Surrender
My apologies for the recent string of posts relating to the topic of romantic love. I've decided that I've exhausted the topic and any meaningful discourse has long since been minimal, judging by the responses that have been received. It would be pointless to continue on when neither side would appear to be cogent to other, and when such elaboration is ultimately futile. Since I have given up on this aspect of my life, henceforth shall I desist from comment in regard to the aforementioned topic.
Away from these foolish games shall we ride, away from the snares and shackles - loosening winter's chill grasp. That which was the winter of our discontent shall be mine to bear, with the Lord my only strength and refuge. Oh, how lonely the road with shadows and whispers for companions. How lonely the mist-laden air. The road before me lays both barren and fallow. What is left but to pull free of the entangling webs, the thorns like dull sickles, unable to shear clean through. What is left but the rending of flesh and sinew, the surrender of my own might and fortitude. O Lord my heart is laid bare to you. Purge it of all that is unclean, that which is impure. In your loving hands I place myself O Lord, my creator and sustainer, sovereign Lord of all. To you be all glory, honour and praise.
Forever Misunderstood
Hi guys... sorry about the recent string of depressive posts... even though it's spanned a few months or more. Perhaps that really is a part of my character.... or blame it on the PMS...
Well, I wrote my first song lyrics today... though it's not quite a song, and not quite a poem. Not something I would normally do, since I can't write music to accompany it... though I had a certain rhythym in mind.
Anyway, yeah, it's not a happy piece... as if you'd expect that from me eh? =P
What is left to say
When your truth has been spoken
And all you hear from your friends
Is scoffing, mocking, bemusement?
Do you walk away?
Live to fight another day?
Concede defeat and hide away?
I say "No!" Why should it be
That my heart be broken?
Discouraged, yet again torn open
Must it always end this way?
With my weary soul out on display
And yet forever, still misunderstood
What is left to feel?
When your ways are questioned
And it is from your friends
That tired sighs and whispers seep
What else will it take?
Is there more yet left to break?
Only to give and not to take?
I say "No!" Why should it be
That my heart be broken?
Discouraged, yet again torn open
Must it always end this way?
With my weary soul out on display
And yet forever, still misunderstood
Please, no more contention.
Aren't you listenin'
No more false hopes
No more empty words
Forget all those dreams
Don't be absurd!
No more complaining
Or explanations
I tell you now
Just forget everything
All I've said up 'til now
Forget everything
It's all foolishness somehow...
I yell "No!" Why should it be
That I am forsaken
Disheartened, yet again left aching
Must it always end this way?
There's nothing of worth left here to say
In this lifetime, misunderstood
I'll be forever, just misunderstood
Short and Sweet
Just a quick message to let everyone know I'm alive.
Sorry about the lack of posts... lack of inspiration I guess.
I'm planning to go skydiving in December, so if anyone's interested, let me know.
Ciao.
Walking Again
Take a step, just one step It will make the next a little easier And stop you falling back Bodyweight forward There you go! Okay, now another step You can't stop now Eyes straight ahead Foot off the ground Swing it forwardHow about three in a row? Leave your anxieties Don't look back Think of hope It's easier this time
Now we're moving! No hesitation Forget the past Just walk away One step further…
…and THUD!
A wall; brick it is Was this here before? Perhaps to the left Yes, just a few steps A detour
THUD
So now what? Perhaps it was to the right Just back up a bit Turn around Let's try again
THUD
Oh, now I remember I've tried this before I should have learnt Only foolish hope Entrapped
