Self Condemned.

The sound of silence echoing,
beneath an unforgiving sky.
This is the place of reckoning.
All my past sins parading by.

I am abandoned and alone.
As I know I deserve to be.
Is there no way I can atone
for things I did unthinkingly?

Must I endure this misery
behind the walls which I have built.
Condemned to watch eternally
the evidence of my past guilt.

But love can reach you even there
Love can absolve you of your sin
and rescue you from black despair.
But first you must invite love in.

Love holds the key to set you free
from self imposed imprisonment.
Accept love unconditionally.
Release from your predicament.

You’re not as guilty as you feel.
You are no worse than other men
Why should you then try to conceal
your guilt.. It’s Time to start again.

Absorb the lessons from the past
Resolve this time you’ll get right
and in due course you’ll find you’ve passed
from darkness into bright sunlight.

Repentance a roundel

Roundel challenge.

Repentance.

My love is gone beyond my reach
And I am left to mourn alone
This cruel lesson fate can teach
My love is gone
Condemned to manage on my own
I failed to practice what I preach
That is the sin I must atone.
In prayers I earnestly beseech.
All of the gods known and unknown.
To grant forgiveness for my breach
My love is gone

Qye Sera, Sera 2009 for M lady Catrina Heart

Que Sera Sera.2009

With passing time the stoutest walls
will slowly crumble into dust
Impregnable when in their prime
they will still fall as all things must.

The mental walls we build will last.
Meant to protect a broken heart
until we can forget the past
and dare to make a brand new start.

The human heart’s resilient
and will respond to T.L.C.
The damage is not permanent
Although we feel that it might be.

The passing time will numb the pain
as rising tides of hormones flow.
Dictating you must try again
revive your flagging libido

It is part of the learning curve
though sad its true I have to say.
No more no less than we deserve
This is the price we all must pay.

Before we reach maturity
and understand what real love means.
The angst and insecurity
are rites of passage from our teens.

The trials we must undergo
before we attain self control.
Will teach us what we need to know
in order to achieve our goal.

To find a mate who we can trust
Someone to love we can respect
and say goodbye to fleeting lust.
The goal we all seek I suspect.

The passing time gives us the chance
to leave our teen age years behind
and leaves us free to find romance.
Ma Natures plans are well designed.

Only one true perfect love no more searching

Always searching for a love we think we'll never find.
Oh heartache after heartache we start losing faith.

From mistakes we can't escape.
Our shattered dreams start burying us in darkness until we can no longer see the light.
Hate for ourselves and others start building up.
From all the shame, guilt, regret, and lies
we wonder who we are and how we've fallen so far.
Why can't we find someone to love us the way we yearn to be loved?
How does love turn to hate so fast?
Why does everyone give up?

Always searching for a love we think we'll never find.
Oh heartache after heartache we start losing faith.

Oh don't you know u have it.
Oh u have it all.
Jesus loves you.
Always has and always will.
So forget about the world and turn to Jesus.
He knew all our sins and loved us so much
he paid the price and died for us.
No other love can compare or be more true.
He'll never give up on you or forsake you.
So open your heart and turn to him now and watch the chains to your past break away.
Let the guilt and shame fade away.
Because you have been forgiven and set free.
Oh the love u yearn for is with him.
Oh the love u need is in Jesus.
The only true perfect love.
So turn to him now.
Let him love you and make u whole again.

Don't listen to the devils lies.
Your never to far gone, that's just a lie.
Oh remember the devil has been defeated.
Don't let him bring u down with him.
Oh cry out to Jesus now and feel the love he has for you and watch your life be transformed.
You'll never yearn for love again.
That much is true.

Always searching for a love we think we'll never find.
Oh heartache after heartache we start losing faith.

Oh never again.
oh those chains are broken.
I have found love that is true.
Jesus loves me and you

Hope overcomes experience.

I understand that love can die.
Without a cause apparently.
There is no point in asking why.
We must accept that agony
replaces erstwhile ecstasy
We used to share so long ago.
So we decide reluctantly
the time has come we must let go.
We can retain fond memories
or do our damndest to forget
though neither can be done with ease.
Because we are not ready yet.
No doubt we’ll fall in love again
undeterred by our past pain.

