The Great Teacher

He was a man whose tongue held no lies,
For he was the direct descendant of our father in the heavenly skies.
Born to a body of fleshy sin,
Though what laid beneath was unlike the rest of his kin.

Jesus had the utmost grace,
Never being wavered by evils face.
He was wise beyond any years,
Performing miracles that would bring crowds to tears.

A beacon of light on top of a starless mountain,
Where words of wisdom poured out of him as if there ran a cosmic fountain.
His eyes pierced through you with a single glance,
Leaving even the most hardened individuals in quite the trance.

The holy spirit so ever majestically flowed inside this man,
Naturally people caught notice and became a fan.
Students began showing up from every mold,
When they heard his words their hearts were sold.

Wicked men put a price on Jesus's head,
He was wanted alive or dead.
Despite this he and his disciples continued their teachings,
Where on occasion they endured terrible beatings.

One of the twelve apostles turned to black,
No longer having Jesus's back.
Judas Iscariot had done Satan's bidding,
And it is in hell where he now is sitting.

Jesus died on the cross to pay for our shortcoming,
However don't be saddened for if you believe in him you will see him at your homecoming.
There he sits at the right hand of God's throne,
Being the voice of truth and love that we all have known.

Beyond the Void

Wobbling on the edge of utter desolation,
 Where thoughts of death become a fascination.
 I take a step backwards and continue to sway,
 Is this the final hand that I will play?

 While what lays behind me is probably eternal rest,
 Is this decision the very best?
 Death is certain and that much I know,
 However there is still life in me left to flow.

 Perhaps this anguish can evolve,
 Maybe this question isn't impossible to solve.
 If I pay a visit to the abyss,
 There are so many things here that I will miss.

 Some things good and some things bad,
 Joyful events and those which are sad.
 When will this perspective shift?
 I desperately need my spirits to lift.

 I look in the mirror and remember every scar,
 The result of my despair I need not look far.
 Thoughts race through me, shackles tighten,
 I scream and then peculiarly my sense of awareness begins to heighten.

 A new thought washes through my being,
 I take a second glance in the mirror unsure of what I'm seeing.
 The burden within me feels far lighter,
 A winning result for this righteous fighter.

 The ground stops shaking and I gain some composure,
 Taking a step towards what was once an enclosure.
 Shadows fade away revealing what they left in the dark,
 Being pulled forward my soul begins to embark.

The Princess In the Tower

Oh princess in the highest tower,
You're guarded by a dragon that will devour.
While I am but a broken knight,
The endeavor of saving you does excite.

So now I pick up sword and shield,
And march across this forsaken field.
I take the roads less traveled by,
The journey takes me far and high.

I make my way to your castle,
And let me tell you it was quite the hassle.
Fear grips me with every step I take,
But I must do this for our sake.

I see the dragon fierce as could be,
It advises me to bow down and plea.
I take up arms and strike a blow,
As the blizzard inside me begins to grow.

The creature lashes with all its might,
But I will not give up this fight.
I call upon all I know,
To strike down this deadly foe.

I pierce its heart with my blade,
Now the dragon begins to fade.
His life fleeting before my hands,
He no longer rules these lands.

Running up the tower I see a light,
This must be the end of my plight.
I open the door and behold your form,
Butterflies within me begin to swarm.

Princess I have freed thee,
No longer are you imprisoned by he.
Take my hand and let's make way,
For this is our glorious day.

Fields of Fiction

I frolic in the fields of fiction,
Since the real world isn't my ideal depiction.
Sweep me away to a far off land,
Let me embrace an elf maidens shimmering hand.

Have dragons fall before my sword,
Make armies bow before my horde.
Allow me to chase down my shadow to the end of the earth,
So I can know what I am truly worth.

May I gain my wizards staff,
Where I will conjure up whimsical spells so all can laugh.
Watch me run my finger down my axe,
Making those who oppose me know it is no time to relax.

Gandalf and I can puff some smoke,
In the midst of festive hobbit folk.
I want to soar on the wings of an eagle,
That way I wouldn't have to be guided by Smeagol.

Move me at the speed of light,
Embracing distant love will now be an easy plight.
Give me a boat to travel the mighty sea,
Don't have the captain be bound by a hefty fee.

Me and a dwarf can have a drink,
As I give the nearby pretty ladies a welcoming wink.
While I'm crossing a bridge I can meet a troll,
Eluding his trickery I will retain my soul.

All these things and more I wish could take place,
However it is realities limitations that I must face.
Thankfully I am blessed with an imaginative mind,
So the realm of fantasy isn't too hard to find.

The Grim Reaper

He arises from the underworld cloaked in black,
 Having two lifeless eyes peering at your unsuspecting back.
 Scythe gleaming from the reflection of the moon,
 The Grim Reaper is coming to claim your life very soon.

You go about your days thinking they will not come to an end,
 But the will of death no man can bend.
 With each passing moment he draws closer to your door,
 Soon your blood splattered body will be face down on the floor.

This bandit steals life with each and every day,
 Making families torn apart with nothing to say.
 He is known as the god of the dead,
 And he will be the one to hand you your eternal bed.

