A Poet

A poet and my stories,
Fact and fiction both liked.
I feel I have a voice,
Whether or not I am liked.

Called

I was called to preach "The Word,"
The I became absurd.
Falling into every trap,
With a bulls-eye on my back.
I've been choked in my sleep,
By spirit beings I could see.
They would sparkle in the dark,
Then, as I whispered "Jesus",
They would depart.
I've been haunted in my dreams,
I've levitated in my bed it seems,
I've been scared all of my life,
Of the truth beneath the lies.
Still, I believe in God,
I have comfort in his Staff and Rod.
What we see is only a part,
Of a bigger puzzle-
That's been there from the start.

Delusions of Grandeur

I called myself "The Father",
I called myself "The Son".
I thought I was being worshiped,
As I stood in that Church.
With my arms lifted high,
My thoughts caught in a lie,
I'm lucky to be alive-
I died so many times.

Bag Of Bones

I saw a face in the sky,

That mirrored me.

I heard him talk,

So pleasantly.

Then he hid himself,

Where I couldn't see,

Yet still revealing his words,

And talking invisibly.

Telling me I was the "One,"

The only begotten Son.

What a fool I was to believe,

What my mind had seen.

It all seemed so real,

Yet it made me feel,

Like I was so old,

And my existence foretold.

Now I plainly see, 

That he still creeps around me,

Waiting for me to be alone,

So he can torment-

This Bag of Bones.

In The Water

Wading in the water-
Of time, precious time.
Looking back, here, and there;
How could I not despair.
Treading on the water-
Of life , O precious life.
Wondering how we die,
When so many times-
I was kept alive...
We drown.

Table For One

Floating down this bayou,
That's filled with my blood.
To a lonesome island,
With a table for one.
I light the fires in the dark,
I lay the stones beneath the arc.
I dig my grave this fateful night,
I lay my head beneath the moonlight.
I saved a penny for your thoughts,
While you wrote down your remarks.
About who I am to be,
And why this has happened to me.
So I cry again for you,
Because I know you love me too.
This heart won't stop breaking,
Now my life is yours for the taking.

Silent Cry

The shadows on the wall,

Cry out a silent cry,

For all of those innocent lives,

For all of those who died.

The atoms in the air,

Split and brought despair.

The thunder in the night,

Brings the darkest light.

Can you hear,

The mothers weeping?

Can you see,

Souls that are fleeting?

The blood is on our hands,

Of all those seeking,

Shelter from the war,

That is reaping.

We have become death,

The destroyer of worlds.

The blood in the ground,

Cries out a silent sound...

Of Innocence.

My Love Returns

My Heart cries out in my sleep,
My dreams are journey's that I keep.
In my love's castle is where I sleep,
For the years I've missed her I do weep.
She way "Watch me dance,
watch me dance in circles"
She says "My heart's for you,
My heart's for you so smile."
She returns from her travels tonight,
Her eyes are so blue and so bright.
She wraps her arms around me so tight,
With a smile she kisses me goodnight.
My Love Returns...

Transfiguration

Transfiguration...
His two prophets appeared,
The one who split the waters.
And the one who called down the fire,
Then a bright cloud appeared.
The voice of the Father,
Said "This is my Son,
In whom I am well pleased."
O' hear him, O' hear him...
His face is shining like the sun,
His garment is as white as light.
They fell to the ground,
Humbled, not proud.
Face to the dirt,
Shaken, but not hurt.
Transfiguration...

Angel Of Death

The blood covered the doors,
The blood covered their souls,
The land was plagued again,
The Angel of Death appeared for him.
And yet a hardened heart,
Kept an empire torn apart
Until freedom was pure
And the chosen secure.
The Angel of Death,
Appeared that night.
The Angel of Death,
Took the firstborn lives.
He appeared in the night,
In the sky he flies.
He's coming for you,
But, you've got the Blood.

Broken Again

A mended heart,

That had been healed.

The time it took,

To be revealed.

A love so pure,

It hid beneath,

The shadow of,

A White Dove's Wing

I broke it again,

With a cold, cold heart.

I broke it again,

I watched it crumble apart.

I watched the day,

Pass on by.

