Ellemo

The first time...no words are more sweet
No thought more cherished no desire more intense
The first time ...I savour the phrase, barely a whisper,  the air around it too dense
Too dense, protected from the reality that our lives are in suspense
As we wait for the first time.

When our skin finally meets and our heartbeats sync
When our bodies blur, limbs interlinked
Eager fingers trace each curve, each line
Covering all of you making it mine
Holding my breath ...for the first time

Quivering air escapes from my lips
Anticipation builds patience slips
Gripping, tugging, ripping pulling
Reaching, undoing, passion pursuing
Inhaling all of you... for the first time

Sweet loving, thrusting and pulsing
Rhythmic euphoric, blissfully convulsing  
Our bodies erupt in thick hot Ecstacy
Reality surpassing unfulfilled fantasy
I let go and exhale...for the first time


Now we’re quiet, tangled, skin still warm
Soft laughter rising after the storm
Your touch stays with me, sweet like a sign
Like I’ve been found, like you’re finally mine
Floating in peace…for the first time
Heart wide open, nothing to prove
Just slow kisses and the way we move
In your arms I forget the climb
All that waiting turns to divine
I melt and believe…for the first time

I feel far removed from your presence lord
Your word once a comfort now cuts like a sword
It's not the first time that I have drifted away
With your mercy Ive always found my way
Afraid that Ill fail this time I Cry out now
I want to get back you just remind me how

I've Given a foothold to evil
Set Wicked things before my eyes
I've forgotten my body is a temple
I've bought the worlds wicked lies
with my lips I have honoured you
while my heart remained untrue
Father don't let go of your grasp
Pull me back in thats all that I ask

I've given co-ownership of my soul
Thought worldly delight could fill a whole
I've seen others follow the wide path and fell
Their sinful pleasure leads the way to hell
Please lord save me rope me back in
Protect me from pursuing sin

I've Given a foothold to evil
Set Wicked things before my eyes
I've forgotten my body is a temple
I've bought the worlds wicked lies
with my lips I have honoured you
while my heart remained untrue
Father don't let go of your grasp
Pull me back in thats all that I ask

Have mercy father don't let go of your grasp
Touch me once more, I'm on my knees while I ask.
Pull me back in pull me back in thats all that I ask

I've Given a foothold to evil

Set Wicked things before my eyes

I've forgotten my body is a temple

I've bought the worlds wicked lies

with my lips I have honoured you

while my heart remained untrue

Father don't let go of your grasp

Pull me back in thats all that I ask

Complete disbelief as I see your hand work
Blessing me everyday, me, a total jerk
Is this love for real, when does the shoe drop
When will my deeds make the goodness stop

But Jesus He saved me, and thank you for that
Your son made me righteous that's a pure hard fact
And now when you look at me right in the face
You can see this new vessel cleaned up by grace

The creator of the universe loves this fallen being
I know you know all, nothing you're not seeing
Still you choose to love me even today
Supplying my needs in every way
I swear it just blows my feeble mind
Your love your mercy...I'm not even kind

But Jesus He saved me, and thank you for that
Your son made me righteous that's a pure hard fact
And now when you look at me right in the face
You can see this new vessel cleaned up by grace



But Jesus He saved me, and thank you for that
Your son made me righteous that's a pure hard fact
And Now ive gained heaven it's right before me
Because unbelievable love has set me free

Just an ordinary day no warning
My mind making lists of things to do
It really was just another morning
My thoughts not even close to you
You said the words we've feared since we met
Our Times run out we knew it would come
We Allowed comfort in the rhythm we set.
I carelessly made your heart my home

They say All is fair in love and in war
Our hearts dont always get much more
Fleeting moments may be all we ever have
living in memories or a photograph
Even through all the heartache and pain
Some risks we'll take again and again


Destiny grins as it waves goodbye
It doesn't promise and it doesn't lie
We ran ahead and made pie in the sky
Life seldom deals a hand that's fair
We chose to play the cards with flare

They say All is fair in love and in war
Our hearts dont always get much more
Fleeting moments may be all we ever have
living in memories or a photograph
Even through all the heartache and pain
Some risks we'll take again and again

Just an ordinary day no warning
My mind making lists of things to do
It really was just another morning
how could my mind hold anything but you
If given the chance I'll love you again
Just say the word just tell me when
Loving you has been worth the devastation
Soared to heights beyond imagination

I'll never regret the decision we made
When we should have left but we stayed
Even now as pain comes my way
I choose to love you forever and a day.

They say All is fair in love and in war
Our hearts dont always get much more
Fleeting moments may be all we ever have
living in memories or a photograph
even through all the heartache and pain
Some risks we'll take again and again

Your heart is big and your love sincere
It's so beautiful it's nothing to fear
When they say you're way too intense
Don't dim your light no pretense
Nothing's wrong with the way you love
The design is perfect n fits like a glove
Chorus
Keep doing you, you're truly a gem
You my sis are creme de la creme
One of a kind with a love that's divine
Be bold n be beautiful just let it shine
Life's too short to edit your loving
Towing the line, not overwhelming
To the right heart it will be pure gold
Not something to hide or to withhold
You're not too much, you never were
Your love's just perfect that's for sure
Chorus
Keep doing you, you're truly a gem
You my sis are creme de la creme
One of a kind with a love that's divine
Be bold n be beautiful just let it shine
Your loves not too much please understand
Youre just misplaced, and in the wrong hands
Don't doubt yourself don't dim your light
When the time comes it will be just right
It will be clear as day with no doubt at all
You won't need to hold back, just free fall
Chorus
Keep doing you, you're truly a gem
You my sis are creme de la creme
One of a kind with a love that's divine
Be bold n be beautiful just let it shine
Bridge
So don't invest that love anywhere
Wait for the one who'll be able to bare
All of your loving your whole heart n soul
One who'll make your peace his goal
Chorus
Keep doing you, you're truly a gem
You my sis are creme de la creme
One of a kind with a love that's divine
Be bold be beautiful let that love shine
Chorus
Keep doing you, you're truly a gem

