The Truth

I've lived my life with heart aches and pain, 
with trouble's pouring down like fallin rain.

 I tried to walk the christian way, 
but the lack of knowledge, kept me  astray.

 Being told all the time I was going to hell you see, 
yet I was doing my best, how could this be?

 From God, I would try to run and hide, 
yet his spirit with me would still abide.

 His gentle voice kept saying to me, 
know the truth you'll be set free.

 I would say to this voice, from deep within, 
you will have to show me where I begin.

 People spoke of demon's, and evil spirit's, you see, 
I was told a million times, they lived inside of me.

 I would talk to God, as I'd cry myself to sleep, 
He'd tell me in his word, I'd have to dig deep.

 I spent Year's of running, trying to drown this voice, 
I couldn't get away, it seemed I had no choice.

 Through many heartaches, and churches I did go, 
I begin to dig deep, I just had to know.

 I wouldn't give up, I needed the truth you see, 
for it's the only way I could be set free.

 And now today from my heart I can truly say, 
I know the truth, for his spirit showed the way.

 It goes to deep, to write it all down here you see, 
like sin, with this word they decieved, both you and me.

 Adam and Eve died because of knowledge you know, 
we are destroyed for the lack of knowledge, I can truly show.

 Take a few minutes, ask me something that you're fighting through, 
about sin, spirit's,  the devil, for we've been deceived that's true.

 Know the truth for it will set you free, 
ask your questions, you'll learn the truth from me.

Premium Member Echoes



Escape into the night
Over bushes, through trees
Freedom
Is where the birds are

The world is mine...

I'm ready to leap from the edge
And into the pool of water
What a rush
To burst through the surface

Peace of mind...

There is a beauty to the end
My heart aches and I rush
To the tallest cliff
I look out into a world so young

Nostalgic echoes...

The harder I run from the past
The closer I always end up
So I take a breath
And the world finally spins

Echoes...

I think I've forgiven myself
I'm ready to live again
This is what life is all about
Right?

Premium Member The Indelible

Far, a widowed mother walked hill and vale,
Searching her only son who'd gone to war;
Love-blind; hopeful; day and night without fail,
Heart-aches; foot-blisters; full of scar and soar;
Stones pricking; thorns piercing; miles many tread,
The scorching sun and wild waves she withstood;
Sad! No trace of son's footprints, tears she shed,
Each bird, each flower on her way she asked;
He's dead, they said, in some war, so recent,
Keep calm! Rest! Offer prayers as one should!
Yet, hope doubled; task-focused; far she went,
No mirage, could ever, her true love shroud;
Winds and waves might erase your footprints, but
Who could, mother, the prints of love, wipe out?

Oh, the dark grey shapeless clouds,

How they win the battle of the sky,

Their illusions cast shadows,

On the field, where dreams fly high.


In the midst of this surreal scene,

I sit here, suspended, waiting,

As tears flow like an endless stream,

Silenced by the night, in solitude, fading.


Loneliness engulfs me, profound and deep,

A hollow feeling that transcends,

I fall into a depth, I cannot keep,

My heart aches, and my soul bends.


As the clouds continue their conquest,

I feel as if I've been here before,

If we could start over, what would be best?

Could we do any better, than what we have in store?


This emotional roller coaster we ride,

Leaves us hurt and feeling so lost,

With stoned eyes, we often choose to hide,

The truth, that it was never the cost.


My mind drifts, into the unknown,

My heart, a shadow in this world of light,

Seeking to forge a path, all alone,

Suspended forever, against the shadow, I fight.


For in the midst of this surreal scene,

It's the hope that keeps us going,

The faith that things will change, and we'll be seen,

Through the darkness, the light will keep glowing

Premium Member Fair-Weather Friends Collaboration With Shane Cooper

You told me we’d always be friends
Out of the blue our friendship ends
I was your ‘forever friend’ - you told me so
Now you simply don’t want to know
 
Thought you the one on who I could rely
A comforting shoulder when I wanted to cry
A shining beacon that brought me light
Our friendship was a pure delight
 
You vanished, didn’t say a word 
Now all my questions go unheard
No reply I need so much to know why
How could you not have said goodbye!
 
