and yes, so many deficiencies

 "like a heart beat, drives you mad..." -Dreams, Fleetwood Mac

traditions must end

it is not a sin

to part from an old road

and take a way that is bold

we grow through dilemmas

they only scar like henna

and yes, so many deficiencies 

grow so many like weeds

remember to just breathe

count them one two three

life continues eternally

love always wins effortlessly 

will we ever be saited?

 "I have only come here seeking knowledge" -Wrapped Around Your Finger, The Police

the heat does descend

will it never end

a lonely beauty

forever on a journey

desire does push us on

chase it ever and ever anon

will we ever be saited?

with all that we are baited

so much life to live

forever we give and give

in the name of knowledge

"things they would not teach of in college" (above)

Or Trip Over Want

 "another fortnite lost in America" -Fortnite, Taylor Swift

so swiftly it becomes a burning

the pull that is yearning

a desire fiercely kindled

all logic cast down and defeated

might as well deny the moon

then say you do not swoon

or trip over want

still, our hearts are not

to the simple glorious end

that life goes on again and again

that love will always win

forever and ever amen

take some time to look around

 "You had your qualms!?!" -Patricia, Widows Bay

An Ode

through the fog they come creeping

our nightmares given hearts a'beating

to feast on our fears they come

but only a few will be undone

dont forget to grab a coffee as you go

the pace here is kind of slow

take some time to look around

dont pay any attention to that clown

this house of horrors is ours to tend

in a world where hunger ne'er ends

where our fears do survive

so that we can thrive 

of fates divine design

 "and how could anybody deny you?" -Coldplay

all roads lead to pain

there is no refrain

from the unending plight

of the dying of the light

deny it all you want

but none of us are a confidante

of fates divine design

no matter what one may opine

we try to know so much

about what little we have touched

the universe doesn't care

what plans we dare

it does play catch up

 "I dare you to do something" -Circles, Post Malone

when will you stop?

where is the top?

where is the low?

how much more slow can you go?

time doesn't ever halt

it marches on; your will or naught

it does not play catch up

no force to deter this start up

hesitate to the grave

it will not save

you from your fate

you will meet it one day

will bring new deals

 "wait; they don't love you like i love you" - Maps, Yeah Yeah Yeah

evil is winning

no end to the sinning

a darkness hangs low

brought a country to the gallow

we can only hope and pray

that every new day

will bring new deals

to those that kneels

to the king of kings

long may peace reign

we are not beyond redeeming

an end to hunger we must be scheming

joy and happiness from a soul

"You can run on for a long time / but sooner or later, gods gotta cut you down" - Johnny Cash

i have listened to you lie

i have heard you cry

still i do not doubt

that its dark in your heart

i know that you only feel

when from others you can steal

joy and happiness from a soul

drag them down into your black hole

you showed them all

i guess and how you did fall

all alone and afraid

next stop is the grave

but not so from those

 "Where the brave may live forever!"

one day the world goes grey

the desire just fades

the sunsets seem sweeter

the coffee grows richer

its seems a lonely place

on its face

but not so from those

who truly grow slow

and still we do yearn

for what we have not earned

demand worship post hence

from those in the past tense

the question will become

 'They bid me take my place among them, in the halls of Valhalla!"

from winters frozen grip

a new wind does slip

a warmth gently comes

spreading a new kingdom

growth will soon begin

lush and full all across the land

the question will become

who can tame this feral one?

the spring sets the young free

all wild and dancing in the breeze

bacchus my old friend

i hear your call once again

in this galaxy

 "Lo, they do call to me."

wearily and wearily done again

i say to my old friend

long have we spent

in hours contemplate

what wonders have we to see

under the trees

in this galaxy

upon our world of loquacity

a king, upon his throne

afraid and all alone?

or a people, saved by grace,

who fear not the fate they face

molded by our hands

 "Lo there, do I see the line of my people, back to the beginning!"

we are the victorious

we are the hardiest

we are the swiftest

we are the strongest

the world was given

to be inspired by heaven

molded by our hands

and given on at last

the next to come

will outshine us everyone

greater and greater we grow

under the sun loving glow

edit 041326: corrected opening quote JBT

Laby Liberty

 "And my Sisters & Brothers"

dreams destroyed

 "Lo, there do I see my mother."

