Insurgent
'Only mercy can liberate us from the madness of our determination to be consistent - from the awful pattern of lusts, greeds, angers and hatreds which mix us up together like a mass of dough and thrust us all together into the oven.'
Thomas Merton, Raids on the Unspeakable
Thin lines restrain,
sameness
my breath contains,
till I can no longer feel
Your perfect pain!
Then will I become
a silent ghost -
tears in the night
ache in their souls,
their dream of fright.
Yes! make me Your angel
of the seven plagues;
with Your love
We'll destroy bland fate.

Angel Of Mercy
Theres never been any reason
or escape for the treason
You just think of a time far away
I feel your flame and your anguish
I know your plans and your last wish
You just can't face another day
Angel of Mercy, take her to your homeland
Angel of Mercy, you can feel the signs,
its the End, its the End
You've stood along the life line
You've played the fool for the last time
You just want the joy and the peace
You've heard all the laughter
Youve seen what youre after
You just want the rest and the sleep
Angel of Mercy, take her to your homeland
Angel of Mercy, you can feel the signs,
its the End, its the End

from a place you never will awake
I hear your cry into the night
I hear you die within my fright
But now youve saved your mistake

The Greatest Love.
The greatest love I've ever known
Was snatched away by fate
It left me with dark shadows
Also bitterness and hate
It threw me close to madness
Cloaked my soul in deep despair
Her scent was all around me
Then disappeared into thin air
I felt her breath upon my cheek
Her touch upon my face
Her presence pulls at every step
Like fragile strips of lace
She clouds my thoughts in unknown ways
At night I hear her sighs
I force the burning tears to stop
As they rush to fill my eyes
Fate is fickle at its best
We are as so much grain
Why give to me an angel
Then replace her with such pain.

Ache, Ache, Ache
Stay calm
Put your mask of indifferent
Stay in control
You have gone through the worse
Stand tall
Throw the pain to the wall
Spread the smile
Even to deceive a little longer
Before it consumes you
And ache, ache, ache
Before it defeat you
With ache, ache, ache
Whisper you to break
For ache, ache, ache
Pushing you to the world
Full ache, ache, ache
Keep moving
Your body needs the adrenaline
Keep struggling
You don't want to end here
Glare angrily
It's better than being a hopeless
Act strongly
Do not let it weakens your will
Because it starts throbbing
An ache, ache, ache
Because you don't need pity
Though ache, ache, ache
They waiting you to fall
By ache, ache, ache
And wish you to slowly die
In ache, ache, ache
Focus on your duty
Forget other unnecessary mind
Carry your burden
Even you have to endure it forever
Brace the inevitable
Never let anything get you down
Give up is losing
Whatever left for you to own
But it keeps reminding you
Till ache, ache, ache
But it rounds you to the corner
To ache, ache, ache
You don't know where comes
This ache, ache, ache
And how to stop or numb
The ache, ache, ache

Words Of Tears..: '(
tears speak
what words can't speak
tears tell
what words can't tell
tears express
what words can't express
tears create the magic
what words can't create
pain tears heart
pain tears the life
pain has teared my heart
pain has teared my life
the pain he gave me
i can't forget
i still remember
his breath
his voice still rings in my ear
his presence is still felt
i seem to see his face in the crowd
why? why?
his soul lives on in me
yet it is the physical frame
why can i feel his pain
is it that thread of love
that binds us till restrain..

The Serene Happiness Of Silent Acceptance
For all God's gifts there must be in us a response of thanksgiving and happiness and joy: but here we thank Him less by words than by the serene happiness of silent acceptance.
Thomas Merton, Seeds of Contemplation
With gift of thunder and pain
prepare the soil
for living rain.
With gift of streaming grace
fill my soul
with unspeakable faith!

I'm Your Angel
I’m your angel
In and out
I’m your angel
In trouble and pain
I’m your angel
In happiness and sadness
I’m your angel
In failure and success.
I’m your angel
Wherever you go
I’m your angel
To protect and guide you
I’m your angel
To make you feel you’re not alone
I’m your angel
Saying: “ I’m only here my friend …
I’ll be with you till the end.”
No matter what life would bring
Don’t be afraid
Just put your trust in Him
As God has sent me to you
To make you smile and won’t feel blue.
I love you, Friend!

