Be A Candle....
be a candle
to me
shine in darkness
consume yourself
cry, cry,
in silence
consume yourself
be those tears
wasted on
the graveyard
of the one
you love
be gone....

Love Consuming
Thoughts of you consume me
Hold power over me every
Second of the day
I wonder at His glory that is
a woman and ask who is
She that walks so proudly?
Thoughts of you consume me
Hold power over me every
Dream I dream
You walk through me like
A chill on winters eve. I see
You but I am but a shade
Unto you
Thoughts of you consume me
Hold power over me every
Breathe I take
You are the forest to my trees
That hide me from your sight.
We dance the dance of the
Stars and thoughts of you
Consume me
Thoughts of you consume me
Hold power over me every
Death I die
Her being, her beauty burns
Through me. I died in her
Passing when she smiled unto
Me
Thoughts of you consume me
Hold power over me every
Kiss you kiss me...

Psalm 59
Like rabid dogs my trials surround me
I hear them howling in the night
I seek some solace from my bed
But all my sleep has taken flight
Awake to me in all my troubles
For you alone Lord are my shield
On every side I am surrounded
As I fall down on the battle-field
Consume them Lord consume the darkness
Deliver me from every fear
Lift my head that I may see you
Let me know that you are near

Ephemeral Tide Flows Swift In Time Darkness
watch soft silent silhouettes
surreal ships life passing otter
shapes carried slip satin water
river flows past earth shores
darkness consume illumini sunlit air
darkness consume crypt fading light
darkness paints shapes in birth night
darkness spotlight starlit atmosphere
shapes disappear dance glossomer darkness
photostream merge embue mist ink absorbing
passing ships hint images spectrums tugging
ephemeral tide flows swift in time darkness

Shine, Jesus, Shine
Lord the light or your love is shining,
In the midst of the darkness shining,
Jesus light of the world shine upon us,
Set us free by the truth you now bring us,
Shine on me. shine on me.
Shine jesus shine
Fill this land with the fathers glory
Blaze, spirit blaze,
Set our hearts on fire
Flow, river flow
Flood the nations with grace and mercy
Send forth your word
Lord and let there be light.
Lord I come to your awesome presence,
From the shadows into your radiance,
By the blood I may enter your brightness,
Search me, try me, consume all my darkness,
Shine on me. shine on me.
As we gaze on your kindly brightness.
So our faces display your likeness.
Ever changing from glory to glory,
Mirrored here may our lives tell your story.
Shine on me. shine on me.

Consume
drawing out energy
to place the magic in
happiness consumes all
and draws out more energy
to close the case its in
and smiles consume all
so i will draw out all my energy
to break my stupid frown
and happiness will consume me
a flood of smiles will drown
all who find this magic in
the hearts of happiness
that consume all

We are taught to consume. And that's what we do. But if we realized that there really is no reason to consume, that it's just a mind set, that it's just an addiction, then we wouldn't be out there stepping on people's hands climbing the corporate ladder of success.

Bio force
Plants consume elements.
Animals consume plants.
Microbes eat both till to minerals.
This is the cycle of bio-force.
Individual death is least mattered.

Inner Light
My inner lights shines, but I go to the darkness.
Why must I always look at my weaknesses?
I know they are there, and on them, I obsess?
They try to consume me.
I believe the lies they tell me.
They are the true robbers of my joy.
They want the power of my light.
They crave to become greater than my strengths.
They will, if I let them.
Others remind me of them, like critics watching my story.
Maybe they should focus on their own.
Believe your own lies.
Give power to them.
Become your own critics.
Maybe their giants must be too big.
If they make mine bigger than theirs, they will feel better.
So I won't let them.
My light will shine so bright, it will cover the darkest areas of my being.
My strengths will slay my weaknesses.
The giant is afraid of the light.
It will run, it will cower,
Though, it won't give up without a fight.
Nor will I.
Deflect it lies, like arrows with my shield.
I will let my light consume it.
I will lock them up,
In the prison, they kept me in for so long.
When they become the prisoner,
Then, I am truly free.

Alone In A Room Full Of People
Alone in a room full of people
Too much noise in the silence
Thoughts consume an empty mind
Confusion sets off angry tears
And the laughter starts again
But what is happening here and now
She doesn’t understand
Why is she alone in a room of people
And why is the silence noisy
Why is she angry, what caused the tears,
And the laughter that followed swiftly
Is there any sense in this madness,
Or should we all ignore it once more.

