CHAPTER 1
THE SEARCH
In love's light all is not lost
For the candle burns bright
And in yesterday's memories
Tomorrow's flame flickers high
And night's dreams harvests right
A fortune in undertakings hold tight
In search of the lost life is found
Be tormented not!
For every life deed
No matter how profound
Is conscience of a lost Life?
But soon in searching
You will be found
For today's search may
Find tomorrows dreams
Tomorrows dreams may
Build today's future
In fulfillment of struggled destiny
For in the eyes of the present
Lay the vision for the future
And in the past the present fades
God's decreed destiny
FOREVER STAND FAITHFULLY
Love is written in my heart
And has not passed away
Love is not gone
But love rises with the warm
Rising sun of my heart
Although the night chill has come
Sweet memories linger still
Loving times; cherished moments
Strengthen my hearts tender resolve
To be faithful to our pledged love's promise
I am resolved to disallow
Doubt and criticism to overcome
Faith's enduring encouragement
Keeps love in my heart
To forever stand faithfully
WHILE LOVER'S EMBRACE
When the day gently sets
At twilights changing dawn
Where both sun and moon reside
Moonlight tenderly illuminates hearts
Transparent, translucent, transcending
And penetrating both our souls
With shining soulful light rays
Passionate, unending, irresistible love
Which morning light never dwindles or shades
For gentle are twilights dawning
Effulgent dispersed of love's dawning day
Two hearts of lover's never fade
While Lover's embrace
WHEN LOVE IS GONE
When love is gone
It is because thy heart has dwindled
Love is diminished in the wake
Love's lost warm hearth
Hath gone cold and frigid
Romance replaced by criticism
Hearts gone cold to the gentle touch
Of love's warm ecstasy and joyful song
Hearts recede dim and close shut
As the fire of love is extinguished
Love's joyful promise
Mocked y lover's scorned
The hot sun of love sets on lover's grace
Where once warm hearts
Sung together in lover's unison
Bitter hearts embattled storm
When hearts dwindle
And love is gone!
PEACE NOT DEATH
Is not the purpose and passion
Of religion divine peace
To heal and restore
Wounded and broken hearts
To uplift and enlighten
Fallen mankind
To intercede for mortality
In immortal spheres
If so, if the purpose of true religion is peace
Where is the place in religion for hatred?
And the corruption of the human heart
Interestingly, in the bosom of the Near East
The tree of life gave birth
To three great religions: Judaism, Islam and Christianity
To be sure, the great deity in paradise
Must inquire why do these brother religions fight?
For my will is peace not death!
IMMORTAL QUEST
As each soul enters mortality
From beyond the veil
Immortals kindle fires
Imbued into the mortal souls
With a divine spark
Of immortal fire
Everlasting burning of light
To guide mortals to illuminating knowledge
And inspire mortalities better nature
Imbued with immortal fire
By fires flame to overcome the mortal beast
The divine spark to reach beyond the stars
Sacred light of the immortal quest
Born of redeeming blood and divine fire
Sacrificed in cleansing holy water
Whispers the divine voice of immortality!
THE LAST LINE
Seldom is done a discouraging song
Without hope or notice
Unless a soul is crushed
With self-defeating clamor
But from the ashes
And travesties wreck
Comes more enduring glances
For a soul is eternal
And hope never dies
But only the mortal relinquishes
So fight on!
Brave mortal be not harassed!
For the mortal soul will have the last line
FALLEN ANGEL
In the darkened skies
In the still of the night
Foreboding lightening flashes
Across the night skies
And the fiendish light
Awakens devilishly deeds
Announcing a Princely demise
Cast into hell's abyss
Rebellious drunken power
Spawned from lust and envies
Overwhelming greed
The dark prince fallen travesty
Granted power to stalk the souls keep
And does such power corrupt the dark prince's heart?
Given over to more evil deeds!
The dark powers!
Never to love again
Or return to a more heavenly sphere!
Evil power only feigned
A pure heart is a more acceptable gain
Heaven's gift a more comforting refrain
The fallen princes' rebellious demise
Satiated by greed and distain
Cause the heaven's to weep
And pray our soul's to keep!
Heavenly choirs pray!
And to beware the fallen angels reach
A weary soul to take!
Fear not, sweet child!
Look to the light!
ANGELS WALK AMONG US
Do Angels walk among us?
To pardon mortal folly!
Quietly performing miracles
God gifts to impart!
Do Angels walk among us?
To share the mortal load!
To grant God's mercy
And show immortal kindness!
Do Angels walk among us?
To help God's children grow
To save a fallen child
And heal a forgotten soul?
Do Angels walk among us?
God's light and love to show
To bring redemptions miracle of forgiveness!
To some lost and forsaken soul?
And provide mercies warm flow!
Do Angels walk among us?
To follow the Master's plan!
To walk in Our Lord's footsteps
To show us,
Forward to the promise land?
So it may be well advised
Wherever there are desperate straights
And mortal folly grows
To notice humble strangers
Princely passerby's
May be heaven's Angels in disguise
Angels sent by the Master's hand
From heaven's gate
As Angels whom walk among us
At our Saviors command
And with the Master's touch!
DRAGONS LAIR
In the lair of the dragon
Rich abundance once supplied
Last of the dragon line
Once all people, tongues and kindred
Knew of the dragon's power
Now only folklore
Legends of bygone times
Speak of the Dragon's fame
Hunted by humankind
1066 A.D.
In a time long forgotten
Ancient Heralds proclaimed
The fall of Saxon Kingdoms
In the land of the Britons
Saxon might fell before Norman horse
Harold met his doom
And William, his glory in A.D. 1066
Long forgotten Saxon kingdoms
In splendored Saxon glory
Gave way to Norman aristocracy
On that fateful day!
Doomsday accounting of fallen kingdoms
Spoke the end of English Saxon reign
For on that day, English shield wall
Failed to match Norman horse
And yielded to Norman Conquest
And thus faded Saxon glory
DOTH THE HEAVEN'S WEEP?
Doth the Heaven's weep?
When mortal anger speaks
Homeless night cries
Haunt the rich man's delight
A child's unrelenting hunger
Crying unsatisfied in the night
Doth the Heaven's weep?
When mortal hands destroy
An angry undisciplined mob
Intent on murder display
Justified by their collective hate
Hatred's only Indictment:
A different religion, class and race
Doth the Heaven's weep?
When the wealthy and rich
Declare envy in class warfare
Turning to Marie Antoinette's deaf ear
And the poor partake of Stalin's hate
Tell me, doth the Heaven's weep?
At the sound of...