its not fair

the life we bear

yet our needs are met

though we soon forget

bombs falling like rain

lives snuffed out like a flame

dreams destroyed

so we can have more toys

war only leads to war

whose appetite is only more & more

just to crown a king eternal

of a graveyard sempiternal

or my joy and gladness

 "Lo, there do i see my father." 

hello

my dear fellow

what brings you by?

passing the time?

im glad you are here

to share in my fear

or my joy and gladness

or perhaps my madness

this will stay

when all else passes away

my diary will become

history to some

no end to dreams made real

the sun keeps shining

whoever is lying

the sun will shine on

there is no end to the song

no end to the stars in the sky

no end to butterflies

no end to dreams made real

no end to deals to seal

never in a hurry

nor does a storm scurry

but all is done

under the sun

we are all in gods hands

who am i

to try

and decide

who should die?

we are not in charge

of this planet at large

we are all in gods hands

forever and ever amen

peace and peace again

unto all my kin

peace unto us all

trying to stand tall

A Languid Creeping Sleep

in the darkest night

there is a light

but not for the bold

is this cold

true winters heart

takes life without alert

a languid creeping sleep

a dream eternally deep

then a dawn awakens

all around, life quickens

times ten new songs unfurl

times twenty new souls uncurl

they love us without fail

if only they could stay

to grace us with love every day

their simple joy

at being rejoined

we make space in our hearts

and from the start

they love us without fail

a friend eternal

go in love my gentle friend

and know that i do send

all my gratitude and joy

with you forevermore

to consume more and more

 "Rape, Murder, its just a shot away" -Gimme Shelter, Rolling Stones

Make Love, Not War

so the mouse does roar

a safe place, enough to eat

lost in a world of massive feet

the fire leaves nothing to share

and it will always dare

to consume more and more

desperate and pitiless troubadour

be a light that illuminates

be a path that tolerates

be a joy that is shared

be a dream that is dared

trod upon grows robust

its not enough to hate

they must also dominate

'fear us' they cry

behind their guns they hide

soon life will roll on

up becomes down

trod upon grows robust

battered knocks off the rust

flames rise again

there is another friend

a new beginning

to another ending

 

we need to eat more than just gold

when the factories fail

and the ships dont sail

when the lines stop

and nothing is bought

when the offices grow dark

then will we mark

we need to eat more than just gold

if we ever truly intend to grow old

poets since time began

will remind you again and again

greed is not the way of life

it is the way of only strife

family is best

 why should you care

on what i share?

do you want me to fail?

to see my dreams derail?

whispers and ghosts

never friends to host

family is best

when all others are put to rest

the clock ticks ever on

so soon does our soul

ascend to effloresce

then fall to evanesce

of villains of the blackest sort

charm is a verb

is what I heard

around the campfire toasting

murderers and marshmallows roasting

the queens of the podcast

fill us all in to the last

of villains of the blackest sort

taking innocence from our world

may our children always be safe

in our streets and in their space

may virtue find a way

to grace us all this day

the endless days come

im shouting in vain

is there no end to pain

we must daily attest

and be part of the process

the grind the grind the grind

one loses their own mind

the endless days come

forever around the sun

sitting on the edge of time

hoping to find a rhyme

that will live forever

and be a glorious treasure

lost is the art of gentle speech

can we be friends?

does it always depend

on things you know

you cannot control?

what happened to simple conversations?

a way to pass time between stations?

lost is the art of gentle speech

now we just screech

it will take time

to find a new rhyme

free from worldly vice

and the only law is to be nice

and neither friend

on an iron steed

do we finally see

what's over the edge

at the end of the ledge

into the endless night

were dark is our sight

and neither friend

nor foe may we know

a great mystery lies beyond

at the end of our song

when our breathe does pause

our final decree; no clause

and every reason to

"You can't choose what stays and what fades away" Florence + Machine

to choke my self pity
to kick dirt on memory
to let it fall away
let the grip loosen this day