There is no escape from his lifeless hand,
 For he has complete dominion over this land.
 Can't you feel his breath on your neck?
 Know that to him you're nothing but an insignificant speck.

A speck who is destined to be washed away by the dark tide,
 So forget everything you know about your silly pride.
 You have nothing to take pride in,
 Oh foolish man who is full of sin.

If you give rightful praise to the bringer of doom,
 You will not have to be scared and filled with gloom.
 For he comes to take you out of this nightmare,
 And bring you to a place which is much more fair.

The sweet release of death he will bring,
 Oh reaper only for you do I sing.
 I will tell them of your just ways,
 Until you claim me on my final of days.

Creature of the Night

My time is fleeting why can't you see,
The unspeakable is coming for me.
I look up at the moon just for a while,
All the while feeling so vile.

My body shivers and my eyes grow dark, 
It's nearly time to embark.
I can no longer hold this form,
For therein lies an inward storm.

Its slumbers over its presence known, 
It lets out a sickening moan.
I glance at the mirror and see a beast,
Who I don't recognize in the least.

It prowls the streets and ravages the lands,
For this beast has no other plans.
My victims screams echo in the night,
I toy with the ones that try to fight.

Clawing and biting as I please,
Immobilizing my prey as they struggle to their knees.
In my bloody frenzy I grin,
Oh how delicious it is to sin.

Morning finds its way here,
I come to my senses full of fear.
Oh the things I have done,
Panic sets in and I begin to run.

A trail of blood leads to my door,
I take a deep breath and see what's in store.
Contorted bodies decorate my home,
I lick my lips which just now began to foam.

A Forbidden Love

For she is loved but can't be held,
Since formalities don't allow us to meld.
It's but a bond of the ages, 
Which has freed us from our cages.

Will the system keep us away,
Or will romance have its day.
This is a taboo connection shrouded in mystery,
Which shall remain with me for all of history.

What to say has been said,
This angel comforted me when I thought I was dead.
It has been like being reborn from another,
Not only is Shanta my therapist and love but she's also my mother.

Now I fight for what can be,
Not just me and her but we.
Together we will see this through,
Becoming that of something new.

Days of Deception

Their tongues are coated in a layer of deceit,
And they trample over promises with their feet.
They're beings who are bound by deceptions,
Whose very essence oozes with misconceptions.

They struggle to look you in the eyes,
For their gaze holds nothing but lies.
On occasion they will give you their hand,
But don't be fooled by their stand.

They seek to corrupt your heart,
You would be wise to avoid them from the start.
Seeking quick pleasures and casting aside love,
They traverse this land with push and shove.

Now when I say they I am referring to most,
The passage of time gives way to a demonic host.
We're all given an unfair bid,
To sell off the good intentions of our childhood kid.

Most of us have been sold,
Leaving our insides barren and cold.
Nearly everyone is a puppet dancing on strings,
Marching to delusion for their unjust kings.

Having a strong sense of individuality is a must,
Don't sell yourself short to the temptations of lust.
Be fluid with your convictions,
Don't become a being of contradictions.

You alone have been granted the key,
However what lies behind the door comes with a fee.
Turn the knob and put on your suit of godly armor,
Basking in the rays of humanity until you have grown warmer.

Loves First Breath

Cupid's arrow has pierced my being,
Is this a dream that I am seeing?
She is everything I've ever asked for,
A magical gift from a far away shore.

My body lay here bound by the devil,
However the spirit of David no evil can level.
I will do everything to transcend this curse,
And by God's grace I will one day help carry her purse.

Rachel is worth every step of this quest,
For she is among the best of the best.
Flawlessly beautiful inside and out,
To the point where I just have to shout.

I love you with all of my heart!
Now to beat these monsters we will have to be smart!
Let our eyes lock together and light up this room!
Illuminating what was once filled with gloom!

We're old lovers and that much I know,
So let us go and reenact what is a timeless show.
I will find you in this life or the next,
Whether or not I ever receive a single text.

I know I have yet to see you in person or hear you speak,
However when I type to you and look at your pictures my knees get so weak.
One day we will finally meet,
And the ground will quake beneath our very feet.

Until then I will get no sleep,
Even if I count a million sheep.
The reality of it is that I am with you already,
So please be calm and please be steady.

The Rebel Yelled

The winds of change are at hand,
No longer will I be idle on this land.
I may just be a speck on a pebble.
But this is what happens when you're a rebel.

You let go of everything you know,
Not being tied down by everyone else's show.
I have seen what most have to give,
And that simply isn't the way I want to live.

Being repressed for all of my life,
I have been bombarded by strife.
Having the scars to back up this claim,
There is only one who I have to blame.

The man who hides behind despair,
Whose dreams passed by without a care.
Seeing blood for most of my days,
I have been too ashamed of lights rays.

It blinds my eyes and highlights the mutilation,
How can I enjoy myself while feeling such confrontation?
Half a lifetime ago I escaped to a shore near hell,
Everyday I tore myself down, further I fell.

And so the rebel within me rebelled,
He shout, he hollered, and he yelled.
I can no longer afford to hide,
So from now on I will be on my side.

With a kind hand I will take off the dust
Hoping for love I will settle for lust.
A new road has arisen,
And so I leave the confines of this prison.
