Alrighty folks! Been a bit since i last posted, but i got some new ones for ya. Well, some of them aren't so new, but most of you probably haven' seen them before. As usual, they are all rather dark...or dismal i should say. Anywho, I would greatly appreciate feedback!!!
Imprisoned
The icy grip of winter's claw,
Seems grasping at me tightly.
Fear yet to be consumed,
Burns within my being.
Am I to be enslaved,
Forever victim of its snare?
For I sway upon an edge,
It awaits me to fall.
As cold as death,
Its ropes bind me.
Twisting my fate to its own,
It seeks my destruction.
But Lo I shall be free,
For yea, it cannot last.
Its strength is limited,
To the passing of time.
Its grip has weakened,
Quietly I slip away.
The endless night is over,
The Morning has finally come.
Lament
(In case your wondering, this one's about a chap in hell...cheerful subject aint it?)
Why had I chosen,
The way of the fool.
How could I have lost,
The Straight and Narrow.
Darkness covers me,
“Oh it would end!”
The torture, the pain,
It goes ever on.
Eternal darkness,
Is where I now lay.
For the sower reaps,
What he has sown.
If you can listen,
Just for time’s moment.
Heed my final cry,
And do as I say
The Straight and Narrow,
Is the only way.
Believe in the Cross,
And a Savior’s promise.
Two doors before you,
A choice must be made.
Eternal death,
Eternal life.
Choose, let it be done,
Now reap what you have sowed,
The harvest has come.
Your reward awaits,
Go, Enter in