still some miles in this soul

no reason not to go

and every reason to

let love surround you

life is worth living

its worth forgiving

its worth trying again

its worth it my friend

we turn time and again

please stop the madness

can we spread some gladness

some good will to humans

and search for solutions

we always forget 

so to woe and regret

we turn time and again

remembering our sin

so once again

let the truth settle in

open the heart and the mind

for we are also all, human kind 

I did carry on

in the quiet night

we shed our light

and let our love spill

you know the drill

im still here

i did persevere

i did carry on

their papa did not let them down

and now near the end

of this glorious trend

i dont regret my time

protecting my queens light

the things i have lost

"you can't see the walls i'm bracing" -empty,  LetDown

stop hiding

stop running
the pain is only becoming
an unholy yearning

there is nowhere to hide
got to smash that pride
the things i have lost
and ne'er count the cost

this does allow
my pride to bellow
and gnash its teeth
to loves utter victory

The only one i am trying to reach

 the only solace i ever had
was on this blank canvas
its a simple thing
to express everything

im not speaking to you
nor to you
the only one i am trying to reach
is the author of this piece

hello in there i cry
how are you my guy
nothing answers back

im screaming into the black

That We Will Soar Aloft

 Far from perfect

Though we try to trick

Ourselves to believe

That the fault is not ours you see

We stumble onwards

Into a future hoping it’s not downwards

That We Will Soar Aloft

Or a landing that’s soft

We are only given

A day measured and woven

Into the fabric of time

One more day to continue our rhyme

To Let It Go

 To begin

Once again

To let the wind

Wander in our mind

To return

To continue to learn

To Let It Go

And let the glory show

God loves us all

No matter our fall

Let it be known

We live in heavens renown

To the finish line

"We are reaching for something that's already found us" -Jim Morrison

Step by careful step

We walk through regret

We leave behind pain

We let love reign

It's all a phase

Another leg of the race

To the finish line

When we rejoin the divine

The games we play

As we go through each day

The love we make

The hardships we take

over and over again

"sad woman take it slow - it will work itself out fine - all we need is just a little patience..."
Patience by GnR

i awoke
and my tears i did choke
for in my dream
your agony was plain and mean

you walk not alone
for it has been shown
over and over again
there is always an end to pain

in time the sun will shine
and it will all feel fine
you will remember you are precious
that your beauty leaves me breathless

i am holding my ground

"the story of my life - i give her hope - i spend her love until she's broke inside..."
The Story Of My Life - One Direction

I am writing the verses
against the darkest curses
i am holding the flame
against the deepest shame

i am standing long
against the twisted song
i am holding my ground
against the immoral sound

when its all said and done
what have you become?
when its all said and done
you'll see - i already won

To get too close

It's digging in

Getting closer to the win

It's slowly crushing

Everything it's touching 

No one cares

No one dares

To get too close

Its a howling screaming ghost

No where in this wide world

Is there a bright enough pearl

Of wisdom to counsel rest

The beast is hard to resist

No one will care

Please can't you see

That you're killing me

I don't know what to do

To stop feeling so blue

I'm going to die alone

Far from any throne

No one will care

Because I have nothing to share

It's all been taken

And I am forsaken

Cast out into the cold

Far from arms that hold

This simple knave

"You put your arms around me and I'm home"

Arms by Christina Peirri

I'll never make it

But I'll never shake it

This mountain I must climb

This destiny so divine

I'm not going to win

And though I may be free from sin

This simple knave

Doesn't get the save

So much between

A failure who has been

On the mountain side

And a loser with no pride

But never more

"Mr. Mojo rising... Got to keep on rising..."

LA Woman - The Doors

You are my kryptonite

Try as I might

To let you go

My heart does know

I pine for a home

A place to call my own

But never more 

Shall I find my door

Still even this poet

Can hope for it

A place of no lies

And no good byes

and just let things be

"and darkness has a hunger that's insatiable, and lightness has a call that's hard to hear..."
Closer to Fine - Indigo Girls


another day has come
under an old sun
we find our way
and banish the shadows away

its hard sometimes
to relax our minds
and just let things be
so much unease

still its all part of the plan
let faith reign in the land
be good, do good
it will be as it should

We are clay

"So you wanna play with magic..."