One of a kind with a love that's divine
Be bold n be beautiful just let it shine

You're not too much, you never were
Your love's just perfect that's for sure

Keep doing you, you're truly a gem
You my sis are creme de la creme
One of a kind with a love that's divine
Be bold be beautiful let that love shine

Chorus
Let's not be polite
Let's put up a fight
Let's be the fool
Let's not play it cool
Don't close the door
Forget keeping score

Verse 1
If it fails we can say we tried
No shame in the tears we cried
But let's not give in to norm
Let passion rage like a storm
Don't give up , stick to the goal
To have a love that's feeds the soul

Chorus
Let's not be polite
Let's put up a fight
Let's be the fool
Let's not play it cool
Don't close the door
Forget keeping score

A sweet reward is just ahead
Let's get beyond what was said
Silly mistakes should never be
The reason to end you and me
The us we are is a thing of beauty
Let's protect it like it's our duty

Chorus
Let's not be polite
Let's put up a fight
Let's be the fool
Let's not play it cool
Don't close the door
Forget keeping score

Verse 3
Let's not regret not having tried
Let's not lose count of tears cried
My heart tells me that this is real
My heart knows what you feel
I won't go gently into that goodnight
I won't save face.....I vow to fight

Chorus
Let's not be polite
Let's put up a fight
Let's be the fool
Let's not play it cool
Don't close the door
Forget keeping score

Verse 4
Jump feet first don't think too long
Dont obsess on what could go wrong
Come now come on don't hesitate
You and me, we both know it's fate
Meant to be right from the start
Why else do you live in my heart

Chorus
Let's not be polite
Let's put up a fight
Let's be the fool
Let's not play it cool
Don't close the door
Forget keeping score

Bridge
Fight for us, embrace the mess
Let's have it all and nothing less
With us at stake I'll risk it all
And If I miss I'll gladly fall
The journey's been such a great ride
Much more to see, roads open wide

Chorus
Let's not be polite
Let's put up a fight
Let's be the fool
Let's not play it cool
Don't close the door
Forget keeping score

While I sit with You in the early hours
You ready sunshine to bless the flowers
Theres beauty here before you my saviour
As I ask You to bless and hold me near
I tell You about my plans and heart ache,
Ask for blessings for Your names sake

Lord, i lay it all down at Your throne, I place my faith in You alone
I always feel Your love surround me,
I'm at peace as Your presence grounds me
Though it's hard I trust Your ways
You've faithfully kept me all of my days
When I've been unfaithful you drew me near
You're not letting me go that much is clear

Jesus take even my broken offering
I give it all withholding nothing
When I seek Your face answer my call
Make me bold like you did Paul
Lord Give me faith that You gave Job
Let me dance like David unrobed

Lord, i lay it all down at Your throne, I place my faith in You alone
I always feel Your love surround me,
I'm at peace as Your presence grounds me
Though it's hard I trust Your ways
You've faithfully kept me all of my days
When I've been unfaithful you drew me near
You're not letting me go that much is clear

Keep me faithful please don't let me wonder
Blindly into pitfalls meant to hold me under
Like You guarded Daniel in the lions den
Protect me from my own whims n mayhem
I'm at Your mercy please guide me everyday
Keep Pursuing my heart in every way

Lord, i lay it all down at Your throne, I place my faith in You alone
I always feel Your love surround me,
I'm at peace as Your presence grounds me
Though it's hard I trust Your ways
You have faithfully kept me all of my days
When I've been unfaithful you drew me near
You're not letting me go that much is clear

Lord, i lay it all down at Your throne, I place my faith in You alone
I always feel Your love surround me,
I'm at peace as Your presence grounds me
Though it's hard I trust Your ways
You've faithfully kept me all of my days
When I've been unfaithful you drew me near
You're not letting me go that much is clear

Your love is so much better than life
Anything I ever do could never suffice
Can't comprehend the love you have for me
I will never get over what You did at Calvary

Lord, i lay it all down at Your throne, I place my faith in You alone
I always feel Your love surround me,
I'm at peace as Your presence grounds me
Though it's hard I trust Your ways
You have faithfully kept me all of my days
When I've been unfaithful you drew me near
You're not letting me go that much is clear

A message on an ordinary day.
Reaching me from far away
Could we talk just me and you
I didn't know where that would lead to.

Morning texts and mid-day dreams,
Your “Hey dear” message lights the screen

You showed me warmth, then faded fast
Still, I saw behind the mask.

I told my truths, you withheld yours
Your soul locked up behind steal doors
You were guarded, I was open wide,
But then you revealed what lives inside

You showed me warmth, then drifted past,
Beauty lies behind the mask.

Now your silence fills the space,
Where laughter used to be.
I scroll through words and memories,
No heartbreak, just pure beauty.

We all wear masks to guard the pain,
To love, to lose, to start again.
And though your light didn’t last,
My heart knew yours behind the mask

Some stories don’t need an end
Just fade like sunlight round the bend.
But every time I remember the past,
I see your love… behind the mask.