Bereft for M lady Allison

Alone, alone, all, all alone
lost in a sea of misery.
Gone all the happiness I’ve known
because my love is gone from me
She did not volunteer to go.
When our call comes we have no choice
the only certainty we know.
When my call comes I shall rejoice
I know that you will wait for me.
Not even death can break our bond.
We swore to love eternally
until time ends and far beyond.
Without you there is nothing left.
I sit alone and weep bereft.

unwanted recollections for J.T ellison

I slept and in my dreaming wept
for promises I made: Unkept
The promises I did not keep
return to haunt me in my sleep.

Sometimes prevailing circumstance
had meant that I had little chance.
To do what I said I would do,
at other times it’s sad but true.

Some promises I made were not meant.
I knew that I had no intent
of doing what I had promised.
There seems to be an endless list.

The guilt I feel is real and deep.
My conscience will not let me sleep.
All of the things I should have done
but did not do each single one

Returns at night to punish me.
I must admit deservedly.
Sins from the past I now regret.
I only wish I could forget.

But I cannot although I try
Because I acted wrongfully
I understand the reason why.
My guilty conscience bothers me.

No Change for MY Lady Irene

I’ll come to you at eventide
We’ll sit together side by side
and I will whisper I love you
Just as I always used to do.

We’ll watch the sun sink in the west,
This is the time we love the best
.You’ll tell me that you love me too
just as you always used to do.

Though times have changed our love has not.
We are contented with our lot.
You still love me I still love you
Just as always swore to do.

Our young ones from the nest have flown
and once again we are alone
Each day our love vows we renew
just as we promised that we’d do.

We are aware that we’ve been blessed.
Together facing every test
that fickle fate can throw at you.
Just as we always intend to do.

Silent Eloquence for M lady Dee Daffodil

They say dead men do not tell tales.
This once was true but not today
Forensic science rarely fails.
Technology has shown the way.

We re-examine evidence
long thought to be of little use.
Our scrutiny is so intense,
that criminals are bound to lose.

Although they think they’re free and clear.
No one can tie them to their crime,
we’re dogged and we persevere.
We do not rush, we take our time.

Some criminals who still walk free
will soon discover that we can
prove their guilt indisputably.
In variably we get our man.

We have the latest gadgetry
we can recover D.N.A
from tiny fragments easily.
Eventually then you will pay.

The full price for your evil deed
although you think you’ve got away.
We will persist til we succeed.
We’re on your track and there we’ll stay.

We’ll forge a chain of evidence
that proves your guilt beyond all doubt
Then you will pay for your offence.
As in due course you will find out.

When you are brought before the court
No doubt you will plead not guilty.
You aren’t as clever as you thought.
You thought you’d got away Scott free.

Although Dame Justice may be blind.
She is prepared to listen to
any evidence we can find.
That pins the blame squarely on you..

Dead men can speak eloquently
and do when we investigate
assisted by technology
You can’t escape it is too late.

Mystery Of Love

Seasons are changing
Children of love are alive
People reach out to survive
Together
Love is the message
We carry across the sky
Down through the passage of
Time forever
History unfolds
As this storys told
(and its) the mystery of love
How we go on and on forever
(and its) the mystery of love
Coming to rescue
Rescue me
A man and a woman
Lost in each others embrace
Star-crossed in time in a place
Far away
Innocent dreamers
Turning the wheels of chance
Searching to find romance
Forever
We will surely find
Love is for all time
(and its) the mystery of love
How we go on and on forever
(and its) the mystery of love
Only one heart can turn the key
Down through the history
Of love
Time is the one that holds
The answer
(and its) the mystery of love
Oh, will it set me free
For all time
(and its) the mystery of love
How we go on and on forever
(and its) the mystery of love
Only one heart can turn the key
Down through the history
Of love
Time is the one that holds
The answer
(and its) the mystery of love
How we go on and on forever
(and its) the mystery of love
Only one heart can turn the key...

Self Convicted for Friend Charles Taylor

The Mandarin inscrutable
is clad in robes of rich brocade.
There before him on the table
a dagger with a bloodstained blade.

As magistrate he must decide
by weighing up he evidence.
Which suspect has or has not lied.
Pronounce on guilt and innocence.

There’s no appeal his word is law.
He wields supreme authority
and he has seen it all before.
Considers it objectively.

