I Won't Close Them

In case you haven't seen the wonders,
I've seen them all around me,
A vision laid on my eyes,
A proof for the existence of being.

I won't close them, oh no,
I won't close them,
Before I've seen the wonders again.


After a storm that ripped,
I found myself a-ok again..

Knowing

Oh, how can one ever know
What's behind those torn down walls,
What the future brings or what can be sung aloud?

How can one ever know
That You Only Know Once (YOKO)
And that's reality,
How can one ever know
What once was?

Once upon a time,
Time knew what to know
If I stuck my head onto the sky.

If I knew what I only had to know,
I would have an answer to all the
Questions in my head, and known by our Lord.

I would know what to know
And what I once would know.

Would you be so kind please
As to know what you knew once?
Because that's reality,
That's reality,
Of knowing what you know,
Knowing what you know.

@ Julie, ref., "Another Wall" --

Actually, Julie, the "aliens" were just an analogy for "aliens", here, on Earth. Ref. some attempts to build walls (not all physical) between the USA, and other countries, and some of their citizens.
It seems, to me, that we need to solve that problem, all the while looking towards aliens, in
space. You voiced, certainly, a good question, which needed some elaborating.

I, certainly, favor the SETI program, but with the open mind.

A Game of Cards


My heart,
versus
your club.

That's what
she said
to me.

I fold,
I
said.

A heart
beats
a club,

Any day.

And,
that's the way
it should be.

Always.

According to the Dark Forest theory, oh yes that kind of aliens could be the worst kind of neighbours to have   =:o   =:)

I didn't know the aliens were dangerous :D Good poem, Jim!

Conclusion


Formed, with a smooth skin,
in an icy world. . .
away from the tumultuous shore.

Inevitably, thrust against
unyielding sand,
equally-hard but abrasive.

If ice were alive,
would it cry out,
at the unexpected conclusion
of its life?

Or, would it
accept its fate,
to merely fade away,
in a new age?

In The Name Of Jesus (our Lord)

Through the worst nightmare.
Through the dispair of good souls.
Through the hope of our Lord.
We go back to the beginning.

And shine we do,
Shine we do.
Shining to a new morning,
Shining to a new day.

Inside the pericles of life,
We find the worst pains
Our Lord has to go through.

Through His hope for a new day,
Through the life we breathe,
For Him and with Him.

Round is the circle of life.
There are no breaches to be found.
Evil is held back from salvation.
No man can see through
The plan of our forefathers!

In the name of Jesus.
In the name of Salvation.
In the name of our Lord.

We are exhaulted, we,
Who believe in the mighty judgement.

In the name of Jesus,
In the name of salvation.
In the name of our Lord.

The Will (next moment)

Icecold emotions,
Running through my soul.

Icecold thoughts,
Running through my head.

Shall the next moment
Be at hand?

Shall the wisdom of the Universe
Comfort my sorrowed lamb?

Every vain in my body
Screams out Love.
Every muscle
Screams out for silence.

Shall the next moment
Be at hand?

Only the Lord knows the answer.

As I lay in deep sleep,
The warmth of His presence
Comforts my soul.

My friends are all around,
Keeping the circle of Life standing.

Joint forces have been proven
In my reality.

The next moment is at hand,
Covered by celestial bodies.

My friends are all around,
Showing the good signs
In my eyes.

My knowledge of the right,
Covers all the wrong they left.

The next moment is at hand.

Unite Our Souls

Oh, as steady as the earth goes,
We roll into one.
Breathe through my soul
And we roll, United as one.

Oh, unite our souls,
As everyone falls apart,
United they grow.

We are coming to our homeland,
Downstream, as in a dream.
Watch the canarybird sing a song,
Until the daylight reached its eyes.

And steady as the earth goes,
We roll into one.

Daylight saves time
And unites our souls,
As everyone falls apart,
Breathing through my soul,
Steady as it goes.

Kontrol is the one thing He does
While He saves the daylight,
Not from time, but from us.

Time saves daylight,
As everyone falls apart,
As we roll into one,
As we unite our souls,
Breathing through each other.

All Around

Well, I've seen the seven world wonders,
Growing to a man's fate.

You don't have to hold on to me anymore,
For I will be forgotten in your mind,
As you think it.

Reversed reality, holding on to the past
Of its infinite future.

Oh, and that's all there's left
In the right mind, with the right soul,
Left in the fleshless body
With the right mind.

Oh, let me talk to strangers,
Let me talk to God,
Let me talk to the void..

And cherish your names,
You hold so dear.

Don't come crying on my shoulder,
As I will not be there.

I will be all around,
Oh all around.

Will we wait for wonders, wandering
All around wuthering waste?

Well, I've seen the seven world wonders,
Growing to a man's waste.

I will be there, oh all around,
Well, all around.

My Candle Was Not Lit


Christmas Eve, with friends, all 'round.
Familiar music stirred the soul.
And, yet, the virus came around,
to cast me, yet, into the cold.

"Merry Christmas", I did wish,
to friends at church; they understood.
Back home, I went, as I did miss --
the chance to share a flame, that would. . .

bind all our hopes, for common good.
With second chance, perhaps we could?

Mine To Keep

There's no smoke
In my garden.

There's no water
In my sink.

My flowers are blooming
On my sill.

I'll catch your eye
With my rolling pin.

Breathe for me, the air
That is pure and sweet.

