"redeeming" poems
Creeping voices in the night Shadows lurking out of sight Haunt me till the morning's light No sleeping for me tonight Looking at my bedroom door My feet barely touch the floor Something whispers down my core Something that I can't ignore Melted candles in my hand Things I would not understand My hope slips away like sand This was not what I had planned Slowly walking down the stairs Feel a breeze sweep through my hair Shadows lurk; in silence stare Naked thoughts are all I wear Out of breath I walk outside Shaking fear that builds inside No more places left to hide Guilty thoughts of mine collide Drenched in coward's blood and fear I lost those who I held dear It's all blurred, nothing is clear Shadows from my past appear As the silence speaks to me Gets too loud it deafens me My past will not leave me be Pain and torment I foresee Dazed and drawn by these lost souls Broken thoughts I can't control Ghosts slip through this gaping hole Darkness has taken its toll From the darkness dreams come out Nightmares flailing all about Closing in, I hear them shout It's the end, I have no doubt "What the hell is it you want?" They retreat and me they taunt One emerges, tall and gaunt "Your life we will no more haunt." "You have paid for your wrongdoing," He tells me, his voice booming "This is now your redeeming You are free." he says smiling I look at the rising sun I no longer have to run My sentence is served and done The ghosts have finally gone.

Wake
Witches are eating the toes of a troll with a spoon, boiling blood in a cauldron, and chanting mischievous lyrics in the silver moon. Feel their devilish ways cursing life, casting ugly spells and cackling at tormented suffrage and strife. Watch in horror while witches dance, stripping away sanity by carrying off hope with no redeeming chance. **** this nightmare caused by witches, hypnotizing minds by changing their appearances. Hunting desperate men for affection, seducing the weak to coerce their love like a **** infection.

There is something redeeming about the darkness Most people fear it though Is it because they are afraid of what they can't see? Or because they are afraid of what they might see? Life is like the darkness Often scary Always redeeming.

Darkness
My heart is a cave, a home... For animals who live in shadows, my pathos, which once shined upon, removes all doubt, glowing as a ghost-white sun. Remove this light of your love, and these shadows crawl back into their hole, the caverns within the cave of my heart, where there lives my long lost soul. If you continue with the light, that emits from your charitable love, you can hold my hand through this fight. Lead me through this maze, into resurrection, implode my heart, devouring itself. Yet I am reborn from the ashes of my past, like a phoenix in the sky, with you as my guide, I fly with my wings spread vast, a redeeming cry, and you by my side. And nothing could be better.

Redemption
The storms are pounding Destruction is rampant No end seems in sight. The day is endless The night never ending Will it ever, ever be right? Lightning crashes Winds are swirling Torrents of water fall down. The earth is shaking The shelter is breaking Thunderous sound resound. Above the storm the Calm prevails Overlooking the turmoil below. Awaiting the return of order again That Peace and Calm bestow. Then it is over... No more pounding Silence, beautiful silence Comes whispering in the ears. The Earth becomes firm The Sun is still shining It dries up all the tears. Through the debris New hopes arise Covering the scars below. Growing stronger, stronger As strength rebounds Renewed by the seeds we sow. Repairing the damage Replacing the lost Moving forward with or without. Finding Hope in the future as Faith reaches upward Redeeming Love without a doubt. -------------------------------- When the storms of life Cause turmoil and strife, The Son dries all my tears. When all seemed lost I counted the cost Turned over all my fears. I am surviving. I am stronger still.