Dark Horse by Katy Perry

Looking out

Wondering what it's about

Wandering in

Reflecting on sin

There is no denying

There is no crying

We are clay

At play

Large to small

Low to tall

We play our roles

And cherish our souls

to do all i could

"Say something, I'm giving up on you"
-Say Something by A Great Big World

I stand apart
as it was in the start
so it ever shall be
until I am free

i tried and tried
with these tired eyes
to do i all i could
to be i all should

in the end
what does it matter friend?
nothing is ever good enough
no one has the right stuff

The way is prepared

A song was sung low

While the icy winds did blow 

But from winters dark heart

We find a new start

All is ready

Just hold steady 

The way is prepared

To those who would dare

Hold not to the night

But come into the light

A place is set

And you are well met

Confound and confuse

Let it move you
Let it shine true
Let the song scream forth
Bubble over with mirth

Choose not the way
of the spirits decay
Confound and confuse
vengeance's clues

deal not with darkness
spread your kindness
let peace reign
let all who will, sing

My love for you stands tall

I need you

I always needed you

I need you near

I need you here 

I love you

That much is true 

In the center of it all

My love for you stands tall

Tired of running

Tired of hiding

Tired of missing

The one I am loving

to wail and gnash

"but dreams come slow and you move so fast"
-Let Her Go, Passenger

one word at a time
is our rhyme
every verse written
is another sin forgiven

its going to be alright
you don't have to fight
to wail and gnash
and live in a flash

do what you can
its all part of the plan
a divine mystery
dedicated to the divine victory

i stayed true

"i find it very easy to be true"
-Walk the Line, Johnny Cash

where is my home
too long did i roam
words from beyond the grave
the only friends to this knave

i have nothing
to give to anything
i stayed true
and all it did was make me blue

i was not invited
nor was i welcomed
i have no place
in this fall from grace

dare to hold

"just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die..."
-Try, P!nk

dare to dance
and take that chance
dare to sing
let caution take wing

dare to kiss
to reach for bliss
dare to hold
this day be bold

ne'er going this way again
so seek out your grin
let your heart fly free
in you i believe

Done Going That Way

"Dancing through the fire, cause I am a champion..."
-Roar, Katy Perry


While you twiddle and twist
and chase the next bliss
I burn the midnight fire
Reigning in my desire

Danced so long
with a sad, sad song
Done going that way
Found a brand new day

It shook me to my knees
and a begged & begged please
But I'm on the rise
No stopping this tide

I hate myself most of all

"'Cause I love the way you call me baby"
-The Way I Am, Ingrid Michaelson

I am no sage
for I can rage
and let fury consume
a hearts fragile bloom

in the quiet that does follow
when my soul is so shallow
i hate myself most of all
so hard to stand tall

i am not worthy
of any beauty
nor would i recommend
for me to be a friend

played and danced

"But if you try sometimes, you get what you need..."
-Rolling Stones

Sometimes all I want
is to not want
To just sit and not feel
that i am missing a deal

journeyed far and wide
marched twice to take a bride
played and danced
cried and laughed

just want to see my children grow
and for them to know
that fear is the first step towards
courage's rewards

drink deep the clear air

"Honestly...I want to see you be brave"
-Brave, Sara Bareilles

come closer dear
and let me whisper in your ear
the secrets to life and love
the gifts from above

listen and listen again
to the ever blowing wind
drink deep the clear air
go forth without a care

what are we
that we should be
anything more than
part of the divine plan?

us to be

we struggle and strain
sometimes in vain
as long as our glory
is more important than the story

can we possibly see
what others believe
us to be
what should it matter to thee

all pieces in the divine saga
here for a bit of trauma
then back into the fold we go
our little hearts so bold

and take the final bow

"...you are born again hard..."
-Full Metal Jacket

Is it your glory
is it your story
for which you fight
the dying of the light

we march to the greater tune
and so soon do we all swoon
and take the final bow
at a time most apropos

volunteer for something greater
become a part of something that does matter
live not for you
live to be true

i didnt cry at night

"they don't love you like I love you..."
-Yeah yeah yeahs, Maps


when you come
to when you are done
will you say
i didnt get to play

i didnt get to be brave
i didnt get to rave
i didnt cry at night
for losing a fight

you were given your measure
and did you treasure
every breath you had
every thought, glad or sad?

