Cross of Calvary

Christ is my Savior,
In Him I take my stand.
Death shall not change my behavior,
For eternal life is pierced in His Hand.

Through the valley of deadly shadows,
I shall carry His Sword in my sheath
His compassion dwells inside my window,
His Word of Truth breathes deep beneath.

In his blood lives the Spirit of Salvation,
From His Heart streams the most divine love.
I rejoice in the covenant for forgiveness above damnation,
It is the only way I could reach Heaven above.

And even though my cross makes me weep and weary,
With lashes to my heart making life heavier.
I will hold fast, for in the Cross of Calvary,
Christ became my Savior.

The Struggle Within

The Struggle Within
A lonely heart sits and waits
Seconds tick and time abates
Each day passes in s blink
All i do is sit and think
Of all the things i could have done
Away from life i tried to run
Knowing there is sunshine around the bend
Waiting for my soul to mend
Never giving up the hope
Fighting against the slippery slope
My footing stumbles
The mountain crumbles
Trying to knock me down
Each step i take toward the top
Something my path does block
Struggling to push on
Knowing that my heart is strong
I see the light up ahead
Less struggle to get out of bed
Faith around the corner lies
A new tomorrow, brighter skies
The goal i seek is now insight
Push the sadness from my mind
Dropping now the ties that bind
My heart is lighter
Inside my soul sparks a fire
Leaving behind the words of a liar
My life is my own
I’ve fought long and hard
Finally time for my journey to start

Revival of the Heart

Revival of the Heart 

Oh, how the trials of this world are never ending.
To cast off, afar and descending.

Oh, how the  heart weighs when there is a heavy load to bear.
Wishing  to make the load lighter with someone to share.

Only to wish for love that would last forever
Grasping onto hope; and in the end to endeavor.

Searching for something to hope onto.
That doubt would be less and reliance would be true.

Oh, how the soul feels forsaken and sad.
Searching and grasping for the love that  I once had.

Always feeling dejected and of little importance.
Basing life on every little circumstance.

There is a true reliance  and a perpetual love.
That is promised from the Holy Father above.

Premium Member Web of Chaos

Tangled in a web of chaos; 
confusion there at every turn, 
but somewhere in the mesh of mayhem 
were lessons that I had to learn. 

Many times my will has wavered. 
Many days and nights were strewn 
with ups and downs of smiles and sorrows, 
while in my heart the passion burned. 

Compassion for the cries of many; 
those who wail and those who mourn 
for those now lost and gone to heaven 
drifting on the breeze of death. 

In my heart the love is burning; 
its glowing embers feed my soul. 
At my core the tide is turning; 
the fractured mirror now a whole. 

Say what you feel to those around you. 
Speak in words of trust and love 
for one day they'll be gone forever 
lost to ethereal realms above.

Same, But Different Views

The same person, a different view.

Your mind wonders
You wonder how you arrived at such a place
So free, limitless, untouchable
You breathe in the free pure air
Absorb the innocent views, too pure to criticise 
You are your greatest friend

	Your mind wonders
	The snarl at this cruel world
	Unfair, hateful and disrespectful
	The smell of anger fill your lungs
	Sights you see are to be censored
	Trust no one but yourself

Paradise, the smile you wear catches
Others see your view and are embraced
You truly have blessed your self 
You hold wealth in the palm of your hands
You want for nothing
You have everything that your heart desires

	Paradise, a place that is only dreamed of.
	Why embrace when others don’t care you say
	Church is the only place that can bless you
	You can not see wealth
	You will never have enough
	Your heart will desire everything you have not.

You are of great stature
A simple person of simple needs
Simple by way of perception
Nothing is a challenge
Tasks are presented to you 
You take them as positive lessons

	You struggle with only yourself
	A simple desire to love to hate
	To you, nothing is free
A walk in the park presents its challenge
	Nothing is your fault
	Everyone else is to blame

Premium Member The Solid Truth

THE SOLID TRUTH

On the day I was born.
Everyone put me on a petal stool.
The Angel's played a trumpet horn. 
While everyone called me a ~precious jewel.
Harps played!
Doves flew!
That's how my birth was displayed.
As I got older ~ As I grew!
My heart of gold started to fade.
Sinking down in to the blues.
I hide my thoughts under the shade.
Wondering how one screw got lose.
I removed the pin from my own grenade. 
Like TNT~ I lit my own fuse.
Blowing myself away from your masquerade.
My life has no buttons to defused..
My heart is twisted with barbwire as a barricade.
I live this rotten life, no reason to hit the snooze.
Sweating and letting the thoughts of revenge cascade.
A level of rage and hate is my only muse.
You camouflaged into a blonde beast with the eyes of jade.
The truth has come out, with an unacceptable excuse.

