Caught In a Deluge

The pouring rain ricocheting in your ear

 Now dearest there is but naught to fear

  Fluctuating rhythmatic ransom notes nigh

   Just another drop of  venom shall make us cry

    The introspection of an unyielding inspection

     Yielded nothing upon these reflections

      The pouring rain ricochets in your fears
 
       Tasting blood the wicked now can hear

Run


My darling as tempests swirl and sway

 Our little one is gone this day

  So now holy father  to whom do we pray

   Signs of light flicker in the darkest corner

    We must never become the lonesome mourner

     Retaining faith deep in solid steel reserves

      Like vigilant warriors of light whom he preserves

       Today they were found, and got what they deserve

Stand


Tall like the oaks he commands respect

 Dear God no longer should we detect

  The burning feelings of our own inadequacy

   Driven over the years to such lunacy

    Tears rolling down the faces of regret

     We did everything without a fret

      Bleeding hearts now atone with brows of sweat

Fall
