Fortnight
Parted lips a waking cry
a valley of death my hearts desire
I look inward an oasis I see
a isle of distraction
a dark cloud obstructing thee
I wait in the darkness
forgetting the light
no pain or misery
bliss confused by delight
awkward is my unveled misery
stumbling over light
proceeding down the pew seats
drunkard man blind and new
I make my way past the vestibule
stiff as oak with speech like mice
truth a welcome hangover
lasting longer than two times a fortnight
slowly gaining my stillness
going nowhere
just light
blessed
blessed
blessed....
light.

(This is a hymn I wrote)
Jesus our mast of mercy
Blessed risen you bring me to your height
Seated triumphant with septor crown on my heart
Oh victorious champion brimming with delight
You bring children gladness
Your kingdom aressts all this worlds night
In your presence my knees fail to provide tension
I lay prostrate a servants delight
O maker of the universe please give me sight
hold me forever like a son
never again alone your beauty is warm light.
Grace is what I was given
making your wrath a Gardner
forgiveness abounds like day follows night

And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year:
"Give me a light, that I may tread safely into the unknown!"
And he replied:
"Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God.
That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way."
This poem was quoted by King George 6th
Christmas 1939

I want to be
far away from me
a chimney top
candy mountain top
Inside of me
its not a possibility
for Im the reason
for my own calamity
falsetto ring
I won't win
I'm a broken man
my pride in hand
I wish I could be
on that rainbow
walking to someplace else
away..
away from here
But perhaps
Ill hold out my hand
grab a rope balloon ride hope
and go over the treetops
cliffs trains and local trucker stops
outlasting a bitter moment
Impossible bends.... don't it?

I have decided to follow
at this point
this juncture in a fold of time
Id like to pause
with an architectured rhyme
something to invest
in a crevice of your mind
a word of endurement
a plea from my mind
a heartfelt cry
a savior will answer me
one who endured the loss
and flung himself onto eternity
so I a soldier on
a combatant in arms
duely serve his army
smoking gun and sore arms
I salute and serve with boldness
smoke and blood in my eye
Ill endure patiently and march from here
for a soldier embraces his calm
no turning back
no going home
Ill embrace my pity
wait for the great beyond
One day Ill take that lilly covered fairy.......
my window folded flag in arms
5.18.2011
Love respect you
It doesnt matter
who you are
I love you
I respect you
dont even matter
how you talk
Ill still hug you
when were both old and dusty
Or if our friendship expires
Ill recollect you
remembering all our good times
the times we sat and drank wine
Im pressed to say
you're wierdness is my sunny day
the oddness of us
never one way
I enjoy you still
my opposing thought
a verbal rush
whatever you are
whoever you are
I love you
I respect you
I love you..
I respect you...
love respect you...
Freaks
the one cast out
feared and on whom
normals cast doubt
I call you my freaks
there is no need to be discreet
the one who were maid lain
those laughed at
scorned
shamed
there is a coolness
to who you are
dont run
be shamed
pull your hair
for the lame will be a remnant
a sripe of pride
will bond us clear

Frist rule of flying
sky sky
poderosa in the sky
I see moon beams
I see lakes
it's a rodeo sized cosmological feast
for each eye
In it I see you
a different expression each time
I look up and look up
and get some cloud in my eye
I pray
that this time tomorrow
the grey turns a silver line
Then Ill blast off into tomorrow
no more red dawn in my eye

Dark Knight
When you wake up
look at him
before you go to bed
look at him
when your at work
look at him
when youre about to faint
when all hope looks dim...
look at him
when you fail
look at him
when youve purposefully done wrong
look at him
when you couldve done better
look at him
when you cant forgive
look at him
when you have lost your ability to trust
look at him
when you have no options and you are at the end of your rope
guess what?
look at him
when you cant love anymore
gaze at him
when you need
look at him
there are many roads in life
we all fall down
we all fail
we all need a friend
we alll need a savior
so I say to you
look at him with all your heart
and let your eyes say Jesus Christ...

