Flood, Flowers, Love, Paradise, Rose, Souls, veil

Emboldened by the melting ice,
Deluging hearts, your duties call!
Ah sunny rays of paradise—
A place called home, before the fall.

Awash, the earth, its splendors spilled,
Its roots oft cringe, but never dry!
Afore the flood—the fields, we tilled;
An honest bloom—the reason why.

True-colored souls, ye flowers wail,
We fleetly meet where nothing grows!
And two by two remove the veil:
Each pair will sprout a sacred rose.

Default thy thorns before they snap,
O mirthless ache, O vengeful pain!
If love can flee the treason’s trap—
Then love can rest, its home regain.

Foreign Forests

Field, Forests, Freedom, Growth, Redemption, Skies, Souls, Trees

To muster growth we oft beseech
Those parts in us, for freedom yearn!
And bend before the highest reach—
A foliage past all concern.

With lowered heads, the skies revealed
Unto the seekers, meek, the crude:
What planted in an open field
Redemption gains in solitude.

Alas! Exclaims the sooted bough,
Let darkness fall, the forests ring!
If what you reap is what you sow,
Eternal souls—the Light will bring.

As love dictates, the heart agrees:
No branch should heed the vengeful axe;
Reject its slash, ye holy trees!
All leaves must drop, the dome relax.

Swindled Souls

Light, Mind, Mist, Moments, Souls, Spirit, Sword

Forever moments of the world,
In mirth must be, no pain reveal.
Once choice is made against the sword
its future threat will arch and reel.

Should shiny sheaths for long exist
To ricochet cascading minds?
What rises falsely in the mist
Shall cower light it never finds.

O why would one the weapon lift
If not to hurt oneself much more?
For every choice — a spirit’s gift
Of peace and love or rigid war.

Confusion is a rose’s thorn
whereby one seeks a moment’s lapse;
Discard thyself, become reborn!
And bloom above self-righteous scraps.

Clouds, Consciousness, Darkness, Death, Ebb, Light, Ripples, secrets, Souls, Swirl, Truth, veil, Winds

Soft gentle winds, the waters purl,
whispering secrets of the realm:
As conscious minds expand and swirl
Rejoice our hearts, with love they whelm.

There is no death, ye holy spheres,
Like ripples on the ebbing sands;
Eternity oft trickles, veers
Off rigid shores, O broken lands!

Free regal souls, the breaking dawn,
On Angels’ wings the veil uplifts—
Where light abounds, the darkness gone,
And gone all doubts, their lacking shifts.

To hold, let go, there is one chance,
Below the clouds, free will shall roam.
For every choice is made but once:
Reject all fears, embrace the storm!

Beacons, Darkness, Existence, Harmony, heaven, Hell, Lies, Light, Prism, Rays, Shadows, Souls, Stars

Rally thy men ye olde star
Creep not that light unto my bed!
Shall not be smeared by folly, tar,
by truer beckons must be led.
In derelict, the house of prism
no longer can the gleam refract;
Lest harmony becomes it schism
the pit — the rays must oft retract.
Retreat is in a silhouette
When blazing marvels shadows glaze—
All prophecies themselves abet
As looming darkness turns their gaze.
Amused those ever flowing lies,
Control they gain, the masses bound:
Resolved a soul that falsifies!
If heaven lost, then hell is found.
