You can't find relief...
In reasons non existent;
In predicaments ill-explained.

There's no relief.
In trying to peer over towering walls.
With feet on tiptoes,
and necks sorely craned.

Relief isn't found...
In wishing upon droplets
that explode as they meet the ground.
Everytime it thundered,
and then rained.

Relief is in the trove
when the heart lets go.
To acknowledge the error,
to move on...
And commit fully to the lesson gained.

I'm trying my best
To grasp at the fact
Of how long is eternity

To help in my quest
Stay on the right track
Before I take my leave

It's not only for me
That I need to believe
But also those in whom I care

Though we have passed
We never have met
You still are in my prayers

And the prayer that I pray
Is today is the day
That salvation comes to your house

Yes not only you
But your family too
All and more that is allowed

Yet you must do your part
Which is open your heart
Then my friend you will see

The truth the whole truth
As Christ welcomes you
To share in His riches for eternity

But there's the other side
If without Him you die
There is eternal separation

You won't be with the King
Or somewhere in between
But burning in the fire of damnation

There is no worse lot
That I can think of
Hell's fire isn't half as scary

Than when God's had enough
And takes away His love
All else is secondary

And that's why I pray
For lost souls everyday
Since my heart has been open to see

That the rest of your life
Is a very long time
So choose wisely where you spend eternity

I seek pleasure in Allah's blessings,
I reverently engage myself in worshipping Him,
Praying with a remorseful heart-
And scarred soul,

My eyes shed tears of sorrow,
For my sins to be forgiven,
I take the road to faith and hope-
Because I am currently lost in the midst of this world.

In my one pocket
I keep a selection of words
In my other
Different thoughts that accure

At times I'll sit down
Pull them all out
Mixing freely
Random thoughts to my words

Where they seem to go
Together with ease
My words and my thoughts
That in my pockets I keep

from daylight into darkness
year after faltering year
i marvel at the madness
in how i ended up right here

in all my worldly travels
that brought me there about
here is where i ended
finding all this out

when all is said
and all is done
my soul alone has become
a one horse town

i held my hopes up high
tied onto a string
having such a good time
i didn't see it unraveling

trying hard as i might to cope
grabbing at the reigns
can this cowboy saddle up
where i now find that i am

on the edge of the cliff
dreamily looking down
to where my soul has become
this one horse town

out roping and riding
in the chasing of the dream
never really finding
life and its true meaning

once under a clear blue sky
on this my open range
beginning to rue the day
i turned and rode away

as the dust trail followed me
to the edge of my horizon
where my soul now sits alone
a one horse town

Paper...check
Pen...check
Have I forgotten anything
Oh yea, that little item I refer to as a brain

So I guess I best unpack this mess
From inside my cranium
Take it out and dust it off
If this job is to get done

If I could only find where I put that rhyme
Was it in pile right or in pile left
Maybe it slipped out of my head
While I slept tight last night in my bed

As I make my way from the start of this day
One thing I'm sure I'll find
Insanity I think for me will be good company
On this here poetic ride