I'm not a Hero
although hope seems failed
retart and taken flight
combating your inner legion
darkness enveloping like night
I say to you dont just parry
stubbornly hold on
cling even with all your might
you see it's hope that must be defeated
its the sliver that makes up an abundance of light
they it circumstance cannot defeat it
no matter how hobbit sized the flickr
no matter the winds speed of flight
so i boldly say to you dont weary
dont let that take out your light
cling to it as if it's your only purpose
for darkness cannot defeat light
although hope seems failed
retart and taken flight
combating your inner legion
darkness enveloping like night
I say to you dont just parry

ζῆν Χριστὸς καὶ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν κέρδος.
zēn christos kai apothanein kerdos
I look down at my hands
these are not my own
I continue to try to scope with my weak eyes
these are not my eyes
I rise and my bones ache aches joints and I shake
these are not mine I said these are not mine
I wake up in the morning and feel the sunlight on my face
the beating my heart does as it feels love approach like invisible mist
there it says there he holds our destiny there
almost ejecting itself from my body my heart pounds
hold fast I say and can hardly contain
for what can I do to hold back such a strong longing
I feared my death was appraoching
faster my heart did beat as the sun did shine
mine it said mine mine all mine
the glory and destruction of this temple
break me down and build me up it babbled
for what could I do but long for it too
if my heart did take me then like the wind
I too would blew
but I did not go this day
for one thing alone made me stay
my heart decided to delay
and this one thing did it say:
to live Christ and to die gain
I guess it was a toss up
to die another day

me and my fiance. She still makes my heart beat faster.
What and she in like
like water
in the dry parts of my soul
like sweetness
insert all goodness
inside and out soft and perfect
chewy yet refined
never demanding
patient loving and kind
a triple threat
so easy ill never have to
word play
Ill just say what she is
then rewind and stare
like a silent still moment
in the wind
nothing but truth between us
no lies
what we see is what you get
felt it
flawed yet flawless
persistent yet not wreckless
everything yet still filling it
beginning yet beginning
this is the start of bliss
my love for her
..countless.

Here is the song - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJuxESbF_GA
when you look at me
is that all you see
a quiet still figure
that cant keep you company
when you look for me
what do you see
did you notice
my arms
reaching and
watching thee
I truly
truly do
love thee

Headnoise - Peace lyrics
(These are lyrics to the song "peace" by Headnoise)
glory to God in the highest
and on earth good will toward men
the angel shouted the prince of peace is here
the prophets words are fulfilled
the messiah has come
the spirit of the sovereign lord is with us
preaching good news to the poor
binding up the broken hearted
proclaiming freedom to the captives and
release from darkness the prisoners
2000 years later firebombs and teargas in ancient Bethlehem
the world in distress by the bad blood of ethnic hate and war
millions are plagued by unprecedented suffering and despair
nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom
there will be famine and earthquakes in various places
all this is the beginning of birth pains
America a society of chaos
feelings of tension in our streets hostile confrontations
bigger crowds lashing out in protest on one issue after another
our generation - - - hellish divorce court turning friends into enemies
ripping families apart deeper they run
adult and children talk about dark years of family abuse and hatred
distraught mother kills her baby
the villain boyfriend is blamed
the machine of nihilism has destroyed the idea
that there is truth leaving the youth disillusioned and angry
this is the backdrop of the stage of a million wrongful things on earth
a world of the blind leading the blind in the dark
Christ warned us of the coming wars and the rumors of war
in conflict still he promises peace for all who believe in him
listen closely "peace I leave with you. my peace I give you not as the world gives do I give you.
do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid"
the world in all its efforts cannot give lasting peace to you
it only has lies and pain and germane history to heed
lonely and cold each year adding to the sorrow in our lives we reach for anything but God
to fill our emptiness
still denying ourselves that we can cope with real LOVE JOY AND PEACE
Jesus Christ comes with rest for our weary soul if only we trust in him
anything else we try is futile and empty
listen closely "peace I leave with you my peace I give you not as the world gives do I give.
do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid"
remember war and hate is rooted in the human heart
for years we have tried to obtain but still we fight and covet
like an unplugged chord dangling in the abyss
our lifeline to god
our soul hangs lifelessly severed and separated by our pride and unwillingness
to believe we can be loved, forgiven, and held by God himself
the nations will collide around you your world may crash
but if you trust and believe in Jesus Christ to save you
then you will have true peace in your soul
as for you you were dead in your transgressions and sins
in which you used to live when you followed the ways of the world
but because of his great love for us God who is rich in mercy
made us alive with Christ
It is by grace you have been saved