There's no smoke
In my thoughts.

There's no water
In my iron lung.

The room is filled with
The rainbow colors,
Coming from my soul.

I'll catch your words
In my little black book.

Dance for me, on the music
That is mine to keep.

Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time,
The story was told
Until the last page,
Without a new beginning.

Looking for a new book,
I stumbled upon some lost children,
Crying for the grace they never received.

No compassion has been shown for their broken hearts.

Who is that big brown man who does all of this to them?
Who is that big brown man, playing with the restless heads of confused people?

Is he a playboy?

Once upon a time,
Small men fought for their rights,
Looking to comfort their crying children,
Lost in the dark woods of existence.

Why don't we love each other?
Why do we even bother?

If that big brown man were listening,
I'd tell him to be a bit nicer to the good folks
That cry for him.

If that big brown man were listening,
I'd tell him to work on a new story.

Once upon a time, the big brown men listened
To what I said and everyone was saved.

Oonah

Once there was a way to get back home,
Where I could sing you a lullaby,
And to your pretty white horses,
I would sing the song of salvation.

Don't you cry, no don't you cry,
My darling Oonah, I will be by your side
And over here, I will give up the fight.
I'll follow the angels around you,
And you know, they love you too.

You are my sunshine in the darkest night,
And as you glow, I don't keep you out of my sight,
Till you fly to that eternal light.
My darling Oonah, you are so precious,
And over here, they're all so vicious.

Don't you cry, no don't you cry,
I'll sing you this lullaby
And greet you in the sky,
And to the angels around you,
I will sing the song of salvation.

Your eyes were ones of the deepest oceans,
The world, well the world would have drowned in them.
Your heart was one of the bluest skies,
The world, well the world would've shone to it.

Your soul belongs to the angels
Because you are one of them.
And once you found a way
To get back home.

To Be Free

I want to see blue skies
Above my head,
Where freedom lies,
And love never dies.

I want to see your face
And your big blue eyes.
I want to touch your lips,
With my lips and find the words
You would say, before they were lead astray.
I would feel you close to me
And be whomever I want to be.

To be free, to be free..

Send me to the heavens above,
Where the smallest being finds love,
Where there's no fighting
Over peace with the dove.
Where no one abuses my grace,
Where accurate intelligence
Thrives all over the place.

To be free, to be free..

Wait for me, oh wait for me
By the flowers that were meant to be.
See the snow melting in your big blue eyes,
Before they would lead astray
And find the dead cigarette in my ashtray.
I'd wait for something to say..

To be free, to be free,
To be free..

Our King Said

97 house maids were waiting
To get painted on the canvas
Of oil and blood.

Oi Lori!
What's your morning story?

Love is the hardest thing to do..

Is it the shadow I hold
Or the light you wear,
That tears us apart?
Asked the Sunking
To the restless boy,
Trying to find a bedtime story
For his 97 house maids..

And for one point day,
The planet's crumbled,
Just 'cause someone sneezed,
Avoiding his own bedtime story.

Hit them!
Love your children!

Don't get too low,
Don't get too high,
Stay right in the middle
And feel the sky,
Said the Sunking
To the restless boy,
Who found a bedtime story
For his 97 house maids..

The incentive for this poem, has come from tonight's news, about the impact the US
Government's shutdown is having on the poorer citizenry. . .

Is There Another FDR?


When the uncaring insanity,
in Washington, D.C.,
should end,

it might take another FDR,
to New Deal,
amends.

The question, for everyone:
Does he exist?

Some Company

I'm so alone,
I do need some company.

Why do I feel so alone?
I do need some company
In my back and in front of me.

I do need some company,
Singing the tune,
So sayeth Thee.

Let loneliness flow,
Reap what you sow.

Take for the Lord, a bow,
And lend it to Cupid,
In search for his arrow.

Some company in my back,
Singing the tune in front of me,
And I'm so alone..

I do need some company
In my back and in front of me.

Let loneliness flow,
Reap what you sow.

Take for the Lord, a bow,
And lend it to Cupid,
In search for his arrow.

I'm still alone,
But not lonely,
In need for some company.

My Worried Soul

As I lay down my eyes
And see the red rose in front of me,
My friends are whispering the song that will always be.

See the light in that dark corner?
It's waiting to be free.
It's waiting to light up the Multiverse
And stay forever with me.

Soon I'll go there too,
With the picture that you drew.

Looks just like him,
Even when the light is dim.

Tell me a story
And I'll smile
Before I cry
And start to weep again.
Before I crack some codes again,
While waiting to be me.

I want to hear your story
And find some morning glory,
As I search through the mist
For some secrets to unravel
To my worried soul,
When it starts its travel.

My friends are singing
The song that will always be.
To the light in the sky.
To my worried soul.

The Children From Planet Earth

The sun in my eyes
Made all of the lies
Worth believing.

From the flower on my table
And the bird in my garden,
To the people around me
And the children..

The children from planet earth,
Believing the wrong God,
Believing the wrong future,
Believing the wrong outcome of victory.

They know the truth..

The sun in their eyes
Made all of the lies
Worth believing.

The simplicity of life
Keeps itself hidden
Behind closed doors..

For the children from planet earth,
Believing the wrong God,
Believing the wrong future,
Believing the wrong outcome of victory.

They know the truth..
The children from planet earth know the truth.