Above The Storms
A Rock there is whose homely front The passing traveller slights; Yet there the glow-worms hang their lamps, Like stars, at various heights; And one coy Primrose to that Rock The vernal breeze invites. What hideous warfare hath been waged, What kingdoms overthrown, Since first I spied that Primrose-tuft And marked it for my own; A lasting link in Nature’s chain From highest heaven let down! The flowers, still faithful to the stems, Their fellowship renew; The stems are faithful to the root, That worketh out of view; And to the rock the root adheres In every fibre true. Close clings to earth the living rock, Though threatening still to fall: The earth is constant to her sphere; And God upholds them all: So blooms this lonely Plant, nor dreads Her annual funeral. * * * * * * Here closed the meditative strain; But air breathed soft that day, The hoary mountain-heights were cheered, The sunny vale looked gay; And to the Primrose of the Rock I gave this after-lay. I sang-Let myriads of bright flowers, Like Thee, in field and grove Revive unenvied;—mightier far, Than tremblings that reprove Our vernal tendencies to hope, Is God’s redeeming love; That love which changed-for wan disease, For sorrow that had bent O’er hopeless dust, for withered age— Their moral element, And turned the thistles of a curse To types beneficent. Sin-blighted though we are, we too, The reasoning Sons of Men, From one oblivious winter called Shall rise, and breathe again; And in eternal summer lose Our threescore years and ten. To humbleness of heart descends This prescience from on high, The faith that elevates the just, Before and when they die; And makes each soul a separate heaven A court for Deity.

The Primrose Of The Rock

Open your mind to wonder. Don't close it with belief. For the spell it puts you under makes it difficult to leave. The road to self deception, paved with preconceived conception, makes an evolutionary blunder that much harder to believe. But in the natural ways we suffer and the things we have achieved, I don't think we should be misplaced -- mistaking all things as perceived. And the self-redeeming peace that lives in uttered pleas for buttered ease -- like praying for forgiveness for the feeling of appease. Or kneeling-bound to beg facedown for children with a sickness. (Although prayer doesn't prove to cure disease or wickedness, it seems.)   So if you ever get a chance to wander and start to see the world with wonder, don't let it slip into neglect. Nor impose upon another what you chose when you were younger. Don't abuse your self-respect. Instead, just seek to be free and find the wonder in-between.

Wonder
life is a marathon it isn't easy it isn't graceful it isn't pretty times will come which are so dark even the sunniest of days feels cold evil men sow their sins from the shadows and it stops you in your tracks like hitting a runner's wall breathless stinging lungs scream out against the lack of oxygen like silent voices mourning a waking nightmare but even from under the umbra we might find something worth redeeming a helping hand offering us some much needed hydration or friendly words of encouragement from strangers life is a marathon and we can't allow the runner's wall to stop us from moving forward for the sakes of our brothers and sisters who didn't get their fair chance to cross the finish line

Marathon
First off, Let's cast away "humility" it's the mask of the shy. If you still your voice, you've already committed suicide. I'd rather be punched by your foot than give an apology. Apologizing for your opinion is the mark of weak minds. Too strong minded individuals, definition of "God Complex" Let's be truly smug, and brag about our faults and short comings. Don't turtles dream of flying and humans dream of being us? You're better than me? I am better than you? You spend your days comparing apples to oranges. You said your favorite number was "infinite Zero" You said your favorite band was watching the sun rise. You're the moon that out shined the sun. Your biggest fault is that you think you've lived life. Your only redeeming quality is that you've lived life.

The Girl With Freckles
Your eyes, much like magic, put me under your spell They see to my soul. They puncture my shell Truth's all they know. Their never deceiving They give me the answers that I'm often seeking And whisper the words that I need to be well

