Ancient Battle

I am endlessly groping among these ancient ruins,
Trying to dodge all these hedges and thorny vines strewn.
I am searching for an ancient artifact, only aided by the moon.
The night has now turned into a pensive day,
Yet, amid this solemn lonely gloom, my day is still a day away.

I am seeking under the sun, amid my pain,
Trying not to come undone, for this is my refrain,
Crying out to my Father, under the pouring rain.
There is no end for me, to my mighty ceaseless praying.
Why is this cruel fight, one so hard to make right?

I am in this saying, “Father, end this nightmare,
So I can start living my primeval day.
No more night demons, so I can be forgiven today!”
I close my eyes and crumble, dropping to my demise,
Calling it quits, I’m sure I’ve lost the sacred prize.

But my Mentor is wise, calling me up from the skies,
Exhorting me He says, “It’s enough, I’ll compromise.
I will save you, as you willingly, faithfully, humbly, sacrifice your life.
Give it to me as a sign, and I will give you Mine.
You’ve given your very best to pass this test, now I’ll bless you through all the rest.”

So with sword and shield in hand,
I yield to my Master’s command.
Together we face this eminent battle land,
As He clears the way through sordid foliage, and slipping sand.
We now proceed straight forward, to a higher place.

He is here now, where I finally behold His face!
I feel His love and light, and know His full amazing grace!
I now know what it means, to truly let go.
We march on through the murky marsh,
Searching for this sacred ancient place of grace.

I know this artifact, is one of ancient design, a pearl of most exquisite white.
A symbol of love, Spirit and holy light,
Hidden deep down, well under ground.
An ancient treasure of sacred worth,
Serving as a sacred token portal, to return home from earth.

Master, only with Thee will I go, for only Thy true great name saves.
I’ll catch on and take hold of Thy soul, to never let go!
On our Father’s Majesty, His right hand, Thou takes all godly control, to accomplish Thy perfect role.
With newness of ways, we live in the promised and saving days.
For now is the time of the great redeeming, the fulfilling of the ancient battle ablaze!


Lonely Dreamer On Valentines Day ..

If I had you my angel ..
I would speak
For as long as there is a breath in my lungs
I would use
As many words as humans have ever created
I would imagine
All kinds of descriptions anyone can think of
But I wouldn’t even come close
To describing the way I feel
When I think of my angel
When I listen to my angel
When I look at my angel
*******
Her thought would shift me away..
To another world .. another reality
One where im better
Where everything is alright
And nothing can ever go wrong
No worries .. no sadness
No burden carried along
********
Her voice would make me fly..
To a higher place
Where all is worthless
so sweet to my ears
That it’ll make
my complex mind go in harmony
With my beating heart
And the only thing that would matter is her
My heart would dance in love
My thoughts would fly in happiness
*******
And her look..
As painted by my brain
Oh god what a look !!
Notice how you shiver
From a powerful human gaze
Now imagine how I’de shiver
If an angel gives that gaze
She can hold my soul among her eyes
Between a wink and another I’de die
My world will shut closed
When her look at me is paused
********
If I had you I’de only think :..
Im so lucky .. I envy me
My guardian angel is watching me
My god I love that girl so much
I have her in the world
I lived a life with a lifeless goal
And walked the earth without my soul
Until the day I saw her face
At first I felt I am so small
So tiny so unconfident
How can I ever reach up
To the angel of beauty itself
Then she came and blessed my life
And since that day on I know my goal
I also know that shes my soul
I love you would be nothing
Not in my dictionary
I adore you wont be even close
To express how I feel about my angel
I told you before
And I tell you again
********
If I had you
I would speak
For as long as there is a breath in my lungs
I would use
As many words as humans have ever created
I would imagine
All kinds of descriptions anyone can think of
But I wouldn’t even come close
To describing the way I feel
When I think of my angel
When I listen to my angel
When I look at my angel

