Trial and Error.

29 03 2009

Warbling off course,
these notes are turned sour.
The solo has no key,
And the orchestra is gone.
If our efforts be vain,
At least we fired a shot.

Blown chance at greatness–
I doubt it will return.
So I silence my cries,
And retreat to the reruns.
Am I truly done,
or is this a new plot?

Infernus Infinitum

24 03 2009

Scorching heat brings souls to their knees
This is the price of rejecting love.
Worse than the stings of a million bees,
Is the pain of the Lake called Inferno.

I see such a beast writhing in torture,
Did he really make the nations tremble?
His curious boyfriend is there as well,
Failing miserably in their venture.

The world is full of inexorable light.
Evil is finally locked in fright.
The smoke arises before us forever,
From the Lake that is called Inferno.

The Pilgrim- A New Journey

22 03 2009

I have not decided yet if this story is going to be a recurring character or not.  I like the opening story, and this may become a habit.  If it does come up again, I’ll make sure to keep them numbered for you all. Read the rest of this entry »





Blood Brothers.

18 03 2009

A broken glass in empty cupboard-
Shattered dreams in lost memory.
Hallowed refrain sings of a name
That echoes for all eternity.

Blood drop suspended in space-
Winning forever the human race.
Modern minds will miss the signs,
The world screams to conclusion.

I see a man stretched out-
Hands and feet pinned to tree.
Darkness falls to answer a call
For bretheren won through pain.

Through suffering came perfection-
In blood a holy nation was born.
World without border outside order,
Announcing an end to normality.

Trample this dust under procession-
Imminent return for a conqueror.
Kiss the Son for He is the One
That will decide everyone’s fate.

Falling…

17 03 2009

Feel the wind about your face,
See the ground approaching quickly.
This is not a great disgrace,
But good luck getting down easy.

When taking a leap of faith,
We question not the how or why.
Even if our lives be waste,
We wonder only how the end will sound.

Come waste a while with me,
Life is short and the end is soon.
We’ll have muffins and maybe tea,
And at the last we will slumber together.

A broken record sings softly,
A dark choir gives voice to love.
Words I hear are lovely mostly,
Or am I enchanted by merely a voice?

Paper Shredder

11 03 2009

Carry me away,
Beyond the page,
To a world that’s really real.

Where foundations shake
The earth quakes,
Hearts roar with exhilaration.

Break the wall,
From the Fall,
And sing in eternal Spring.

Kingdom come,
Follow the Son,
And bask in His sweet embrace.

Martyr’s Prayer.

8 03 2009

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord this world to shake.

Hear the screams of saints arise,
Those of whom the world despised.
When will You see our hands upraised?
Yet either way Your name is praised.

Now do I sing of your name,
and ask you now to heal the lame.
Bring the kingdom to this old earth
And save for us what is of worth.

Now I see a gleaming knife,
The guards have come to take my life.
A few days more till the return,
Tis true this world will so soon burn.

The Anti-Hero

4 03 2009

White flags crush our hopes–
A commitment broken on the rocks.
In zeal we thought we could fight,
But instead we turn and so run.
I see a deliverer on the horizon-
A robe dyed red with victim’s blood.

Smash this wall to pebbles
Leave nothing to build with.
My zeal seems to get me nowhere,
What I need is someone who loves.
I know that I don’t run alone,
But sometimes I wish I could see them.

And so does my flag run red,
All tattered- swaying in the wind.
No Alamo-like clarion call,
I doubt I will be remembered.
But at the end of all things,
My victory is somewhat assured.

Indestructible?

1 03 2009

I sing of shattered bowls,
broken wheels and
dead men’s bones.
At the end of the day
What have I foretold?

“You can take my life
but not my soul,
For it is my own.
After the dust clears
Will you have a song?”

“Take of me if you dare.
Few have tried
Less succeed.
Unless you have a key,
You will not hurt me.”

Haughty spirit of seduction,
singing siren and
Dark empty cistern.
Confidence and pride it seems,
Are mere shades apart.
