Deepest Love Destroyed By Blackest of Lies
Deepest Love Destroyed By Blackest Of Lies
Flailing away against dark, stormy wind
daggers cutting up lonely tormented heart.
What more can evil dare my way to send
before anguished soul decides to depart?
Thunder roars, ears hears unrelenting cries
agony grows with every booming clap.
Deepest love destroyed by blackest of lies
where can be found, sweet escape from that trap?
Rolling clouds, blocking truth's shining relief
under cascading gloom and stone cold hail.
Will justice match honorable belief
to fight and this thundering storm thus quell?
Hope, hold on, light's pure truth will one day shine.
Faith and pure love shall once again be mine!

Note --Cranked out this morn....
Yet again my muse cautioned me against being lazy and my forgetting
that writing brings relief and life..