The solid truth, is like solid waste.
A force of mean, turning a heart cold.
Here's the truth do you want my new sour taste.
Forget when I was sweet, when I was bold.
I enjoy this new feeling of being out of place.
The truth was told..
In your face.
I laughed at the way it was all unfold.
Walking with a smile~ one day you will die,
and pay for what is owed.

While I sleep at night with Glory..
You'll wake up everyday to my untold story.
With the solid truth that lies have no end.
Guilt will have everyone crying at my funeral.
Wondering what happened to their "precious jewel.

Goodbye Miss

The day of my fifteenth anniversary is here
The dawn in all its glory is near
The promise for a second honeymoon
My excited heart has started to croon
Expectantly I turn towards him
And see him all dressed in cream
He gives me a kiss
And says goodbye miss
Tears spring to my eyes
The hope within dies
I knew he had forgotten
Fate is really rotten
I passed so many tests
Our marriage was the best
The first flush of love has died
Now life seems to be tied
Alone I drink a toast to the two of us
It is not my nature to fuss
But tender heart is torn to shreds
I let the wine go to my head

Desire

IF I could make maize grow in a desert
Then that power I possess by your will,
That which can make static air become wind,
That which can cause trees swing side by side.
If I feel down and out right now,
It is that I am not living by your shadow
For when I walk in your shadow I feel my heart serene,
It gives me strength to walk on, to live

THE moment I stray far from you,
I come face-a-face with my enemies I fear,
I meet straight out with devastation,
I discover that all green grass is brown-scorched
And flowers of yesterday have drooped in the sun
As if sulking as in suffering from a cold;
The mountain appears massive and strange
And I speculate: alone who can craft a mountain?
The flash I drift far from you,
The sea ripples with fumed waves and iced storms
As if it is a combat zone for warring nations

WHEN I struggle with you in my soul,
I get upset and my essence sheds tears
Not of hate, but of my incredible love for you,
I am derisory and without you am dead
For I cannot have sane mind-set anymore,
I feel like a man who died two centuries ago.
I cannot lope far from you as your shadow is ample
And it has unsullied, piercing eyes
That can see anything veiled and exposed;
I cannot talk sick of you my superior,
Your sharp ear resembling that of a wild hare
Hears the lot I whisper, you are amazing
I will not think perverse of you
Since you already know what I think,
You know when I am faking at you.

SO by your shadow I shall subsist,
It is not momentary like that of human beings,
Even when the sun is out of the array
And when the moon has botched as often,
Your shadow still shall be felt universally,
Though it can never be seen by man;
By your shadow I shall live
And my heart and soul I shall wholly give you
As a token of my sky-love for you my grace.
What else can I give you other than my heart?
Other than my passionate true love?

Sisters In Arms

Sisters in Arms
You don’t have to like me 
And respect, like trust is earned.
Not everyone likes everyone 
Is something that i’ve learned
You can talk behind my back 
If it makes you feel good
Sneer at things i do and say
While on your lips judging smile play
But in my hardened shoes
I’d like to see you walk a mile
You’ve no idea the life i’ve lived
Or the cuts my heart has felt
No clue the hand life’s dealt
To me these same things you could say
And you would surely be right
The difference is i don’t treat you
As though you were beneath my sight
I don’t laugh at you and say those things
That make you cry at night
Not righteous is my heart or soul
I’ve made my own mistakes
At times i’ve hit the gas 
When i should have hit the breaks
But when i see the hurt and pain 
You’ve felt  throughout your life
My eyes tear up and my heart weeps 
To know of all that strife
I don’t look down on you 
Or pretend i have the right to judge
And when you need someone to talk
I’ll give a gentle nudge
But for now i’ll forgive 
I know you’re hurting too  
I won’t pretend to know the hand
That life has dealt to you

"net Lust"

You sit in your "man cave" lusting off the net..
Not bringing it up, because you know it makes me upset.

And yet, evil fingers invite me into your domain.
If I turned to the "dark side" I wouldn't be the same.

My heart is hurting but, who am I joking?
I know what you look up, and what you are enjoying.

You delete "my hurt" and cover your faces of lust.
Too late, you have crossed my boundaries of trust.

You peek into windows hoping for something new.
Then you click to close them after "you're through".

And yet, some would come to say...
At least he's not physically going astray.

My heart ruminates over this theory.
Yet mentally it leaves my thoughts feeling weary.

Society~Go join him in his wonderland of cyber fun!
But, my soul apprehends, this would be morally wrong.
