Long Bondages Poems

I feel rather empty…
Flushed, confused, free me?
I’m feeling kinda dirty
To be honest, I’m fake happy

Wearing a smile like the rest of us
But, there’s a million rivers and fires between us
So, don’t throw me under the...

SOJOURN THROUGH TAROTSPACE

Let me tell you a story,
Of a deck of cards, in all its glory.
Well, some will say, what’s the big deal?
To them my humble reply, come, conquer, and heal.

The story is my take,

Down deep beneath fathoms icy keep, where deadmen’s
Scream in utter silences aquatic hell, amongst the devils
Graveyard of wreckage's carnage, there exists a ghostly harbor
Of phantom ships!
Anchored are the souls of the undead, and vessels craft...

Slow and steady that growth this Land,
Of the free and brave at hand,
Manliness runs along,
In his heart a woman’s song,

To her husband does she sing,
Strengthens him when war bells ring,
He fights for justice, stands a’talls,
From...

I feel,
A strange hunger
A hunger for freedom…
Though I have,
Yet I desire…
A deep unfulfilling kind of starvation…
Can never get too much of freedom,

Freedom…
Intangible yet priceless, 
Like air,
Invisible yet vital for life,
Embrace but don’t abandon me!
Without you,
I...

ABOVE THE CLOUDS

To hell with these monotonies,
no strings attached I fly.
Live normally with anomalies,
myself, my sole ally.
Disguise realised through shrouded lies,
I wore to please beliefs.
And wore a crease which won't suffice,
to lead a life so...

He’s just like the rest of them,

a path to...

All great moments before my eyes dart
The good and bad ones I lived through
The sweet and sour moments, quite a few.

He sits hunched in his room, regular twilights,
tries to erase the precarious voices telling him to leave,
“Leave, my boy. This world is cruel.”
So, he assents as there is no one to be bereaved.

Hitherto had he...

They are in enmity, constantly at logger heads

My soul strives those tempestuous desires to tame

Painful memories..
A stinging pain
An open wound that cannot heal..
Remains opened
A portrait covered in glass..
The pieces of glass shattered into thousands of pieces..

Pieces of glass signify hurtful memories of being hurt by another..
A person you loved...

Why Don’t Churches Preach On Sin?

I often wonder why many churches don’t preach on sin.
I think that many are worried they’ll “lose a friend.”

Is it based on God's word?
