To the Waters, in Faith
He promises to care to the extreme,
If I'd drink from His never-drying stream—
That I need no coin to purchase or strive,
For He said I was made to glow and thrive.
As time slithers, wants litter front and rear,
And hope keeps fading with each passing year.
He says I need not labour hard for bread,
Yet my field yields

A Fevered Night, Unscheduled Departure II
I creep into your room, my steps are unsteady,
You went to bed with symptoms of the flu,
A soft child’s breath is what I seek,
To touch, to comfort—to ensure peace.
But as I peel back the covers, I find
Your stillness is no longer sleep.
I call your name, my voice trembling,
Attempt to rouse you from your peace,
But you

Not A Lie
You have no sense
This is all just a lie
That's not how it happened
Tell the truth, don't tell a lie
Jesus entered the upper room
He addressed the men with a smile
The apostles all in disbelief
Look! He's been through such grief
No longer a smile...
Peter said I'll walk in Your shoes a while

My life
Life! oh, what in a life,
Vicious questions without answers,
Continuous flow of disbelief,
fair of urban idiocy.
Only shame on yours self.
Who is more foolish and
Unbelieving than me?
In spite of all humiliation
The eyes find light;
Is there really a way?
It's just war. And losing.
Despondent, heathen people all around.
I am full of of wasted time

Kill me with Disbelief
Here I lay as a shadow before you
Of my former self that has been lost forever
They say that time heals all wounds
But not that it doesn't leave scars
See the person that I have now become
And feel ashamed of the damage you caused
Your disbelief makes me feel numb
I can't even be bothered to convince you
Punish me

Disbelief
I can’t believe the love I feel,
Though many years have come and gone,
Since I first felt your tender touch,
When we were young and still together
I loved the girl you were back then,
And love the woman you’ve become –
A caring mother to your kids,
A giving and devoted lover
I can’t believe the love I feel
Grows deeper

I Am Not Crazy
They say I am crazy
They claim I am demented
They call me names
And swear vehemently that I have lost it all
I look at them and shake my head in disbelief
How can I convince them
That I am not what they think I am?
How can I make them understand
That I am not

Trigger Me, Why
Oh how, I cry, disdain toward the word,
that gaslights sanity and truth defy.
When hapless, hopeless person, undeterred,
begs ask the question, of the victim, why?
Does thou holdest thee in purest contempt,
whilst quick, to grant, my aggressor pardon?
Lest I, in whom, no violence breathes, attempt,
to find, just cause, yet does, in myself, shun.
Yet still, it is, not

Disbelief 'N' Silence
It all started with the crisp green leaves
Transforming into all that gorgeous fall foliage
With the warm breeze, came
The blooms of sakura
Spring for sale
Then came the sudden rainstorms
Summertime sadness
And the thunderstorms
Lightenin
Burnin everything down
The final blow
Just all that’s leftover for takeout is
Disbelief ‘n’ silence
Tears burnin my skin
In fits of anger ‘n’ despair
Goin back is no option
The unspoken

A Poem Written In Complete Disbelief
a place in the middle of nowhere
nothing to do
nobody to see
only you and me,
and i am digging it
a place in the middle of nowhere
many acres of nothing
no a thing in sight to see
only you and me,
and i am digging it
a place in the middle of nowhere
no list of plans
breezes that are sometimes deadpan to a

Kilig
My heart is reaching for you
While my mind is putting up its roadblock
It may startle me, or it may not
If on my soul you did knock
Scared you are really mine
Just feels silly that I would deserve
Hard to wrap my head around
How you wrap around my every nerve
It's scary how one could feel your presence
Days before

Jesus Teaching: Belief N Disbelief
He said to them
Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature
Whoever believes and is baptized will be save
whoever does not believe will be condemned
These signs will accompany those who believe
In my name they will drive out demons
They will speak new languages
They will pick up serpents (with their hands)
