God Rests In the Lows
Do you delight in exaltation? In those neon bright lights I’ve been mesmerized before You are in the breathless highs But best in the captivating lows Exquisitely in temptations Divinely in the mundane How long will I deny you? Seeking your high like a drug I forsake you on the cross Run to sin city with a die High on my own ego, I...

Premium Member Salvations Rests Behind True Faith's Gold Door
Salvations Rests Behind True Faith's Gold Door Heart mourning under the cold starry night O' tis the pain cloaked and frigid cold And yes, it is far from the ravens' flight The aching years, before the sun burnt old Midnight cocks are out jumping and crowing They walk about as if skating on ice Yet we living still pray for the knowing Between...

There- My Upright Stand Rests On Solid Rock
No day have I ever work with the clock, Come sun; come moon to running time's relay... There- my upright stand rests on solid rock. While sun shines; upon my sweats, my hands knock... Wealth's door at health's risk- foot bills I delay. No day have I ever work with the clock. Boys are not stones; men are not rock to...

Hope Never Rests
While looking for a bridge to cross over tonight Connecting time honored values to internet blight I thought and I pondered, as I surfed on the net But the things that it offered were sadly abject Where is the laughter, the thrill of the chase Through forest and meadow, with all of your mates Gone is the connection, looking eye into eye Replaced with an I-pad, and virtual lies The children...

Premium Member As Autumn's Beauty Rests In Dying of Its Leaves
As Autumn's Beauty Rests In Dying Of Its Leaves ( Vae cuius obturatus est signatum manu sua. ) ( Cuius spiritus in eis audita populi et ceterorum domantur socordiamque effusos) ( Cujus animam servare non curat.) Years have waxed, waned and far flung since Newborn dawn's glory, famishing desires Sunset reds, night-dreams represent suspense Hot-searing flames of old, romantic fires. I...

He Rests
Furrows End is where he rests, Beneath the moonlight in his vest, Eyes sewn shut so he never sees, Mouth taped shut so no one can here his pleas. Mumbling bag of bones is he, Once lived by the raging sea, A hermit of the oldish days, Now lays in this coffin where he decays. He once had a heart, But it was so...

Premium Member My Heart Rests With You
When skies are dark and feelings blue Holding onto dreams by a string My heart rests with you A steady flow of reassurance In the whirlwinds life does bring When skies are dark and feelings blue You have reached me, it is true In the midst of everything My heart rests with you I am able to see the view So my heart continues to...

Premium Member In My Silence, Rests the Remains of a Slain Beast
In My Silence, Rests The Remains Of A Slain Beast In my silence, rests the remains of a slain beast, the gathering of wolves, to indulge in a feast. Such was once not a defeat in deep shame rather, a great victory in a man's family name. This day I speak this truth, of the ancient past cherished words of sweet...
