Nathaniel
On the roof of God's temple laid a woman
**** in mind but clothed in linen
Her comfort found eyes hidden
How was he, a man, to ignore her glisten

Her pale face exaggerated her rosy feature
And her green eyes glowed to the seeker
The river of silk black hair could flow in nature
And even her lying brows could caress a believer

She rose from her slumber in choreography
Facing her follower and fulfilling the prophecy
Then turned and rose her arms as if God's own prodigy
And exposed her bare back in homily

God's hands bleed after the creation of this deity
His chisel had left her beauty drowned in divinity
The poet's own mind starved of gaiety
When he saw her bear skin glistened of loyalty

Heaven's gates open in beat with my eye lids
As we stumble in sweet confusion
We can taste the air as an ostrich wine
And the only sounds are angelic choirs joined in mirth
The walls are painted scenes blessed in eternal movement
With God himself scribing the tales
Telling stories of triumph merged in harmony
And penmanship worthier than any poet

Men docilely behold grace itself on the walls of heaven
Ever worthy of the eyes of mankind
Of those who stole a glance turn to gold
And immortals join in ritual

The sense of sight, light, is portrayed as holy crystals
Incandescent stalagmites create divine paths for righteous to follow
While those lost in damnation are lead to eternally fall
As the path lingers the walls inspire a revelation in ones heart
Blessing all who listen, with God's word

Everything stopped
and went dark
there was no suffering
there was no spark

the feeling of confusion
granted me still
the endless fall gifted me
for it did not ****

the pain was unread
as my own rhyme
before there was chaos
now there is time

How relief conquered curiosity?
Its better to not question
when given such a gift
dont give a suggestion

Simply numb to the fear inside me
No hands to hold beside thee
Desperate for hope
Destined for the rope
that currently hangs reality

I have not felt ground in so long
As the air sings a sad song
That never ends
That ever extends
God make my wings so strong

Descending and pretending
I’m flying
when I’m falling
no memories
no remedies
I’m crying
Fear in it’s greatest hour
I cower
As I fall
As I scrawl
Oh how the poet turned sour
