Dead I am to thee yet I live on
Truth will come like the dawn
Dreamt it was you who came through
And found out your love was really true
I do not see it all with my sight
So I rely completely on His might
Taking me places I never thought was real
And I found in my hand a broken seal
Nobody calls me up just to say Hi
Nobody is interested because they are all high
And the ones that are not, resent me
I know what I had to do to break free
Their grasp on me they thought was a hold
To stop me from bringing the lost into the fold
For my path is not forged by the dead
But by the Lord God before me like I said
You are being like something in the way
Living like a fish with a tail to sway
Frightened at every ebb and flow
You would too, if you knew what I know
Not too many make the cut
Just the way it is, don’t mean to strut
Got goosebumps thinking ‘bout ya
Got certain love you never ever saw
Most certainly my works never get an encore
Nobody wants what a prophet has in store
So I just carry on with a heavy heart
Loving you more than since the very start
I left you alone but you invited me back
Do not ask me how I knew but intuition I do not lack
At the wave of my hand the clouds departed
Ending the dispute that somebody started
My dreams died with me when I passed
Lived a life with love that will outlast
Any evil done against me
Time is my companion and I am free
Though I was dead by her hand
I forgave her then she put her head in the sand
I want her love to permeate my entire being
Nobody understands this love that I am seeing
Her choice to reject all that is me hurts like a blade
Got nothing to show for it or anyone to blame
They all thought I was not worth their time
Little did they expect me to turn on a dime
My prayer is this, I plead before our Lord
That I do not fall into the power of the sword
To fight using prayer as a weapon
All hearts calling the Lord to beckon
For He truly calls us to Him
Remember He Loves beyond the brim
As I slowly fade away due to age
Looking with light in my eyes, I am no sage
I look for you and your love that is beyond
Waiting patiently for you to respond
Filling the chasm between us with solid ground
Enticing you to pour out love that is sound
Lord, let my tears be shown to entice Your mercy
Over a many people lost to the world no one can see
My heart always bleeding over this and I will die
And let myself go with a breath and a sigh
Looking back I am the one who squandered it all
Paid my penance and forgiven after the fall
Now I live in darkness to bring the light
But has nothing to do with any fight
You showed your true self, I saw
You live in your heart by your own law
Never mind me in the ditch bleeding and raw
Covering me up like I am some flaw
In the guise of being helpful and kind
An added suffering and to Hell they like to bind
Lies and fear are how they rule
Turning you into somebody’s fool
Your hatred against me is obvious
Thinking that I might be oblivious
When all I did was be God’s mouthpiece
Speaking the truth to bring about peace
But disbelief drowns your true senses
And then they build up these stupendous fences
Isolating themselves from the rest
Feeling like it is for the best
My anger justifies the hand of God to strike
Indeed through nature by something you do not like
The wind and storm by the fire and flame
It is in the deep waters that we are tame
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
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
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
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
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
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
I journeyed over thousands of years to find you
Beyond the dead, who walk the earth, I flew
Last time I was close but this time it’s different
Here I struggle and have to pay the rent
I heard the cry of the lonely hearts amidst mine
And there you are so perfect and oh so fine
Your voice pries open my vulnerable heart
To expose the reality of love I impart
My powers over the world are meant to be hidden
While the acts of glory are not forbidden
I venture on beyond your reality
And dole out peace and tranquility
With every heartbeat of mine it is all for you
From treacherous waters and lands I pursue
Living a life not my own and so much I have endured
I have reserved my tears for you to be cured
I touch the pain without a knife
And reality sets in, into my life
I bear it all to save the whole lot
From death, from pain, from all they’ve got
I do not understand why your silence rings
Louder than a bell and your absence stings
With you I can be myself instead of dying
To live on is not a matter of trying
I have survived enough rounds
I know how it sounds
To know the truth I see
That here I cannot be me
Is my loneliness my own fault?
I still have the comfort of my Lord’s vault
Regardless of rank and score
No money I have and more
I never wanted things to go the way they did
But that’s the cost of freedom that slid
Pushed around and bullied to do their will
When they forgot the power of love behind a till
Things will go the way I foresaw
Worse than Sodom and Gomorrah
Our freedom is shared amongst us all
So you are pulling me down while you fall
I was scorned by you the other day
With such disdain did it totally portray
What you loathe must make you writhe
Is something that you cannot tithe
When things are in motion I make waves
The ripple effect leading to raves
Oh the ultimate glory for God is here
To Heaven all along did I steer
I am a wretch of all things
But God bowed down and gave me wings
To Him I sing out of love and out of tune
But to Him it’s more beautiful than the moon
I care not that people might stare
I have been there before I can compare
A whole audience riveted by fear
Only I told them what they needed to hear
Now my anger wells up within me
Who am I to you, how do I compare to thee?
I only want love to sustain what we had
Only you think it is horrible and bad
So I let the beauty of love and joy
Play against some sinister ploy
But the Lord has protected me this long
What makes you think you can come along?
As this body ages away and I lose my mind
My self and my identity left behind
I am forgetting things in one moment
Obscurity, if this continues I am meant
I have let go of my self and submitted to my Lord
Placing me in His bosom and not struck by a sword
Annihilation of that which is not of Himself
Leaving behind what remains of my self
I say this because despite the afflictions
I remain standing in the Lord before the nations
My own self so unimportant but I was hallowed
Living a true life in God forever followed
My heart yearns for the fulfillment of Revelations
Requiring sacrificial and worthy oblations
But the world is in obscurity and not ready
For the Lord to come, keep my heart steady
I turn to the silence and wait my answer
An outpouring of grace unlike ever
When the grace stops, that is when
You will realize there will be no zen
I only know the truth about myself
Never to ever be put on a shelf
Justice comes for those who seek it from God
Patience pays off and then let there be laud
For the Lord God approaches me always
And I approach Him in many ways
I see Him where you do not
In a poor man, a child, the whole lot
The God that loves us does not hide
All around us is where he does reside
But like a body there is always a head and heart
I have known love every time I start
You cannot see the heart by yourself
But know there is one that bleeds like myself
Your love is what is important to me
Your love like rainbows after the rain can I see
So rise up from the dead and make your claim
The dead do not speak but it is their aim
To be lifted from the shadows and the darkness
Into the light that is marvellous
There is an unspoken gift that is always given
By the only true man and one first risen
By a certain Passion that I enter daily by my life
I walk with Him on the very edge of strife
Rhythm
I know your heartbeat as it beats the rhythm
Truth is, I am not part of some algorithm
With every tip of the hat she bellows
And lets the love she has flows
With a stream of life and joy
She persists without any ploy
To take the world by storm
Into this we are born
So hold fast and close your dream
Beyond the flavours of any ice cream
To change the world one person at a time
For the greater good and with no crime
Life lets me live in truth for you
There is nothing you need to do
But receive the love I impart
For this is just the start
I cannot sing in tune with you
I cannot sing at all, that is true
So sing it for me, I plead
Your love will always take the lead
He reminded me that I am not alone
Despite the horrors a light has shone
Prayers like incense up to the nostrils of our God
Lit up the world with more than heavenly laud
His love awards us with amazement of others
So that we cage the evil that withers
Away at the soul so do not smother
It would be better for you to call on Mother
For the saints give her praise that is due
What else do you want with your heavenly crew
My love will always remember the truth
Of a glorious endearment beyond all youth
