Premium MemberLost I am, my angel, take me home, I gently plead

Lost I am, my angel, take me home, I gently plead,
I surrendered the reins of my love to a stranger without face or presence,
I stumble and fall on this empty, endless road, alone and lost,
I traveled until tears were no longer a support in the past.
I grind away in emptiness, a wardrobe abandoned by time

Plead

Thank you for the guilt
you planted in me
for making me worry
for what I never did
for mistaking my intentions
and make me plead
for stealing my confidence
and my peace

Premium MemberHe'll Plead Insanity


In the stillness of a cool, spring morning,
A cardinal’s heart is heavy – he’s heartbroken.
Softly calling for the lover he is mourning.

Thumps noisily against the clear glass pane,
Reflecting the scarlet bird, lost in his grief,
Striking the window, again and again – is he insane?

Premium MemberOpposed To Find Your Rainbows End

A quiet storm made its way
Feelings strewn and blown astray
Enamored in one another were we
In turns a desperation to be free
Lost in each other, thus
A soft-focused portrait of us

Warm is the sea as the sun is swallowed                 
Pleading vacant

Plead With Me

Plead with me,
in this agony,
to let us breath.
Extend our hands and arms,
towards the blinding sun,
and tell the world,
how far we've come.

Premium MemberPlead My Cause-

You plead my cause
Know that I'm not worthy
Note that I am filthy
And yet you came along
You came a long and you wash me
You know tat I was guilty
and yet as my lawyer
you plead my cause
I was lost in the wilderness
You plead my cause
I was blinded you took those scalds off mine eyes
now I see your

Premium MemberLittle Lives Plead

Little lives plead,
Don’t make them bleed.

God-given gifts, they must be spared, 
Let us say no to abortion,
It’s a sin worse than extortion,
Snuffing innocent lives uncared; 

Let us say no to abortion,
Expecting love, they’re unprepared
For the cruel deed that has snared,
It’s a sin worse than extortion;

Little lives plead,
Let us say no to abortion,
Their cries for mercy,

Premium MemberI Plead the Fifth- Im Innocent

Me and my muse had a fight,
She said I played it too safe.

Our nasty duel lasted all night.
I got so mad; I told her to leave.

She's been gone since October.
I have no tricks up my sleeve.

If you see a lackluster poem,
my muse is missing; blame her.

Rush Hour

Lady,I am serious, I want to marry you 
I cherish no other but you 
Sweet fruits are not sweeter than my love 
My love is sweeter than wine; honey 

So please baby I want your love in return 
I want to marry you 
I want us to have a family 
Or else you may kill

The Deep Darkness, The Hope, Words Sent To Plead

I am lost, wicked world grants no reprieve
Castle of darkness, black-cast to deceive
Towers staggering in the boiling  mist
I that dare to shake my angry left fist
From the deep chasm, life is set to perish
Within fated storm lies all I cherish
Night- born horrors seem to forever last
I

Aye Passively Plead Death To Please Release Me From Agonizing Clutches

(alternately titled: Typical daily mindset today – 
July 17th, 2020)

The following words
mostly unredacted, nevertheless finessed
for curbed poetic/prosaic appeal
lock, stock and barrel
codify, and edify (hoopfully not mortify)
any reader unbeknownst and/or familiar
with unsteady state of yours truly,
(an ordinary garden variety generic guy)

who ofttimes expresses suicidal ideations
merely freed pent up
watery melancholic thoughts
(pitted within his psyche)
to experience vicariously personal

Latvia and Libya: Up For My Prayer During Global Pandemic

LORD, I humbly greet You, return to my prayer list from near LESOTHO
Adoration is the FIRST STEP in prayer (That's how I begin) using A-C-T-S
The letters, not the word, A for adoring Him, C for confession of sins
Variety & Individuality in prayer, but these steps are essential (O Lebanon!)
I intercede, Abba-Father, for countries whose names
