I ask the Lord for clarity, so that I may truly see,
the only thing that I can change, is me.
My thoughts, feelings and emotions, a soul that’s on the mend,
courage, wisdom and knowledge, I prayed for Him to send.
To let His peace, love and mercy, be my very guide,
under His wings of protection, I pray that I abide.
To change those things of darkness, thats borne in my heart,
letting only words of life, from my tongue have part.
Though I live in a world of darkness, help me walk now in His light,
to be my strength, and drive, when with myself I fight.
Changing only me, putting my shadows at my feet,
with His grace and mercy, giving to all I meet.
No matter what I’ve been givin, it’s what I give you see,
with the clarity of this world, the changes comes through you and me.
is solely known for "brainwashing,"
Larichos was Sappho's brother
A mere wine pourer she spoke of him
while he wishes to marry I will
undermine him.
A circle of women might he
wish and long to have
that he is foolish and his wants shall be
his undoing, spoke Sappho of her brother
who wished to date Aimsir FraochÚn a
woman of the wealth.
Sappho and the woman collaberated to fool
Larichos, she told him she'd marry him if
he bought her ten gold bars
to create the tradition of them together
he did so for along time and when he
became concern of his own ego he asked her
how many gold bars had he givin her
she anwsered100 and said we have established a togetherness
for ten days, he than asked her to return them
as he was unsatisfied she refused
so Larichos went to Aphrodite and told her the story
Ahphodite said that only a inspiring frenzy and ecstacy could
make a man so brainwashed
so she suduced him to see if he was as great a lover
as he spoke.
Days later Aphodite went to Aimmmmmmsir and Sappho
she found them speaking as they were one
she placed a spell on them and condemed them to a n island in the sea.
Breaking night is just another habit now
we in a whole different dimension somehow
glidin through the cloudy haze
Givin a whole new definition to Dazed
Tryna find a way out, but so stuck in our ways.
Mouth dry, skin clammy, eyes glazed
swear this aint the life we want
But it's so much easier to stay
half dead & the otherin a semi-craze
killing more & more brain cells
as we be-bop to the beat
of our own screwed up brain waves
The only thing on my mind
is the passion & lust we share
IT'S ALL I CRAVE
cutting throats with our words
Kuz at times, it's so hard to behave
Such an exciting reality we've made
this aint anywhere close to as fun
as the old games we used to play
strung out, tired & feeling so damn insane
Seeing everything around us slowly decay,
never forgetting We traveled to a whole nother mindstate.
Feeling at home, but still lost
and honestly, Him & I & this world we continue to create
is something that I'd never, ever trade
Heavy makeup on her face
Trying so hard to erase
The heavy tears she's been crying
From a heavy heart that's dying
When a life of heavy burden
Weighs her down and wont stop turnin'
This heavy heartache from existing
There is so much she is missing
Because a past heavy fear
Is largely telling her beware
The heavy abuse she's endured
Is building up, painfully stored
In a dark and heavy place
Which is the very starting base
Of cautiousness and being weary
This heaviness is really scary
Stopping her from really livin
Her heavy loaded mind keeps givin
Signals--stop going ahead
There's nothing but heavy dread
With no chance of joy again
Bad heaviness is not her friend
Blissfulness upholds the surrounding environment caused by awareness. For every breath taken don’t be mistaken it wasn’t a miss take in for every breath theirs a reason; As is each and every season some taken, yet a lot givin.
The new light of each day I begin by searching myself within while closing my eyes fallowing my breath as it fills my lungs and finds its position.
Eyes weak yet filled with a dark glaze as I ask my 3rd eye to take me away to the place I needa be; there I will surely see what I need to do an who I need to see.
Strength filled all over my body from head to toe, if ya know ya know. upward ability allow my self to flow beyond all possibilities that I may know.
Rested yet learned all that I needed to know for the path that was shown and where I might roam .
Thoughts of what the next light of day im to uphold shall bring forth.
concluded thoughts that remain unclouded but in sync; here now are such possibilities so clear for such wonder, yet the next step is for thou destiny to spring up an arise as is my vibe.
God now has givin me
Just love, love, love, love, love, love
Just love, love, love, love, love, love
God now has givin me
God has now givin me
A new way, a new way and a new how
A new hope and a Hallelujah
My Lord has said
So now I am giving you a new commandment
Just love, love, love, love, love, love
Love each other Just as I have loved you
You should love each other, each other
Just love, love, love, love, love, love Just as God has loved you

