FALL OF WAR

FALL OF WAR

A whistle past your head
An inch from being dead
A shell blasts the world apart
A fire burning from the start
This is the fall of war

 Behold God knocks at the Door

In the foxhole soldiers pray
As the world gets blown away

What more can I offer you?

What more can I offer you?

O,God I'll offer you,
With my tear drops
Which will be like garland
Of cristal pearls.

What more can I offer you,
when sorrow and pangs,
always lead me down
and my constant companions?

But I want your...

SOMEDAY TOMORROW WILL NOT COME

SOMEDAY TOMORROW WILL NOT COME

The service ends, you run out the door
Man you've heard it all before!
Why can't God just leave you be?
You just want to be free!
Yet you think as you drive away
Maybe you'll know Him someday
You know it's...

SOLDIER'S TALE

SOLDIER’S TALE

If you've never been there
I'm not sure that you'll see
The smell of smoke in the air
And bullets flying right past me
And right then, in my darkest hour
God's Grace hits me with His power

I saw my friends fall down
And...

SO THANK YOU

SO THANK YOU

I've been at the end of it all
Seen life run on with out me
Though I thought I must fall
Yet Lord You lifted me

I've been to the end of the road
So tired I just couldn't go on
You came beside, carried my load
I rose in the...

So…How Are You?!

“How are you?” they ask, as the world goes by,
A question so light, yet I choke on my reply.
“I’m okay,” the words like ash on my tongue,
A lie so stark, it feels like lungs unsung.

Inside, a sea of broken glass,
My heart pierced with each...

NO NETS, NO ROPES


The filth-waterfalls of obscene, ugly-speech come out of the mouths of girls' cat-wicked-cows after being whipped and then splashed out; cascades of flame-spitting words follow each other, while they themselves laugh a rainbow of sounds and...

A letter to myself

If I could impound one thing in our brain it would be "she shall be loved"
You are so worth it
I apologize for all the disrespect I allowed into our life
For all the pain and suffering I accepted and held in
A huge hug I wrap around us
For the...

When Sunshine Comes again.

A few years ago an

 “Extraordinary event” occurred
At least that is what
every scientist
And every
Human being said

However, I’m not sure that
Is what you would call it
To me horrific
Is a more suitable
Word…

This is what happened...

A Candle in the Wind

Nothing gold stays too long.
Nature’s first green is gold.
She then transforms her form
as leaves subside to leaf.

When dawn gives way to day
a single leaf can flower
in this early morning hour,
a green and golden bower.

Your...

The Velvet Tiger

He lies in wait amidst the vast,
dense jungle, camouflaged by brown
dirt, twigs, grasses and open plain.

He lies so still with scarce a breath
escapes his lungs, for fear of sound –
he matters not if pouring rain.

He hunts by ponds of...

Dragonflies

The insects cluster casually
adorned in their honeyed capsules
that glisten in the morning sun
like sparkling golden jewels.

These creatures slumber peacefully
in the crevices of the pines,
with their ancient kauri residue
and microscopic...

Traits

Sometimes I can't breathe or speak,
Yet I still open my mouth and impress upon the freedom of speech,
I cease seeking for what a desire seeks,
For the loss of what I didn't know how to keep,
Pushed aside emotions into compartmentalization,
