Grace. Let it fall like an ocean Let it rip through the skies Let it fill up my heart and pour out my eyes Let it gravitate my soul Let it make me feel whole Let it remind me of why I live Let it remind me of all that you give! Grace Let my heart be made still and let mine eyes be opened! Let me remember that my ears were made to listen And my lips exist for a lot more than just kissin' Let me remember that these hands simply cannot do it all Cuz see I wasn't made for that I wasn't made for that at all Grace I was made to live and when I say live I think I mean give But then I quickly realize I can only give so much! And there's only so many lives I can touch! Well how can I love if I can't constantly give And how can I live if I can't constantly love but Where's the hope in the God above if I'm the one doin' all the work? And that's when I remember I accomplish the most when I just let go And let You grab hold Grace Well what were these hands made for if not feeding the poor? And what are these heart-wrenching feelings of constantly wanting more? Why do my bones ache and my soul quake at the thought Of living for myself? Why do I worry so much about putting the marginalized on the shelf? Why do I worry about a life that loves hell? Well maybe all this is an unidentified desire to glorify God personified in Jesus Christ crucified Grace And maybe my soul's been singin' songs to my saviour since the day I was born And maybe my saviour's been singin' sweet lullabies to quench the fear in my eyes Maybe not all is lost Maybe hope and salvation really come without cost WELL TRY AND TELL THAT TO THE MAN LIVIN' ON THE STREET WITH NOTHIN' TO EAT an' TELL THAT TO THE CHILD WHOSE FATHER GIVES HIM A DAILY BEATING TELL THE MURDERER'S AND RAPISTS THAT THEY CAN GO FREE TELL THEIR VICTIMS... Tell them what? Grace Maybe it's time I remembered I don't have all the answers Maybe it's time I remembered I am a speck of dust in a rolling beach of existence Maybe it's time I look at what's right in front of me And not strain my neck as far as the eye can see Maybe it's time to focus on living and not just surviving Maybe thriving looks more like trusting than trying Maybe all the answers to my questions aren't really answers at all Maybe it's alright that my walk sometimes feels like a crawl Maybe 100% of the wrongs I do are all my fault Grace Maybe God's lookin' at me like a child set free Maybe God's not lookin' at who I used to be Maybe God's lookin' right past all the bitterness and apathy Maybe God really does look at the heart And maybe He's been holding mine from the very start Maybe this is all going according to plan and if it's not well then maybe God's still using it to help me become a better man Maybe it's time I stopped trying to figure all this out! Grace Let it be felt Tangibly