Wondering always why?

My heart broke as I cried.

I missed the chance,

For love again.

I took for granted,

My best friend.

Nobody

I ain't botherin' nobody,
So just leave me alone.
I ain't got nobody,
To leave me alone
Pay no mind,
To this mad guitar in my mind.
Help me find,
A way to come back home-
So I won't be all alone.
I won't bother nobody,
When I'm dead and gone.
Pay no mind,
To the wild pen in my hand.
The words I find,
To make insanity sound like a friend-
'Cause he's always at home.
I ain't botherin' nobody
So just leave me alone-
So I can just go on home.

The Masquerader

He was perfect in all his ways
Until pride cast him into sin.
As he fell, that bright son of dawn,
He caused the fall and soon will be gone.
He appears as an angel of light,
He can see your darkest frights
That lion, he stalks his prey,
But he will burn in Hell someday.
Watch with your eyes,
Don't be drawn away by that light,
That shines for all the world to see,
Delusion won't overtake me.
The Masquerader....
He puts his mask on,
Searching for his next pawn.
Don't let him steal your life,
The King above can step in, alright.
Take his glory,
Take his fame.
Don't let that dragon,
Put you to shame.

Lady Of Fatima

This Lady has some secrets,
The first a vision of hell,
The second a warning of war,
The third a vision of death.
She calls all to her immaculate heart,
She calls for peace and unity.
She's in the image of the Blessed Mother,
She appears here and there like no other.
Amidst the shadow of death,
The Vicar proclaims she saved his life,
He says she stayed by his side,
Now her crown is where the bullet resides.
She warns of death,
She warns of judgement,
She warns of war,
And she comes in peace....
Lady Of Fatima...
She comes in peace,
All dressed in white,
She appears for love,
And is full of light.

Weeping Blood

And she appears there,
All dressed in white.
Is this a sign of truth?
Or a sign of the times?
And the tears fall...
And the blood falls...
Do you see her weeping?
Do you see them kneeling?
Do you hear her calling?
Do yo know why she's crying?
She's Weeping Blood...

To Be Or Not To Be?

A war is coming...
Do you believe what your eyes can see?
Or is this just another reality?
It's time for the truth to be told.
What God of your heart do you uphold?
And the spirits are all around,
Some of us are lost and some are found.
Can you tell Heaven from Hell?
Can you tell the truth from a spell?
To be or not to be deceived?
Do you ever question what you believe?
Have you found the truth among the lies?
Buried deep like a treasure, don't compromise.
A war is coming..
The end is near.

The Smile

I can feel your love,
Even when you're not here.
I can hear it in your voice,
The smile that hides the fear.
Hot and cold it seems to be,
This heart changing inside of me.
Everyday is love or pain,
Nothing will ever be the same.
Can we heal this broken love,
With a miracle from above?
Hope is such a precious thing,
Within it, lies everything.
My dreams, my love, my fears,
Through all of these, are my tears-
For you.

The Door Of My Heart

So now you want my heart,
After you tore it apart.
So now you want my love,
Like an angel sent from above.
Should I open the door,
and let you back in?
When I tried so hard,
To be with you again.
And when you told me no,
My heart had no place to go-
Nothing to complete that part,
Of the true love we had at the start.
Like salt upon my wounds,
I cried and cried for you.
Now that the scars have healed,
What am I supposed to do?

Saying Goodbye

It's so hard to say goodbye,

Through the tears that we cry.

To someone we love so deep,

To someone we want to keep.

We will meet again, 

We don't know how or when,

But the hope in our hearts,

Will never keep us apart.

We remember the love,

That burns in our hearts,

We forget all the pain,

That keeps us apart.

To Say Goodbye

If I had to say goodbye,
I'd say it with a smile.
'Cause I've lived all I could,
And went the extra mile.

I Cried The Love Out of Me

Ready to give up,
Nobody understands,
The truth is a hard thing,
When you know not what it is.
Waiting for that train to Heaven,
Sitting here with my ticket-
At the rest stop near hell.
Why oh, why do I fall?
I say I have it all.
Yet I feel fake but free-
'Cause I cried all the love out of me.
