It's Coming

It’s Coming

An angel appears
She sings
A song of judgment
Heard by all, no exception.

As the souls of the fallen faithful rise,
So too do the souls escape from those still alive.
It has begun my friends.
Pray for forgiveness, yourself and one another.

Till the end, my friends
Till the very end.

If Only You Knew

If Only You Knew

If only you knew how hard I tried
To put all of my faith in one who lied.
Pushing headstrong
Into a world where I didn’t belong.
If only you knew
If only you knew
How hard I tried to love you.

Gratitude

Gratitude

The graciousness of your poetry
Matched only by your divinity
Such abstraction of reality
Your words paint serenity
I pray the fates grant you mercy
Your rhyme must have longevity
Thanks to you truly
For all that you've done for me

Frailty and Fury

Frailty and Fury

Torn by wind.
Scorned by heat.
Drowned by rain.

The frailty of the flower is exposed,
It gives in to its weakness as it dies.

Soars like the phoenix.
Shines through the sun.
Drinks the water whole.

The fury of the flower is exposed,
It gives in to its fury and conquers.

Eye


Eye
I’m alone!  I’m alone!
And I don’t know
If I can make it through
This puzzling pain!
And I know, yes I know!
The shards of my heart,
They pass through the eye of the needle,
And straight into the eye of the storm!
Tomorrow will come,
And I still won’t know.
Is it worth it, Do I stand up?
Do I take my steps forward?
I can see my fear,
I can see it tear,
At my eyes, they’re burning!

Colorblind

Colorblind
 
The scarlet rose
Engulfed by the whitest snow
Basks in the yellow sunshine
The emerald petals shimmer
As the cocoa ground drinks
The black shadows soar
Through the turquoise sky
Their citrus beaks pluck
The crimson rose grays
The purple eggs hatch
The pink worm wiggles
The ruby curtains close.

Christianity?

Christianity?

Making my way up.
No way down.
You’re my one and only savior.
Lord, you wore the crown.
I find peace in you,
And you promised me too.
Lord you’re the one…
My reason for Christianity!

Born into the church.
My faith force-fed.
They shoveled it all.
All into my head!

Making my way up.
No way down.
You’re my one and only savior.
Lord, you wore the crown.
I find peace in you,
And you promised me too.
Lord you’re the one…
My reason for Christianity!

Baptized in lies.
My sins couldn’t fade away.
Wash me Lord.
Bathe me in truth.

I shut my eyes.
Pray for a small prize.
I open them up and receive…
Nothing!  Nothing at all!

Making my way up.
No way down.
You’re my one and only savior.
Lord, you wore the crown.
I find piece in you,
And you promised me too.
Lord you’re the one…
My reason for Christianity!

On my own…
I’ll find you Lord.

On… my… own…