An Angels Poem
An Angel falls
But not from above
The Angel crawls
To one new thing: Love.
He doesn't understand
The feelings of Man
He has watched for so long
Now he knows right from wrong
The same love he never knew
Is the love that scorns me and you
He feels the pain
The ache of his heart
The pain we feel
When we are from our loved ones, apart
He cries new tears
He feels new fears
He wishes for death
With every single breath
He doesn't realize
We deal with this everyday
He calms and sighs
and understands the price we pay.
Angels cant love nor can they feel
Now he understands what makes love real
Its not a word or a touch
Its a belief and a feeling
That can help or hurt so much.
He made a choice
Like we all do
He screams with his voice
'I LOVE YOU! '
Angel
girl it's been so long
since i held you in my arms
so i picked up pen and paper
and decided to write you a song
things just ain't the same
since you took your love away
all i have is dark and lonely days
cause the sun don't shine my way
wish that i could find the words to say
to show you love is real
the words just can't express the way i feel
[chorus]
you're my angel
my sun up in the sky
we've been through hell and back together
why you wanna leave me now
only you can ease the pain i feel
and wipe my tears away
won't you fly back home and make me whole again
baby not a day goes bye
that i don't want to cry
when i think of what we had
how you walked out of my life
all i had was yours to take
till my heart you chose to break
still wish that i could make love to you
just one more time for old times sake
if only i could find the words to say
to show you love is real
the words just can't express the way i feel
[chorus]
you're my angel
my sun up in the sky
we've been through hell and back together
why you wanna leave me now
only you can ease the pain i feel
and wipe my tears away
won't you fly back home and make me feel whole again
come back home
come back home
cause without you here beside me
my house is not a home
only you can ease the pain i feel
and wipe my tears away
won't you fly back home and make me whole again
you're my angel
my sun up in the sky
we've been through hell and back together
why you wanna leave me now
only you can ease the pain i feel
and wipe my tears away
won't you fly back home and make me whole again
you're my angel
my sun up in the sky
we've been through hell and back together
why you wanna leave me now
only you can ease the pain i feel
and wipe my tears away
you've been gone too long so won't you come back home

Pain
I'm hidden in the scream
When the virgin dies
I'm the ache in the belly
When your baby cries
And I'm the burnin' sensation
When the convict fries
I'm pain
I'm your pain
Unspeakable pain
I'm your private pain
And I'm the compound fracture
In the twisted car
And I'm the lines on the face
Of the tramp at the bar
And I'm the reds by the bed
Of the suicide star
You know me- I'm pain
I'm your pain
Your own private pain
Unfathomable pain
And it's a compliment to me
To hear you screamin' through the night
All night
Tonight
I'm the holes in your arm
When you're feeling the shakes
I'm the lump on your head
When you step on the rake
And I'm the loudest one laughing
At the saddest wake
Yes I'm pain
I'm just pain
Dear old pain
You need your pain
And I'm the loudest one laughing
At the saddest wake
I'm the salt in the sweat
On the cuts of the slaves
I was the wound in the side
While Jesus prayed
I was the filthiest word
At the vandalized grave
Yes, pain
Do you love me pain
I love my pain
I'm your pain
It's a compliment to me
To hear you screamin' through the night
All night
Tonight

Mercy and Love
In order to know and love God as He is, we must have God dwelling in us in a new way, not only in His creative power but in His mercy. Thomas Merton, New Seeds of Contemplation.
Nothing I could do
would ever be enough
to make the dead-wood
live. Though the wind
and rain sever bright leaves,
tender blossoms from
the cherry tree, and the
birds themselves fly
from my anger,
I know
I could never
make it right,
though with tears I flood,
nourish with a
broken heart's blood
I am powerless.
Yet still these bruised stems,
thicken and split
to bud, spill green life,
fill the earth
with mercy
and love.

My Tomb
The four walls around me,
The bed in which I lay.
A lock on my door,
Keeps everyone away.
The outside world has nothing,
Not a single thing for me.
For I lost the angel of my life,
An angel as beautiful as she.
I lay within these four walls,
Counting the time go by.
The day quickly comes to an end,
And then I close my eyes.
It is then I dream of her,
As I lie here in my room.
In my dream I leave from here,
This place I call my tomb.
No more walls around me,
No more bed in which I lay.
I have broken from the locks,
That kept me here to decay.
In my dream I am with her,
No longer am I sad.
For in my dream she never leaves,
Destroying everything we had.
In my dream we are happy,
Our love will only grow.
Reaching to the Heavenly skies,
Leaving the world below.
In my dream I'm full of life,
No longer live in gloom.
My angel has pulled me from the trap,
Of this place I call my tomb.
I want to stay in this dream,
For when I am asleep.
No longer do I miss her,
No longer do I weep.
I want to stay in this dream,
I never want to wake.
For when I'm here with my angel,
No longer do I ache.
I want to stay in this dream,
Don't ever pull me out.
I want to stay here forever,
For here there is no doubt.
Eventually my eyes will open,
I see the walls of my room.
Once again I'm locked up,
As I lie here in my tomb.