She Sells Suicide

She sells suicide in the mirror i see
by the seashore dark lady
how i adore her
arch angel say it if you want
that whore its allright
she sells herself black magic
by twelve
arms open wide laugh
and i know i got a knew flame
im gonna buy a brand new dance
the most amazing show on earth
dark angel if you will
because she sells suicide from new orleans
suicide from down below something i been missing

all the things she said
something special

perfume i wont take to kindly to

she sells sundials and daisie
bad scratches in seriuous ways
I'll run
and her thoughts make me crazy
she sells jokes and smiles
make it all worth the while
and the gun was in my hand
lend me my light liar liar liar
and ask the page through the tinted glass
has love brought me to a higher place
does she realy truly 
surely she does
she sells suicide in a darkened room
even to the saddest of us clowns
the ones that get down and pray

the ones that care to no longer to save the day
wont turna card up anymore

when all the merry men clapped 
have company they shouldnt have
gypsie music
begging us once to marry them
im a mistake in the past
the brew was gone
Liar liar
string our dreams along
and im coming clean to gypsie music

Im thinking ill be alright and wheres my reason
till we have heaven in sight
say it if you choose
she sells suicide everyday
this im sure
she sells suicide
i want some more
to know more of myself
suicide for the rich
the down beat the trodden
the happy and the poor
very close to you 
I'll find it in you 
and secretly true
the queen and the three
i wish you could have seen my face
lend thee thy light
she sells it by the truck full
she sells it to bangkok
while you pray
and yore wont take to kindly to it

she sells suicide
to forgotten faces
laughing and dancing
like the sound of my voice
i heard it was true
liar liar liar
the black two eyed jack
I'll fight
but never thought id see it like this before

Premium Member ONE PRECIOUS MOMENT

“There are two ways to watch a sunset.” The old man told us
as we stood together in the cool of an evening breeze.
“Standing up is one.” He said. Then he got down on his hands and knees.

“I use to take my granddaughter to the beach to watch the sunset
One day as she was standing next to me 
she said, “PopPop pick me up…pick me up so I can see.”

“What do you mean so you can see.” I asked…I admit I was a little stunned.
She said as only a child can, “I want to be closer to the sun!”

“You’re so tall and I’m so short.” She said.“It really seems unfair.  
I know what the sunset looks like from down here…I want to see it from up there.”

“Immediately I put her on my shoulders…brought her up to a higher place
And from there I could feel the warmth of the smile on her face.”

“I could feel her excitement as she looked left, right…all around.”
She said, ‘the view is so much different here than it was down on the ground.’”

“We stood there for a while with our eyes focused straight ahead…
until I looked up at my granddaughter…You know…this really seems fair…I said.”

“You’ve seen what the sunset looks like from up here…but suddenly I’m aware
I don’t know what it looks like from where you were…down there.”

So I slowly lowered her from my shoulders…and together we sat upon the ground
I’m sure she cold feel my excitement as I looked left, right…all around.

And that is how we watched sunset…it all began with one precious moment never planned.
She upon my shoulders and me joining her upon the sand.

“My granddaughter is all grown up now…in fact she’s even taller than me…
but that one precious moment we shared is etched in my memory…

So if you ever happen on an old man at the beach 
and the unorthodox way he watches the sunset…
we hope you’ll understand..
Why half the time he’s standing up 
and the other half…he’s sitting in the sand.

Premium Member Secluded Lover's Nest

Secluded Lovers Nest.
.
Alone as one in our secluded nest
Made of love to be forever together
Heart to heart and heaven blessed
Lost in the cozy moment
Giving and sharing awakening blissful kisses
And sweet tender caress
.
Eliciting a deep flow of warm emotions
And exquisite mounting sensations
Freedom to express what mere words cannot express
With teasing strokes and loving touches
Increasing tension to a satisfying liberation
.
Silver trails planted upon a sensitive yielding
Smooth receptive sensitive landscape
The secret garden tendered
As two bodies rive with pleasure
And weave in the midst of a firry lake
Assenting to a higher place
Only twin flames can venture
Few travel with the sweetest pain
Upon such a thrilling sensual adventure
.
The waves of hungered passion
Now as a placid lake
Warm embers still aglow
The lavish feast now satisfied
Wrapped up safe in each other's tender arms
Pecks and butterfly kisses
And the glazed look of love
In my lover's eyes
.
She gently nuzzles her lovely head upon my bare chest

I stroke her cascading fragrant tresses
With loving fingers of heartfelt tenderness
I tell her how much I love and cherish
The angel by my side
Two kindred souls and entwined hearts
Brought together by devine providence
My world my life my one and only faithful bride.

