| -Prayer For Contentment-
-From the Broken Hearted-
O Lord, My God
I look about me and see naught
but thy hand against me
My friends, once steadfastly standing,
have deserted me at thy bidding
My heart cries in anguish
at the blows of your hammer
My will was strong and pride was mighty
but your slightest guidance and softest
touch, shatters my heart and lays my
head low
Surely I have clung to my wicked ways
and carved my idols with and from
the very gifts and blessings you have
granted unto me
Let there be no turning of my hope in thee
Grant my faith the fortitude it lacks that
I might ever cling to thee.
Might no earthly thing hold such sway in my heart
that it might cause doubt in its absence
Hearken unto my cries and have mercy
on a shattered heart and broken man
Fill the empty spaces in my heart that you might
flow over into those cluttered rooms filled with
the desires of this world, and may you sweep
away the unholy in your righteous flood
Make my desire for you alone, that my desire should
be always wanting yet fulfilled in each moment
AMEN.

| -From Moonrise To Moonset-
When darkness like shadow
covers poor lands
When it descends like a storm
against all who would stand
When light flees before
the dark shroud of night
When the sun fears the moon
and hides from all sight
From moonrise to moonset
My heart hides in dark fear
Yet from moonrise to moonset
I feel you most near
For as I lie still
and my thoughts still rage on
And my heart works against me
as I yearn for the dawn
Your arm will still shield from the storm | | |
| -Red Stained Walls-
Hard
Too hard
To die
To cry
To pardon crimes
Of life's design
To cry cold tears, into a flood
That would run their course, to seas of blood
And cleanse by those tears, the red stained walls
And kill the pain, with which my life crawls
Hell's fires forged me, a Pandora's Box
And like the fool I was, I picked the lock
Now my life is consumed by that hellfire
And I have believed myself, I have trusted a liar
I can not go on through life in this way
I can not trust my heart, yet believe what I say
I look in the mirror, in saddening surprise
for I see there not tears, but fears in my eyes
I see a man, too afraid of life
A man with weak hands, he can not grasp the knife
Because it is...
Hard
Too hard
To die
To cry

| Sweet insanity
Fall softly on me
In slow culmination rise up
Empty at first
Just a void in the something
Fill now my nothing
My nothing with everything
I cannot leave this space blank
A page with no words worth the reading
I meditate on the absences of my book's pages
Willing the words and phrases to flow
But the stifling silence grows
And I surrender my self to this lunatic life | | |
