Author: The Scorned Prophet

If you were on fire with love for me
What would you do to me?
My heart flourishes the butterflies
In anticipation of and what it implies

If I was on fire with love for you
And if you allowed me to
I would kiss you hand, head, and foot
And bless you with all I have to put

What if I told you things no one would believe
Would you believe or decide to leave?
What I would say would lead your thoughts to
A formidable conclusion that is true

But what truth is hidden in plain sight
That brings forth God’s Divine Light?
See that what is left unsaid
Is kept a secret even kept from the dead

Fortune favouring the bold is a lie
People still steal, cheat, kill, and lie
My warning shot above their heads
But their lack of fear was in their heads

The Spirit moves and works in many ways
You do not understand His plays
He has kept me safe all these long years
Confided in me with His heavenly tears

I reached out only as far as a branch
Only to realize I have carte blanche
Won by the sacrifices made out of love for you
I choose love, over all through and through

With my staff now gone from me
I seem to have corrupted my journey
Thinking I could go at it alone
I certainly do not have a clone

So while your sentiment brings hope
I am at the end of my rope
Knowing now my span is very short
For evil has already started to cohort

Know and understand this times ten
The Lord allows much to happen
He wills your own love to bring fruit
But allows any selfish gains to take root

So cascade the truth toward the skies
To love thy neighbour, hear their cries
My cry is old and deep with sorrow
Of which you can either convey or borrow

The truth is that a shepherd is a shepherd
When His flock follows his word
So I went searching for the lost
And found you at a tremendous cost

Oh how I love you my dear
I want you to have nothing to fear
My rhymes are just the beginning
In this heart race, I think I am winning

You make me feel special in life
By the ways of your love as my wife
Your words are like balm to my lips
Kissing me while I am getting grips

My love reaches beyond the world
My eyes seek love unfurled
To find your heart is always full of love
Is a gift on its own like the Dove

I seek to deepen this heavenly bond
Instead of cowering away after some blonde
Though we both are still in this damned desert
I will always give you everything, even my shirt

I am always under attack
By demons or evil spirits
Whatever you want to call them
They are allowed to inflict pain
For years on end and it gets old
Invisible but exhausting and painful
Just when I think I would collapse
I recover and stand tall amidst the fire
But sometimes when it is unbearable
That the soothing sound of your voice
Takes a stand against the pain
Brought tears to my eyes out of joy
Yanking at God’s heartstrings
Learning what it’s all about
Living the life of a living miracle
Little do you know
Wish you would show
What I seek must be
When what I do is more of a dance
With life and love
Sweet sweet love I seek
But sometimes I wonder out of awe
What you really think of me
After I poured out my heart’s desires
And in response this is what I received:

Took the offbeat path
Led by the light of God
Bloodied footprints and all
Put there by Christ Himself

Many years have passed since I began
So much suffering I was allowed upon
To recompense for others
For they do not know what they do

So when misfortune comes my way
And it always does as it is the root and the cause
Would you rescue me
Or will you watch me drown?

Does the fault rest with me
That I am torn to shreds by your sin?
I stepped in front of the bullet and survived
For that from you I am despised

No one understands this love
They have to be told it in stories to learn
But a certain neighbourhood ruined the message
Twisting it to their own financial gain

Watch and observe the theft of these words
It takes all kinds as they never care
Credit to God is never given
Despite the glories by God granted

I have no shame in living a life
In likeness to His including strife
So crucify me by your silence or your hate
I will then die the same death and fate

Only to be raised from the dead
For Death’s power was destroyed long ago
Opening wide the doors to new life in love
Calling us back to Him and our Heavenly Home

So go to Him giving your thanks
No matter where you are in the ranks

If I daydream I can always see you
Go on adventures and enjoy love that’s true
To come back with nothing to show for it
A journey of a thousands lifetimes I can do
But none of it is worth it without you
So here I can bring you along
But out there I would lose you to a throng
I wonder if the daydreams are real
Perhaps in a parallel universe so surreal
The power to create worlds in a blink
As I created and first sent this without any ink
For I used to daydream of the day
So I again I wonder what to say
With you in so many of these dreams
We would then be bound to cross paths it seems
Even if I do nothing
As I ought not to do just anything
I ought to do what is right
But everyone else always gets in a fight

It is for the Resurrection we hunger
It is for the love that lingers
It is the new life that comes
Through Him with Him and in Him

Never been in a real fight
Everyone feared me
For reasons only suspected
But now I know why

I am not supposed to know
But I look in the mirror
And only see horror
This is why I have no friends

It is like a curse but it is not
Everyone fears the one
Who destroyed death
With but a flutter of His eyelids

It was death that met his demise
It was a complete annihilation
Death never stood a chance
There was not even a bloody fight

I felt the love of God flow through me
Like a conduit fully charged
Knowing it was Christ in my place throughout
With such power He has no match on Earth

I say these things that you may believe
In the one who sent me for He and I are one
Though we are not the same
It is Him who can make it not rain

I thank the Lord for everything
His bountiful goodness prevails
I speak by experience
Faith in exchange for all
By love we are formed
By death we are born
Into new life and love

Her beauty set out before her
Setting the stage for someone greater
Her voice carried like the wind
Going every which way unseen

Your songs soothe the pain
They sometimes take me away
An escape so to speak
Entering into peace
Despite the deepest pain
Being always there to sustain
It is amazing what God can do
With what was already said and done
His love overcomes and then some
Then what I see is that which spans all time
Is what God allows in this state we are in
Between You and I
I love you like no other
This Love I could not smother
So much I have written
Thousands I have kept hidden
Cause most of it sounds ridiculous
And it probably is
As is the rest of my works
But I am but a little one
Witnessing everything until the very end

In my heart is an underlying unending prayer
Of love for those who have nothing at all
I have a plan and hope it goes through
In the hands of the Spirit my message goes
So from you
All I ask is for your prayers
His will be done. Amen.

I should know better
When it comes to this
A troubled heart to start
Wish you could be
My love forever, see?
But as it is, I cannot
Not even distraught
But a loss is a loss
Which is my pain to gain

I never wanted to let you go
But as it is, you never loved me back
That’s okay I still am in love with you
There is not anything you can do
Here, my love is everything and true
You can tear me to pieces, I do not mind
I would rather it be you, honestly