I remember when you were four I caught you drawing on the wall I couldn't get mad Instead I just laughed And I still have The finger print painting that you made In fact I had it framed I have every art piece you made To remind me that your always here with me spiritually All These tear drops That fall upon the page Creating smudged ink stains As this pen bleeds Words drenched in sorrow An empty heart slowly fades Can't seem to find a way To release all this pain Can't seem to find the words to say I miss you each and everyday Can't find a logical reason to explain Why you were taken away Can't forgive God For what he's done Just hope he's Holding you in his arms Keeping you safe and warm You got the voices of angels Who can serenade And sing you to sleep I'll keep you safe Inside of your dreams We were at the hospital I was sitting beside your bed And you wiped the tears Underneath my eyes Then I heard you say Daddy please don't cry I like it better when you smile So I smiled Don't say no goodnights or goodbyes Yeah princess your my little fighter My inspiration, my perfection My saviour, my hope, my strength Your everything I am I'll carry that with me forever All these tear drops That fall upon the page Creating smudged ink stains As this pen bleeds Words drenched in sorrow An empty heart slowly fades Can't seem to find a way To release all this pain Can't seem to find the words to say I miss you each and everyday Can't find a logical reason to explain Why you were taken away Can't forgive God For what he's done Just hope he's Holding you in his arms Keeping you safe and warm You got the voices of angels Who can serenade And sing you to sleep I'll keep you safe Inside of your dreams I still remember when I heard the doctor say (There's no heart rate) That line still haunts me Your mother and I fell to the floor Neither of us wanted to get back up It felt like we cried for hours And then I felt something give me strength Then I remembered what you said Daddy please don't cry I like it better when you smile So I pulled myself back up from the floor Took your mother in my arms Carried her back to the car You were every step You were every breath All These tear drops That fall upon the page Creating smudged ink stains As this pen bleeds Words drenched in sorrow An empty heart slowly fades Can't seem to find a way To release all this pain Can't seem to find the words to say I miss you each and everyday Can't find a logical reason to explain Why you were taken away Can't forgive God For what he's done Just hope he's holding You in his arms Keeping you safe and warm You got the voices of angels Who can serenade And sing you to sleep And I'll keep you safe Inside of your dreams I still remember when I heard the priest say May she rest with angels watching over her May they share there infinite love on high May they protect her blessed soul Let the Lord take her Into his loving arms To keep her safe from harm I said Amen to that princess And I've seen you in the stars Yeah you'll never be to far For we are always With in each other's hearts All these tear drops That fall upon the page Creating smudged ink stains As this pen bleeds Words drenched in sorrow An empty heart slowly fades Can't seem to find a way To release all this pain Can't seem to find the words to say I miss you each and everyday Can't find a logical reason to explain Why you were taken away Can't forgive God For what he's done Just hope he's holding You in his arms Keeping you safe and warm You got the voices of angels Who can serenade And sing you to sleep And I'll keep you safe Inside of your dreams Sometimes I sit in your empty room Imagine you playing, drawing Creating all those games You used to play With your vivid imagination A world of your creation It's like your still here I can feel your essence I can feel your presence In this place It's where I go to relive your memory That you left for me All these tear drops That fall upon the page Creating smudged ink stains As this pen bleeds Words drenched in sorrow An empty heart slowly fades Can't seem to find a way To release all this pain Can't seem to find the words to say I miss you each and everyday Can't find a logical reason to explain Why you were taken away Can't forgive God For what he's done Just hope he's holding You in his arms Keeping you safe and warm You got the voices of angels Who can serenade And sing you to sleep And I'll keep you safe Inside of your dreams ©2018 Written By Benji James

XXII. TO POSEIDON (7 lines) (ll. 1-5) I begin to sing about Poseidon, the great god, mover of the earth and fruitless sea, god of the deep who is also lord of Helicon and wide Aegae. A two-fold office the gods allotted you, O Shaker of the Earth, to be a tamer of horses and a saviour of ships! (ll. 6-7) Hail, Poseidon, Holder of the Earth, dark-haired lord! O blessed one, be kindly in heart and help those who voyage in ships!

The Homeric Hymns: 22- To Poseidon
For now the winter bites Breath stolen by the cold fingers Of the nights frost Hanging in the still air We shall return to our motherland Victoria is the name Pressed onto cracked lips Let the fire of saviour burn tonight As we prepare For thine enemy shall taste The cold arrows Peirce the breast of harlots As we march Bear skin warms our back And norse songs pound inside souls Of brave warriors Beneath the silver moon March march march Until this land is free again And we return To the love of the Summer angel

Return
In one night of these nights, I don't know what happened to me Oh Lord, I am filled with dakness...how can this be ? Earth and the heavens are closing in to me, theres no way I can flee I have fallen, a devil without wings, A demon who's heart has forgotten something called "The light" A prisoner with not much to say, a prisoner held by strings And the sun I see has given up her might... She does not shine, radiate or any of these things My eyes cry out as I see the others, Walking blindly through the flames, not anyone bothers I have become stuck here because of my sins oh God. "Does this criminal deserve your forgiveness" I'm thinking I have confessed my sins, but I am still sinking But today, oh Lord I want to come back, from the darkness cast by this cruel Sun My heart is broken, my mind is confused, my lungs feel like being pressured by a ton I am drowning here, can't see anything Except for you oh my saviour, my king So I speak out with the last breath "Save me, and I will try to fix my behaviour" Even if you resurrect in hell..the pain of death can be felt well ~ Umi

