take my hand

Take my hand
Let me lead
Follow me
Stem the bleed
Salted tears
Quietly
Fall from grace
Will you heed
Pious love
Testify
At his feet
Angels rise
Stolen life
Rising tides
Swollen, the
River rides
Hear my voice
Sing with me
Brave new world
Simply breathe
Close your eyes
Walk with me

Fleeting

Happiness is
Fleeting, still I
Tried. Loving you
Despite your lies
Thought I mattered
Your alibis
The games you played
Still I remained
Flowers, baubles
Sweet your kisses
Late night whispers
Your delicious
Was suspicious
Tell me darling
Why now goodbye?
The rules have changed
Tainted this ride
Queen of pretence
Make believe life
Fairy tale love
My life sentence
Build your castle
A new princess
Your empty words
False overtures
Stealing my mind
One final time
Insanity
Still I am here
On bended knee
Begging, pleading
To mean something
Anything please
Happiness is
Fleeting really
Make your mistakes
Never look back
It’s much too late

Moonshadow

Moonshadow shelter
Help me find my way
Blessed is the night star
Bringing light to Faith

Sweet perfumed waters
Rising from the floor
Bring home our sailors
Keep them safe and warm

Rise the eager sun
Breaking a new day
Dawn at last wakens
I have found my way

***

Ordinary Day

An ordinary day
All of my raging and
Railing against this storm
Air heavy with gloom, I
Lay still upon the wood
Strangled neath the grey calm
Tongue thick with screams unheard
Lonely, my gaze falls like tears
Whispers this errant voice
Soothing me. Wishing to be
Free from my flesh and bones
Inside this carcass, death
Prey to this sorrow that
Forces me to my knees
Pray to the God of light
Cast your shadows on me
Warm is the blood that stains
These hands. Draining from me
This ordinary day