Idyll (Idyl)
always the same,
never ashamed,
the world in your hands,
for the blood through your fingers like grains sands.
Broken are the roads and poison is the air,
hard to block the stones you are wielding,
the sun givin to us ,that your always shielding,
whatever you are, soon we will see,
kinda like a darkness or a nightmare to me,
as frightening as this tale, for I sounded the bell,
we were told we would battle you, from heaven to hell..
I know it is coming ,we all must givin.
for the children of evil have risen again..
so on this day, i give you a prayer..
as blank as the eyes ,as cold as it stares,
for the trumpets shall sound and show heavens glare,
as judgement shall fall, and taketh the air,
beating like thunder and burning like fire...
who shall line the lords cabinet for whom shall desire....
??????????????
This mountain I chose to climb
This moment In Time I choose to unwind
This valley I walk I choose to walk I'm running
This land I'm on this borrowed sand
I am part of it I am molded clay
As I live and breathe I inhaled an exhale
What's God's givin me for I am the land
embedded in me spirit so I unloaded I am man

PANTOUM
EVERYTHING IN GOD-
There are nature things givin unto me
The rain for my tears
and it's His breath that I breathe
All matters and anti-matter
The rain for my tears
natures wonders flowers greenery all life matter
All matters and anti-matter
Hope's love forgiven doves mercies grace
natures wonders flowers greenery all life matter
and it's His breath that I breathe
Hope's love forgiven doves mercies grace
There are nature things givin unto me everything in God

In my mission mt transformation
In this such a loud world
in this chaos in these loud times
O' God help me make it my goal

To make it, to make my life quiet
While minding mind own business
Co-creating with my own hands God givin
Just as God has directed

1 Thessalonians 4:11
Her love is sweeter than all
Her touch is like no other
The utmost respect is givin
She honors who she loves
On the edge she searches for love
Pour your love on her soul, a life time to share
A hall to walk
A ring to give
The queen of life you searched your hold life for
Walk the path, how sweet love is
She stands with the most high
To conquer is love
She sees no way out
This is coming from the bottom of my heart.
Upon my release I'll have a brand new start.
Get to make up for all of my lie's.
Wasn't me I deeply apologize.
The person I was, became a person I'm not.
With my addiction, all the trouble it brought.
Mom I'm sorry, I was so weak.
Hurt you badly, now we don't even speak.
I know it must of been really sad.
What happened to the baby you once had.
With it all being harder for you than me.
Can't imagine how difficult I became to see.
You givin me money, so I could get by.
Even when you knew, was going to get high.
Doing it all, to keep me safely out of jail.
With all of that I created my own hell.
I'm very thankful to have another shot.
May stumble a bit but fall I will not.
Hope you can see all of my sincerity.
Time for me to be the man I was suppose to be.
Anxiety’s inside of me
So, I try to beat, but society
Wants to be so unfree.
Anxieties secrets
Is to beat it, because you don’t need it
With your anxieties…
What will you do when your mind says die?
Are you thinking, about committing suicide?
Everywhere is the anxiety
And that’s because the society
Beats me.
The living, sitting down
In the town, alone in the
Dark seeking, to find yourself
To get help, that you
Think will never find
in your mind.
Looking at the people seeing me
Sitting there, lost in thought.
Wanting to feel cared about
But the feelings of uncertainty
Is killing me, slowly
and painfully.
Fear in my mind.
Fear in my eyes.
Fear in my soul.
Fear in my heart.
I have a hole
Where my soul, was taken
Cuz it was breakin.
Fear in your eyes
I see it, and those tears
You don’t want to hear
The truth about, the life you
Were givin.
I got a touch of fear! I feel I can hear!
Her calling out low, then screaming out loud.
How I loved her, I left her, I hurt her.
Well it happened that way, I’m sorry to say.
In the name of thy Father and Holy Ghost,
I’m on my way to Hell via the coast.
It’s true, I tried, and the innocent cried.
Yet I always meant I cared.
Shouldn’t have stood with my back to the wall, givin it all,
whispering words meaning more to me, than to you.
It’s not there in my blood, no not in my part,
To put pain in someone, to cut up a heart.
Having much to be done, and some undone.
Helping one to be, to be someone.
Hurting when you feel, you’re just one.
Rain, it comes and strikes, the pain.
The winds they blow and blow again.
Then all is quiet and remains the same.
A smiling face,
a warm embrace,
and time . . . .
to feel, to see,
to understand,
to hold a hand.
A time . . .
to Love . . .
again.