A tear I shed as I think of you tonight
Of all that was so happy and bright
I love you still more than you could know
I am desolate that I cannot tell you so
 
Soul mate and friend we were one
Linked in a bond that could not be undone
Yet here I sit the bond broken
My heart aches, my pain unspoken

You keep on moving

Your world as you know it
can suddenly change overnight 
So you rise the next day
to begin your fight

You keep on moving 
There really is no other way 

Your broken heart aches
a tired soul longs for rest 
But yet you give all you have left 
just to do your best

You keep on moving 
Hoping tomorrow is a brighter day 

You give it your all
even when you want to give up
Yet you constantly manage 
to pour from an empty cup 

You keep on moving 
I admire the fact you do it day after day

You will sometimes think
that's it ive had enough
Just you remember though
it won't always be this tough

You keep on moving 
Sending hope and strength directly your way

Premium Member Missing Heaven

When my heart aches, almost breaks,
Dewlike tears fall softly,
Sensing my need for letting go, 
Allowing the feelings to gently flow.

When my light fades, bouncing on shadows,
Lingering in the dark, twilight
Gesturing from the eventual night,
Breathing melancholy into a dazed silence…

I remember that love can change this all-consuming,
Blazing through my heart, burning
Away the faith and grace, the music that lifts my heart,
Whispers hope into the depression, the doubts,
Rustling wings of abiding peace sing to me –
Of a rising sun, an answered prayer, the second chance,
When I’ll know the reasons, the when and how.

When my memories linger in the grayest mists,
A hazy cloud of discouragement,
Broken moments – so forlorn and downcast,
Revealing the loneliness of winter’s snowdrifts.

When my dreams hide beneath trembling smiles,
Rousing the wonders, the stars in the skies,
Moonlight reflecting all the joy I have,
Reassuring, blessing away the fearful past…

I remember love ‘tis a blessing so rare,
From the souls who see me and send me their share
Of laughter and music, faith and goodness,
The breathless rainbows who erase the storms,
Captivate the moments and restore the hope,
Leave the soul with a promise – He is there beside me,
Ever guiding – ever inviting me to be the woman
Who He created me to be, the woman…

Who can see the tears in the mirror, revealing,
Faded dreams, lost moments and misplaced smiles…
Still – what is real is the love that can always fulfill!
Love that is mine for a while, only a short while,
Then, my smile will ascend to heaven where I’ll never cry.

Nobody Knows

Nobody knows the pain I feel Nobody knows how sad I really am Nobody knows the hurt that’s been inflicted on me. 
Nobody knows, nobody cares

I sit alone
Cry my tears
My heart aches beyond repair 
I smile a lot to hide my pain
Don’t feel sorry for me, I feel sorry for you
Nobody knows, nobody cares

I live alone and I will die alone 
Don’t come see me when I’m gone If you can’t see me when I’m here
If you came to see me you would know the pain I feel, the pain you caused. 
Nobody knows, nobody cares

I am on this journey that God put me on. 
My journey that no one understands. 
You need the spirit to understand, the spirit I have the spirit you don’t. The only one that truly cares is God and God alone. So who else do I really need? 
Nobody knows, nobody cares

Hymn Of The Heart

I am sorry, I am sorry 
But sometimes my mind answers to my heart
If love makes a man foolish 
What does that make me then
My heart aches from being in the same room with you,
I bite my tongue just to hold these feelings inside
But they say the chorus a poet bleeds
Lasts a lifetime
Why me? Why me?
This gut-wrenching, godforsaken feeling pierces my soul
My very being aches from this
You are so close, yet my feelings can't reach you
My infatuation for you is the song my soul never meant to sing
Hear these hibiscus hymns as I take them to my grave
Like a violin verse between venom and Venus 
I picked mine and it was you.

Your Life’s Enemy

Through all of life’s heart aches, and with it’s pain,
the darkness gathers, to collect it’s gain.
 Through all the suffering, and all of our tears,
we’re washed away, by our doubts and fears.
 There are doors that we open, unto the night,
and with our soul, they truly fight.
 We walk around, a mask covering our face,
lest someone see us, with disgrace.
 All along deep inside, you know we all feel it’s pain,
to wear our masks, gives the darkness gain.
 Let go of the hurt and pain, heartaches with it’s strife,
begin to focus on the good things in your life.
 It doesn’t take much, to make them you see,
it’s keeping them, is hard for you and me.
 What we focus on, is the paths that we take,
where there is no vision, we begin to flake.
 Only what the butt can endure, the mind takes in you see,
so don’t give a place, to your life’s enemy.
