Note: Realization that life is more than pleasure and selfish desires. It is about love, giving and gratitude to our Maker...Redemption and the long journey to the light takes a great toll on a man, many do not survive it. Some few are blessed to not only survive but live a far greater life afterwards.
Stones In The Honeyed Ring Of Time
Sitting here dejected, mere pile of bones
pleasure, just memory in darkest past.
Strip out each lie one polishes and hones
facing truth, nothing can forever last!
Stark reality of deeds soaked in slime
pain, a racing bird sent to torture me.
Memories in the honeyed ring of time
everything costs dearly, nothing is free!
Evil are the chains wrapping my crushed Soul
Time, a sword cutting so deeply my heart.
Lost hope of any future winning goal
sad truth is ripping rest of me apart!
Pile of bones, only treasure I have got.
Smelling meat, seeing its hideous rot!
