Forsaken

You captured my heart
Filled with love from the start
Leave me not in this wasteland of dreams
Lift my pathetically beaten body
From the ditches of the forsaken
Matters not what happens to me
I have seen where I have been
Where I am
And where I shall be
Always

Left my tears to irrigate the soil
Leaving only seeds of love behind
To all I have met and shall meet
So bless you on your way
I have not much more to say

Toward

Left the beat to the bass
Breaking the sound barriers
Her voice carries me far
Toward her light filled heart

I would give it all up
To feel her love next to mine
She fought the good fight
With hope growing joy profound

Compounded

Surrounded and compounded
Ready to raise the dead
Let go of that feeling
You got me reeling

Shook up and ill disposed
Standing ground and imposed
Burning desires felt from above
Everything built on love

In my hands a wonder
Not some worthless blunder
Going to burn some more
Watch it turn to lore

Renegade

Goodness comes while in flight
Wanting to put up a fight
Got the renegade blues
Dancing in these shoes

Swirling round the clock
Your eyes I want to lock
To make a grand entrance
Passing by those in a trance

So hear what I want to say
Death comes to your dismay
Faltering desires while you play
Believing in the right of way

Worry not over your own head
Rather displace your fears, I said
Entering into the light of salvation
Riveting every nation

Gently

In a world full of lies
The privileged live their lives
Never wondering what Truth will do
To every lie they ensue

For by Truth Justice prevails
Like the balm that ails
Must be applied in effect
To heal until perfect

Emptiness

Eternal Emptiness is revealed
A perfect Nothing
For Him to fill it with Light
Is my purpose in life

So my light and my love
Is His one and the same
Forever and ever
The same can be yours

So keep listening to your Heart
Know it is love that compels
Nothing can stop what you cannot see
See the Light from the Fire

Dark

What I said was in the darkness
Does not mean what I said was dark
Rather especially toward revealing the light
The one love that is true

But when I spoke in the darkness
The Word became the light
Filling up so ever bright
Making everything sound and right

People believe because they are free
Without imposing those beliefs
Progress is made towards a true life
Preparing to see His Holy Face alright

Gist

Friendships and ventures
More than just adventures
Memories of meaning
Love deeply teeming

Others like to twist
Truth no longer the gist
Resorting to crashing and bashing
Like a frightened cornered thing

But mercy absolves the sinner
Granted by God and me together
Come to us as you are
To Heaven you are not far

Repeat

Put your song on repeat
Looking for something to defeat
Found your pride as big as your head
Poured out all my love instead

When will you be
That which you see
That which you dream
That light to beam

Take these brief expressions
Open up in those sessions
Grant favours to the unfavoured
A possibility untethered

Bait

Your style of ignorance breeds hate
I even tried to set some bait
Should have used a net
To capture from you anything I can get

Otherwise I am left to nothing
Definitely not just some thing
Rather an interested lost entity
I wish my riches were not so empty

Though I found a secret
No gold will you need to get
For the treasure that’s found
Is greater than anything sound

Imperfections

I’ve got blurry eyes
Which is not really blind
Just different perspective
Up close I can see imperfections
Which are really not imperfections
Just different in perfection
The heart is the same
One in love and ready the same