He can read thoughts or so it seems
the guilty man believes this true.
Caught up in his own twisted schemes
as guilty men are wont to do.

Betrays himself and leaves no doubt
about his guilt, it’s plain to see.
The mandarin says take him out
execute him immediately
.
In this way was justice served
The mandarin inscrutable
said little but close observed
which man was most uncomfortable.

He might be wrong it’s possible.
His knowledge of psychology
makes it highly improbable.
That’s why he holds authority.

Falling

Written: neil tennant, chris lowe
Falling in love
1:
Kiss the past till its better
Make it last if you can
Tell me know you regret her
Ill try to understand
What was lost can be regained
All the hurt can be healed
Theres no need to feel ashamed
Youve come back and I feel afraid
Chorus:
Falling in love falling in love
Falling in love all over again
Im falling in love all over again
Falling in love with you
2:
Say goodnight to your bad dreams
Feel no guilt for whats done
Another past has been washed clean
And the day has begun
Chorus:
Falling in love with you
Falling in love with you
3x:
In love with you
Falling in love with you
Im falling in love all over again
Im falling in love with you

Again and again youve got me falling
Again and again falling in love

Love Rescue Me

Love rescue me
Come forth and speak to me
Raise me up and dont let me fall
No man is my enemy
My own hands imprison me
Love rescue me
Many strangers have I met
On the road to my regret
Many lost who seek to find themselves in me
They ask me to reveal
The very thoughts they would conceal
Love rescue me
And the sun in the sky
Makes a shadow of you and i
Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea
Im here without a name
In the palace of my shame
Said, love rescue me
In the cold mirror of a glass
I see my reflection pass
See the dark shades of what I used to be
See the purple of her eyes
The scarlet of my lies
Love rescue me
Yea, though I walk
In the valley of shadow
Yea, I will fear no evil
I have cursed thy rod and staff
They no longer comfort me
Love rescue me
Sha la la...sha la la la
Sha la la la...ha la la...
Sha la la la...sha la la la
Sha la la la...sha la la
Sha la la la...sha la la la
Sha la la...
I said love, love rescue me
I said love
Climb up the mountains, said love
I said love, oh my love
On the hill of the son
Im on the eve of a storm
And my word you must believe in
Oh, I said love, rescue me
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah...
Yeah Im here without a name
In the palace of my shame
I said love rescue me
Ive conquered my past
The future is here at last
I stand at the entrance
To a new world I can see
The ruins to the right of me
Will soon have lost sight of me
Love rescue me

Unconditional Love

Written by gerry beckley, 1984
Found on perspective.
Unconditional love
Unconditional fear
Unconditional support
In your time of need
Oo, its unconditionally true
Oo, its unconditionally me
Unconditionally you
Its a spiritual world
When the darkness comes
But you gotta hold your head up
Hold your head up high
Oo, you got to take a look around
Oo, and listen when you hear the sound
Unconditional love (love)
This is right, this I know
I found out, long time ago
Someday baby well get there I know, oh, oh
Unconditional love
Unconditional hope
Unconditional desire
To have it work out fine
Oo, its unconditionally true
These things were dreamin of
Oo, its unconditionally yours
Unconditional love (love)
Oo, its unconditionally true
These things were dreamin of
Oo, its unconditionally yours
Unconditional love (love)
(love)

Love Is The Only Light

Then the lights go down on me
When the truth is hard to see
When hope is fading out of site
Love is the only light
When my world becomes unreal
And the pain is all I feel
When I can't find the love I knew
It's sad but true
We find ourselves crying cos we can't make it last
We hope for the future then we reach for the past
When you find yourself alone tonight
Please believe me
Love is the only light
When I find no reasons why
And it's time to say goodbye
When there's nothing left to say or do
It's sad, sad but true
We find ourselves crying cos we can't make it last
We hope for the future then we reach for the past
When you find yourself alone tonight
Please believe me
Love is the only light
Burn my fingers
Feel the pain
Kiss the flame
And start again
And again
And again
And again
And again
And again
We find ourselves crying cos we can't make it last
We hope for the future then we reach for the past
When you find yourself alone tonight
Please believe me
Love is the only light
Love is the only light
When you find yourself alone tonight
Please believe me
Love is the only light

