Contemporary Poem, the Road To Somewhere

I have found the light and happy I am
Its the Lamb I trust
It must be all the forgotten lust
I have to take to the heavens
Been writing poetry since I was eleven
Been working on selflessness and being pure
Worried about the future as we his Exodus
This is my life it has no price
I am on the road see through God anything is possible
No relapse to the old me, But I have to admit
Its hard watching everyone else fall to hell's bells
while I am in the book of Life because I've already been scared straight
I wont take the bait
To hate its like being locked in a crate
God always gives me a clean slate
Not to be irate but I am always up late awake
saying a prayer for my little brother 
Cracking the safe code to his little heart
All of us are screaming glory to the universe
While the devils rain cloud trembles with sweat
I wont let him get to me God says I am free
Just call me a solder of the cross
Gods the boss and he says I can do this.

Rain Drops

Rain drops
Falling as she cries
There's almost no use
Biting like a recluse
So quick to misuse
The workings of my inner mind
Looking, as if there is something to find
All we have is time
She ran away like a heretic
Windows open as god looks in
Cant go back to relapse
Trapped in my own prison
Trying to find a way out
Struggle is the fight
The goal is to never look back
I want to live
Instead of wasting away
As the clouds turn grey
Here I lay
Just me and my prayers
Jesus is the relater
Perfection takes time
Until then i'm not left blind
Its one day at a time
One foot in front of the other
Were all brothers and sisters
We all want to paint that perfect picture
The most potent mixture
Seeking texture
Manifesting over light
No matter how bright

Kneel To the Cross

Kneel at the cross
Eyes shaded from a tear
Sons and Daughters tossed
Lurking fear over famine
End times lost within doubted frost
Burned clovers from due time
Only select find the lost light
Un phased say all is fine
Count the clock for raptures sight
Bowing my heated head searching for an answer
All is coming from the one driven under
When the time comes, Golden roads await
While the unselected receive no pity
Anarchy reins over all city's
Black skies await on the next high
But sobering heat blocks the furnace
Scurry now, Gods wrath is never exhausted
Focus on the negative
Focus on the positive
All that's ever asked is why?
Liars and wires don't connect
There gambling, place your bet, roll the dice
Don't think twice
It all ends the same
Light or Dark
Pick.
Amen

Crash

Look, The proof is in the Bible
That must make me a disciple
Anyone who is against Christ lies
And I cannot deny Ive been down that road
But all we ever get is a sigh
People calling us "Bible bashers"
While the devil is in the trash
Teens thrash and OD on pills
No I don't live in the holly wood hills
No I don't get paid big bills
God only accepts wills
Not massive kills and murder
But why is there no order in the real world?
Because in Church it hurts deep inside
It hurts because outsiders are not more alert
Its a curse and it only gets worse
People die because of there choices
and all we can do is cry and wonder why
Its the meth that makes people crazy
the heroin that has no hero
people waste there life to zero
and here I am being called the weirdo
I'm trying to help not make them give up
the moral is this
Live and let learn
Just don't be surprised when you get burned.

Polar

problems are many
but with the pen my problems are semi
living life one page at a time
trying to stay in a straight line
consider me after you know my problems
with God I’m stronger, and my mind softens
he makes me not a monster
helping me to be somewhat smarter
was south bound straight to a dark place
was going north erasing my mind staying in space
counting the pain in chronological order
defining my bipolar disorder
flip a switch and I see red 
unrational fears in my head
pouring my soul to a higher power
time after time my prayers got louder
sometimes crying in mental pain
but my reasons are not in vain
never really showing emotion
because inside I know something is broken
but not all is lost
man if it was not for god my life would be tossed
realization is the key to empowerment 
and empowerment is the key to betterment
until I’m gone and over
I remain a soldier 
Polar.

Love Is Lost

Love is found
Love is lost
Interrupted by a lonely vibrant sound
Heaven in my home inbound
Songbirds gone in the mist
Left only with a kiss
The opportunity missed
The colors form into black and white
But Jesus tells me i'm alright
The lonesome twist that turned
Christ is my only escape
Pasted pain with hurt and denial
But I think ill stay a while
Maybe this poem will reach you
A cold heart in this dark place
The engraved can never be erased
Jesus help me win this race
I need you in my heart just in case
She's gone in the wind
To a place no one can defend
It feels like the beginning of the end
The love was lended
We were tempted
Feels like I was rented
Bent up by forbidden fruit
The road to nowhere
21 inches from relapse
The sweet songbird tortures me
Singing the song of lust
Cant turn down that road again
Its time to end the beginning
Rising tides of selfish doubt
Bottles of messages cast to sea
How much better can I be?
Wheres my perfect picture?
Wheres my elixir?
Its all coming in due time
Jesus tell me i'm fine.

Smoke

Smoke, filling the air I breathe
Trying to hold back these conceiving thoughts
Stirring up commotion
Swaying my concentration
Who wants to live like this?
Tempting like a kiss
Unable to dismiss
Craving it you begin the ritual
Trying to reach nirvana
We try again and again
Coughing, Wheezing
Is this what we wanted?
It may be cool
But you being played for a fool
Its a tool
Meant for destruction
Employing our own weakness

Serenity

Serenity, fluctuates as I pray
Energy, calming as I lay
Temptation, follows the rising tide
Help me god, for I want to hide

Simple moods sway the ocean
Hurry, I seek refuge by the commotion
Ironic, the seamless growing of my heart
Remembering the ideas of her torn apart
Empathy sharing from my dying power
Yellow, the sunflower blossoms with each watering every hour

God Is Almighty

God is almighty, Why am I shy?
Is it because I refuse to get high?
used to pretend and lie with the devil
Until he tricked and mixed me up
I yell at him to shut up
He tells me to give up
Used to with I would just die
Constantly asking why
I'm high on Gods love
He never pushed or shoved
The devil never loved me
He only wanted to consume
I'm in tune with my heavenly dreams
Used to sit in the corner and scream
It was my own impending doom and suffering
The devil was inside my room
But now i'm refreshed by the loom
Repressing thoughts 24 hours around the clock
God yanked me out of the shock
Skitzo the voices tell me lies
Got to the point where I would rock
Feeling like I was going to rot
Ive said a lot but it has a message
Gods soul stares into my eyes
Now I cannot deny its my time to fly
and the devil is nothing more than a lie

Midnight

Midnight dusk
Fallen backdrops
Moonlit pastures of God's creations
Menacing accusations
Losing preparation
Blissful sedation
Waning thoughts of the pain
With nothing to gain
Reeling complication 
By fields of slain lamb
Looking so coy
Nothing to enjoy
Shattered memories of my first
Nothing short of being cursed
Jesus tells me to wait
As i'm thinking its too late
Patience is his vibe
As my heart drives
Looking down as I go
With nothing to show
But he makes my body glow
He makes my rhymes flow
Getting better as I go
Down this desert road
As the tadpoles float to the top
My skin begins to drop
As I gaze into her eyes
I turn to my maker in the sky
She told a lie
She made me cry
Left broken and alone
God's path was shown
As the seconds pass i'm growing
Shes gone but He's still there
I remember to cherish every moment
For only God can condone it.