Dream On
(being, in love)
Been travelling this road for so long
My eyes are tired but I carry on
The sun lays down its golden threads
I need a place to rest my head
Although I am far from home now
My souls with you
Its hard to be out here on my own
So far away, so far from home
I need to touch and feel your skin
To live this dream in sleep again
Although I am far from home now
My souls with you
So dream on, dream on
Freedom comes with timeless sleep
Dream on, dream on
In the arms of night
Your silent shadow gently speaks
Dream on, dream on
This hotel rooms a lonely place
Its a one night cell I must escape
So I drink away my loneliness
So I can sleep and dream again
Although I am far from home now
My souls with you
And as I fall into
The darkness of the night
You come to rescue me to
Shield me in your light
I feel your touch
The softness of your skin
You hold me close before
The day breaks in
This dreams so true
My heart it beats, it beats
It beats for you, for you
Although I am far from home now
My souls with you
So dream on, dream on
Freedom comes with timeless sleep
Dream on, dream on
In the arms of night
Your silent shadow gently speaks
So dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on
So dream on, dream on
Dream on

Your Angel
You said I was your angel.
It had to do with the wonderful way I made you feel.
I do not think I am an angel.
If I am an angel its only because Gods work is real.
I can't wake up from a dream that's real.
God took this bitter heart and made it heal.
God is the only one who can make me care about people.
He has been working in my life since I was little.
You know I may slip and slide but God is there too keep me from
falling in the tide.
In his strength I shall hide.
Making up my mind has nothing to do with pride.
My soul could not keep the hurt all inside.
This angel is human after all.
You do not know how much I cried.
All I can say is that I tried.
It doesn't mean that I didn't love you at all.
I am sorry I can't be your angel.
Please try to find a more perfect angel.
Maybe she will take away the pain you feel.
Or maybe my emotions were just a game that you liked to play.
I need you to know that I forgive you any way.
An angel would not be thinking this way.
An angel would not make mistakes everyday.
God has marked me with his seal.
I can't make you believe that God is real.
Only God can change your heart.
I have tried and it has torn me apart.
God has pieced me back together.
God will be with those who believe in him forever.
A Man who Despises
His anger is wrath and her rage is dense,
Forever can be forever.
Her despair is too green and his mood is too bland,
Forever and ever they be.
Invented are the angers by a machine which angers,
And souls cannot escape poverty.

Angel of Mercy
Angel of mercy
Come sit by my side
Have you some mercy
Mercy for me
I'm destined for sadness
Heartache and pain
She's withdrawn her love
And said, for me
To do the same
But my heart, you see
Has a mind of it's own
It keeps on loving
Though her love has moved on
It cries and it bleeds
Through the cold and rain
Never knowing its' journey
Is one taken in vain
So have you some mercy
A little to spare
It could sure use some warmth
From someone who cares
I'm not asking for much
Just something to mend the break
For I'm not quite sure
How much more it can take
It's losing its' strength
Will and might
And may never recover
From when she left
That night
So angel of mercy
I plead, beg and cry
Can you spare me some mercy
Lest my heart should die

I Fight Today
Numb is what I feel
Today I dream black
I've turned my blood to steal
To withhold the sharpened tact
Though the world tears me down
I stand here tall and sure
My battle cry now I sound
Begin a new war tour
I shall not be so easily felled
Cut down here where I stand
My anger not so easily quelled
A backlash I shall land
My blade is raised against you
My armor light and swift
I will move my blade true
Through you I'll cut a rift
Separate you from your will
As you tried to do to me
This is the most brutal kill
Wait and you are sure to see
When you yourself no longer dream
The pain will come at night
And dull at first it may seem
Your fear will grow to fright
You yourself shall end your own
I will do no more
You yourself the end has shown
Fate has made end for

Eyes Of An Angel
She once looked into an angel's eyes.
No matter how hard that angel tries,
The angel can't disguse,
The compassion in the angel's eyes.
The angel denies,
The angel doesn't see the tears she cries,
Every time the angel comes near, a peice of hear heart dies,
All because of the angel's eyes.
She hates the angel, but the angel's eyes,
Make up for all the lies,
And at night the angel flies,
Watches her dream about the angel's eyes.
She stops and sighs,
Stops crying when she really tries,
Thinks about pain and its enormous size,
Then, yet again, cries.
The tears she cries,
The heart that dies,
When she sighs,
Will they ever be noticed by the angel's eyes?

Fate:
In this life I live with a feeling, deep inside stabbing and tearing.
My heart is empty, Black and torn. these days of pain are uncomparing.
i try to ignore this guilt and sadness, i cant shake this pain and feeling.
the days grow longer, the nights grow darker this feeling i have is unwilling.
i wish it free to no longer be but my past has left me a great memory.
This memory within tears me apart, i wish to erase it from my mind and heart.
the memory of happiness that tears me apart, i only wish to flee from this tormenting memory.
to flee and run to escape my fate that is yet to come.
I cannot stop it, no matter how far i run, this fate will haunt me till its done.

The Damage
So much pain I feel right now
Anger also I feel but more of pain
Want to cry, tears I want to drop
Plenty of tears I want to let plunge
How can I express the terrible ache I am going through?
It is just an awful feeling to be alive sometimes
Do not want to say anything more
I am in so much hurt, it is terrible to go through it
Cannot tell anything more because I am really so blank
Feelings have lost their control, sometimes I feel as if I am losing it
Although, then I get proven to be wrong
Often, the things which I sense just do occur
Hurt is plenty and I cannot tell you, how dreadful I feel
The damage is really bad and I want to just cry.