but measure instead

or scream in denial

Just to be alive

We like to pretend

We know the end

Of the story

And who gets the glory

It's a simple play

As we journey into each day

Just to be alive

And live without pride

Try to be kind

And not to mind

The twists and turns

The joys and spurns

hopefully earn a tale to spin

the page does turn
hopefully to learn
from what did come
another day under the sun

we try and try again
hopefully to grin
hopefully earn a tale to spin
hopefully another friend to win

what is becomes past
what could is here at last
step by step
we move beyond regret

Who I should be

Once again

I wanted it to end

Rather to vanish

Than face the tarnish

Everyone does know

How it should go

Who I should be

And when I should fly free

Please just stop yelling

Please just stop hurting

Please just stop

Just stop

In loss the spirit does fill

Send me those who were betrayed

Send me those who are afraid

Of another broken promise

Of another tragedy that sprang from a kiss

In heartache the soul takes root

And from it a rarer flower does shoot

In loss the spirit does fill

The places that are now still

You are crafted from the divine

Do not over mind

The terrors of this day

For they will not stay

Nor the shiny bits of gold

Is this the way

Does pain just stay?

How do I refrain

From the sorrow that does remain?

It's not another's touch

That we find much

Nor the shiny bits gold

That make us bold

It's from the things we give

And those we forgive

That we find serenity

And have a chance at peace

I thought of taking my breath

"I'm free but I'm focused / I'm green but I'm wise / I'm hard but I'm friendly"

-Hand In My Pocket, Alanis Morrisette

I walked on

Still singing my song

Rise and rise again

And walk on my friend

Too many nights

So many plights

I thought of taking my breathe

And embracing death

But the darkness does not stay

And soon enough a new day

Dawns again

Walk on my friend

Easy gotten but yet

"Okay I used you!!"

-Jody Reverski

Is there an end

To the lies?

When will the good lord send

A beauty to my eyes?

But that's what I get

Chasing lust

Easy gotten but yet

So easy to bust

Then heartache sets in

But that is the deal

When we bid on sin

Our final payment too real

Wonders and woes

"Slow down my beating heart"

-U2

Such is life

Sometimes full of strife

Sometimes a ploy

Sometimes a joy

We get one day at a time

And in each we find

Wonders and woes

Sunshine and snows

Be glad of a constant friend

And know in the end

We all worked to play our part

From the end to the start

Holding us cold

"Felt so good to let go of it..."

-Daughtry

The earth is still turning

And we are still learning

Passing through trials

Facing our denials

Each of us locked inside

The bars of pride

Holding us cold

Keeping us from being bold

But what is there to fear?

Are you not so dear

Made by the masters hand

No one just like you in this land

The day is soon here

"But no matter what you do, you'll always feel as if you trip and fell. So steady as she goes"

-jack white

Oh my dear

Do not give in to fear

Hold fast

To the promise that will last

Be steady

Be ready

The day is soon here

When you see your fear

As the shadow that it is

A nightmare that does fizz

In the bold light 

Soon out of sight

Where would I learn

"You can not choose what stays and what fades away"

-Florence + The Machine

I didn't ask

For such a task

I didn't pray

To be this way

How could I have known

What I would be shown?

Where would I learn

How life would turn?

It's been my pleasure 

To have this adventure

One day at a time 

Is how we write this rhyme

A coward, a thief, a liar

"The blonde was called Freedom, the dark haired one Enterprise..."

-Jim Morrison

It's still on fire

This heart in a pyre

Burning and burning

Yearning and yearning 

Will it ever be cool?

I feel such a fool,

A coward, a theif, a liar,

A soul wrapped in barbed wire

I'm alive! I cry

To all the night sky

The heat of my blood

My thoughts are a flood

Of losing even one coin

No amount of money

Can make it always sunny

No amount of treasure

Will always bring pleasure

When we make money so dear

That we live in fear

Of losing even one coin

We lose the ability to join

We must walk the line

And know we will find

It is not as bad as feared

Or as great as savored 

The truth of this decree

"If you are lost you can always be found. Just know you're not alone..."

