Soothing The Soul

Soothing The Soul A touch From a word Working its way in Resonating A resource to look for Longing longevity The burn that brands me An incision to live in Heart hurt Paralyzing from work Surgical solutions Mending the madness Contending Tending to transformation Restless to move on from This body I live in Skin stretched to its limit Ripping apart A station to start Invasive incisions From my inability to make decisions Tangible boundaries Feeling surrounded Digging up to establish a foundation Rock bottom, a place for relation The cross is at ground level Keep your head on a swivel Articulating perspective Connecting the dots For a line of vision The eyes of the heart see from within Mirrored motives Studying devotion Picking up what's been broken Lending a helping hand Turning on the lights Brightening the sight Physically, mentally, & spiritually Ironing out the wrinkles Keep it simple Leveling the playing field Mutual encouragement Symbolic to represent A bond to connect The language of the heart Encrypted Coded chaos Coursing through Adhering in attitude Improvements to include Concluding to characterize Preparing for each, surprise

Enemy Attacks

Enemy Attacks Empty the enemy God's love will, set you free As you're stepping into, your destiny The darkness that lingers As the enemy hinders My surrender Taking me back in time Before You were on my mind Transformation Will I make it? How do I embrace it? I can barely face it Faced feeling Is this how I'm feeling? Welcome willingness Wealth to invest Identifying the in speck The suffering spot Inflamed To enraged to engage God doing for me what I couldn't do for myself Active action Treading traction Amazed by what's happened Never easy in completion A trivial pursuit Letting loose Unwind the tense hands Maturing through recovery Discovering what's under me Underground Where I get turned around Seeking a solution For removing what's within Unconventional methods Baffles the brain Airing out the attitude Coming to conclusions about the cranium In this process Of finding purpose Give it a shot To get lost Exhaust the thought To stop the talk Chit-chat I've had enough of that Inventory the solidarity This killing spree within me Conquering the character And Sicken the soul Ember and ashes Blowing off steam Coming clean The light has been diminished Though, the warmth remains acquitted Smoke signals arising The hope left for admiring Admit the deficit Applying the rest of it Lessons to retain daily Instruments to find a rhythm Helping to make decisions Direction, depicting, destination

Imprisoned & Distant

* Inspired by the song Fire & Rain by James Taylor.    - Thank you for the challenge, Justin Imprisoned & Distant Musing to mend My brokenness Breaking news Choking through Gone without goodbye Now I sit here and cry Reminiscing reality Fear festering the fallacy Testing the waters Seeing how much of a bother Going further To get started At the end of myself Finally ready to accept help Altered terrain Sanity shattered In a matter of seconds With no way of turning back the hands of time Why was this designed? Without the bad How can there be any good? With no way to be understood Driving off into the sunset I won't soon forget Memories mapped out Tears shed through every account Recounting the memories Engraved within me Shaped by fire Studying the details of desire Sculpted Clay conformed Molding memory Forever tethered to be Detailing to present Resetting all that I resent Setting the table One last time Waiting, with you in mind * Rest In Peace, Savana

Desire For Hire

Envy Enmity Nurturing Vain Yearnings * Desire For Hire * Lust longing Envy calling Encompassing Craving the fix That will relieve it The feeling sickened within No matter what Let's do it again and again And again and again Until the end Destroying myself Instead of accepting the help Knocking at the door Here we go once more Chaos calling Craving attention This roller coaster ride On to getting high The magnetic field reeling me in Investing in sin Withering within Diminishing my grin Creating the hell, I'm now living in Goodbye Until next time Off to the sky Mesmerized by the monetary My thoughts can be quite scary This creature Faking these features Substance to smile Only for a little while Beaten to break Destroying my fate Contempt prior to investigation Unable to establish relation Labeled from my mind's creation Generally educated Beating out the imagination Illogical interpretation Corrupt configuration Contortion conformant Doleful dormant Becoming a doormat Trampled under foot From dust to dust Can I just give up? I can't I don't want to There's pieces of me That don't want to leave Demons shall flee As I continue to believe Let me be! Be still! Silence the suffering I've had enough of me Meet me in the middle Ripping out the root So obtuse Hitting the nerve To swerve Off course Of course, Causing a reflective action  Blinded by the light Surgery for new sight Adding color to life Seeing the details of the strife Navigating No negotiating Articulating what's darkening Starting to shed some light Ignite the night Maneuvering through Thoroughly Reprimanding Directing to discipline As I continually expound upon This journey within

Pursuing Purpose

Pursuing Purpose Looking for a purpose That's been buried all this time Til it's revealed in the right frame of mind You're not that far away Though it may seem that way While the enemy is at play Wishing he was at bay Being consumed by the waves Waves of emotion Disorienting Distracting Causing to react Not equipped with all the facts Of how to act Attack the process Proceed in the attraction Attained with passion Realizing assets Sorting to be set For the quest Questioning the quirks How does all this work? Wondering why I'm here In times that I can't see clear Steer me in the right direction Help me understand Your affection To help with my inventory inspection The speck spotted from another person Revealing something stuck within Learning worth to understand the wealth Progressing to improve my health Implementing implied suggestions While, Answering more, of the questions
