Aloof and scornful was I Of Christianity and all that it implied As a child, I could not understand How a God, supposedly loving, so much would demand I did not declare myself atheist Nor dabble in other religions But skeptical I remained, in the back of my mind And certain the miracles could only be fiction I went on this way for much of my life Believing what I chose Seemingly carefree, innocent, and blithe But hollow somewhere, and sometimes morose And then--I'm not entirely sure still what happened But a change for the better it definitely was I learned of my Saviour, I'm glad that I did For I learned that, though strict, H

The rain it falls on my hands and feet The rain it falls on my face The rain it falls all upon the street And every other place Oh rain, let you cleanse me And lift away the dirt Oh rain, quench the dryness And ease the dear earth's hurt We've waited so long For your sweet, gentle touch Oh rain, when you're gone We all miss you so much The rain in the desert Brings flowers to bloom And animals to frolic Awakened from dry swoon The rain in the forest Already so green Evokes fresh new flora And a spirit serene And the rain in the city Brings a fresh new smell Even though in Seattle We know rain so well So cast away dry

The long warm days relinquished To the bonds of school ideals Trapped within the stifling desks Inside heaps of drudgery sealed In a blaze of unbidden glory The summer's stolen memories Flooding back to fill my mind Late into the night Plagued by grief-induced insomnia For every precious moment Lost and wasted For all the joy, light, and laughter That I had and could have tasted Open the doors and let them in Give them enough work to make their heads spin And to top it off, extracurriculars To bend reality, make it blur.

Satan's lies Poisonous ammunition And as simple as any route down The road to perdition. Wealth, luxury, Sins of the flesh Goals of the worldly Hell and Earth meshed. Peeling back The layers of deceit That masquerade as truth When, truly, truth it defeats. Eyes seem to see But blinded by sin Clouded by doubt A web of falsehood spins. Peering past the curtain That enshrouds a cunning trap Lucifer is waiting there Your soul he yearns to sap. Wandering aimlessly Sunk in black-as-night abyss You finally start to catch on That something might be amiss! The echoes in the gloom Sinister screeching from faint to forte Moc

You turn away, stricken with horror And disbelieving the fate that is soon to be yours The rift through the center yawns wide like a tiger And by a demon you're prodded toward hell's gaping door. You fall to your knees Lips moving with silent prayer A hopeless plea—but the grain of faith Is sent flying through the air. Almost at once your appeal is granted Winged beings appear, shimmering in the heat Drawing great swords, they approach you, Delaying no further, the demons they defeat. Appalling howls and yowls of pain Insult to injury—and at that, indignation The demons are cast into the fiery pit And you are free of the bonds

She was tall Her skin was fair Her clothing had elegant flair. Her eyes were grey Her hair was black For dancing she had quite a knack. Her feet were small She was entranced Upon the soft white sand she danced. The sky was dark The weather fierce Into the ocean lightning pierced. The ocean roared She did not hear Nor betrayed a trace of fear. Without a word Her arms opened wide And I heard her soft quick sigh. The ocean snatched Dear Caroline away She was not missed till the next day. Where did she go? I could not say And this sort of secret is not betrayed. Beware the ocean Tis a wily beast Upon hapless young girls

I'm setting you free. Every time there's a link Between you and me You try to get away, And I'm just here to say: I'm letting you go, I'm setting you free. I untie the cord That binds you to me. Still, I can't seem to forget Through sleepless nights, I'm growing so tired To my sanity this has become a threat Yet still I can't escape; I'm hopelessly mired. Glittering strands of gossamer thread Woven between us, they can't be broken Till one of us finally departs this world—yes, only if dead— And you know it as well, though never spoken. How can you leave me? Abandon me like this? It always seemed a cruel dream Reduced to l

I'm trying to get over you But darling it's so hard to do When every single move Makes me love you more. Love makes me crazy It makes my world hazy I haven't done my work In days. Because my every thought Is of your face Everywhere, everyplace. Your vision haunts my days. My life which was so perfect Now is just full of hurt And it's all your doing And you don't even know I'm never alone. You're everywhere with me I just can't see A life without you and me. Together. It's so strange because we never were But if it came true I'd wish it like that forever. I try to quote Shakespeare To drive you from my head But sure

There was a day when I could live without you A time when we were just friends And my dreams were not filled with your image But all that has come to an end. Now during the day I long to follow At your heels and everywhere And in the night I writhe, tortured By the knowledge that you never cared. But still I long to be your companion Happy only am I by your side. So I will wait, and love in silence, Lingering now, my time I will bide. And still you insist that friends we must be And say all my secrets I can confide But I can't, my love, and why can't you see? That essentially my secrets eternally I'll hide. So forget everythin

It's not working any more. I turn off the light, I shut the door. Did it ever work before? It was not true. The love in me, the love in you. How hazy was my rosy view. It hurts too much. The playful words, an accidental touch. I should have known it would be such. This has all happened in the past. The love I imagined never lasts. But the lovely dream always ends too fast. This fragile hope has been smashed. I should have known It would be so. A shadow overcasts the glow. I find it hard to unloose my grasp Upon the hope to me I clasped. But with a sinking heart I gasp, And relinquish what I never had.