Just Love Me As Me

There’s a time of day
Before we sleep
Or when awakening
When all our thoughts are innocent
And free of many things
Like guilt and blame and anger too
We lie and we just dream
We feel a calmness in our lives
And problems do not seem
As bad as what we thought before
We wear a smile with thought
For so many times we fool ourselves
With ‘should’ rather than ‘ought’
We cannot make another act
As if they were ourselves
Nor countenance obedience
Beyond what we can tell
The time is ripe!
The moment’s now!
The past must be forgiven!
For otherwise those thoughts of yours
Will be forever sadness driven
I love you more than my own self
I love you totally
I want you to return that love
And....
Just love me as me.

My Love Will Not Let You Down

At night I go to bed
But I just cant sleep
I got something runnin around my head
Ooh that just wont keep
In the silence I hear my heart beatin
Time slippin away
I got a time bomb tickin deep inside of me
Girl all I want to say
I keep searchin for you darlin
Searchin everywhere I go
And when I find you theres gonna be just one thing that you gotta know
One thing you gotta know
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
At night I walk the streets lookin for romance
But I always end up stumblin in a half trance
I search for a connection in some new eyes
That hardly protect you from too many dreams passed by
I see you standin, across the room watchin me without a sound
Im gonna push my way through that crowd
Im gonna tear your holy walls down
Tear all your walls down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
Well hold still now darlin
Hold still for gods sake
Cause I got me a promise
I aint afraid to make (I aint afraid to make)
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down

Fear Not My Love

Fear not my love
Take me back into your heart
Fear not my love
Let us make a fresh start

Fear not my love
The past is behind
Fear not my love
No more doubts in your mind

Fear not my love
Let me give back all I abused
Fear not my love
Perspicuous, lucid, unconfused

Fear not my love
I'll not withhold or reserve
Fear not my love
You shall have all you deserve

Fear not my love
In my arms be secure
Fear not my love
For all time it will endure

Fear not my love
It is yours for the taking
Fear not my love
It is ours for the making

Fear not my love
Seek the future we planned
Fear not my love
Together hand in hand

A happy accident

A happy accident

Alone. Alone always alone
The warmth of love I’d never known.
Conceived upon a one night stand
and then abandoned out of hand.

Nobody ever wanted me.
It seemed I was condemned to be
unloved unwanted and alone
My heart grew cold and turned to stone.

I could not love, no one showed me
affection: I could not see
that to receive I had to give.
And so I lived in misery.

I grew up in an orphanage
until I had attained the age.
When they considered I should be.
Grown up enough to be set free.

Not their responsibility
and that is how I came to be.
A dweller in bed sitter land.
Nobody seemed to understand.

Just how lonely life can be
I knew that no one cared for me.
I thought that no one ever would
nor could I see why they should.

Until one day I found a friend
my loneliness was at an end.
She was an orphan just like me
and had endured the misery.

Of feeling that she was alone
unwanted too by anyone.
I needed her she needed me
We learned together we could be.

Good friends who earned each others trust
and very slowly to adjust.
Adopt a different point of view
and realise it was not true.

That we were not unlovable
and that we were quite capable
of giving and receiving love
A treasure which we rate above.

All of the trapping of success
To suffer no more loneliness
To love and be loved in return
A lesson that we had to learn.

Which banished all our misery.
Now we are married happily.
And have two children of our own
Deep love has from a friendship grown.

Fare you well

Fly free proud spirit on your way.
Towards the truth you sought to find,
No need to tarry or delay.
You know I’ll follow on behind.

The bonds of love death cannot break
For love will last eternally.
We’ll meet again make no mistake.
I will rejoin you presently.

We’ve lived and loved and died before.
I have no doubt we will again.
Each life we learn a little more
although each parting is a pain.

With my blessings go your way
until my call comes I must stay.

So far, So good

Although I’m far from innocent
I have done things I now repent.
In self defence I must protest
I am no worse than all the rest
Whose sins have yet to come to light.
They still profess their innocence
Their sins well hidden out of sight
and yet feel free to take offence.
At peccadilloes I confess.
Which seems to me hypocrisy
as if somehow their sins are less
than those I confess openly.
Because they’re sure nobody knows.
Its human nature I suppose.