Redeeming Gaze
Verse 1 I didn’t even drink that night, well not a lot. I’d learned my lesson with that and well, I trusted him. Liked him, even. He’d asked me out and I said no, But I was going to tell him that night that I’d changed my mind. We’d been together all day, Just hanging out, Having a good time. Always at my expense though He couldn’t laugh without Making fun of me. Chorus (I didn’t say no.) Verse 2 He went out of his way to buy me things. Gave me rides to places, Went on long walks, We were such good friends! We gave each other the cold, hard naked truth. No questions asked. I thought I knew quite a bit about how the world worked. But he said my truth was ugly. That I had no redeeming qualities That it was all my fault for being in the wrong place At the wrong time And I was wrong for wanting someone to love me despite this. Chorus (I didn’t say no.) Verse 3 He came into the room while I was sleeping. We’d gone into separate rooms on purpose. Someone believed I cared enough about myself To choose. I didn’t have a ride home. So I stayed. (Bridge) And, I hated it. Every minute of his hands on my body. I hated the way he smelled, stale beer and trail mix, His crooked teeth and visible nose hair. I hated his ability to lose everything that made him “him” I hated the way HE STOPPED ME! from “adding another notch in my belt” Because he didn’t want to “be another number” I was so angry! He knew my story, knew my life and still... He was on top of me, and I couldn’t say no. When he shoved his finger inside of me...I...froze. All this time had passed with me underneath him with my heart pounding, and I was sure he HEARD me say no but I didn’t SAY no. When my friend put his face near mine and told me I wanted this to happen, that I owed him for all the favors I thought were mutual, I cried but not out loud because I had to “finish” to win. And all I had to do was say no. That's what he said. Just tell me no and I'll stop. The liar. THE LIAR! He didn't stop. And, When I saw my face in the mirror, my soul broke. Because I became his beginning and his ending. I just...stopped existing. (Chorus) And, I didn’t say no. I didn’t say no. I didn’t say no. I didn’t say no. I didn’t say no. I didn’t say no. I didn’t say no. Repeat x...

It will never be easy as some people would say To see the black and white but still think in gray Admitting that the extreme end of one side isn’t always the way to go Unless the lack of redeeming qualities simply make it so Especially in matters left to one’s personal choice It calls for the need to look at those of different perspectives and voice Changes around us require both firmness and flexibility To get with the times that abounds in ambiguity In an atmosphere that show a scarcity of pleasance It would help if in our eyes there is balance Facing the fact that flaws and fine points can actually coexist That understanding is the aid for ones inner peace to persist Tolerance for differences must be present as a form of diplomacy Though decency must still take root and defend ones boundary Respecting choices for the sake of peace is truly a noble aspiration But not before the light and shadow have gone through careful separation Acceptance and rejection can be balanced though challenging it may sound An equal and balanced blend of both needed to pave a road in walking the middle ground.

11/24/2017 Everybody says i dodged a bullet But the bullet landed As for the trigger, was it him or me that pulled it? I thought he helped my heart expand its hard to think i even could with Both feet braced on solid ground Our situationship wasnt planned I know its hard to understand From the outside its easy to brand me Can we analyze every time i noticed how masterfully he handled me? I understand that time is the only poultice But for a moment Id like to be candid please The bullet landed and it travelled It ripped a path through my flesh Day by day i ate less and less Let this be as many lessons As you can manage to pull from this The side pieces and the rest is all fluff and ******** He put strings on my heart and pulled it And i danced and said “how high” And my soul became dull it became harder and harder to wake up every day Is it ok to say the only redeeming quality is that he never struck me? But i wanted to escape the pain of being stuck he told me never, ever again to cut He didnt see that he was the reason i needed release The Mona Lisa was out of luck Finally the bullet festered The pain became so great And the benefits so much less The bullet ripped a path I cut it out and sealed it back Now the bullet is nothing but waste And i can find a new way to relate New tissue to create It takes talent to close, to suture they say “Approximate, dont strangulate” And now the bullet is disposed So they say i dodged a bullet But the bullet landed It ripped a path through my flesh Til i became so much less And the wound began to fester So i cut out the bullet and cleaned up the rest Now i have a scar to show the truth The bullet landed And i still choose Not to be bulletproof

Oh, the great city's madness when at nightfall The crippled trees gape by the blackened wall, The spirit of evil peers from a silver mask; Lights with magnetic scourge drive off the stony night. Oh, the sunken pealing of evening bells. ***** who in her icy shivers sheds a still-born child. With raving whips God's fury punishes brows possessed. Purple pestilence, hunger that breaks green eyes. Oh, the horrible laughter of gold. But silent in dark caves a stiller humanity bleeds, Out of hard metals moulds the redeeming head.

