Premium Member Let Us Face This Attack Head On

This world prefers to live under the shadows 
in order to hide its truly evil daily works.
confronting these misplaced loyalties begs answers 

Communications literally has taken position centrefold promoting hate 
many Holy shrines have been desecrated 
objective extremists call for the removal of crosses 

There should be a voice of concern now condemning such force 
is this the generation spoken of where education alters our children's minds 
through perverted literature trying to destroy innocence 

The final attack on truth has become an obstacle filled with facts 
political correctness has long damned itself lying constantly 
and we stand curled up in silence unable to speak 

Wide awake can see with clarity inside the powers of this planet 
in those that has gone to war against the light of God entering teachers 
for to protect our little ones giving good example firstly 
from this ugly twisted democracy and saving them before they fall victim 
Is it time again to lock your doors and mark them with with the blood of the Lamb

Hit Head On After Starting To Skirmish

Hit Head On After Starting To Skirmish

Had hit head on after starting to skirmish;
Destroyed objective when did extinguish;
Waited;
Dissipated;
Control not needed so it would relinquish.

Premium Member Facing Destiny Head On

The storm has passed and gone
A weary sun descends
As soothing peace settles
Over a troubled sea
A priestess assessing 
From her lofty tower
Conjuring mighty strength
For the journey ahead
Probing destiny’s face
Staring her in the eye

Head On a Pillow

C-old chilling raindrops
E-vade February seven; 
C-loud gathered by vile clime 
I-s turning white under the heaven.
L-et the Monday pass, as the night fades away; 
E-vening shadows disappear into the dark, blue, and gray.

Z-enith and Tuesday noon
A-re meeting in the sky; 
C-oal haze, fog, and mist
A-re now going by.
R-ay from the red beacon
I-s lighting up the meadow; 
A-s you get tired due to work, 
S-mile and rest your head on a pillow.

Monster Rears It's Ugly Head On Houston

To Houston's victims whom suffered the wrath
Of Hurricane Harvey's brutal path
The country prays for your full recovery
A fortuitous bounce of serendipity
Long live life, liberty and pursuit of happiness
In the wake of the worst storm in US history
Trump and cousin Sam did their earnest posture 
While your cries of uncle yielded to this monster
From the dark abyss you all will rise strong
From the torrential rains of a trillion sad song
For the piano man played in wept tears
As a trillion gallons drowning those in fears
To a new day, we look for the sun to shine
It's rays spreading its way and hopes for cloud nine
To a new day, we look up to your skies
For prayers, the monster permanently closes his eyes

Head On

Heart beats in rhythm to snowflakes 
Cascading in tune to my reality

Like a train travelling through time with no track 
Overwelmed by it's vivid fertile surroundings

Colours pencilled in my mind
As a reminder of life and it's many shades

Guided by the brightly lit angels from above
Resolve in my faith remains steadfast

Still Her Head On My Chest

Still her head on my chest,
Snoring sound,
ghrrr... ghrrr... ghrr...;
whispers in dream,
"You are meant for me";
Lays her leg,
between both my legs;
Then she says,
"You don't give enough space in bed";
She kicks my bum,
With her knees,
So feel comfort in her sleep;
sometimes when I am awake,
find myself on the carpet;
She seldom gives,
Enough space in bed;
Gestures how free she feels,
When she is with me;
She rules in the bed;
Oneness she feels,
When cohers me tight;
I am so immuned,
to her fishy sweat,
Now hurts me no more;
Her hand over my body,
Makes her spirit, 
Travel through my heart;
Spurs up me for rest of day; 
I feel soothing warmth;
I feel so blessed, 
When she says,
"I am her man";
Smile glows my cheek;

Head On

Here I have sat for what seemed

like an eternity.

A life long wait for 

the unknown.

Slowly diminishing are the

fears which drug

me down.

So low that I could

go no further.

And now, it begins

to change.

It begins to unravel

in my heart. 

This emotion is continuous.

Addictive.

Pleasant.

A newness of

sorts.

I will not run.

I will not hide.

I will face this like 

the man who yearns

for what once use to be familiar

in my life.

Only this time, 

Im prepared.

I will wait

and see

what this has in

store

for me.

With My Head On Your Chest

Going back to the old days
Remembering the simple ways
This is where our love stays
Forever and always

Laying in your arms, I feel complete
With you, no one else can compete
It doesn't take much to feel the heat

My favorite memory is of tonight
I wish you never had to leave my sight
Our couch, is a simple delight
Where our memories ignite
Teasing you, just out of spite

Your subtle voice, soothing my mind
Laying alone, I wish I could rewind
Our emotions all intertwined
With you I have this tight bind

I don't know how else to express my love
I just like to think back about 'your dove'
Among everything in the world, you rise above

It's all the small things that make me impressed
And I do still love all the rest
But this is what I love the best
laying here, with my head on your chest

Sphinx Head On Mars?

Was that Sphinx head on Mars
Or some prisoner behind bars
Seems like a mutated face
Of a different race
Like human parts in doctor’s jars
