Real Life
can we rewind just a little bit
so we can keep doing what we always did
can we enjoy all the safety without the commitment
and stay on the same old proven track
can we enjoy the happiness without all the sad
but without admitting all of that
we won't fall unless we fly
we won't land unless we take off
we don't belong in this pretend honeymoon phase
it'll wear off in the coming days
we won't last unless we move towards a better sunrise
it won't hurt to breathe the fresh air
and the flowers won't even care
if we run through...

Fade Away
Sometimes I wish I could fall a million feet down
Smash to pieces into the rocky ground
No more worries no more fears
No more obligations No more tears
Nothing but darkness all around
No more voices No more sound
I wish that I could be a bird that flies away
Nothing left to tell you, no more to say
I wish that I could find a place so far away
Nothing left of me to be
I would cherish darkness
Emptiness
Just let me fly away tonight
Real love has never been a thing
Never found a reason to be me ...
Smash to pieces into the rocky ground
No more worries no more fears
No more obligations No more tears
Nothing but darkness all around
No more voices No more sound
I wish that I could be a bird that flies away
Nothing left to tell you, no more to say
I wish that I could find a place so far away
Nothing left of me to be
I would cherish darkness
Emptiness
Just let me fly away tonight
Real love has never been a thing
Never found a reason to be me ...

ARTISTRY OF SILENCE
He filled the echo of silence
With the scented incense
Of his sweet-sounding flute
which decorated
eac resounding echo of the selah
at the e reaching end of the lyrical line
The beautiful artistry of the echoes of silence
Resounded as if repling with its hollow sound
Bounced from the concrete temple walls
With the silver-tints of the soft winds
From his flute.
With the scented incense
Of his sweet-sounding flute
which decorated
eac resounding echo of the selah
at the e reaching end of the lyrical line

Resounded as if repling with its hollow sound

THE ARTISTRY OF SILENCE
He filled the echo of silence
With the scented incense
Of his sweet-sounding flute
which decorated
each echo soud of the selah
.
The beautiful artistry of the echoing silence
Resounded as a hollow sound
Bounced back against the concrete temple walls
With the silver-tints of the soft winds
From his flute.

Torture
As I lay trying to fall into slumber
I note my throbbing hands in silence
In time with my beating heart
Searching the inner and outer worlds for peace
For that turnoff to slumber that refreshes
To rest easy
To calm oneself
To be renewed as I should ... supressed
Feeling the notion of rest slipping away into the aether
Replaced by numbness
Numb to time
Numb to pain
Numb to care
Uncomfortably Numb
Delusion replaces thoughtfulness
Derangement rashness
Am I dreaming?
I wish it so
Am I...
I note my throbbing hands in silence
In time with my beating heart
Searching the inner and outer worlds for peace
For that turnoff to slumber that refreshes
To rest easy
To calm oneself
To be renewed as I should ... supressed
Feeling the notion of rest slipping away into the aether
Replaced by numbness
Numb to time
Numb to pain
Numb to care
Uncomfortably Numb

Derangement rashness

I Just Wish The World Would Stop
my peace is
uprooted
floating on the breath
of the landscape
my inner aura is
diluted
seeking shelter
whilst it can escape
my eardrums are
ruptured
marching beats in its
canal
my tranquility is
ushered
tossed aside like low
morale
my eyes are
saturated
in toxic elements they
see
my voice is
drowned
netted by the pollution in
me
I just wish the world would stop
uprooted
floating on the breath

my inner aura is

Wanting
The winds Hail Mary my windows
as if the leaves were the pass
and everything else the
“Tackle”
Framed puzzles put together by me
attach themselves inexplicably
to my wall as if self
“Shackle”
Clutter draws on my breaking point
in a chicken shit manner
provoking me to retaliate
like a boxed in
“Jackal”
The blackbird's circle and stalk
the morning skies in vain attempts
to indict me on trumped-up
charges of aggravated assault on their
“Apple”
Water droplets from the showerhead ...

WHERE IS GOD?
WHERE IS GOD?
When life is unfair and treats you as such,
When you’re down to nothing much,
When enemies surround you and there’s nowhere to hide
You may ask yourself, “Why is God not by my side?
Where are You in the middle of my pain?”
Even King David asked during his Season of Rain,
“Why do you hide in the midst of my troubles?”
Yet, it’s when we seem troubled
That You, O God, stand even closer than we know!
I’ve trusted Your name and placed on it my love
Knowing my help comes only from you from so high above
I wait for...

The Theory of Everything (Film Inspired)
The theory of Everything
is the equation of Love
so it's Life
and it's Love
and it's You
and without Me by your side
everything will still be okay
I did my best when I loved You
but time had a way of falling hard
and the song meant to keep us together
had to be sung one note too far
and now we are out of time
and soon it will seem like the sun
will no longer shine
but let faith guide you
maybe the angels will Sing:
the equation for Love
is the theory of Everything
so it's Life ...

A HUMBLE PRAYER
A HUMBLE PRAYER
Forgive me, O Lord, for those hidden sins
I do not know I’ve made.
Those sins that hinder me from my victory-win
Teach me what they are
That I may not repeat the offense to You.
When people call me names I don’t approve or like
I tend to wonder if they are right
Perhaps I do not see myself as they do
Yet, the possibility exists they may well be jealous of me.
In my heart, I don’t feel I am boastful or proud
I don’t feel I do wrong nor do for others to see
Yet, my enemies have me for a show-off ...

GIVE THEM TO EAT
When you feel you are passing through a desert
Faltering and fainting, unbalanced and nothing resolved
When you feel the dryness of your soul
Which you know you are in dire need of a Savior
Mediate n those favorite verses
So that you may eat in the desert the Bread of Eternal Life
When tempted to open your mouth to gossip or share a rumor
Remember not to allow your lips to smack together like clanging cymbals
And resound…Gossip, rumors, malice, and slanderous speech are empty.
Therefore, do NOT abandon words of life from your lips

GRAPEVINE COCKTAIL OF THE HEART
INGREDIENTS:
Fruits: Labor, actions, and words
Fruit punch
Smoothies
cocktail mixes: Godly Purpose & Devilish temptation syrup
Sour limes
Encircling the rooftop of my mouth
lies the natural-enticing sweet flavors of the “fruits”
of my labor, actions, and even exchanged words.
Yet, the bitter-spiked “fruit-punch smoothies,”
found in Wisdom's Mystery Recipe
Funneled and strained by God’s divine revelation
of channeled learned experience and observation,
ooze all the way down my belly
reaching the very core...
