Men of vernacular’s foolish lip fought
One man rose to wipe their tarnished eyes
Poetic words spilled on their weathered hearts
Our fait by foreign state begin our sigh
Justice’s bell would not ring for some time
People begin to sing to our hearts strum
Day’s effort would be long to bar a line
Our rhythm’s cry stretched for reason’s son
Men argued [...]

Quiet Thought
My hands often sing to a melody
My mind often dreams in sleep to create
My soul often screams to me live boldly
My heart often brings truth I rarely take
When all is calmly dark I often speak
Softly in the night for my pen to wake
When in return answers I often seek
Seldom but I all alone claim my [...]
A Peaceful Night
Their hands quiet my fight
Beautiful singing delivers me this night
What joy, I remember in my life
Graces every moment of my flight
Their voices shall echo for a thousand years
And I hope, the memory of my life will calm their tears
I’ve held their faces all my days
Proudly, watching them grow from tender age
I shall bless them now, [...]
For the Poet
I do not write for Man
Thy words ring Heaven’s ear
Verse distracted by reason
Born of delusion, twisted by Knaves
I write for debts waged
For time aged
Where Patrons prayed
Beneath the page
Where truth lay
Trust thy rage
Where sacrifice I made
On behalf of words I’ve saved
Free thy slave, and I’ll fade
To History’s cage
Beneath thy name, for Angel’s claim
And if my sullen [...]
For the Devout
In my darkest days I still had you Christ
Regardless the torment bestowed upon me
No moment of torture was as great
As the peace of you with me in those days
It is but by your grace
That the most unknown souls to you, God
Are called to show the most devout of men
The true light of you, Christ
And the [...]
For the Broken
Break me oh Lord
Shatter my world
Strip my confidence
And let me fight
Feed me to the savage
Let me walk with Thieves
Bring Evil’s ravage
To tempt my sinner’s needs
Let the rage of Devils
Tear me limb from limb
And when all is done
Make me whole again
Reborn by divine grace
Deaf to knaves and fools
Above Earthly charms
Where evil cannot bind
Broke of Earth’s arms
While [...]
For the Dying
Let my days on earth measure my faith
And if kings know my name then heaven I’ll take
Be noble and just and let me be judged
But if evil calls then heaven can wait
For I will return to avenge my sins
From fiery death and back from ash again
With virtue as my vengeance, though fragile
It will not falter [...]
For the Soldier
From heaven, may grace fall upon me with virtue
May my valor be reborn into the light of God
And it a beacon I forsake all to follow
A humble servant that evil can not bind
Let my purpose be pure
And my life be just
Let me walk with kings and bow to the sky
When I knell let heaven hear [...]
Back to Life
Tired now and so alone
All the feelings fade away
Tried so hard for to long
No one hears what I say
Slowly they pass me by
While inside I’ve died
The hand of God lies before me
With all his glory
All alone for me to see
As a thousand angles hold me
While the Lord sold me
All alone I feel them breathe
How long [...]