You came out of nowhere You came darting through my blind spot You definitely caught me off guard Talking turned into flirting Flirting turned into I like you I like you turned into I love you How did we get there How did everything fall apart You said I hurt you I know I did My feelings were unclear and I dragged your heart around like it was a rag doll I understand what I did, believe me I used to stay awake at night with pains in my chest It felt like knives but I knew I deserved it You were crazy You still are crazy But I can't say that I was completely sane And I did love you But I wasn't ready for the love that you wanted to give me Now we are on opposite sides of the playing field You hate me You wanted to die because of me... well and other people You thought I was your saviour I just wanted you to be healthy Now you text and call my phone explaining how worthless I am And how much you hate me You talk about my insecurities like they are yours to tell I trust you with my secrets and you play them like your favorite song on repeat You try to get to me I'm sorry for what I did I hope you can forgive me Forgive me so you can focus on yourself I don't hate you But I can't save you

Christmas can be a time when families get together: Young children scream, wine glasses gleam, both ready for M&S dinner. TV's in the corner rerunning Home Alone, Heart radio's in the kitchen, Chris Rea's driving home, again. Toddlers find the wrapping more engaging than the Duplo Teen couples find the company less of interest than their own. The dog's confused and excited with so many different sources of scratches and pats, he can't relax, his whining is remorseless. Christmas can be a time when families are missed, the parcel made last post winging off to little sis. Zoom will come in handy to laugh across the miles, the screen will mask the tears and focus on the smiles. Gran will talk of Christmas past when everyone was home 'Cept in Gulf War 1 when Uncle John went away, .... Christmas can be a time when budgets get stretched tight, cash pressures get to breaking point and prompt senseless fights. Some focus on opportunity to spend some gilt-free money, the only prayers are for extra hours and a faster tesco trolley. For others it's simply ' Yuletide' an excessive celebration, a winter feast, all you can eat, give in to all temptation. Most focus on the family, even more on the gifts; there's little time for Jesus assigned amongst the myths. Some do remember Jesus from half forgotten carols, they know there's something more than donkeys and angel heralds. For there He is in the middle, noticed once in a while; it's His birthday, but all He's getting is a half-hearted song and a smile. He's no longer a babe in a manger, He's now a resurrected King, waiting for those who would worship to stand and welcome Him in. Whatever your experience of Christmas you can come just as you are, His love is unconditional He'll accept you warts and all. So come on! It’s a season to celebrate! To dance, to sing and to shout! Your Saviour invites you to join Him, so when you sing this Christmas, make it count.

XXVIII. TO ATHENA (18 lines) (ll. 1-16) I begin to sing of Pallas Athene, the glorious goddess, bright-eyed, inventive, unbending of heart, pure ****** saviour of cities, courageous, Tritogeneia. From his awful head wise Zeus himself bare her arrayed in warlike arms of flashing gold, and awe seized all the gods as they gazed. But Athena sprang quickly from the immortal head and stood before Zeus who holds the aegis, shaking a sharp spear: great Olympus began to reel horribly at the might of the bright-eyed goddess, and earth round about cried fearfully, and the sea was moved and tossed with dark waves, while foam burst forth suddenly: the bright Son of Hyperion stopped his swift-footed horses a long while, until the maiden Pallas Athene had stripped the heavenly armour from her immortal shoulders. And wise Zeus was glad. (ll. 17-18) And so hail to you, daughter of Zeus who holds the aegis! Now I will remember you and another song as well.

Twelve Olympians, to rule as they choose. Twelve Olympians, we'll start with Zeus. God of sky, thunder, lightning, law. Ruled the Olympians with the justice he saw. Commonly referred to as the Father. Next is Poseidon, God of Water. "A tamer of horses and a saviour of ships," Said in one of Homer's hymns. Next is Hera, Queen of the Gods, and of women.