-Phillip Phillip

I know you're worth it

Every little bit

Of you is made from love

A true gift from above

Let your heart fill with grace

And let none replace

The truth of this decree

You are a true beauty

You are a song in this land

Crafted by the masters hand

A poem of divine thought

A treasure widely sought 

But carry on carry on

I send my song out to you

You who are blue

You who rue

The day life was given you 

It seems the pain

Will forever reign

But carry on carry on

For comes soon a new morn

Oh please promise me

That one more day you'll see

I'll help you through

My faith is true

From the unconquerable soul

"I am Not a POOR creature"

-Richard from Neverwhere

Do not pity me

Nay, stand by me

Though the night was deep

The faith I did keep

While the blood still flows

And the song still bellows

From the unconquerable soul

The end is still untold

I'm still smiling

I'm still rhyming 

This pen does not fail

This heart does prevail

When justice is delivered

In the midst of the pain

I found this refrain,

Let it be

Wait and see

The day will come

When lies are undone 

When justice is delivered

And darkness is severed

There is no darkness so deep

That it can keep

The light forever away

& deny a new day

One step at a time

The sun has risen

A new chapter given

Fates tumblers turned

The reward earned

 

It was perfectly played

The divine plan well laid

One step at a time

Brings us closer to the divine

Who knows where we sail

But love will always prevail

Hope is a constant friend 

And faith will never end

I'm dying inside

"An ounce of peace is all I want from you, will you never call again?"

-Hate Me by Blue October

Still the world does turn

And still we yearn

For that one extra bit 

One more sưck from the tit

So just let me be

Can't you see 

I'm dying inside 

There's nothing left to hide. 

I tried to be a good man

But I don't know if I can

Still I will try

Till the day I die

To our story

"I could show you what you want to see
and take you where you want to be"

-Safe & Sound by Capital City

Come away with me

And let our pleasure be

Our only guide

Nothing to hide

The world is vast 

And if we hold fast

To our story

We can live on in his glory

No powders nor potions

Nor foul smelling lotions

Do I have to offer

Only the wide world as my coffer

In the hearts of those

The truth shines free

It can not be

Hid for long

It is much too strong

The truth is the greatest gift

And causes no rift

In the hearts of those

That we love head to toes

You ruin yourself  worse

Than those you curse

With lies simply given

And love from you is driven

The glory of it all

You silence the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, the tumult of the peoples.

- Psalm 65:7 (NRSV)

In steps calm

And it is a balm

Upon the thunderstorm inside 

The ever burning pride

Who am I

That I should deny

The glory of it all

I am so small

I do not understand

The ever moving masters hand

But this I believe

He loves even me

He is the eternal star

The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man

-Acts 17:24

He is the cooling breeze

The gentle swaying of the trees

He is the rising sun

The promise of a new day come

In our hearts he does dwell

Our love he does swell

He is the eternal star

Guiding us to play our part

He is there

No matter where

We may wander

He is the root of all wonder

Those who were starving

Life does not consist in the abundance of possessions

Luke 12:15

I want only what is true

To hold on to

Nothing I own

Will get me closer to the highest throne

How I treat those

Who had fewer clothes

Those who were starving

Whose health was failing?

I seek not glory

Or to further my story

I wish only to be

A useful servant to thee

We are but dust

But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong;

- 1 Corinthians 1:27

So sure of our course

That upon our high horse

We believe

It is only blessings we should receive

There is a power greater still

That bends all to its will

We are but dust

In the universal crust

We preach

And beseech

To make our tiny voices heard

To the ears of the good sheperd 

I will not go back

For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those that find it are few. 

-Matthew 7:14

It seems so far to climb

The peak, a thing sublime

The path is dark

The truths' stark

So onward I stumble

And though I may fumble

I will not go back

Into the pit so black

Still I hear the sirens call

For loneliness is my thrall

Fifteen minutes of pleasure

Is not worth the holy kingdoms treasure

The grace of your Word

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."  Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weakenesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 

-2 Corinthians 12:9

I rest upon your rock

And let you block

My soul from persecution

My heart from tribulation

Only your love is perfect

How can any resist

The grace of your Word

Eternally it is heard

I go naked into the wild

Like a little child

I trust in you

To guide me true

Whatever I ask it to grow

"All the pain inside amplified by the fact that I can't get by with my 9 to 5..."