How Can I Express

How can I express myself that I desire you
I long for your touch, yes this is so true
Every second that goes by and you are not in my arms
Send waves to my brain sounding the alarm
My heart starts to pitter and patter because you’re not here
I am losing my mind, but with out fear
As the sun cast a shadow and night begins to fall
I’m wanting and needing you, once and for all


How can I express my thoughts and fit them into words
As I think about you, they take flight like free birds
Astounding was the thought to first cross my mind
Loving and admired wasn’t too far behind
Excellence is a quality you were born with from the start
Serenity is the blood that flows thru your heart
Happiness is what I see when I gaze into your eyes
Appealing, need I say more, what a pleasant surprise


How can I express you are all that I have dreamt of
The closest thing to perfect, an Angel from above
The smile you bring to me is permanently etched on my face
Breathing in your essence, taking me to a higher place
So carefree and warm from head to toe
I feel you in my veins, as your love begin to flow
These words I have expressed are ever so true
You are the one I would want my heart to fall into

What's Your Dream

So life has begun it’s battle
before your dreams have surfaced.

So God or man of a fatherly figure
doesn’t hear you cry,
but you still try.
Try to find some comfort
in some small sort of security.

You tried to understand yourself.
by seeing your future plans.
The image to be,
but you always look back.
Selling your future dreams that you lack,
then wonder about the past and see:

The innocence slipping away.
Loosing the dreams,
and the infatuation to believe.
You sought your vision, eyes alone.
Counted the hardships as a lost victory.
Now I want to know one more thing.
What’s your dream?

So now reality 
is the dull pain of life,
writing you into hidden history.
Did you want your name,
to be known among the stars,
or are you just having fun?
Has your dreams begun?

I won’t look back.
But just to see how far I’ve come now.
Have I lived long enough to rest,
or do I need to keep fighting for this dream?
Soothing my burning needs is the final test.

Desire or forgotten wings,
dreaming drifts you to a higher place.
A final home, living your dreams.
But sometimes you wake up alone,
wondering what angels still stand by your side.
What was your dream?

Premium Member Blaze the Skies

This journey of my dreams is everything I’ve waited for
It’s all wrapped up with strings
With sweat and tears, with joy and pain
Through hills and valleys I have come
A thousand dreams I dared to dream
I stand here in this time and place
Where stars are born to blaze the skies

Blaze the skies with your life
We live each day and weave our dreams
Each life is a song that must be sung
As stars are born to blaze the skies

When I recall the years, the many fears, the hidden tears
The solid walls unseen 
The rocky road, the times I fell
The yearning grew, the struggles too
A million stars have shone their lights
Along the way to where I am
Where stars are born to blaze the skies

Blaze the skies with your life
We live each day and weave our dreams
Each life is a song that must be sung
As stars are born to blaze the skies

I’ll soar with touching songs that warm the heart that feed the soul
To heights beyond the stars, 
And light the path for all who dream
Who know the laughter and the pain
To give each song its wings to fly
To a higher place in the universe
Where stars are born to blaze the skies

Love Rekindled

Lovers each parted their ways,
Tears cause misty sprays.
Colder grew them both,
Love amid them was now an old growth.

Lovers wear on their poignant face a pair of abysmal drenched brows,
Each parted brow one crumpled, other rumpled as twinge, sonorous it grows.
Their ways parted but for scores to come both would grieve,
Tears to obscure make believe a poker face for all to deceive.

Cause misty sprays now quench and quell the fervent fires of the raving heart,
Colder grew to icier but a dim flame of passion lies to be kindled although apart.
Them both a score later brought face to face by fate or fortune to meet,
Love amid them, wedged, now flickered and glinted, sneering smiles as they greet.

Was now at hand frozen silence and two tear blubbering faces,
An old growth of love renascence and regenerates.
Now the feelings cold erase and hate displace,
To make way for their searching love to take them to a higher place.

To melt intrepidly into each other’s arms and embrace,
Depose and oust with grace the long worn mask of the poker face.