What. that. If?
If god is love
what are we getting away with when we hate?
If Jesus is charity
then what money have we saved when we dont help
that beggar on the street
If God is Justice
then how safe are we when we don't speak in place the oppressed
not caring for those who dont have enough to eat
If Jesus is love
If Jesus is love...
If God is our father
then what great life have you gained by ignoring or leaving your kids?
If the good Lord is hope
then what could possibly be encouraging about one more Gossip like word?
If Jesus is community
then why leave out the weakest among you because he cant afford or is in need?
If Jesus is wealth
then is not living sacrificially gain?
We move away when we think we're moving toward
we push away and walk comfortably on a bed of thorns
we make Christ in our own image
all the while the cross is scorned..

Silence
is all I hear
fine
forces will still bear
mistakes I've made
will dig me a grave
its your soul I see
want to bath in it
make no mistake
not love grandeur
ill do anything
to make us right
I'll fight dragons
or lasso the night
its your smile I covet
the curly grin of your hair
I never want anything but
love in your stare
I long to feel
your hot breath on my lash
perfect eyes and lips
back right leg and face
when my heart pumps blood
into your ventricle its us I can taste
I know you're mine
right now I feel your hands chilling down my spine
you're a goosebump
doctor says I dont have much time
for these won't just sit and wait
they will infect your mind
making it give up the race
doc says:
make peace with your
dear and fluffy lord
because this will take life's taste
say goodbye cruel world
call mom and tell her to prepare the wake
for this ol' gal
won't settle for anything but a
coffin
tea biscuits
and your head on a plate
its the bump o' death
and the two of you aren't at a stalemate
you'll lose son
and your life she'll take
so now I know
without
not an option
on one knee
for YOUR mind
heart
and life I take
with
i'll NEVER settle for without
complete set with rib to boot
together with you
what a grand design we make.

lover?
So I'm wondering
wondering and
wondering about you
Do you laugh cry spit bark or even care
about anything I do
I love
but is that something you even know how to do?
you I love you.
care I wonder
do I why do I care about you
so much to give up
why do this or even go through
through with it do it complete
the thing we set out to do
or maybe it was just me
maybe perhaps it was all a ship of my making
and you the apathetic passenger
on a free ride or so you think
and when your small brain awakes
kerplunk.
we sink.

flight
no where
I'll no longer stay here
drink a flask of air
im outta here
up up
up in the air
flight im taking
tired of my farina spinkled with despair
this poppy seed bagel
morning air
sunshine
and the good Lord's air I trust
everyday
with pushups a must
everyday
with laughter
hold the fuss
I ride I sail
I king I try
I motion I rock
I steer with rudder
I love I believe
I try despite pain
the cure aaron said
it's in that pain
you blues traveler
you midnight red-eye
packer
take flight
no more fear for you
one eyed willy
purposeful pirate
...yo ho me hearty
yo ho...

truthless heroes
forget
the thought of my hand let

fading way
no longer participating in a strut
this painful dance will continue
dont let the nothing save your soul
not hollow
forever
not

I will be remade
on the day named again
I'll survive
come tommorow
..if that day comes
ill get up
n' be born gain'