skin to skin i lure you in, rip you apart from limb to limb in the deepest shadows oh the almighty, you don't know i lurk behind every corner, impatiently trying to watch, your sight as always a catch i thump and drag along a bag to carry, for you to last in dark fantasy i taste your flesh your blood drips and drops, but you stay fresh i store pieces of your skin for later, stirring your meat to neat batter your bones do break but your heart wont shatter pure lust glides through my fingers, touching up your moveless figure i yearn in obsession, in dreams it lingers in light you shimmer, brighter as ever moonlights kiss caresses your body, its getting thinner your pulse fastens each push i make, you will get better fallen apart, i sew you back together, pins and needles push through you like softest butter pray, pray and cry, feed me your tears show me more, show me, show me. in despair, i waited and caught you wretched and ruined, now you loathe me. i tell you, i’ll wear your teeth on a necklace, your eyes will see salvation for you are the prettiest you have ever been, one last rest before i begin how redeeming, as in death to still be not lost in darkness, how fortunate to live inside me, finally you found the meaning of life, you have been searching, i know.

i’ll wear your teeth on a necklace
I may behave like one at times, But I don't want to look like a giant baby. This hideous thing Has been made for a giraffe-legged, short-bodied blob with no ***** And it takes up a single wash in my machine. It's only redeeming feature Is that it made my daughters laugh until they needed to *** So it's a good job I didn't find it funny, As I'd have to take the whole thing off for such an act. Off to Oxfam with it. I hope it finds a loving home. I've made my mind up; not a onesie fan And besides, I sleep naked And have no need for a giant fleecy sack.

Hail, happy saint, on thine immortal throne, Possest of glory, life, and bliss unknown; We hear no more the music of thy tongue, Thy wonted auditories cease to throng. Thy sermons in unequall’d accents flow’d, And ev’ry ***** with devotion glow’d; Thou didst in strains of eloquence refin’d Inflame the heart, and captivate the mind. Unhappy we the setting sun deplore, So glorious once, but ah! it shines no more. Behold the prophet in his tow’ring flight! He leaves the earth for heav’n’s unmeasur’d height, And worlds unknown receive him from our sight. There Whitefield wings with rapid course his way, And sails to Zion through vast seas of day. Thy pray’rs, great saint, and thine incessant cries Have pierc’d the ***** of thy native skies. Thou moon hast seen, and all the stars of light, How he has wrestled with his God by night. He pray’d that grace in ev’ry heart might dwell, He long’d to see America excell; He charg’d its youth that ev’ry grace divine Should with full lustre in their conduct shine; That Saviour, which his soul did first receive, The greatest gift that ev’n a God can give, He freely offer’d to the num’rous throng, That on his lips with list’ning pleasure hung. “Take him, ye wretched, for your only good, “Take him ye starving sinners, for your food; “Ye thirsty, come to this life-giving stream, “Ye preachers, take him for your joyful theme; “Take him my dear Americans, he said, “Be your complaints on his kind ***** laid: “Take him, ye Africans, he longs for you, “Impartial Saviour is his title due: “Wash’d in the fountain of redeeming blood, “You shall be sons, and kings, and priests to God.” Great Countess, we Americans revere Thy name, and mingle in thy grief sincere; New England deeply feels, the Orphans mourn, Their more than father will no more return. But, though arrested by the hand of death, Whitefield no more exerts his lab’ring breath, Yet let us view him in th’ eternal skies, Let ev’ry heart to this bright vision rise; While the tomb safe retains its sacred trust, Till life divine re-animates his dust.

