Show me the way
But blind me not with your light
Shroud me in darkness
Until the invisible becomes clear
I turn to your guidance
As my only hope
Forgive me not for what I have done
But embrace these sins I keep
Hold them dear and keep them close
They are all I can offer
For nothing more comes from me
But the fearless wonder of decadence
Within a breath you’ve given me a lifetime
I consider you a calm
But I the storm
Have not yet died
So breathe into me
These things I seek
And leave nothing of the mourning and the laments
They are loud and unbearable
Speaking in tongues to a deaf ear
Full of pride and fear
I once rejected you
But now I ask of your acceptance
Though I am tainted
Take me under your wing
For I feel the worst is yet to come
And the days are getting shorter

i love the way you express such dark emotions in a poetic way. i can't ever seem to get my full point across when i write, but you are very good at it. i really enjoy your work, please keep it up. i love the part where you talk of embracing sins. everyone thinks sins are such a negative thing...

Hey man, how come you talk about sins when you write like atheist?  Atheists don't need to worry about morality or old style things like sins.  They don't exist, man, so don't worry bout them.  The death of Christ took them off your shoulders.  It's Christianz who hafta worry about sins.

A sign in  the wind
ringed by the falling petals
Alone
Amongst black roses
