A Heart of Sorrow

A heart of sorrow

Which cannot be repaired

Lost in life’s silent ache

Burns holes in my memory.

Faded recollections

Warm waves come in a flood

A future burnt in ruins

Caressing a sweet tomorrow.

Long time holding on

Velvet ribbons cradle my soul

A silver cross hides despair

Silently healing a breaking heart.

Truth that grasps sadness

Surely calms a troubled brow

Fluent words softly spoken

Quietly brings help and comfort.

Peace poured out in a flood

Love through eternal splendor

Joy sublime in endless giving

A deluge of drowning grace.

The Ark

Strike the iron and split creations seed,

with force and power that divides, build the

ship that will herald the breath of promise.

Hammer the nails without restraint, drive them

home, tear into ancient veins wrought by time,

Join each worked piece into redemptions frame.

Silent falls the beating rain, drops of wrath

drip down as divine grief greets mankind, in

a gradual dance of agony and pain.

Tainted flesh is swept away engulfed, in

a stream of judgment, the heart of anguish

slowly bleeds, mercy poured out from heaven.

Crucify the plan with hate and lies, nail

his bruised and bleeding body to the tree

made with sweat into the shape of a cross.

Hung in contempt and polluted with sin,

a harvest of pain hidden within flesh,

drowning in a flood of eternal wrath.

The eradication of sins stain, the

final nail driven into a willing soul,

to defeat all that malice held sacred.

Rescued from the poured out anger, granted

life where once was death, a triumph of the

grace given to the undeserving victim. 

Awaken

Awaken my mind to the spirit

Aware of Christ’s life on the inside

Not just my thoughts

Emotions

Reason

Logic

Knowledge

The influences of the natural world.

Change the perspective to my re-born spirit

Walk in closeness with Christ’s presence

Grace

Hope

Faith

Love

The consciousness of the spirit’s realm.

Falling In Love

Sip the wine as it kisses my lips, that

dance of delight which entices my heart,

drunk on the feelings of unrestrained joy

The pure wind of heaven captivates, a

glimpse of wonder, a touch of the divine

which quiets the warning voices that ravage.

Strike the nails that piece deep into my skin,

in a fragrant myrrh of passion and pain,

that draws me deeper into your embrace.

Satisfy my gloom and anguish, now fill

the desperate need of acceptance, a

touch, a connection filled with affection.

Enticed into an extravagant duet,

offered a chalice of touch and glances,

to drink the pure wine of loves sacrifice

Without restraint take me captive, submerge

into fathomless depths of buoyant love,

bring liberty to free a condemned soul

Breathe in your presence and savor the blood

written into my heart, the glass of your

fondness induces me to come inside

A waltz of discovery where all is

lost on a journey of hope to a far

distant land, following my forlorn heart

Hold me with your gaze, sweetly blow away

clouds of oppression, release us into

the swift stream of undiluted desire.

By Mametz

A Bitter PIll

A bitter pill given takes away my breath

Inherited nature leads me to my death

Every moment lived drives me to my fate.

A hopeless void engulfs my vacant heart

As fear wells up consuming every part

And deep inside my heart cries out forlorn.

Somehow I know there is an answer

A rescue from the trap of life’s cancer

A cry of hope in my desperation.

Your blood poured out for my redemption

Deaths reign now ended by your resurrection

The sting of death eternally made obsolete.

Hope now fills my heart as I realize

That my mortal body will one day rise

And death will have no more hold on me.

Mametz

Lighthouse

The Keeper waits at the edge of the world,

as he knots his nets of starlight and air.

He watches and works and waits for the girl.

The one who charts the edge of this world.

Skating the edge, sharp bladed, she swirls.

He hears in her movement the breath of despair.

She makes her last turn and launches, midair

into madness

her sanity unfurls

into madness

her lunatic plunge.

Universe explodes pierced by radiant nets.

His scarred hands unfurl in their shattering pain.

The Keeper waits at the edge of the world.

Waiting, tear stained, for the girl.

Through space

starlight rushes.

She plummets

free-falls.

Will star nets contain her?

Suspended, she cries.

How will I chart the edge of this world

now that I've fallen off?

The Oil of your Word

The oil of your word

Drips through my hands, anointing me

Your sweet aroma

Floods through my senses, filling me

Embraced with you love, releasing me.

The wave of your spirit

Pours through my life, changing me

Your divine power

Pierces through my soul, healing me

Filled with your fullness, transforming me.

The realm of your glory

Breaks through my being, connecting me

A river of blessing

Flows through my all, enabling me

Released with your grace, embracing me.
