Chilly are moments
When I am all alone
Meaningless obsessions
When your have no one
Of your own
It's the moment that I see
You
My numbness fades
I can feel
I saw it in her smile
Lovers drawn together
I saw in her smile
These times for us
To treasure
Much of which is uncertain
Loving you at all times
When we kiss and hug each
Other
It just devastates my mind
Maybe it's wishful thinking
But if I am to be your lover true
I'd need one understanding
I'd need to marry you
I saw in her smile
She has a silly grin
I heard in her answer
She wished me to her
Only man

I’ve got something to say
No matter who you are,
or where you’ve been,
I beg of you to run from sin
Dear one,
Never go back to that viper pit again,
May the Love of the Savior
forever dwell within your heart
May you cling to Him each day

Christ, here I am, listen to me
My faith in you I bring to thee
Against the storm, against the snow
You are my savior, that's all I know
To your image I'm made to be
Your wretched servant as you can see
I hold on you to be my king
Save me from pains this life may bring
I cling to you in night and day
You are the star that guides my way
In darkest days, you are my light
You are the sun that shines so bright

Into a meadow,
I stopped by a gate
I often happened this way
Upon the stile I lent my arms,
Closing my eyes for a while
It often happened this way
Deep in my mind's eye
A vision,clear as day
They oftimes happen this way
This face of a man,
Had become known to me
I began (1987) & continue to walk in His way.

For God so loved the world
That He sent His only Son
That whosoever will...
Really!?!
But not these and those
Who corrupt the image
Of what looks good
...so, I will cling, to the Old Rugged Cross
Nothing can separate us from LOVE
Neither death nor life
Nor angels, nor principalities...
Really!?!
But not this and that
Causing eternal damnation
To the influenced soul
...so, I will cling, to the Old Rugged Cross
If any man be in Christ
He is a new creature
Behold old things are passed away
Really!?!
Surely not thingamagigs and whatchamacallits
Who look like hell itself
Bringing babies to question
...nope, absolutely not...
........so I will cling to the OLD RUGGED CROSS
Forever marked by FEAR

He was the most lonesome guy.
he surely didn't trust anybody
and the reasons were many;
he'll reveal his darkest secrets...
when he has shed all his tears
and realized how foolish he was!
Shunning existence for an unexplained reason
was folly; was he treated unkindly and unfairly?
Only his contrived and rageful feelings can explain
what made him choose confinement from Humanity!
The tremendous loss of his mom hit him hard,
with his hands across his beating chest,
with his bowed head he was totally lost;
he miserably grieved her and desperately cried!
Who has never felt his inconsolable and deep pain
that was never been left behind,
can't understand humanly what brought him down;
how grief persists in the sorrowful mind,
how it keeps him in a state of misery:
does anyone cling to pain indefinitely?
He was the nicest guy in the smallest town,
always lending his hand to others whenever it was needed,
he gave his love demanding nothing in return;
comfort him when he breaks down, and do a good deed!

It’s when
the gardener tends
the orchids
One observes the fact
That
They cling on to greater trees
Like children
much rely on their parents…
These gain
their sustenance
out of august trees.
This is the same with
Climbers and creepers as well…
Do human beings cling to God
And get oriented?

People live with an inflated ego,
They think they rule the world.
Their little souls are covered with snow,
The world is just a shooting gallery.
School is no longer an assistant,
Its functions are, alas, lost.
She stupefies children on purpose,
So that they can think little.
People talk but don't listen,
They don't want to understand others.
It's more important for them to be the best,
How to help those who are scared.
Everyone tries to bite their neighbor,
To get above it yourself.
This story, as feat told
And received a medal on behalf of Himself.
Don't tell me what I can't do,
How do you know whether can or not?
You only see your limits
And just jealous, looking after.
I always walk away from people like that,
There's no point in talking to a dumbass.
They live only in their stupidity,
And they don't know who to cling to.

Villanelle : Don't we all cling to Life tooth and nail guts in groin
Don't we all cling to Life tooth and nail guts in groin
E'en if the insatiable Beast glowers close behind
No matter what nor how long the grind we bear 'n' pine
Merchants of Faith made in mythic images divine
Tell us all their gods have told them what lurks behind
Don't we all cling to Life tooth and nail guts in groin
Each in his own way nailed to some Alien loin
All assured this World's for the best of Mankind
No matter what nor how long the grind we bear 'n' pine
True gods are those Men who behind the scenes combine
Thrust up Leaders who lisp words for Them who us bind
Don't we all cling to Life tooth and nail guts in groin
Children grow up and swear by their words anodine
Believe rot Batman Hulks Wonder Woman's behind
No matter what nor how long the grind we bear 'n' pine
Till that day the bubble bursts the last word on line
Shows neither Nations nor gods mean well for Mankind
Don't we all cling to Life tooth and nail guts in groin
No matter what nor how long the grind we bear 'n' pine

C-ling to the true vine,
A-s we are the branches;
T-hose who remain in Christ
H-ope for the glorious bliss.
C-ling to the true vine,
E-arnestly stay with the fold;
N-ever ever do otherwise,
T-ill we grow mature and old.
E-agerly adhere to Christ's command,
N-ot to devil's deceitful sign;
O-n January twenty-eighth, cling to the true vine.

Unrequited love is shallow,
lacking depth; it cannot float dreams.
Yet, you will forego happiness
for a lifetime of silent screams.
Both tormentor and destroyer,
doubt devastates your sense of pride.
A heart that craves a love denied
will wilt and slowly die inside.
Wishes attack reality;
striking with irrational force.
Unattainable dreams fuel
frustration, anger, and remorse.
Truth defines the expectations
and anticipations of youth.
And yet, you have fallen in love,
acknowledging no other truth.
Feeling lost, nothing seems real,
drowning in tears, you cling to hope.
Yet rejected hearts tend to break;
finding it difficult to cope.

When words fail me
When sleep escapes me
When troubles torment me
I cling to the Almighty
Though words fail me
Though she forsakes me
Though memories maim me
I cling to the Almighty
When words fail me
When grief besets me
When trials torment me
I cling to the Almighty

Hello how are you
I know its been awhile
But these take time
To work their way out
But still in my heart
I cling to you
And I have no idea
What to do

Why chose
To go back
To someone
no good
For you
Why cling to
Someone who
Does not care
When there is
More bad times
Then good times
That's a sign to
Get the hell out
Of there

In silence, a gaze skyward,
Where a myriad toppling
Glitters of sun dusts dance.
Behind clutch of hands,
Or is it bark, befuddled.
Head resting, obliterated words,
Come! stumbled form
Forget! lips and sound.
Remember! legs entwined,
Hold tightly! from behind,
As if bark on the ground.
One hand lifts a palm
Raised to the sun, shut down
Tired eyes. Thoughts disjointed
Remember the name, a name.
Tree oh tree, it is the same,
Remember me, this sore
Body was once cogitative.
Give in, fuse!
Cling to this wood as final.
Hear a distant name,
Faint familiar sound, same
As once called, a wall
Plummet into the sun
Too bright, a hand closes softly painful eyes.
Rumble of voices far away too close by
Hands tear twigs and twines,
Branches and leaves.
Inside something grieves,
And hears: it will be fine.
Safe from my tree, can’t stay.
Tree, oh tree, they set me free!