-Eminem

Shield me from bitterness

Protect me from ruthlessness

Do not let apathy take root

Let not vindication become resolute

My heart is a fertile field

And it will yield

Whatever I ask it to grow

Please let only love show

I pray to thee oh my God

Cast me not into Nod

Rather a servants servant in Heavans employ

Than Hells grandest viceroy 

Please tell me I am forgiven

"The futures uncertain and the end is always near"

-The Doors

I didn't mean to

Push you

All away

Please come back and stay

So many mistakes

Made for pleasures sake

Please tell me I am forgiven

That your hate is no longer given

I thought when you said forever

It meant that never 

Would you ever ever sever

Our love together

How does one let go

"I felt the power of death over life"

-Johnny Cash

 I looked and saw

The opening maw

Of hell's welcoming gate

And knew it was almost too late

I remembered when

My way led only to sin

How does one let go

Of the only way one has known?

One day at a time

Is how I perfect this rhyme

Reaching for something

Of which I know nothing

Brings wonder to every day

"I think you're my soulmate" 48hrs later

"Don't ever contact me again"

-Lisa Marie Miller

It is sorrow

That I ne'er need to borrow

What is sacred and dear

In a world ruled by fear

Still I know there is a plan

And the lords glad hand

Brings wonder to every day

And hope to those that stay

I only wish for no more lies

For part of me dies

With every one I have eaten

It's poison to my system

I'm still climbing

"I never even loved you!"

-Cynita De Bruin

Hit me as hard you can

And than

You'll see

What you could not believe

I'm still walking

I'm still rhyming 

I'm still climbing

I'mstill surviving

While you carry on in woe

Of what you let go

Rise and rise again

Ne'er shall this story end

Lift me up

"I just used you to get out to California"

Kelly Patricia Murphy

I throw myself at your feet

And give you my heart to keep

None else is worthy 

Nor cares for my sanity

Oh my good lord

I am crawling on your shore

Lift me up

And let me sup from your cup

So much twisted up inside

So much wasted pride

I have nothing more to hide 

I wish to stay only by your side

I ask the good lord to stay

"I'm so lonely I could die"

-Heartbreak Hotel

What do you do 

In a world indifferent to you

When all that you loved truly

Leaves you so lonely 

These are the times 

That among these rhymes 

I ask the good lord to stay

And be my friend this day

Come into my heart

And grant me a new start

Don't let me fall

Help me stand tall

Return to bring joy

"All your lies, all your lies, they will all be crystal clear"

-P!nk

It's only thunder

That tears my soul asunder

A darkening sky

That causes my courage to fly

The sun is never gone long

So soon does its song

Return to bring joy

And end the darks ploy

No reason to worry

Nor to hurry

All is well in hand

All throughout the land

Some comfort to that place

"No matter what we breed we still are made of greed"

-Demons

When the pain is out of sight

I pretend you hold me tight

My only comfort is a ghost

Of the one I loved the most

You don't say a thing

Just try and bring

Some comfort to that place

Where madness has a face

I scream and wail

And let my pain prevail

But you pull me close

The one I loved the most

I commit only to The Lord

"There goes a fighter..."

-The Fighter

Will you slow down?

I don't want to drown

In the wild flow

Of currents from your soul

I am taking my time

If you don't mind

I commit only to The Lord

For he is my salvation and sword

In darkness I did dwell

And found despair its only spell

Coming out into the light 

I choose not the wild night

That all things bend

"Dig if you will a picture..."

-artist formerly known as Prince

What is plan?

I am only one man

What do you need?

I am only one seed

I trust in you

I believe it to be true

That all things bend

To your glorys end

I looked for a wife

And found only strife

I searched for power

And was only brought lower

Don't be in doubt

"We're not broken, just bent and we can learn to love again"

-P!nk

So I wait and see

And continue to believe

That its not my will done

Under this sun

Enjoy what's given this day

And continue to play

Don't be in doubt

For love is always about

And when you sleep

And count your sheep

Your dreams fly free

And all is as it should be

We greet each new day

"Gods told me to relax, I'm gonna get fixed up right"

-Monster Magnet

Still we wonder

How to improve our plunder

To make more

Of our over abundant store

For what is there to fret

Nothing is sure yet

We greet each new day

And can only hope to stay

Our breaths are numbered

The plan is not sundered

By one thin dime

Only be the will of the divine