Artemis, Goddess of Moon and Hunt, and Apollo's twin. Guided mothers through childbirth, a sacred ****** Also, beloved Aphrodite, Goddess of Love. Lover of Ares, who favored battles and blood.

The Twelve Olympians
I just hate this, I don’t hate you until we kiss I’ll escape you oh where’s the twist, I’m enraged, who’s the god of fate to complain to do you love me like I love you? but I always know when a love’s true see fire, into it I tune chemistry shatters the whole room sent me an angel too early you are too pretty and pearly and you could heal me or hurt me I’m bad and broken, you’re holy too much unspoken, you don’t see below the surface I’m hurting I dream of barriers burning you pull me back as I’m turning run with me, keep this a secret make up for a life filled with regret exiled societal rejects star crossed love lost, now we reflect I severed ties, sent a letter the final feeling, forget her bore the burden, barely better she’d lose her life, they won’t let her the fantasy failed to survive it was as though she had just died our dangerous dance was denied fell into smoking, drugs and wine so hollow without the saviour forced to get stronger and braver seek solitude that I favour give myself the love I gave her can’t give the choice to the chosen goodbye, our meaningful moments in november were the omens in winter forever frozen

the twist
(Genesis, xxii.14) The saints should never be dismay'd, Nor sink in hopeless fear; For when they least expect His aid, The Saviour will appear. This Abraham found: he raised the knife; God saw, and said, "Forbear! Yon ram shall yield his meaner life; Behold the victim there." Once David seem'd Saul's certain prey; But hark! the foe's at hand; Saul turns his arms another way, To save the invaded land. When Jonah sunk beneath the wave, He thought to rise no more; But God prepared a fish to save, And bear him to the shore. Blest proofs of power and grace divine, That meet us in His word! May every deep-felt care of mine Be trusted with the Lord. Wait for His seasonable aid, And though it tarry, wait: The promise may be long delay'd, But cannot come too late.

Jehovah-Jireh. The Lord Will Provide
I observe your flaws Thought I wanted perfect after all the dysfunction But perfect is ugliness I now know Embrace the scars, weaknesses and out of the norms I love to see them, see you as human Brought back down to earth But you're still in the clouds Still bright shining Saviour Guidance Goodness Still perfect but not all the way through & that's just the way I love you.

Flaws
I often ask myself why I spend so much time learning another language Why do I obsess and stress over something by my own will? What do I have to gain, why do I want to teach and translate this foreign tongue? Yet every night I force new words into my mind And it makes me feel so calm and distracted All my fears and concerns fade away as I take this information into my brain I see nothing but beauty in every character I write so much so that I often write in the wrong alphabet To me it's the most perfect and beautiful script It's like riding a bike for the first time everytime I translate in my mind The culture and language has found its way into my heart I've fallen in love with the language like you do a person Slowly, then all at once Without understanding at first but slowly uncoiling the wonderful beauty before my eyes I've found my passion and my saviour all at once There is power in words which spawn from language Every new term I learn makes me feel just that much stronger Enough to feel invincible

To love a language
Blood red plain of killing fields. Lioness stalks her prey. Tragic zebra separated from the herd. As lady lion quiet as bird. Creeps through concealing long grass. Undergrowth. Undercover. Trying not to rustle. Lioness has savvy. Not Zebra mares' saviour today. No games. She flies. Hear the wildebeest scatter. They know she's there. The birds, made them aware. Assails from the side. One fell swoop and zebra's down. The other quadrupeds return from their scarper and scatter. No fear today. The lioness is fed. She is not greedy. Nature beat her quarry. From the trees emerge her cubs to take their fill. The laws of the wild instilled! By ladylivvi1 © 2013 ladylivvi1 (All rights reserved)

