Shine On

As the days go by
and memories fade away
the lights still shine on
forever and a day

piercing the hearts
that darkness holds dear
and lighting the way
as He draws them near

Revealing the lies
of a moon oh so gory
by raising the Son
in everlasting glory

More Poetry from the past

What can I do?

Oh what can I do
why can’t I wait
to come home and see you father
Cuz time seems so slow
and your mercy so great
Oh what can I do
to get just a taste

The world has turned you down
yet you hold back your fire
till the last one gives you
thier heart and thier soul
But I’m just a man
with patience so thin
To stay any longer
its as if I will break

For a man’s sin
has destroyed the endurance within
I am exhausted and wasted
by things of this world
Only in You
can I make it through
to see the day
when you show your face
to the world thats all against you

O what have I done

I can’t take it back

I’ve spit in your face

and thats just a fact

O look what you did

to bring me into the fold

yet you still forgive

when I cast off your mold

O what can I do

to give myself up

obey what you say

and drink from your cup

Conflict

The battle within rages on without sounds
While the light should win darkness abounds
And as the tormented mind is ripped into pieces
as it arrives at a most disturbing thesis
“If to live is Christ and to die is gain,
then why deal with all this worthless pain?”
But just as the darkness comes to overwelm
your grip is lost and Christ takes the helm
and as you feel His love drawing you near
you realize there’s a reason you’re still here
While the world just wants you nullified
God demands that He be glorified

They’re past the point of no return,
In the darkness they now must burn

‘Cause when told to share His holy light,
We all turned tail and took flight.

Now their blood is on our hands,
the ones that we once called friends

And what could be the reason
for such an act of treason?

We exchanged what was written
for what it took to fit in

Old Poetry from younger days

It just won’t fade

What if the feelings wont fade away
WHat if they if they just intensify
as time goes by
What if yuor thoughts wont stay straight
always wondering on ones fate

Am I destined for you?
Cause I dont know what todo
I am lost and alone
in a world that is unknown
But I gave my heart away,
For nothing? who can say
But what options do I explore?
Look for pity? or a whore?
Why cant I let go
of this feeling inside
Why cant I move on
and just push it aside

Oh what is this wound
in my heart I can feel
its tearing to shreds
All I am within

The Noose

As I pull away
You pull me tighter
You have shielded us for years
from pain and sorrow
But without these do we live?
or just exist without a clue
Till the day the world
shows us something new
and everytime you pull back
the air supplies cut shorter
as the noose chokes the life from us

prisons

They put us all in prisons
Prisons of the mind
the traps of education
to dull the wit of all
The walls they build up high is it tragedy to fall?
Whats the tragedy they mourn for
was it the loss of life
or the prisons they loved more
The drugs they use to hold us
keeping us in line
Conformity it molds us
and to break it is a crime
like animals they herd us
waiting for the slaughter
If the mind is so dangerous
who’s safe with anyone
is safe really alive
How knowledge binds us
Constricts us Conforms us
are there any still who are wise?
