SIN, SATAN, AND DEATH HOW THE THREE RELATE

In shadows deep, where darkness weaves its thread,
Sin's whispered lure, a path where mortals tread.
Temptation's fruit, a taste of what's denied,
It's here that Satan's cunning plans reside.

With cloven hooves and fiery eyes ablaze,
The fallen one, in wicked ways, conveys,
Deception's art, the master of the lie,
As Sin and Satan dance beneath the sky.

But Death, a specter cold, an endless night,
It waits for souls, extinguishing the light.
A consequence of choices, paths we choose,
In the cycle, Sin and Death, they're bound to fuse.

For Sin, the spark that sets temptation's fire,
Leads mortals down a treacherous desire.
In Satan's web, they find themselves entwined,
As Death awaits, its victory defined.

Yet in this tale of darkness, do not despair,
For hope can rise, dispelling all despair.
Redemption's light can break Sin's binding chain,
And from this trio's grasp, one can attain.

In life's grand tapestry of joy and strife,
We find the strength to face this endless strife.
For Sin, Satan, Death, they may persist,
But love and faith, in our hearts, exist.

THE END OF DAYS

In shadows cast on crumbling walls,
A world once vibrant, now enthralls.
Sunset's blaze, a final dance,
As echoes fade, in apocalyptic trance.

Whispers of winds through barren lands,
Silent cries on shifting sands.
A symphony of chaos, nature's last breath,
Embracing demise, the dance of death.

Stars extinguished, night's canvas bare,
Moon weeps softly, a lone despair.
Cities echo ghostly tales,
As the end unfurls, the final veils.

Yet in the ruins, a seed of hope,
Nature's resilient, a lifeline to cope.
From ashes rise a new birth,
A chance for healing, on scarred Earth.

A TIRED SHADE OF GOLD

The years linger on taking its toll.
You’ve been through it all looking back you behold.
All the things you’ve seen.
The many crazy dreams.

Now you wind down as your life begins to slow.
Seeing faces that are unfamiliar these people you don’t know.
Daydreaming you stare outside.
You wonder over your life and how it has passed you by.

All the things you wish you would have done.
Now wishing your life could be redone.
Nothing is familiar you don’t even recognize yourself.
You won’t let anyone in you won’t let anyone help.

Now you’re unable to speak but oh the words you would say.
Never take life for granted the price you now pay.
All the years are gone and now you are old.
Just barely hanging on in your tired shade of gold.

A BRIGHTR SHADE OF WHITE

Oh the purity that I chase.
Longing to be free from the worry on my face.
I wish to be clean and free from my sins.
Following my Lord is the only way I win.

Wondering through the night I stare back at the stars.
Being mindful of the pain as I hide all my scars.
I only want things to fall in place right.
I long to be in a brighter shade of white.

I don’t hurt others as they will hurt me.
I let things go so I can remain free.
As I travel through this life never knowing where it goes.
I never forget my God and what my spirit truly knows.

That I am to be holy as my Father is holy and that is such a task.
How do I do that? I always have to ask.
I find myself asking what would Jesus do?
Never doing anything that leaves me feeling blue.

I just want to be one with my creator.
Be thankful for all He gives me and be like my savior.
Getting through the days and making it safely through the night.
Come out cleaner on the other side in a brighter shade of white.

A DARKER SHADE OF BLACK

A darker shade of black.
To keep the shadows from peeking back.
A dimmer shade of dark.
Keep the fear out from my heart.

As I closed my eyes I drifted off to sleep.
Lying wide awake as darkness hovered over me.
In a darker shade of black the devil will attack.
Whispering my name but never knowing where he's at.

Lying in this dream I fear.
Nightmares don't come in this clear.
Paralized by the sounds of darkness that creep.
I lay in a stage of sleep.

Taken hostage from where my weakness lies.
Sleeping and I can't close my eyes.
At the darkness I stare back.
In a darker shade of black.

THE HELL WHERE UNBELIEVERS GO

In fiery depths where shadows dwell,
A tale of torment I shall tell.
Of a realm where unbelievers tread,
Where darkness reigns and hope has fled.

In the depths of Hell, a fearsome place,
Where sinners find no saving grace.
The flames lick at their souls so cold,
Their cries of anguish, never told.

Unbelievers, lost in their disdain,
Denying truth, embracing pain.
They wander aimless through the night,
Forever shrouded in eternal blight.

No light of mercy, no solace found,
Their hearts imprisoned, tightly bound.
Their eyes behold a twisted sight,
A realm devoid of love and light.

