Woe to me, I am ruined!

Enslaving chains and wilderness pains
are broken on healing heavenly domain
plus graceful throne, envisioned.
Method upholds this marauding madness
aflicting us on earthly journeys through
wounded wilderness, deadly disdain
and frighful famine; distressing
humankind and nature.
Twisted minds and wicked souls
torment humankind on this earthly
journey through birth, life and death.
Yet, we came with nothing; and with
nothing, we depart to earth's dust.
Hideous hypocrisy darkens love to
hide this greatest reality from heaven's
green pastures, meadows and
river bed, unchained.
We follow this river path to oceans
lighted by divine mercy and unending
salvation; healing broken hearts and
bleeding, lost souls.
I wish meditation works
By JFarrell
Trust me,
Today I so wish mindfulness meditation actually works;
Let my thoughts come and go
Without judgement
Without holding on,
Without clinging to them.
Every thought, every breath screams
“Need alcohol!”
Waking to my cats vomiting;
Four days waiting on a so-called friend,
To get in touch with me,
After spending time I haven’t got
Doing him a favour.
Just wish,
I could close my eyes,
Take a deep breath
And let it out.
Especially the anger,
The nuclear rage I am feeling.
I’ve tried,
But, every thought, every breath
Just feeds the nuclear reaction.
And I know there is more to mindfulness,
But thinking, without judgement is central
To how it works,
And I can’t achieve that.
If it wasn’t for my love’s smile,
Engraved upon my heart, my mind,
I would be totally lost at sea.
She is my anchor,
My salvation.
You know who you are,
I love you, absolutely.
Peace
The feeling of rest
After a hard day's work
The weightlessness of relaxation
Finally
Serenity
No reason to fear
No longer any worries
My mind is happily blank
White like new-fallen snow
While I sit by the fireplace
On a Christmas morning
Calm
For my spirit is calm
My soul no longer pains me
I'll soon fall asleep
To waking dreams
And an eternity
Of sunrises
For at the bottom of my heart;
The dregs of my emotions lie
I'd given all to you
And you drank without satisfaction
I filled your glass over and over again
Yet you could not be content
I had nothing left to give
And then, like so many before
I was thrown aside
Cast out like a leper
But the thing about barrels
Is that they can be refilled
And someone wanted me to be filled
They poured their heart and soul into me
They completed me until I overflowed
They granted me a purpose, and a meaning
So now as I look upon you
Inebriated in your unfulfilled grief
Wasted in your past iniquity
I pity you
For we cannot be connoisseurs only
But we must be barrels as well
For we cannot drink alone
But must be drunken from again
Men of Iron, Men of Smoke
Red hands hidden in their cloak
Helter Skelter in their hearts
Silence people, so they start
End beginnings, death of life
Pleasured pain, calming strife
All their “truth,” is but lies
Hide the demons in their eyes
Propaganda lead the people
Separate the laws and steeple
All who speak against them die
Total darkness soon is nigh
All of those who live are dead
In a white world made of red
Let me take you
In your mind's true eye
To blue-green pastures
Ocean-like waves of grass
Flowing gently over hill and dale
The sun gently shining
Partially cloaked behind the clouds
The crickets singing to each other
Fall is soon at hand
But for now we enjoy
Those few last days of summer
And as we lay on the warm earth
We'll daydream at how fast
The year has gone already
Silent time is passing
Pleasant melodies fall upon my ear
Swinging, swooning,
Waltzing melodrama
Imprinting their faerie-like steps
Deep into my mind
I am lost
In a tidal wave of euphony
An effervescent motif
Returns like starlight after sundown
There is no time
For eternity sits in this moment
There is no war
For my heart is stilled
My soul is quiet
I am finally at peace
I hear that Devil's train
Hot on my heels
Come to collect, I suspect
What he thinks he owns
Time is short
But I've got some left
So I'll burn it up
And blow it in his face
Here and gone
Like cigarette smoke
Rush to my head
Speed to my death
Neon past lighting my way
But I can't see whats in front of me
Walking down the path ahead
Red hand in my pocket
Death, in my thoughts,
Is racing to a stoplight
But unlike others
Red means speed up to me
I'll live long after I'm dead
That you can count on
Long after I'm gone
I'll still be around
