I Wish I Was There

I wish that I was there…
There to the Lord in all his glory,
The final sacrifice on the cross
Out on Mount Calvary.

I wish that I was there…
There to witness the blood pour all left
Righteously into the Earth saving us
Out of Jesus himself.

I wish that I was there…
There to hear Mary cry out her heart,
And Simon deny him three times
Out in the courtyard.

I wish I was there too
I wish that I was there…

Silence

Sometimes it makes a relationship,
sometimes it breaks a relationship,
sometimes leads to confusion,
sometimes leads to self realization,
acts as answer for few questions,
signifies danger sometimes,
silence the most powerful weapon of all times.

Listen!!

Listen!

My heart is breaking into two
bleeding all my love for you.
Stabbed by blades of treachery
I wept for the loss of harmony

Listen!

The silence screaming between us
our hope crumbling into dust
When the old pride cry in shame,
my hurting soul cursed your name

Listen!

The joy I held cracking in despair
The lament of a spirit stripped bare.
begging to be freed from lies
and the home where love dies

Nostalgia

Sunset bruised along Fifth Avenue,
staining red
the crumbling ruin
of apartment building

from its cool shadow
came a woman
worn face wearing
too many men
and too much
of their hunger

She caught my gaze
as I strolled by,
dark eyes cold with business
making her desire
a mask of barrier
against all real emotion

Who are you or me??

Even the sun will die
What of RA then I ask
Will the folding of the universe be destructive
"It is mine, I can do it if I need to".
Spit out that evolution it is there each day,
you can't run from its bite

"Oh did you stop evolving??"
Shit I forgot to give you an inkling of my plan,
Fear not you can join the energy of the universe,
there you can become anything you think to be,
but at some time remember me.
An entity that the humons ran out of ideas for.

Crazed Belief

Sickened with anger
Riddled with rage
Where are the values? The loyalty?
Erased with youth and corrupt minds
How can I belong when my mind is so different?
Different to who they are
Different to how they see
There is no 'we', only I
For only I can truly plea for change
Only I can conjure my own faith
Through my eyes, they are all deranged

As I Enjoyed the Morning; With Coffee

There are times when I stop for a moment
and sip at the day as if it were new
and I have just discovered something rare
and beautiful right at my fingertips.

It is a reminder that tragedy
or happiness cannot define who I am,
they can only flavour the decisions
and choices I show the disparate world.

Because life is not that complicated;
we merely need to remember to breathe
and try to leave more kindness than we take
and bring more smiles to complete strangers.

Divinity Nuptials

When the sky's azureness
goes dark,
it's divinity party time;
the sun is wedded to the moon.

Candles on,
stars in billions outshone.

ether

whetstone slips
oiled motions hypnotic
the seconds weighted
flung in steady clockwork

a clasp undone
a mechanism wound
taught and crafted perfect

laughter through the dark
floor above
a green sheen dancing
beyond the curtains
beyond the hazed eyes
dreaming
a black vortex mouth
caught in the feeble light
escaping into night
brushing on the cedars
slipping limber from the
warm nigh winds
shivering in gusts
like a beast awakening

Confusion

The troubled mind
seeking solitude
amidst a vast multitude,
an array of thoughts
culminate into a juxtaposition
where to emerge
remains a vision
nay confusion,
ere the sun drowns beneath the ocean
time envelopes insanity
man remains silent
in remorseful vanity
Alas!
