not known
I love you
Even if you don't know me
I love you
Even if you're still not part of my life
I love you
Even if I have not the slightest idea about you
I love you
Even if you are still an unsung prayer
I love you 
Even if the probability of having you is out of my league

I love you
Because it is God who will give me you
I love you
Because it is God who will give me to you
I love you
Because I love you

Photographs by iaVember


I stare at photographs taken at past
Looking closely at flashing smiles
Candid moments and rehearsed poses
Are all eternal memoirs of what has 

What has been a great journey filled with laughter and tears
What has been a life changing process endured through fear
What has been one special moment worth retelling true
What has been a reality that has now beckoned as a memory

I stare at photgraphs taken at past
Oh how fast the past can seem to pass
Candid moments and rehearsed poses
Eternal witnesses of my withering and blooming

Love Is Waiting

may not know who you are right now, how you look like or how you are. I may not know where you live, what you do or who your friends are. I don't know when and how, but know that I am praying for you and this song goes out to you... Until His perfect time, love is waiting for the both of us.

Love Is Waiting
by Brooke Fraser

In the autumn on the ground,
between the traffic and the ordinary sounds
I am thinking signs and seasons while a north wind blows through
I watch as lovers pass me by
Walking stories - whos and hows and whys
Musing lazily on love
Pondering you
I'll give it time, give it space and be still for a spell
When it's time to walk that way we wanna walk it well

[CHORUS:]
I'll be waiting for you baby
I'll be holding back the darkest night
Love is waiting til we're ready, til it's right
Love is waiting

It's my caution not the cold
there's no other hand that i would rather hold
the climate changes, I'm singing for the strangers about you
don't keep time, slow the pace
Honey hold on if you can
the bets are getting surer now that you're my man

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE:]
I could write a million songs about the way you say my name
I could live a lifetime with you and then do it all again
and like I can't force the sun to rise or hasten summer's start,
neither should I rush my way into your heart

Here's a link to a lyric video of the song

--------------------
Call me melodramatic or hopeless romantic, but I will always believe in love and that he's out there and in God's time we'll find each other. -iaVember
