American Poetry is a wonderful things and I wish I could tie the emotion that I can't fit into words with each poem. So please comment for better or worse so that I may learn to do so
God, Sin, Love, Evil. The four aspects of my life. I shall put my evil deeds in the past while bearing my sins with this left arm. I will always turn my face to the Lord and follow while fighting for what I love with this right arm.

Occasionally a fire dims Ever lower and lower until it is a speck A speck in the darkness Destined to fade from this world Already facing the end it weeps Tears of isolation That dampen its soul Cold and alone Wanting of nothing Ready to face and embrace darkness When a candle comes to its side It gives the little speck light Without fear of consequence A part of itself begins to grow in the tiny flame It grows and grows until it is a burning star in the sky Even the sun becomes envious All it took to create this beautiful light Was the acknowledgment of another To realize it had a friend in the dark For without the light of friendship Every soul would fade Go forth and rid this world of darkness Do not turn aside from a failing light Run to its side Bring it into your arms Protect it with your hands Nurture it with your love Guide it with your mind Watch it grow with your eyes Watch it grow until you can no longer look And it shines in the sky for all to see So one day when your light begins to fade The star will come back to you To help you rise once again Or to be with you until the very end An end where you look around And see all the lights of love So that you can feel their warmth To let you know that you are with friends Friends who will shed tears at your end Not tears of sadness Tears of joy For the wonderful light you were That saved them from the darkness The light that will live on in them Ready to give to the weak No light is to small to save To dark to lighten Not as long as there is a candle in the dark To become apart of your own flame And guide this world into a beautiful tomorrow A tomorrow where fires burn bright Dreams come true And souls are at peace

Fire of Souls
Occasionally a fire dims Ever lower and lower until it is a speck A speck in the darkness Destined to fade from this world Already facing the end it weeps Tears of isolation That dampen its soul Cold and alone Wanting of nothing Ready to face and embrace darkness When a candle comes to its side It gives the little speck light Without fear of consequence A part of itself begins to grow in the tiny flame It grows and grows until it is a burning star in the sky Even the sun becomes envious All it took to create this beautiful light Was the acknowledgment of another To realize it had a friend in the dark For without the light of friendship Every soul would fade Go forth and rid this world of darkness Do not turn aside from a failing light Run to its side Bring it into your arms Protect it with your hands Nurture it with your love Guide it with your mind Watch it grow with your eyes Watch it grow until you can no longer look And it shines in the sky for all to see So one day when your light begins to fade The star will come back to you To help you rise once again Or to be with you until the very end An end where you look around And see all the lights of love So that you can feel their warmth To let you know that you are with friends Friends who will shed tears at your end Not tears of sadness Tears of joy For the wonderful light you were That saved them from the darkness The light that will live on in them Ready to give to the weak No light is to small to save To dark to lighten Not as long as there is a candle in the dark To become apart of your own flame And guide this world into a beautiful tomorrow A tomorrow where fires burn bright Dreams come true And souls are at peace

The magic of religion brings hope to many a man it is what guides us without it we are lost with no plan It is the light clearing darkness bringing sight to the blind leading us toward the right path bringing joy for us to find Yet through all of these miracles there is no peace different beliefs bring war martyrs die on the daily people end, moving no more We must move past hatred the truth behind religion is not anger the meaning behind religion is not war It is faith It is peace

Peace
Women are wonderful things, they give men a light. But no matter what she brings, you will always have a fight. Women are the holy chalice, they keep man moving forward. But beware of their malice, for you will have no reward. Women have a scorn of thunder, do not treat them wrongly. They forgive many a blunder, for they have feelings strongly. Women are many things, they put man in the dark. Queens of our beings, keepers of our heart.

Chalice
Hear me my God, my Father, my Lord. My heart if filled with dark and dread. I'm afraid I wish to just be dead. Despair holds me with a force. I'm afraid I'm not on course. Guide my heart, guide my soul. I will pay any toll. Bring me back to my right of mind. So that I will be forever kind. Thank you my Lord, my Father, my God.

Just A Prayer
There is a demon in every soul Every day it continues to grow Please do not give in to it For it has a heavy toll It picks away at your mind You can't fathom the pain It tears, cuts, and carves Soon the light you can't find From it you try to hide By day you have friends By night you have a glass **** it will not step aside You try to pray God does not answer The devils' grip tightens You only look for the end of the day I'm trying to find the light My shoulders are sore from sin The demon is laughing I am losing my fight

Inner Demons
I feel a shadow over my head it makes my body feel of lead. Every day it gets worse still it has total control of my will. Dark things are put in my head they make it hard to get out of bed. Soon I feel I will give in then the shadow will finally win. Today there is no one around but I hear a cutting sound. On the floor my body is laid In my hand a ****** blade. This shadow is in control the essence of my life it has stole. I watch as my blood begins to settle and I can't look away form the cold metal. With effort to the mirror I go up only one glance makes me throw up. Now I am afraid to be alone every time the cut is deeper to the bone. My loved ones don't see it at all only one knows of my fall. A person who my life and heart I trust which I feel much more than lust. This shadow over me please do not let it be. I think I know who it does resemble but the thought makes me tremble. It is a person who this pain brought for this person owns my feelings and thought. It is the person who I never wish to go my beautiful and amazing Angelico.

Shadow
Love is mans weapon of choice Love for country Love for religion Love for self Love for others Without love there would be peace on Earth Without love there would be no man on Earth Love is what drives us, but also stops us Love is what creates us, but also ends us Love comes in many ways But in the end you are left with two choices: You will either create life or end it Pick your poison

Life's Poison
You said that he wasn't better than me. He was different and that was what you needed....... He doesn't Imagine happiness. He doesn't gouge out his own skin. He doesn't overflow with self-pity. He doesn't dream of having no memory. He doesn't Avoid mirrors. He doesn't Miss what it's like to smile. He doesn't hurt himself with knives. He doesn't envision life where he doesn't exist He doesn't lie to everyone around him. He doesn't pray to have no memory. He doesn't Scream on the inside when he sees you. He doesn't Openly hurt what he loves most. He doesn't Regret almost everything that he has ever done. He doesn't Realize that he is a terrible person. He doesn't Yell into the darkness. He doesn't meet a counselor every week. He doesn't end his day by crying himself to sleep at night. ......... You were right he is different. And that makes him **** better than me.