Each step they take, a constant burn,
As punishment for what they spurned.
Regrets and sorrows, their constant guide,
In this inferno, where souls reside.

Their voices echo in the abyss,
The price of ignorance, their eternal hiss.
For in this realm, truths they denied,
Now haunt their spirits, amplified.

Yet, let us not forget the grace,
That offers hope, a saving embrace.
For even in darkness, redemption's light,
Can bring the lost back from the night.

So, heed this warning, unbeliever dear,
Seek truth and love, let doubt disappear.
For Hell awaits those who turn away,
But in belief, find salvation finds its way.

THE TEASE

SHE DANCES JUST BEYOND YOUR REACH,
A WHISPER LOST ALONG THE BEACH.
A SHADOW CAST BY THE SETTING SUN,
A GAME BEGUN, BUT NEVER WON.

SHE SPEAKS IN RIDDLES, SOFT AND SLY,
A LAUGHING GLINT BEHIND HER EYE.
A BRUSH OF HAND, A FLEETING DANCE,
THEN VANISHES MID-STEP OF DANCE.

HER LIPS, THEY PROMISE UNTOLD BLISS,
BUT VANISH JUST BEFORE THE KISS.
A SILK OF WORDS, A VELVT NO,
SHE PULLS, THEN LETS THE SILENCE GROW.

YOU CHASE, YOU FALL, YOU RISE AGAIN,
CAUGHT IN THE WEB OF SWEET, SHARP PAIN.
SHE IS THE THRILL, THE EDGE, THE FLAME,
THE TEASE WHO PLAYS, BUT TAKES NO NAME.

THE DEVIL

In shadows cast, where darkness thrives,
A figure lurks, with malevolent eyes.
The Devil, whispered in tales of old,
A symbol of temptations manifold.

Cloaked in deceit, with a cunning grin,
A mastermind of chaos from within.
In folklore spun and scriptures penned,
The embodiment of sins, some contend.

A rebel angel, once adorned with light,
Now dwelling in the realms of night.
With whispers sly and fiery schemes,
The Devil haunts our mortal dreams.

Yet, in the depths of this abyss,
Reflections of our darker bliss.
A mirror to our flaws and fears,
The Devil's guise, a warning near.

A choice defined by each soul's sway,
To resist temptation or lead astray.
In verses dark and tales untold,
The Devil's myth, a story unfolds.

LOVE CONQUERS ALL

THE SKY, ONCE BLUE, NOW BLEEDS WITH FIRE,
A HUSH HAS STILLED THE MORNING CHIOR.
THE OCEANS SIGH  WITH BRINY BREATH,
AND WHISPER HYMNS OF ANCIENT DEATH.

THE TREES BOW LOW, THEIR LEAVES LIKE TEARS,
THEIR ROOTS GROWN DEEP WITH BURIED FEARS.
NO BIRD NOW DARES TO PIERCE THE GLOOM,
EACH BRANCH A CROSS, EACH HILL A TOMB.

THE SUN, A SWOLLEN, DYING FLAME,
REFUSES NOW TO PLAY THE GAME.
OF DAWN AND DUSK, OF LIGHT AND SHADE,
ITS GOLDEN PROMISES NOW SEEM TO FADE.

MOUNTAINS CRUMBLE INTO SAND,
TIME SLIPS LIKE ASH FROM GOD'S OWN HAND.
THE STARS BLINK OUT, ONE FINAL CALL,
A CURTAIN DRAWN ON HEAVEN'S HALL.

BUT IN THE SILENCE, SOMETHING SAYS;
A WHISPERED HOPE THROUGH CHOKING HAZE.
THAT LOVE ONCE SPARKED IN THE DARKEST NIGHT,
IT MIGHT STILL OUTLAST THE FADING LIGHT.

ONE MAN MARCH

A man was marching through his mind.
An empty cell to fullfill his time.
Long before he traveled lands.
He blistered truth with burned up hands.
Many miles and waters sailed.
Out for nothing and still he failed.

A man was marching into space.
An endless look expressed his face.
This forced impression along the ride.
Consumed illusions to take his pride.
The need for more to take the fall.
Below the belt and made to crawl.

A man was marching into lead.
He used his guilt to count his greed.
A path was chosen and yet not made.
Where he's going the lights will fade.

A man was marching into fate.
Love will fualter and cease to hate.
This man that marched and never left.
Stood his post to wait for death.
