Ode to Pain

Ode to Pain:
Springing forth and flowing in energetic liquidity. Emotions in motion in chasms far reaching me. 
Of hearts preaching unbalanced in teaching thee. Lessons in life.
In balance.
Far from reaching me. 
Ode to pain in yesterday's strife. 
Memories of laid down bodies at night.
Darkest of specters nefarious in plight. 
Left us unanswered in misery's strife. 
Ode to the moon.
Only a fraction of light. 
In mortal terror.
Rancid owls screeching in flight! 
How, let us see through pitch blackness and fright? 
When words are but all remembered.
With no dawning of light. 
In lew of an awakening mind in the night. 
We are given to remember our lives from great heights. 
Falling from heaven became habits and rites. 
Trapping our intentions.
Expectations arise.
Praying for forgiveness so that our Son may still rise. 
Giving us forgiveness for wicked deeds in sight. 
From the bowels are earthquakes.
Not butterflies.
Just lies. 
We gather for sermons.
Hope will arise? 
But all we are doing is looking elsewhere in spite. 
Rather than the victims of our deeds in their eyes. 
Instead we pray for forgiveness in the absence of sight.
Focusing on before.
The traumatic moments we die.
It's only in that moment.
Forgiveness will arise.
With power to break chains from your victims felt cries. 
Relieving the pressures of dark gasses.
Bottled up inside. 
Dissolving the lies from behind those eyes. 
Your soul became wicked and suffered by night.
But mourning for forgiveness is not only just wise.
It's the only reason the sun has to wake up.
Have the courage to rise. 
Shining light on your failures as a human is nice. 
But shining light from your victim is forgiveness.
It carries you in time.
Relieving your worries and healing your mind.
Instead we kneel in darkness and pray to a vine. 
Who's divine berries are sweeter and made into wine.
But the thorns are ripping apart in your mind.
Now that It's open.
Your blood we shall find.
Dripping and dropping and leaving behind.
A trail of just sorrow.
Nothing in mind. 
Tears are long passed. 
Nothing to find. 
When the dark heart will not follow.
It's left there behind.
In these dark mortal terrors.
Forever.
You're left here.
You're Blind! 
Dark heart of the lonely.
I love you
As if You are mine.

Kings Ball

King's Ball
Am I your secret light, hidden from day? 
I am your reflection of moonlight you say? 
Although, your light touches my heart in this way.       So distant from your warmth, that I feel, on my way.  
I start over anew as night turns to day.  
 It goes on forever, day after day. 
A cycle unyielding, uncompromising  this way!.. 
The moon is seen, at night best!
This is what you say? 
We’ve always known it’s this same old way. 
It’s lonely to know, there's never a day. 
I will chase you almost forever and your light on the way. 
Seeking out refuge even, just for a day.  
Oh, once more… 
Do you not hear what you say?! 
Where are you my love? 
I am here, for a moment, never to stay! 
As I start to chase you and the light of your rays. 
Your journey continues  to see me to this day! 
At night it seems, you’re here to see me and stay. 
Exposing me fully, to all that you may! 
So, I Bask in your light as night turns to day.
Why am I so lonely as night turns to day? 
At least you still hold me in your light until day. 
I will always chase you, to stop and hear you say. 
Will you let me hold you?! 
Please let me stay? 
We have to keep going around in this way? 
Ever since I’ve known you, I’ve loved you this way! 
I can not let go of you, please let me stay? 
But I can't control you.
I just can not say… 
How long  have I told you, I'd be here some days?   I've always known you by the light of your rays. 
Reflecting the whole of you by night on your way. 
I've never shown you for a moment, I can stay!.. 
When can I know you through night and through day? 
Can't I just hold you, from night on through day? 
I've always loved you, in so many ways! 
I’ve never told you, my love is this way. 
You are my moon, let me be your Rey? 
But I can not control you. 
I like you this way. 
You are my moon. 
The light after day.
 I love you eternal.! 
Although, I can’t stay. 
This embrace is a dance,  turning night into day.
This light that I’ve shown you is eternal this way. 
I've always known you, that, you can not stay. 
Why do I love you and chase you this way?! 
I've never owned you and I wished you would stay. 
Tonight I will hold you, then on your way. 
But, I've never told you that I like it this way!... 
I've never shown you my light in, this way. 
If I were to tell you… 
Would it be this way? 
I would still chase you, from night until day.  
When time has but ended and it's no longer this way. 
You'll always and forever be stuck in my way! 
With all I have promised, will you let me stay? 
You are my moon, will you make me your Rey. 
Please let me see you?! 
If not forever. 
At Least until day? 
I won't disappoint you… 
Other half to my day.

God watching

God is watching
Through your eyes
Your thoughts 
Your actions
Your compliment
Your lies
God is hearing
All in ear
In thought
Your fears
The love that binds
God is feeling
The light
The tremble 
The still mind of the wise
God is all knowing
All that's true
That resides in you
In the heart of those 
Be true
Who in he abides
