~Eyes The Color Of Envy~
When I feel
I should succumb to evil
I gaze into the eyes
The shade of envy
Telling the pain felt
During the life lived
But also sharing
The innermost love
They see through
The tears I’ve shed
And gently wipe them away
And hold me in a comforting embrace
Knowing that these eyes
Will empty my aching heart
And fill it with rejoicing
I am thankful
The eyes the color of envy
Tell of remorse
Tell of suffering
But tell more of cherished moments
As mine fill with tears
His fill with love
The eyes the color of envy
Are the color of passion
~Crucify Me~
I am weakened
By the cruel taunts
Of the crowd
That wants me dead
Forced to bear
The object I’m destined
To die upon
I stumble
As my crown
Sweats blood
My thirst is quenched
With bitterness
My eyes see the souls
Of the lost and blind
The life drained from my veins
Saves their own
And yet they’re so unaware
As their ignorance and arrogance
Crucifies me
~The Hardest Job~
I was made
I was created
To tell the children
What they would’ve become
My halo feels heavy
My wings weigh me down
As I confess their destiny
They could never fulfill
Children born in hatred
Only to die before birth
Killed by reckless drivers
Rapists
Murderers
Only to see Heaven
Only to know God and His angels
I see her
The cure for AIDS
I see him
The aide to mankind
So many lives
That could’ve saved lives
Killed mercilessly
I have the hardest job
~Battle With The Dragon~
Misinterpretation
I quiver in fear
Everything’s gone
Demolished
I rise, an amateur
Unaware of my destiny
My courage unsatisfactory
The repulsive Beast awaits
I venture the plane
The toxic air surrounding me
The Evil lingers
I am unable to be petrified
For my pugnacious nature
Overwhelms me
I ordain the fight
And dissociate myself from all else
My mind, completely sober
Only intensifies my strength
The wretch sits
In his realm
Stabilizing his reign
Only to fall
Seeing me as cumbersome
This judgment
Maladjusted
I swing my Two-Edged Sword
And guard myself with my Armor
His defiance
In jeopardy
My strength
Coincides with my courage
My Sword and Shield
Impel perilous triumph
The battle with the Beast
Is finished
I have demolished the Dragon
