Save me a place by your side,
entrapped in your thoughts.
I want to drink the color of your eyes
as I search the path to your heart.
I want to dip my fingers in your beauty
and sketch a portrait of shadows,
intermingled with light, intricately
floating on your love like a phantom.
You’re like a glimmering moonstone,
kissed by golden sunlight,
bedazzled by your skin tone,
as I inhale your caramel thighs.
I hear the sound of your footsteps
echoing through my mind.
Our lips touch in the perfect kiss,
sealed within these poetic lines.
If you locked me into a cage or a cell
I would dream I was a monarch butterfly
making zigzag patterns in the sky
flirting and flirting with marigolds orange and yellow
their pungent fragrance, overwhelmingly familiar
You could slide in gruel for my supper
It could be sloppy, soggy, lumpy, and gray-ugly
I would pretend it was pot roast, carrots and potatoes
Tasting Heinz 57 on it, delighting in this meal
You might be irritated at this point
You can try to break me
but my imagination will rise to the depths of joy
giving me an alternative universe
nurturing and loving me, showing me grace
in my most desperate situation
What can save me
From being sad
Almost every single day
Father can you
Put some happiness
In my life
Because I am already
Sick of being sad
And I don’t want
My friends to see
Sad
Because that will
Make them worried
About me
What can save me
From waking up
Tired every morning
My father
I know that I can’t go back
To sleep
Or I will not sleep at night
Yes father
I don’t get enough
Sleep during the night
I am telling the truth
Yes father I don’t stay up
All night
Because it will jeopardize
My health
Also father I am aware that
Sleep is very important for me
Yes father every night
I am trying hard to go
To bed early
I am not fabricating lies
Father
I am being honest with you
And I am also telling you the truth
What can save me
From losing my mind
Because father I am
Losing my mind all
The time
Yes father I also have
A bad temper
And I also lose my
Bad temper
At my friends
And also they don’t
Like that
I don’t blame them
Also father I lost my
Friends again
Save me
Save me from these thoughts
Save me from these feelings
I fear my mind will rot
I need to keep my wits about me
I need saving from this illness
I need the Kaos to end
I long for the stillness
I'm losing my passion
I feel my soul slipping away
I need saving from myself
More and more each day.
What name befits my current plight?
Cursed, broken, depressed, or a walking dead?
I've tried and tried to find an easy light,
Through this hard life, just to make it ahead.
Yet failure greets me, and it breaks me inside,
I believe in God, but He's too quiet for me.
Are my sins too many, His light to hide?
Or He turned his face and let me suffer silently?
Was I born at a time so wrong,
Where every odd against me does play?
Friendless, unlucky, unfortunate, I belong,
To a soul, mind, and life in disarray.
How plain can I speak for you to understand?
I'm struggling, financially, spiritually, thinking of DEATH.
But I'm too young to leave this land,
My family looks up to me with their hopeful breath.
What shall I do, peasant's boy, now grown?
God, hear this sinner's plea.
Rescue my soul, don't leave me alone,
Let me serve you, and let my spirit be free.
I dream of a life good and fair,
Have me experience that before my eyes close.
Change me, Lord, with your loving care,
Free me from this path of pain and woes.
My car was flying in the air upside down
Off the freeway, headed toward trees
I had never heard of black ice, had no idea about it
I was only twenty-eight-years old
But I knew I was going to die
I thought of my three young daughters
Yelled out “Jesus, please save me!”
the car flipped right side up
and landed with a whomp in deep snow.
A man waded fifty feet in snow to check on me.
He was amazed
Said he had worked in a pit crew of the Indianapolis 500
Said “I never saw a car do that before. How did you do it?”
I said it was like a giant hand reached out and flipped me.
I told him I had yelled out to God for help.
He took me to work, but that was the end of the conversation.
I think miracles are too much for some people to comprehend.
What is the purpose of wars!
to promote slaughter...
to decimate the inhabitants of the earth...!
"Though the journey's uncertain,
My love for you illuminates the way.
You desire me, and I know it's true,
Forever and always, my heart belongs to you.
I acknowledge past mistakes,
And vow to make amends, for our love's sake.
Longing for forgiveness, I wait,
To start anew, and seal our fate.
Save me tonight, take my hand,
Let's create a peaceful world, our promised land.
I'd sacrifice everything for you,
My love, my heart, my everything, forever true.
Show faith, trust me, and take a leap,
Together we'll craft a love that will forever keep
Please save me tonight"
Lord, Your love saved me
I'm so grateful for them all
Thank You in between.
From mind that seeks cosy ease, O save me,
From all such mental disease, O save me.
Easy toeing the tasks that seldom tax,
From ease that causes no crease, O save me.
When right, O to feel I alone am right,
From lifelong of such false breeze, O save me.
To miss mine and teach all duty their own,
To tee from such awkward tees, O save me.
When searching oasis, way lost in sands,
From pleading stiff heart, loose knees, O save me.

Rip my heart out Save me,Rip my heart out Call me,Running,Heart beating,Eyes in hysteria,Escaping reality Into psycho chaos,
A vertigo leap,Maniacal voices calling,Laughing,Shaming,Rip my heart out Save me,Rip my heart out Love me,Dance To our tunes,Dance To our call,Absorb our tunes,Use our tunes To destroy. .... . yourself,
Go into psycho chaos,Love is there,We will love you,Maniacal love calling,Rejecting,Accepting,Escaping reality Into psycho chaos,A vertigo leap Of a wanderer,In a shaming void,Rip my heart out Save me,Call me,Love me.
Would you save me if you could, my love,
In moments of passion's fiery glow?
When entwined, our souls rise high above,
Do you see the depths my heart does show?
In your arms, the world dissolves away,
As love's sweet dance unfolds its grand design.
Intertwined bodies, we gracefully sway,
Sharing secrets whispered, oh so divine.
But love's embrace is more than fleshly pleasure,
It's the melding of two souls, forever entwined.
For in the realm of intimacy's treasure,
True connection blooms, a love undefined.
So, would you save me if you could, my love?
In love's embrace, we find life's meaning thereof.
I’m on the ledge of the bridge
My thoughts are of my yesterdays
The pain rips through my heart
I sweat and I yell out for help
Rescue me
Take me to a safe place
Where my haunts don’t manifest
Save me from Hell and the resistance
Be my arms and my legs
I lean over the edge
I don’t want to go
But I’m slipping
Tomorrow will never come
Please rescue me
You could save me, now,
Babe, with you dark eyes,
The flame of this bright candle
Making me read new words,
You could save me, now,
Babe, with your long black hair,
I discover another dusty road
To escape the grand desert,
You could save me, now,
Babe, with your silent red lips,
My silly questions, tomorrow,
Always get an answer.
It's 1 am and I'm trying to sleep
The stillness of night disturbed by shrieks
Noise that I couldn't stand
Why must I be so quick to cry?
Forgive me again, once more this instance
It's hard to live when things are like this
I want to cry to someone
But I just might be more of a burden
It's hard to keep it in
Trying to put up a façade is tiring
Sometimes I just want to let it all out
Is love truly gone & replaced by anger?
How petty to hear your reasonings
But who am I to judge when I don't know all
I don't want to resent you
But you're giving me reasons to rethink that
I prayed that I might not sin because of it
Should I just keep silent or speak?
Looks like the former is more appealing
But it still breaks my heart I might burst
Sometimes I think what would've happened
If your regrets didn't happen?
Would you truly be happier?
Maybe, maybe not.
Life has a way of interrupting your joys
No wonder others choose death
Worry not, I'm not stupid to do that
But it seems I might've already died inside.