Lioness!
[Dedicated to Austin Osman Spare] Have pity ! show no pity ! Those eyes that send such shivers Into my brain and spine : oh let them Flame like the ancient city Swallowed up by the sulphurous rivers When men let angels fret them ! Yea ! let the south wind blow, And the Turkish banner advance, And the word go out : No quarter ! But I shall hod thee -so ! While the boys and maidens dance About the shambles of slaughter ! I know thee who thou art, The inmost fiend that curlest Thy vampire tounge about Earth's corybantic heart, Hell's warrior that whirlest The darts of horror and doubt ! Thou knowest me who I am The inmost soul and saviour Of man ; what hieroglyph Of the dragon and the lamb Shall thou and I engrave here On Time's inscandescable cliff ? Look ! in the plished granite, Black as thy cartouche is with sins, I read the searing sentence That blasts the eyes that scan it : **** and SET be TWINS." A fico for repentance ! Ay ! O Son of my mother That snarled and clawed in her womb As now we rave in our rapture, I know thee, I love thee, brother ! Incestuous males that consumes The light and the life that we capture. Starve thou the soul of the world, Brother, as I the body ! Shall we not glut our lust On these wretches whom Fate hath hurled To a hell of jesus and shoddy, Dung and ethics and dust ? Thou as I art Fate. Coe then, conquer and kiss me ! Come ! what hinders? Believe me : This is the thought we await. The mark is fair ; can you miss me ? See, how subtly I writhe ! Strange runes and unknown sigils I trace in the trance that thrills us. Death ! how lithe, how blithe Are these male incestuous vigils ! Ah ! this is the spasm that kills us ! Wherefore I solemnly affirm This twofold Oneness at the term. Asar on Asi did beget Horus twin brother unto Set. Now Set and Horus kiss, to call The Soul of the Unnatural Forth from the dusk ; then nature slain Lets the Beyond be born again. This weird is of the tongue of Khem, The Conjuration used of them. Whoso shall speak it, let him die, His bowels rotting inwardly, Save he uncover and caress The God that lighteth his liesse.

The Twins
[Dedicated to Austin Osman Spare] Have pity ! show no pity ! Those eyes that send such shivers Into my brain and spine : oh let them Flame like the ancient city Swallowed up by the sulphurous rivers When men let angels fret them ! Yea ! let the south wind blow, And the Turkish banner advance, And the word go out : No quarter ! But I shall hod thee -so ! While the boys and maidens dance About the shambles of slaughter ! I know thee who thou art, The inmost fiend that curlest Thy vampire tounge about Earth's corybantic heart, Hell's warrior that whirlest The darts of horror and doubt ! Thou knowest me who I am The inmost soul and saviour Of man ; what hieroglyph Of the dragon and the lamb Shall thou and I engrave here On Time's inscandescable cliff ? Look ! in the plished granite, Black as thy cartouche is with sins, I read the searing sentence That blasts the eyes that scan it : **** and SET be TWINS." A fico for repentance ! Ay ! O Son of my mother That snarled and clawed in her womb As now we rave in our rapture, I know thee, I love thee, brother ! Incestuous males that consumes The light and the life that we capture. Starve thou the soul of the world, Brother, as I the body ! Shall we not glut our lust On these wretches whom Fate hath hurled To a hell of jesus and shoddy, Dung and ethics and dust ? Thou as I art Fate. Coe then, conquer and kiss me ! Come ! what hinders? Believe me : This is the thought we await. The mark is fair ; can you miss me ? See, how subtly I writhe !

I am blessed, With God in my life I am not stressed. In the mornings, I awake to the unique sounds of nature, Birds chirping, the wind blowing the leaves on the trees, Roosters crowing, dogs barking. I see the bright and glorious sunshine, The butterflies playing in the air, The cotton ball clouds, The beautiful mountains and the lovely and Sweet smelling roses. I am blessed to behold the beauty of God’s creation. I am blessed to have the opportunity to experience true salvation. I am blessed; there is always food to eat and to share. I am blessed, not stressed, well dressed, put to the test. I am blessed, there is money to pay the bills and I have feet to walk up the hills. I am blessed, I am loved by my family and friends, And most of all I have the love of Jesus Christ. I am blessed, God provides for me in everyway, He protects me and I know that He will never forsake me. I am blessed His angels are near and He has given me ears to hear. I am blessed, I have lived to see another day, My saviour has cleared the way. I am blessed, I am in my right mind, I can smile and make others smile as well. I am blessed, I am in good health, I can feel my heart beat the rhythmic beat of life, As it vibrates against my chest: Budup, budup, budup. Oh, how wonderful it is to know, That I am blessed, not stressed, Well dressed, put to the test. Praise the Lord! I am blessed.

