Take Up The Cross
Take Up The Cross
Starting over again
I run even as I fall
Let my heart learn from its failure
Help me up
It is not the belief in me that endures
But for hopes sake
My stand is established
Reaffirmed by the grace to carry on
Pleading the blood, take up the cross...
Starting over again
I run even as I fall
Let my heart learn from its failure
Help me up
It is not the belief in me that endures
But for hopes sake
My stand is established
Reaffirmed by the grace to carry on
Pleading the blood, take up the cross...

ON A LIMB
ON A LIMB
Just a misanthrope without any hope
Hanging and dangling on the end of a rope
Swinging and singing without any breath
Dancing with Death on A whim
As the bright light of twilight suddenly dims
and grins at my Southerly sins
on A rope gently swaying within dancing belief
hanging out on the end of a limb
Just a misanthrope without any hope
Hanging and dangling on the end of a rope
Swinging and singing without any breath
Dancing with Death on A whim
As the bright light of twilight suddenly dims
and grins at my Southerly sins
on A rope gently swaying within dancing belief
hanging out on the end of a limb

Chasing The Wind
A pretty filly chasing the wind across the plains
She's never been broken, hobbled, or chained
With the sun bouncing off of her glistening chestnut mane
She swore to the elements that she would never be tamed
While he stood on a plateau rearing up at the sky
Snorting and hoofing the ground, watching as this filly fly
He yearned to join in, remembering his races with the wind
But to join may be the restraining of freedom, the ultimate sin
So like a lion looking over his pride, he looked over a potential addition to his harem
She had...

Strategy
There are always decisions to be made
Temptations loom
and resistance is futile
I choose to give in
to that which threatens only me
Save my strength
to resist
that which would spill over onto you
It's the closest to balance
I can achieve
Temptations loom

Save my strength

Lezly
That which I need
exists only in beauty
to share one another as wife.
So tightly embraced
pressing mine to her face
exchanging the essence of life.
A soft gentle touch
she shall crave for as much
to secretly make her feel whole.
Want morphed trusted fear
innocence disappears
surrendering completely her soul.
Moaning sweet songs
stirring desire deep and strong
forbidding no longer the taste.
Exploring well of each other
as intertwined lovers
prolonging a threatening haste.
Dwell no longer the days ...
exists only in beauty
to share one another as wife.
So tightly embraced
pressing mine to her face
exchanging the essence of life.
A soft gentle touch
she shall crave for as much
to secretly make her feel whole.
Want morphed trusted fear
innocence disappears
surrendering completely her soul.
Moaning sweet songs
stirring desire deep and strong
forbidding no longer the taste.
Exploring well of each other
as intertwined lovers
prolonging a threatening haste.
Dwell no longer the days ...

Sometimes
letting go is required -
martyring yourself;
an offering for gods
tin or invisible
put faith in the Universe
being your Guidance System
be a rocket blessed;
crowned, nose cone
armed with Truth
delivered by God's own hand
to unsuspecting nations

Clay
Molded and shaped
Rounded
Ridged
And Smoothed
Stretched
Pinched
Pulled
Slapped
Punched
And Layered
Fingers palpating
Formless lump
Becoming structured
Evolving
Surface changed
To unique creation
(Like no other in the universe)
Baked in the kiln
By hellish fire
Emerging
Hardened
Glazed
Useful and Beautiful

Man is but a god in ruins
I've got your whole world in my hands
I've got your whole wide world in my hands
I've got your whole world in my hands
Your whole world's in my hands
I've got everything you fear, in my hands
I've got everything you fear, in my hands
I've got everything you fear, in my hands
Your whole world's in my hands
See
There's no such thing as hell
Heaven? Paradise?
It's just the here and now
Here today, gone today
Be grateful for what you had
And let us sing
I've got your whole world in my hands
I've got everything you...
I've got your whole wide world in my hands
I've got your whole world in my hands
Your whole world's in my hands
I've got everything you fear, in my hands
I've got everything you fear, in my hands
I've got everything you fear, in my hands
Your whole world's in my hands
See
There's no such thing as hell
Heaven? Paradise?
It's just the here and now
Here today, gone today
Be grateful for what you had
And let us sing
I've got your whole world in my hands
I've got everything you...

Sacrifice
I Sacrificed me”
For your Love but Yet and Still You don’t see me
Going over and beyond What the eyes can really see
“I Sacrificed me”
And yet and still you used me up
Then turn around and confessed your love
Only to use me again Against my heart you sin
But yet again
“I sacrificed me”
Turning a blind eye to the abuse
Holding on to the old that was you
Believing that one day you will do the thing you promised me
But yet you lie
While I lay here and cry asking myself why
I believe in your lies
Just to hold on to...
For your Love but Yet and Still You don’t see me

But yet again

Gravel, grey, dry leaves, grass
The field stretched out into horizon where sounds caught into a timeline
of dusk. Dust forms a haze over all. the caravans are scattered into spirals
Where busses undriven for years have names . One has flames and dragons.
Another is flowered in neon colours.
"On the road to nowhere" is written on another van where two couples lay in the grass laughing. Smells begin to arrive through my nostrils. Just arrived
Fought with our tent and the rain shield. After a tripple drive...

When speech is inadequate
You're so beautiful when your eyes are red- due to all that salt
within those many, many tears.
I just don't feel the ocean, created by its cause.
That knife you hold - so seductive -
the way you press it down your own throat.
So wicked, how it lights up your eyes
makes em sparkle like never before.
Only, I don't feel your despair.
You are yelling at Me, seem to be angry- your attitude is
negative, threatening.
Only, the movement of your lips brought Me into turmoil.
As if enchanted I continue to observe. ...
within those many, many tears.
I just don't feel the ocean, created by its cause.
That knife you hold - so seductive -
the way you press it down your own throat.
So wicked, how it lights up your eyes
makes em sparkle like never before.
Only, I don't feel your despair.
You are yelling at Me, seem to be angry- your attitude is
negative, threatening.
Only, the movement of your lips brought Me into turmoil.
As if enchanted I continue to observe. ...
