Predicament

I do not hate and that gives me away
Wind in my hair like trees make me sway
My passion all fired up and alive
Your love gives me all kinds of drive

Fill my heart with your Joy oh Lord
That magnificent host to be adored
I burn with a kind of power by fire
My breath I direct for it to transpire

I have got all sorts of enormous pain
I gave up trying to heal with disdain
No one understands the predicament
That to witness love I was sent

Stature

I see you returning every day
Expecting me to have something to say
About you and your demands
Echoed across the lands

My words are nothing so why bother
I am weak and alone with no other
Trampled on and unforgiven for nothing
Making me rage with anger and I cannot sing

I have not sung any song in a long time
My voice darkened in the shadow of this rhyme
Making my tongue and lips parched and dry
No tears from me as I cannot even cry

The Lord God rules my heart with conviction
Putting before me a troubling mission
To convince the world of their sinful nature
That destroys their home and stature

Celestial

My love for you is like a bird in a tree
Nesting chicks soon to be free
Leaving them on their own to fly
Some would say, oh me oh my
Do their mothers know about this?
What does this have to do with eternal bliss?

Plastered dreams all over the place
Giving me a chance to save face
My intentions crystal clear
You have nothing to fear
But I do not give in to demands
And will bend backwards to make amends

Your dreams of love carrying the wind
With each other we would have sinned
Long gone are the days I used to keep
Trailing behind me, blood while I weep
To move forward with the light
Never giving up the celestial fight

Living Pain

I burn with agony over this
Being subject to a certain bliss
Changes perspective when it is revered
To be a blessing and passion so seared
By grace with all that living pain
And still dance with you in the rain

Rent

On my journey in life I found
Something so very profound
That life itself is incomplete on purpose
And that it reminds me of a circus

It pains me to live the way I live
Like I am undercover and refuse to give
What would give me away in my silence
And knock me off of my high fence

I see both sides from up here, you see
Unbiased and only centuries from me
To have the complete and total truth in unity
And enter into the darkness with immunity

Know this, that my love for you will not diminish
But I have to walk this gauntlet with a wish
That you will side up with me against the current
To flip the world around and skip the rent

But we both know you prefer to be without me
I am so poor that all I have is this poetry
I let go of that which chained me here
Broke the chains by way of cheer

Beyond this body, mind, and death
Is the recognition of divinity in my breath
I do not cling to the physical that drags us under
Rather, I cling to love to not go asunder

Estranged

I know what the world wants in the desire for power
So I wash my hands clean and scent it with a flower
But your desires are corrupted by demons who lie
To force you to a place where you will never try

The broken spirits slaughtered despite my pleas
The inkling that I am a god put you on your knees
But I lack one power over all humanity
Which is the freedom to choose wisely

So do not let me stop you from fighting
Is that not what you do in the ring?
Do not ever tell me to change
When your harmony becomes estranged

Just remember that before God I stand
So many people do not understand
That is what happens when you surrender
To the God of Love who is a father so tender

I presented before the Lord my deepest sigh
And you made it sound like I never try
I presented before the Lord a judgement
But you vehemently denied that from God I was sent

Just because you decide something is not real
Does not make it the truth no matter how you feel
We are on the verge of a new beginning
With new gods heading toward your ring

Truth is the way
I am here to stay
Beyond any myth or legend
To usher in the beginning by the end
