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.

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

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...

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!

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!

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...
