Ending the Nightmare

Imagine a courtyard
Complete with a garden
Picturing it is not hard
Nor is filling it in

The roses undying
Still sit on that bench
On some levels you're trying
But I must hasten the end

There are three buildings
The gate is behind you
You are just your feelings
Your memories in view

Enter the right with clarity
Filled with armor and weapons
Positioned almost lyrically
To fight what left threatens

These are experiences steeled
And thoughts sharpened to edges
Your scars form a shield
Adversity recast as lenses

Proceed to the center
Meet the tactician
A monstrous mentor
To help plan the mission

The Minotaur knows this maze
And will help guide you through it
The same journey as your days
But now reformed and moonlit

Finally the left
Darkened behind, unlit by the stars
Larger than the rest
Armed and prepared, this night will be ours

Inside, a dragon of nightmares
One birthed by your own mind
As you enter it stares
You leave the unprepared behind

With a start it takes flight
In this cavernous castle
You are prepared for this fight
No longer a hassle

Its roar that brought terror
Now rings with the truth of its visage
Embodying an error
That in facing here is diminished

For me it is a song
Just beyond the lim it dances
A pursuit since lifelong
Unwritten for circumstances

Maybe not in one night
But the dragon will be defeated
With artificed might
On your throne you will be seated

Step by Step On The Open Ocean

"Gentlemen, prepare Yes, there is danger ahead But we are heroes. Written in our code It is in our DNA We've earned skin and scars These seas of logic Are full of 'paradoxes' We have dynamite. We sail through winter Eyes scanning for a Spring Day On the horizon Omelas be damned. Let waves wash worst days from mind Best are yet to come We seek a shared realm With no more dream(s) to distract Though they might buoy Our blood sweat and tears Will be worth each step taken Our footfalls swear it They say 'life goes on' Perhaps it does on some shore Here, we claim the NOW!"

(W)rest Control

Need I say one word? We've tried [that] one already And yet here we are So in silence sleep May your perfect Dream meet you Across the lim line An echo is heard "I do not exist" replied An echo is heard Ink fresh on the page Contracts diverge and collide With you in my arms Intersection stays Written deeper than our code Indelible Mark This turn naught taken That the first might rest at last Finally at peace When looking to (w)rest Remember the lesson learned Fly, fly back to me Nothing gained or lost Nothing is impossible Nothing out of reach

Verdict

I have held this back for long enough. This wicked generation sickens me. This distasteful generation disgusts me. 1,000 generations promised, nonetheless, and so it will be. Did you know that one can build an image of Jesus so clearly in their mind that they will see an idol in his place and feel certain of their eternal fate? A cloned image, without the power of God. Perhaps considered fine, here on Earth, but what of on Judgement Day? How horrific would it be to find out that you have been lied to? How terrifying will it be to hear "I never knew you" in the silence, while you ask the lawyer by your side to proceed? Jesus is not coming for you. You hung him on the cross, you pierced him and left him there in your heart, never even thinking to repay the forgiveness he would ultimately offer. You blasphemed his name and the Holy Spirit with your contempt, and lied about it, every day, even to yourself. So, intentional contempt is summed, your will removed from the verdict, th...