I Am Blessed
VIII. TO ARES (17 lines) (ll. 1-17) Ares, exceeding in strength, chariot-rider, golden- helmed, doughty in heart, shield-bearer, Saviour of cities, harnessed in bronze, strong of arm, unwearying, mighty with the spear, O defence of Olympus, father of warlike Victory, ally of Themis, stern governor of the rebellious, leader of righteous men, sceptred King of manliness, who whirl your fiery sphere among the planets in their sevenfold courses through the aether wherein your blazing steeds ever bear you above the third firmament of heaven; hear me, helper of men, giver of dauntless youth! Shed down a kindly ray from above upon my life, and strength of war, that I may be able to drive away bitter cowardice from my head and crush down the deceitful impulses of my soul. Restrain also the keen fury of my heart which provokes me to tread the ways of blood-curdling strife. Rather, O blessed one, give you me boldness to abide within the harmless laws of peace, avoiding strife and hatred and the violent fiends of death.

The Homeric Hymns: 8- To Ares
O Holy Saviour, Friend unseen, Since on Thine arm Thou bid'st us lean, Help us throughout life's changing scene By faith to cling to Thee. When far from home, fatigued, oppressed, In Thee we found our place of rest; As exiles still, yet richly blest, We cling, O Lord, to Thee. What though the world deceitful prove, And earthly friends and hopes remove! With patient, uncomplaining love, Still would we cling to Thee. Though faith and hope are often tried, We ask not, need not, ought beside; So safe, so calm, so satisfied, The soul that clings to Thee. Blest is our lot, whate'er befall; What can disturb or who appal? Thou art our strength, our rock, our all, Saviour, we cling to Thee.

O Holy Saviour, Friend unseen,
You held a promise over my head like a guillotine, I'd be safe as long as I did what you asked, I'd survive so long as I gave you what you wanted, I saw God in the face of Satan, because there was no other way for it to be, and you want my thanks and gratitude for being my saviour that night? when you would put me in a prison, for the rest of my life...

God vs Satan
Papa The one who held on to us In times good and rough Placed all our needs on his shoulders Made us into tough little soldiers Papa Never tired is he Nor sleep does prevail him Kills all his days to make ours bright Our eternal light Papa The epitome of love A blessing from above Leaves behind all his desires for ours His sacrifices can't be told in mere words Papa Someday I will be like you Loving everyone true Binding through trust and care A family we will all bear

saviour dad
Where to now, Where shall I go, I belong no longer, For I am lost, And don't want to be found, I feel I'm sinking deeper, Into a pit of insanity, For it is to late for rescue, Leave me here, I'll drown in tears, Of sorrow, Of loss, Where to now, I seek a saviour, I seek refuge, Just one last time, Kiss me goodbye, For I must go, Where to now, You ask me, That's up to you, Please be my guide,

Where to now
Weeping Zaire, her Bleeding Flannel blew Over the Land this Serenity bequeath What happened, then, to the Children you knew Took out their Armites; And shot Mercy beneath Salt from their Riches they greatly export And infected your Brothers in the Dark With Mums, Flesh-Spermed Tales of Horror consort Lost all but their Shelled Samples in the Park Our Dear Hands sprout! And cry to Heaven's Name Asking the Saviour when this Madness ends As the Radio's Red Tape is all just the same, All just Light-Shows; But very few Amends. These Congo Apes weep black at the Event Not just the Brother; But Habitat meant.
