Day in and day out One day closer Waiting for the next Absent of all Hoping all known is no more Gone the memories The experiences The ones loved Or hated Or indiffered Moving on With You alone Gazing at your creation Contemplating what is given But from afar Absent of this form Or what becomes of us In every time For all eternity O' Great Creator Free me from my ******* Turn me away from these chains Chains bound by my own accord My weakness so present So aware Overwhelming to the core Banish me The desires of many See those lost Reunite with those who've gone before Freedom from pain and suffering But I Covet Solitude In Your Grace and Love Alone No before No after No other Eternally In your presence Free from sin and temptation Knowing they Will Having the courage to Follow Free from choice Indolent covetousness, the discernment of the corrupted.

Coveting the Next
Fight the manic never win thought and process second wind Views oppose resentment high protect thy little girl for nigh King's last stand plot at hand legacy of a broken man Stubborn rival cannot wait aggressive stand will surely break Slide of powr' Rivals rage Clouded judgement Unknown fate Compromise resides in shadows Understanding yonder view Object of thy mutual passion Never faulted, undeterred If only sides not drawn so boldly Diffused Subjection Explicit Projections Sensitivities run wild Old man Set in his ways Young Man Breaking the scale Disdain for the litmus

Demise of their Law
One way The only way In all that I do In all that there is Proper and correct Efficient means abundance or so the narrow thought... My Pride My Will My Way Or No way at all Blind to covetousness Elavate certainties Clearly the only path Forging forward The world steps back Dogged Determination Blind to broken path So certain of alignment Yet the path could not be more crooked All is fleeting All is hurt Selfish ways and hurtful words The fall is here and now I see I never put what's first but me Is tenderness gone? Compassion I deserve not? I seek these gifts of virtue For me from those have nought Gifts so many squandered albeit a temporary time If hope exist and faith persists perhaps we change the mind So now what's next? Quite simple seeing eyes Get out of your way Let go let Grace Take the wheel and drive Give up control Embrace the change Thy new path ever fertile These different fruits Mature and ready For the mind that's still...

Lucent Antagonist
My days are long and lonely For fault is all my own My cloudy eyes and judgement Have broken every tone O willfulness bemoans me Hard headed through and through I’ve thrown it all away for pride And now I long for you If only I foresaw my heart And felt this pain forecast These cloudy days would be no more But sunshine everlast I hang with slightest bit of hope That she may be my grace Deserved surely not at all but mercy is thy race If only I could be my best when she deserved it most My selfish ways and hurtful mode are all I have to boast These words are insufficient If only for myself But hope persist And life reborn When dispensation endowed My heart is fleeting with my seed All that I’ve loved is gone O sacramental faith prevail Be portent willing One I seek your greatest intercession, To make my family one!

De angst voor de Dwaas
In all the days I've come to see the irony fails me not expectations as in life, joy tempered in my sense A few moments early, oh so wise, approach I surely saw From all directions, my eyes were blind, deceived as not before A silhouette of pure enchantment, a look that made me melt, I had the words but not my own, my gift I now have found. A beauty far too fine for me as charlatans do know Yet O' so real and more that which cometh from above My God, my gift, delivered me A grace not known my soul She stole it all with smile divine, this true thief of my heart. My soul she moved, my body quivered at just a simple touch. I know not words, emotions sublime, intrinsic inwardness... My God, My love, delivered me the good thief nonetheless. Conceptions of thy Hope and Spirit were so tenderfoot For I alone could not perceive what He who Is can give. Thy depths of Grace is unbeknownst when lacking in true faith. Learnt knowledge reveals I grow quite slow but o the humanness... We all are blessed with what we need if just unguard thy sense!

Divine Thief
Thou beauty is evident Intelligence divine Heart is pure Yet why so maligned? His presence about you from your youth His love encompassing Yet you've denied and abandoned left wondering where is this divine. Longing for His presence searching in the ways of the world yet He has given you Him through us Why don't you see or feel or long for me as I do? Alone in our togetherness yet I can not turn away your potential too great my need for affirmation unrelenting Is it you I seek or am I the fool? time will tell a discerning heart will never fail O Lord grant unto me a destine heart or the illusions due a belly full of wine Longing for love, hope in my path, aware of my ills, yet ever inspired Expectations are only for the fool who's never lived...