On The Death Of The Rev. Mr. George Whitefield
Hail, happy saint, on thine immortal throne, Possest of glory, life, and bliss unknown; We hear no more the music of thy tongue, Thy wonted auditories cease to throng. Thy sermons in unequall’d accents flow’d, And ev’ry ***** with devotion glow’d; Thou didst in strains of eloquence refin’d Inflame the heart, and captivate the mind. Unhappy we the setting sun deplore, So glorious once, but ah! it shines no more. Behold the prophet in his tow’ring flight! He leaves the earth for heav’n’s unmeasur’d height, And worlds unknown receive him from our sight. There Whitefield wings with rapid course his way, And sails to Zion through vast seas of day. Thy pray’rs, great saint, and thine incessant cries Have pierc’d the ***** of thy native skies. Thou moon hast seen, and all the stars of light, How he has wrestled with his God by night. He pray’d that grace in ev’ry heart might dwell, He long’d to see America excell; He charg’d its youth that ev’ry grace divine Should with full lustre in their conduct shine; That Saviour, which his soul did first receive, The greatest gift that ev’n a God can give, He freely offer’d to the num’rous throng, That on his lips with list’ning pleasure hung. “Take him, ye wretched, for your only good, “Take him ye starving sinners, for your food; “Ye thirsty, come to this life-giving stream, “Ye preachers, take him for your joyful theme; “Take him my dear Americans, he said, “Be your complaints on his kind ***** laid: “Take him, ye Africans, he longs for you, “Impartial Saviour is his title due: “Wash’d in the fountain of redeeming blood, “You shall be sons, and kings, and priests to God.” Great Countess, we Americans revere Thy name, and mingle in thy grief sincere; New England deeply feels, the Orphans mourn, Their more than father will no more return. But, though arrested by the hand of death, Whitefield no more exerts his lab’ring breath, Yet let us view him in th’ eternal skies, Let ev’ry heart to this bright vision rise; While the tomb safe retains its sacred trust, Till life divine re-animates his dust.

In Time They'd Be Redeemed... Written To The Robert Plant Lyric, "Stairway To Heaven"
In God’s No~Fly Zone blessedly, so many of you are unaware of the full color spectra that be can seen only when an age of experience has been reached, reached, not attained, for the no~fly zone is no place to be, without any redeeming colorations, it is dark hued twilight that inhibits vision clarity, a precursor warning of the *hungry darkness* that offers to swallow one into shades of sad remorse, and other miseries How came I to earn this distinction, was not by acting out, rather by inaction, the failure to pick the  correct fork in a life of sentence diagramming, sentence in the prison sense, all my sentences, broken down,  no connection sensible to the next phrase, next phase,  so I sit beneath my vine and fig tree, unable to fly, unable to tear shed, grounded, pounded in my head

In God’s No~Fly Zone
The understanding of the stewardship of time calls attention to the accountability of time. The knowledge of time management promotes the accomplishment of God's purpose for man. The understanding of the time enhances the fulfillment of life ambitions on earth. Learn to number the days while applying the heart unto knowledge; knowing any time wasted cannot be regained. Redeeming the time demands the knowledge of time management, acknowledging the fact that the time is short. Understanding the time curbs procastination in every area of life; knowing that procastination is the killer of destinies. Be accountable for the time spent with the understanding we cannot turn back the hands of time. Be conscious of the time spent with the knowledge that time is man's greatest treasure. Beware of the time spent with the knowledge that time waits for no man. Let us seek to understand the time while applying the heart unto knowledge. Let us strive to redeem the time knowing the days are evil. Let us struggle to fulfil the time while our mission on earth lasts. Who then can understand the time, knowing every minute counts. Who then can redeem the time, knowing the days are evil. Who then can fulfil the time, knowing we are governed by time. He that acknowledges the time can understand the time. He that understands the seasons can redeem the time. He that comprehends the mystery of time can fulfil the time. Let him that seek to understand the time, seek the counsel of counsellors. Let him that seek to redeem the time, strive to understand God's purpose for man. Let him that seek to acknowledge the time, Struggle to heed the principles of time. What then is the reward for understanding the time? What then is the reward for redeeming the time? What then is the reward for fulfilling the time? He that understands the time will accomplish God's purpose for man. He that redeems the time will make a difference in his world. He that acknowledges the time will achieve life ambitions on earth. Hope you find time out of every time, knowing we all seek to redeem the time. Time is a Treasure not a Leisure.
