We cross our hearts and hope to die,
We cross our fingers and tell no lies,
No stories,
No wise tales,
We prosper and prevail,
We proceed to serve society,
Abide by our parents,
Obey the school rules,
The way it intended,
Its apparent,
We love fantasies,
And we love dreams,
We adore peaches and cream,
And we like bird and bees,
As long as they buzz,
You can have a husband,
And get married living with his cousin,
You can be a doctor or maybe a lawyer,
You tell a nickel from dime and a quarter,
You can be a rockstar traveling the world,
You can inspire every little boy and girl,
You can make a living,
You can do whatever you wanna do,
As long as you be an angel,
And be you.

What is it, that really stops you,
from inviting Christ into your heart?
Are you afraid of the responsibilities
or opportunities that can be imparted?

Have you taken quality time to thank God,
for the many blessings you’ve received?
How do you describe your current lifestyle-
living victoriously or partially relieved?

Where are you placing your trust each day?
Do you posses false hope in World systems,
or Hope in the principles of The Holy Word?
Where are you searching for the valuable gems

that will sustain your entire, life journey?
Are you energized with a real, Christian verve
that motivates your ongoing actions of Faith,
from knowing The Lord, Whom you daily serve?

Before it’s too late, open your heart to Him.
Take personal stock, look back and thank Him.
Open your eyes, look around and serve Him.
Look ahead via His Spirit and trust… in Him.

Time can be squandered, endured,
or enjoyed;
on your side, it is friend,
running out, a foe.

It's all we have to make life
worth living;
more can't be given,
but it's well spent in giving.

Idle hands:
Idol hands.
One the same,
Not sure again.
Sit on the fence,
Yet who owns the yard?
The power of that prince
You disregard.
You forget the One
Who called you here;
Now to decide,
The choice is near,
For He said "hate your
Parents, sister, brother"
So if you don't serve one,
You serve the other.

Crucifix Feb 2015
Heroes watched with empty eyes all thoughts they would leave behind. Are these answers or more questions? Angels leave with the chosen. Is even their system broken? why only I have awoken?
Who else is stranded down there?
****** broken secrets they share. Why am I feeling this isn't something I believe in?
Why should god judge a fish? Was it his wish that they could climb? Or perhaps learn how to fly?

Questions of death swirl around me.
Is she in hell?  Is that where ill be? I bear the name of crucifix. But hell and heaven do not mix.
Is this one of gods tricks?
ill take the weight of her sins if this is what it takes to win. Ill serve my code.
You can't keep her hostage from me. If she is not dancing free when I see the gates, ill tear em down with all of my hate. hell will not be her fate.
I love the lord but is it fair, the cross we all must bare?
I love god true. Please let me believe in you.
I know this sounds arrogant and preachy (I hope I'm not out of line) but as someone who has always had a problem blindly following god (even though I consider myself a Christian) I can't help myself from fearing and asking questions. :/
O my love
Look into my eyes; what do you see?
I see only us in our eyes
There is no boundary to keep us constrained
We are eternally free
We are free birds and we serve only the heavens
As I listen to you and you listen to my beats
Our voices echo across the oceans
For eons to come, such passion will be remembered
So is our love, my sweetheart

This love
You have seen within yourself
You have felt its power
You have dreamed of the future
You have written secret songs
and
Prayers

May I rest in your calmness
                                       Bathe in your peace
Replenish in your happiness
               Find home through your gateway

          Find ME

                     In the stillness

Breathe in

          Gratitude

                 And
  
                       Exhale
  
                                 Joy

Something stands before me,
Obstructing my strides.
It stares with pain.
I can see it in it's eyes.

The irises of red,
Boil with lust.
I wield my blade.
Ready to for war.

I walk within the shadows,
Serving those who are Just.
"Remove yourself."
Or I will destroy thy soul.

Anger's Inferno,
Charges full fury.
I close the distance,
Facing reality.

Black out,
Blood stains.
This kid falls.
Weakened by my blade.

"I don't ****,
I only wish to serve."

"Die now in vain."
Your crimes have been purged.

You took everything I knew.
Defeated my purpose to live.

I am renewed,
I will not bow to your will.

— The End —
