Reaving.


Sometimes swords are more necessary than the words we bat around so effortlessly.
Like they mean anything but the half-expressed sorrows of a dying soul.

We cling to ink on paper as if it will save us.
When in the end, fire consumes and ash is the final product of our empire of words.

Blood shed is one of the few things that can truly change the ebbing of humanity.
Peace stifles, talking stagnates, writing clutters, poems thin the ever waning lifeblood of humans.

Nothing of value was ever weaned from the bosom of stability.
Pacification served no purpose save that of a pacifier.

Manhood is so unseemly when a woman takes up it's banner.
Almost as bad as the man who left it long ago.

Those that care more for the creatures than the souls that consume them.
Lose their bodies and minds to become the same kind.

When the arms of good men are bound as per law.
The law applies to naught but good men.

Faith has become a crutch to a crippled dominion.
The stick in the armpit feels so comfortable now.

We paint our faces no longer for war or for dancing.
Alternate faces put on for show are masks that cripple when removed.

Falling is now an accepted fate.

Why do people think that God cares about what they care about?


Because they're dumb, that's why.

Eyes

God has an amazing way of slapping us in the face in the most delightful ways.
How are we so stupid to think that we know what is good for us, or what his plans are for us?
Why do we think we know better?
How can we even want ANYTHING but his will?
I know all of this, and yet I still continue to beat my own path in this maelstrom, like I know what I'm doing!
I wouldn't even know where to go if I even found out how to get places.
Followers of Christ are often likened to sheep.
I think I'm finally realizing why.
We're dumb as rocks. Or in this case, sheep




Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."

Surrender.

I want to stop using this keyboard as my only weapon.
My fists are out of practice.
Perhaps I'm getting old.
Perhaps I'm getting passive.
Nothing worthwhile is uncontested.
Maybe I have to find a while that's worth it.

November.

Doesn't like November. Someone change his opinion, please.

now


lets not clean up after ourselves lets run in the rain lets climb a tree and jump into the sea lets run through the field barefoot lets play with no coat and forget our hat lets frolic in the waves and swim with the dolphins lets write words that have no meaning lets stare at the sun while we chew on our gum lets throw rocks in the pond and make friends with the frogs lets make a cake and eat it too lets make a song that cheers someone up lets bury our watches our phones and our money lets be animals ill be a wolf lets swim to the south pole and fish with the penguins lets make a big kite and fly to the space station lets jump real high so the sky is the floor and the stars are our friends lets make our picture and hang it to cover the hole in the world with brightness and beauty so that God looks down and smiles and comes over to have some tea and cake.

Let's live life to it's fullest, as if there's no tomorrow.

A young warrior stands up tall
His blade shining in the sun
The strength of his body uncontainable
His arm longs for bloodshed

Impatiently he trains and hones his skills
He yearns for the day when he is unleashed
To fight in glorious battle against evil so foul
To return home a champion

Day after day, gaining strength in his being
He grows tough, quick, agile and strong
The wounds he receives are met with great joy
For they teach him the way of war

On this day he is called
This day it is for real
He shudders with anticipation
And quenches the bile of fear

Is he ready to face this challenge?
Will he stand up brave and true?
Can he face this day with glory?
Is he really ready for this fight?

The sights and smells of battle
Alien to his senses
The glory imagined diminished through sight
His consciousness battered

The missiles of war soar past his head
The clanging of steel so near
The screams of the dying resounding around
One last breath before the plunge

Cleaving the skull of an enemy he turn
Shoves his sword to spill out one's guts
Limbs being cleft with smoothness of motion
Puddles of blood at his feet

The screams of the wounded reverberate
They become lost in his mind
For killing is his life now
An eternity without end

Suddenly his chest becomes cold
Looking down he sees
The piece of tree in his chest
Letting out his soul

He pulls the arrow from his heart
Blood gushes from the wound
Pushing his sword through a man's spine
Another enemy down

His eyes start to blur
He feels the bite of steel
His arm cleft through by the sword of another
Falling to the ground

Laying on his back in a pool of innards
He has no time to think
Was this what his life was for
As he raises his.........
