XVIIA
THE MIND LEARNS THE HEART YEARNSB
-
O LOVE why hast thou not cast your shadow on theeC
I know It was my fault You were never invited intoD
my lifeA
-
In my blind pursuit of fortune and glory Avarice thatE
lustful fellow took hold of my heart and suspended itF
most painfully for what seemed like Eternity until I wasG
forcibly dropped to my knees and made to beg for yourH
divine giftI
-
In my blatant stupidity I was wrongJ
-
Riches do not warm your heart with happiness nor fillK
your Soul with Peace Never again will I stray for IL
dare not take that lonely path againM
-
XVIIIA
When you first entered into Life's world of PowerN
and Lies did you ever think you were contributingO
to your own demise I think notP
-
So torn apart in mind and heart your wounds willK
never heal You wanted excitement money and fameQ
so with your own greed you struck a dealR
-
XIXG
In God's eyes Everything is One under the SunS
Only humans DivideT
-
Life is like a fist full of sand You hold it in yourH
palm for a brief moment then it easily slips throughD
your fingers like it was never meant to beC
-
Tis not for fame that I wrote this but for someU
lonely dream child to read it and blow me a kissG
Honoring the precious fluid spilt from my stillK
Bleeding HeartV
-
XXG
I have learned this If you have something thatE
you love someone out there in this cold world isG
going to take it away from you if you make yourH
pleasure known to themW
-
Let no one know your true feelings for you willK
be condemned by your own releaseG
-
XXIG
Our naked faces hide behind many masks grantingO
us expression Our thoughts remain unheard byL
mortal ears yet surface like a thief in the nightX
through Painting Song and Poetry the voices ofA
the godsG
-
XXIIG
Close your eyes sweet child and dream ThouY
needst not awake only to be blinded by that whichZ
I have tried to shield you fromU
-
Sweet Sorrow please abandon meC
-
Begone darkness Shroud me not with your cursesG
of Death Alas in other days I might have wished youD
to claim me yet not now God how I savor eachA2
passing breathB2
-
Your angels they caress me with their tranquil songsG
How peaceful they seem yet still so far away from aC2
mortal's touch much too longJ
-
Humans have longed for immortality ever since the beginningO
of Time but it's that uncertainty of what followsG
Death it makes that Bell they wish it notP
to chimeD2
-
And that struggle for survival the animal instinctE2
within us all it makes us fight to the bitter endF2
-
Yet even if Time is infinite mere flesh alone cannotP
yield the soul's request to be free So eventually itF
decays and returns to it's pristine stateG2
-
Grains of golden glitter awaiting rebirth into theC2
DawnH2

XXIIIG
APOCALYPSEG
-
O Horsemen of Doom Man's image in different formI2
why have you brought forth destruction every sinceG
the Earth was bornJ2
-
Temporary Paradise once held you in your stall butK2
that soon vanished upon Sin's introduction to ManL2
now only darkness fallsG
-
Your hooves claw deep this mangled Land War hasG
made his appearance as many a Ruler with a greedy andM2
lustful handN2
-
Death abounds bringing Night to people so ill yetO2
if disease doesn't do you in someone else will tryL
to killK
-
Someday Good will overcome Evil forever It has beenP2
written But not soon enough to stop the World'sG
progressive suicide before her destruction and rebirthQ2
Morally spiritually ethicallyC
-
No not physicallyC
-
You see Satan's familiars embody our souls and blindR2
us unknowingly for we cannot see or touch them They doD
their damage working through our thoughts and actions andM2
are unavoidable to Worldly dwellers not yet SavedS2
-
Destined since the beginning of Time All of MankindR2
must pay for the first Sin every day that they liveA
on Earth Praying for release from their sentence butK2
there will be no Pardon only Death and JudgmentT2
-
We are but ripples in the puddle of Life Made to runS
then disappear never to be seen againM
-
Our real purpose none of which there is kept hiddenS
by tasks conjured up from ethereal hands becauseG
Miracles sinnedU2
-
DUST Crystallized organs and intelligence Just addV2
water and blood with a little divine influence thrown inP2
to make the miracle completeW2
-
Build yourselves a kingdom you need me not I haveA
abandoned you temporarily just as backs have been turnedX2
on me to see how well you handle Temptation You curseG
me when something goes wrong but it's not I hearing yourH
hypocritical screamsG
-
Foolish mortals you'll never believe me until it's tooD
LATEG2
-
XXIVA
As the fallen rise up and the past risen return toD
their kingdoms beneath Time once again repeats itselfA
Same plot scene script Different actors actressesG
and settingO
-
This time it's nowY
-
Beware of the Bitch with a dagger in her hand TurnY2
not your back and close your heart If you let her getO2
too close she'll tear you apart Do it with a smileZ2
babyC
-
Love aborted pain abounds Your flesh once caressedA3
mine now only coldness surroundsG
-
In the midst of my dreams I prayed not to awake IL
could have held you there for Eternity yet you slappedB3
me from my peaceful slumber and told me it was a mistakeC3
-
O please do not shatter my Life this way Can't youD
give me just one more chance You've made me realize howY
foolish I've been How can you write about Love when you'veA
never known true RomanceG
-
I am exposed now Poison me with your impuritiesG

XXVA
THE JUDGMENTT2
-
My God why hast thou forsaken me during my hour ofA
trial What sin has cursed me to deserve your denialD3
of helpE3
-
Upon the wings of all that is Holy I humbly come beforeH
you on my knees to seek your forgiveness yet evenP2
with a tear in my eye you forcefully penetrate my trueD
Soul and see through my hypocrisyC
-
Only you God can read me trueD
-
Never a year will escape me now for I will live foreverN
Awake in the midst of Insanity and sleep deep beneathF3
the burning coals of HELLG3

In the midst of my Dreams I was awakened by harshH3
