of wolves through their own pores,
Those who've heard the whispering
of hell behind closed doors.
Those who've tried their mettle
with a blacksmith's blows,
Those who've climbed a thorny trellis
just to find a single rose...

You may have to climb a mountain
10,000 feet tall
And even then the haters hate
and make you feel small
You may have to dig six feet
to find comfort at all...

But there's a solid surface
beneath the muck & mire,
There's a conflagration...
Yes! There is a fire!
Though all seems hopeless
Though it all seems dire
If you ache, it's yours to take
should you so desire...

Though it all seems worthless
a crust of filthy dross
He'll take your hand
You'll understand

The way of the Cross

The life of a Believer in the Lord Jesus Christ is never easy. It is often despised. But joy comes through the mourning...

Got to sleep now. See you tomorrow  <3
Truth conspires to unravel my careful planting
of my garden of deception
every blossom screams your name,
every stone trips a hazard in your honor
the brooke whispers your name incessantly
your truth dances on the edges of my lips,
so desperately close to leaping into the world as an earth shattering revelation!
no thorns or barbs dare grow,
the sunlight streams though illuminating your presence
there is no hiding from you
I crave to sing the song of truth in my heart
dance the deepest confessions to light
cut down every twisted vine tangled up in my web of lies
I crave, I pine, I anguish
yet I tarry,
frozen in time the shell only recognizes obligation
thankful for your warmth
I move on and tend the garden
as if you never existed
cockle shells in a row,
only they know.
My mom won't be happy
When she sees my white dress ******
Nothing was more beautiful than
his tears dropping down from his eyes
When he heared
I was about to die
Nothing was more beautiful than
The drops of the blood on the ground
Me bleeding in his hands
He screaming at my face
Breathe ! Now !
Even more beautiful than
the rainbow out of the window
Laughing like
it was kidding all my people around
it was too beautiful to happen
I open my eyes
A knife in my hand
Wearing my favorite white dress
A song prowling in my mouth
I came back to where I started
My mom won't be happy
When she sees my white dress blooded
this is the first poem that i wrote and shared.. 24 weeks ago ... hope you'll like it
this seems to be my decade
for moving in and out of dreams
more so than any other time in my life
a sweet spot, doors opened up
the gates of the night flung wide
vivid persistent long lasting
every sleep time dreaming
fully awake subconscious fantastical
plots played out each night.
Your eyes speaks much sorrow.
Your smile hides a deep sadness.
You act so normal like nothing is wrong.
How do you keep up with this harsh world?
How do you keep up to society with that melancholy behind your back?
How do you keep your temper calm?
How can you keep your focus intact?
How did you keep up with work?
All of your work seems on the right track,
like you keep things just right.

Would you share you secrets to us?

Mankind learned to run and hide
and has been running and hiding ever since.
That first time in the garden
when nakedness made shame a reality
the knowledge we ingested from the serpent.
whether sweet or salty
it is the mother of life

no matter whether you are
    Darwinist or Creationist
water as a source of our existence
    you cannot deny

so, what do we do
with this essential gift of nature
except drink it and float on it?

we waste it, pollute it,
in general,
we simply don’t appreciate it

at least those of us
who live in the comfort zones
     of regular rainfall
     advanced sanitary installations
     and drinkable tap water

millions of others
depend on their lives
for water from the sky
    or from the sea

re-appreciating water
taking care of it
may save the lives
of our children

they are our future
the distance
between obsession and obligation
can be amazingly
short