Ravenously
It was the startling with you
from the nascent look
and unspoken electricity
a leaping across
an unexpected grabbing
of me at my center
a caught unawareness
a swept away
where the instant
stretched for an eon
from handshake to hello
a weakening in the body
a trembling in the knees
in the most vulnerable parts
of the soul;
a shuddering
in parts below
a cry from long nights
laments
and longings
a stifling of the desire
to consume and be consumed
by you and to consume you
ravenously
completely
and we both be gone
away.
That my love
is how it felt
when we first met
and still when we kiss.

reedom
what shape is freedom?
a flicker
on the candle in the dark night
the wind blows
and the flicker moves anywhere
the wind goes
freedom?
the strong wind puts the light out
on a single blow
freedom?
the candle knows how to make its own flame
and lets go some of its melting matter
freely flowing its own body
consuming itself
down the drain
to its foot
like tears
the molten drops slide
and solidify
taking some shapes
misconceived
unassigned by us
freedom?
the freedom to take our own shapes
the freedom to consume ourselves
the freedom to be finally
extinguished
freedom.

I Wasted My Tears
I wasted my tears
When I cried over you
I wasted my tears
When I cried over you
I shouldve known
You would never be true
I loved and I lost you
Now Im so blue
I wasted my tears
When I cried over you
You said that you loved me
And would always be true
Now you gonen left me
Oh, what will I do
Oh, why did you leave me
For somebody new
I wasted my tears
When I cried over you
I wasted my time
When I spent it with you
But one is so blind
When love is so new
Now out of my fears have come true
I wasted my tears
When I cried over you
I wasted my tears
When I cried over you

Dweller On The Threshold
Im a dweller on the threshold
And Im waiting at the door
And Im standing in the darkness
I dont want to wait no more
I have seen without perceiving
I have been another man
Let me pierce the realm of glamour
So I know just what I am
Im a dweller on the threshold
And Im waiting at the door
And Im standing in the darkness
I dont want to wait no more
Feel the angel of the present
In the mighty crystal fire
Lift me up consume my darkness
Let me travel even higher
Im a dweller on the threshold
As I cross the burning ground
Let me go down to the water
Watch the great illusion drown
Im a dweller on the threshold
And Im waiting at the door
And Im standing in the darkness
I dont want to wait no more
Im gonna turn and face the music
The music of the spheres
Lift me up consume my darkness
When the midnight disappears
I will walk out of the darkness
And Ill walk into the light
And Ill sing the song of ages
And the dawn will end the night
Im a dweller on the threshold
And Im waiting at the door
And Im standing in the darkness
I dont want to wait no more
Im a dweller on the threshold
And I cross some burning ground
And Ill go down to the water
Let the great illusion drown
Im a dweller on the threshold
And Im waiting at the door
And Im standing in the darkness
I dont want to wait no more
Im a dweller on the threshold
Dweller on the threshold
Im a dweller on the threshold
Im a dweller on the threshold

Love's Draft
THE draft of love was cool and sweet
You gave me in the cup,
But, ah, love's fire is keen and fleet,
And I am burning up.
Unless the tears I shed for you
Shall quench this burning flame,
It will consume me through and through,
And leave but ash — a name.

My Demon
The darkness with me is taking over my light..
Am surrounded by internal fire with no water to consume.
My flesh is being tarnish
at sunrise but heals at sunset..is that's the price u pay for being a sinner....
My soul is lost have no feeling for love.
My demon is taking over with distinguish red eyes with my fiery horns ready to cause destruction.
Cast down to darkness all I no is pain and revenge....
Is there a way out for me! ! !
Cause I have unleash the demon which live with me....

For Silence
I wish to be an amaranth
amidst a place
of enveloped silence, of awkwardness.
How can silence sound
deafening, or consume
one's spirit, leaving the body
weary, futile?
For silence is minute by minute serenity,
a moment of soul searching,
of pacifying temporal desires and
dreams cleansed of worldly attachments.
For silence can be nothingness
amalgamated with truth.
For silence can be stupidity,
dullness, inactivity
transfigured wisdom.
Amidst a place of enveloped silence,
of awkwardness,
i can be an amaranth,
a topaz,
a princess.
