As the world spins around me...

I'll just start off with one of my first poems I suppose...

Life is a journey,
While all the world's a stage,
To take the wrong turn,
To feel the Master's rage.
I give my soul to a feeling
Repentance my only fear
I somehow know you're recieving.
I somehow know you're near...


Just as a side note to readers...
These poems, although depressing at times...are my ways to vent. In no way d they always mean what they say...

Struggling in a world of sorrow,
Reaching for a light I cannot see
Searching for a new Tomorrow
Searching for a new eternity...

Like Samuel who heard the Calling,
Each of us has felt the longing
Of a life as someone free.
Carry me.
Me.

Hanging on the cross,
Bleeding for the lost
Iron nails in His hands
See the blood he shed
Thorns upon his head
See the bloo he shed for you and me...


Obviously, this isn't all of it.
I'll update as i get more...

Ok. Update. The things in BOLD are the things I have added...

Struggling in a world of sorrow,
Reaching for a light I cannot see
Searching for a new Tomorrow
Searching for a new eternity...

Tiring of this twisted nightmare
Life beholds nothing for me
Death surrounds all that this world is
But in the storms you carry me

You became the savior of a million souls
You came down to us so that the world may know
Then atop that bloody hill your love you showed

You died for us that day
So that the world may see
The errors in our ways
You came and bled, and rose again
So that the world may see

In a little church I found you
Crying on a bended knee that night
In the dark you opened my eyes
Opened my eyes so I saw your light


Like Samuel who heard the Calling,
Each of us has felt the longing
Of a life as someone free.
Carry me.
Me.

Hanging on the cross,
Bleeding for the lost
Iron nails in His hands
See the blood he shed
Thorns upon his head
See the blood he shed for you and me...


This still isn't all...I'll keep the updates coming...

Thanks a bunch!

For some reason my poetry notebook is missing. That makes me mad. Here's another song...that my sis likes a lot. She always requests it when I do worship service...

I see the crystal beauty of the sea
I see the works of your love around me
Looking out over the rollng hills
Lord your wonders they amaze me still

The mountains silver peaks
All of this beauty speaks
of your love
Oh! How I love you!

Listen to the ocean's roar,
The silence of the day before
the morning rises and the songbirds wake
Rain wash away my tears
I know I can find you here
and I know
You're always near
Always near

I love the golden tree leaves of the fall
The lonely wolf's mournful call'
Watching the sun set, around me
There's no other place that I'd rather be

The mountains silver peaks
All of this beauty speaks
of your love
Oh! How I love you!

Listen to the ocean's roar,
The silence of the day before
the morning rises and the songbirds wake
Rain wash away my tears
I know I can find you here
and I know
You're always near
Always near


There ya go!

Another one!

Here's one I wrote today...
And I found my notebook!


Living outside existence
Merely breathing to survive
Praying for a brief recompense
For a sinner still alive

If the world stops moving
Around this sphere of flame
Have I yet a disproving
Of an everlasting name?

Blood drops as deep as death
Dripping from the tree
The innocent is left
Blood for eternity

Show us how to love you
Guide our hearts with song
Teach us of your love: true.
Forgive our every wrong.

Ok. These are kinda corny...because I wrote them a long time ago. so...


Last night we danced
We danced under the stars
And the black night, the moon enhanced
The air was still, and silent.
All but the crickets singing

Last night we danced
And I can't describe
The feeling, the way
That you fit into my arms
As we danced that way

Last night we danced
And you rested your head
On my shoulder
The dance I never wanted to end
But the air grows colder

Last night we danced
But it ended too soon
And before you left
i got to Kiss you
Underneath the moon


Yeah. I know. Cheesy. Sorry...

Yeah. I understand.
It's all about the rules
i know your games
i know the way to play
show me your best
show me your worst
i can take the pains
i know how it feels
i know how the blood flows
i know how the pain goes
don't cry anymore

Thanks Karin.


Lying in the depth of night
Crying in the darkness
Serving not a force of Light
Living in the darkness
You still cannot hear despite
My screaming in the darkness

Blood drips from my heavy wounds
Lying in the darkness
Searching for another clue
Hunting in the darkness
Living not because of you
But dying for the darkness

Lift my chin wash my tears
Cast away the darkness
Heal the scars of recent years
Bring me from the darkness
Delve deep into my hardest fears
Burn them with the darkness

Yet there is hope in every life
Joy in the fleeing Darkness

Oh boy. That one was good i thought...
and...maybe not...


Let the tide wash over me
Give me a decent elegy
Tell the people of my simple story
Show them my little beauty

But
Don't show them the scars
The blood stains engraved in my skin
Don't show what I was
As a hermit within

Don't sing them my song
of failure and pain
Don't say "it wasn't long,
before he fell to shame"

Don't let them see marks
my weary hand carved
with a blade of remorse
on my covered arms

So
What do you say?
To an faceless, sad crowd
When the one that they loved
became much too proud?

What do you say?
about his short life
and who do you tell
about that damned knife?

Maybe
The throng just won't ask
Perhaps they'll never know
About my dull mask
and my light-hearted show

Then again
Time just might heal
my slashes of shame
one day i might feel
As a child once again

Screams
In the night
I look around for the source
Blood
Dripping off
Cut not long before
Who
Is crying
Aloud for someone
Why
Are they here?
What do they want?
Wait
Is it me?
Is it my misery?
Stop
Let it go
I wish it could be
Live
Why should I
The pain never stopped

Bleed
Does it hurt
Tell me it can't
Cut
Did I flirt
With death once again?
Black
Surrounds me
I fall to the floor

Where
Am I now
Where was I before
Start
Renew this
Cycle of pain

Beginning to end
A circle of pain
Without my consent
The hurt starts again
Tell me it's gone
Lie to me once more
I still haven't found
That glorious door

The haze blinds me
My eyes cannot see
The feelings entwining
A spirit that's free
Once again they come
These marks on my arm
I wander alone
And sing of my scars
