Surrounded by evil masquerading
Catchy and tricky beyond saving
Like a lily among the thorns
Only noticed with stuck horns
So I reached out with my hands
Replanted that lily to fertile lands
No longer choked by absent grace
But with that sunshine on her face
Am nobody for a reason
Tis to show you the season
So that you may finally see
How close to the end are we?
There are some foul spirits at work
Their putrescence is their essence
So easy to spot them and their misdeeds
But denial comes in waves
Teach me your ways of love
And I will show you mine
Let me stand next to you
So that I do not look like a fool
Tommorrow brings hope
Today I am that hope alive
Yesterday I am gone
Looking forward instead of back
I have not forgotten you
Only what it is that you do
To me that hurts time and time again
So I forget it as I would a sprain
Got this war in my mind
An intense battle you would find
Between those places
After all your beautiful faces
Tearing me apart without any traces
Bring me close
Just the right dose
Of love in company
Keeping you with me
Oh how I pray you will see
I know that your secret
Is not really a secret
So what matters to most
Is what you do to seek it
The truth as you see it
Will you live forever?
Will you die like the dust?
Both are true
Which place you choose
Clearly defines you
No fame for me
No fate for me
Until after I am gone
To Return with the Lord
Been saying it forever
This love will never sever
All my life
Lived in strife
Sacrificed inheritance
To love the deep
Deep dark pools
Of eyes watching me
Filled with sound light
Emanating like those dreams
Nothing is as is seems
Your joy is my joy
But I am stuck to you
Don’t rip me off
Love is my devotion
To you and to those
Whom I love with all my heart
I could say it any other way
I am now reaching the thousands
In all those different ways
Reaching out despite me
Even been called Moses
So here are your roses
Can you hear the ringing?
The bells that are singing?
Better to proclaim than claim
Your heart, do I aim
Your music danced in my heart
Flights of fantasy emerge
Wondering what to do
But say I love you
For it lifts my soul
Delights my spirit
Tag, I think you are it
I peered deep into my own heart
Saw a light that shone so bright
Your love inside
Exposed and vulnerable
The strongest kind
Saw myself surrounded by Hell
But crosslegged on the ground
Filled with sound light
A halo filled with Love
Breaking through the darkness
With a glimmer from a sword
What is the final word?
No one reaches out
Left with a feeling
That they will forget me
Until I am gone
Then it will be too late
Assuming I am fine on my own
Truth is
I am not fine
For now I shake the earth
To crumble mountains
Like dust they lay low
At my very command
You have forced my hand
Did you know
Your love affects me so?
So very much indeed
Break not this bruised reed
Held close to the end
Despite the difference I send
Love in the darkest of places
Seeing all those lost faces
My Heart is on Fire
This Love that burns
Never fades
But can increase
As it does
When I think of you and pray
I have sunk to a new low
In this dungeon do I grow
Feeling isolated and invisible
Love that is indivisible
No one visited me when I was sick
No one visited me when I was in prison
No one visited me when I was not
And you wonder why you are divided
Your wish to squash me where I stand
You have got nothing on me
My innocence and guilt you see
Praised and forgiven
Found love even in the darkest of places
Choked by the thistles
I saw a flower with such divine beauty
Survive the onslaught of lies
I turned and I walked away
From those whom I love
Not out of rejection
But out of protection
Desiring love from all kinds
Unconditionally finds
The wasted and sinful
Dropping hearts with sorrow
My halo you can borrow
Got no other inkling besides
Love is not what divides
So if you find yourself divided
Act out of love, try it!
You’ll be surprised, you’ll like it!
