Azriel Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 Sonnet What have I done to earn your love my dear, That I should have so great a heart for mine, And for myself so great of God a mirror? There's not another smile so sweet or fine. Was it in my words to you my dearest? Or in those kind affections that I bore? The golden apple goes unto the fair'st; From Venus' own white arms the fruit you tore. Was it good deeds of chivalry from me? Was it good acts that won for me your heart? But none of these can earn your heart of gold, Though each may in its own way play a part. It is the love with which I did these things! True love: the coveted of jealous kings!
Azriel Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 "Journal Charms Her Author" From the dark you call me forth I know it has been a hard week for you And I know that I normally listen But if you will listen, I will speak to you Run your fingers up my spine Become lost in my eyes, let me speak to you You always gave me all your words But if you are quiet, I will speak to you See? You are better than you were You know the truth I speak to you Just remember who you used to be With your own words I speak to you Closer... let these words enchant you Hover silently as I speak to you You can not always do the talking For it is I who will now speak to you Do you see? I am all you will need So just stay with me while I speak to you And as the words drip from me You will absorb what I speak to you How delightfully haunting it is With the past I speak to you So you fall into me So I speak to you
Azriel Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 Fall Floating and falling, freedom is calling Swirl and spin to land upon the ground Wind is blowing, calling the new season Floating and falling, the leaves are falling From left to right, the warm wind is shifting Forming pictures in the cooling minds Summoning the cold hearts to the warm house From left to right, the cool wind is pushing Down, down the leaves will fall Around the leaves will spin Leaves beckon the new age Down, down the leaves do fall Around the elven den Leaves fall upon the stage Floating on the babbling stream in upward gaze Watching his fellow brothers and sisters They too make the same wind crossed dance of grace Floating on the babbling stream in falling daze Washing away the warm summers blaze Swirling the warm colors together Giving the last warming thoughts of the year Washing away living thoughts in the haze Floating down the stream bed Calling for the harvest Giving thanks to giving Floating down river beds Calling out to the best
Azriel Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 Adoration" silently I step inside and scatter off the rain droplets dancing to the floor I leave my coat aside to dry I gaze around and take it in the lights are low the candles burn flickering shadows bow and sweep cross the walls swirling wisps of smoke float up and slip away my eyes fix upon you the one sitting alone and clothed in white you have awaited my coming here patience unbroken and love undying my heartbeat quickens and drums my chest the sole desire of my being mere steps away my ultimate my love my everything I approach still damp and dripping so close we look into each other I fall to my knees without words my soul sings and soars unbounded flames engulf my heart with roaring passion what have I to give that is not already yours I will give you all the love my meager being holds you hold me in your arms beaming pressed to your heart I am filled and overflowing
Azriel Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 Tenebrae Words fade Thoughts vanish Silence rushes in As if... A light too bright to perceive or sound too loud to hear No sense can know the ineffable Myself alone again - I doubt I am a fool Yet the unknowable calls again, too sweet to resist In this mystery is peace
Azriel Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 Untitled #1 With tender care and grace You did create And fashion life in tiny, precious form. You breathed into being a soul, O Artist Great And placed its person somewhere safe and warm, Entrusting Your creation to other beings You made, Inviting them to share in Your great work. How noble when accepted, unafraid! With trust in You, this duty they won't shirk. This gift of living, to all You gave, Including me, for which I give You thanks. Your only Son laid down His life to save My eternal one, so I could join Your ranks. Let every breath I draw be in Your praise And with this life I'll set the world ablaze.
Azriel Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 Untitled #2 Silence breaks the day Loneliness creeps away Saddening hearts hit low Cracks in the living flow Passage of time forever It stops never Darkness surrounding Daylight 'a hounding Light tries to break Fluorescent glow fake Silent hum now I want out, but how? Anger fills Excitement thrills Tears cascade down Loneliness found Time hits end Nothing to mend Outcasted, alone Crown the throne Hear the call Take the fall Life flies One dies Live fulfilled Don't get killed Death is here Hold that tear Rules bend Old friend Last word Ever heard
Azriel Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 Untitled #3 No one knows the pain I keep inside, I have to remain just me, Not the one who sheds a tear, But the one who wears her smile on. Why does it never go away, Even when happiness comes, I have everything I need, Why do I feel this way? I want to be happy, I want to be true, But every up has it’s down, And each hurts more anew. I wish I could tell, But fear keeps me back, Don’t want to bother, But my mind is running dry. I want to go away, I want to fly from it, I often visit in my dreams, A utopia never to be. Someone please rescue me, Someone please come, I need to help my weary soul, Before it goes too far…
Azriel Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 Untitled #4 Slowly I am slipping, Can you rescue me? I am falling under, What is the price for the fee? Please grab my hand, Please pull me up, Out of the water, And onto land. Why are you standing? Why don’t you move? Don’t you see me? Choking and drowning? Your memories go past, As I sink further down, Dimming they go, Until they are gone at last. Now I struggle for breath, My eyes tunnel black, I thrash in my sorrows, Until I am consumed by death.
Azriel Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 Faith I will walk on water Once When my faith is strong Taking strides, Balanced on mirrored footsteps, Watching the sun dance In tiny ripples I will try to find my way To the other side. Only, just when I come close I will remember, like St. Peter, That I am only a man.
Azriel Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 Untitled #5 King Arthur set out on a quest in order to prove he was the best, and also to find the Holy Grail so off he went down the wooded trail. Very soon, he came upon a fight, with the Green Knight losing to the Black Knight. The Black Knight said, "None shall pass", But a few arms and legs later, the king passed by-fast. Accompanied by the sound of coconuts, the king came upon a cluster of huts. Among a mob of witch-hunters here Arthur met the knight Sir Bedevere. Soon they were joined by many knights groovy, including Sir Not-appearing-in-this-movie. They came upon the castle Camelot where people eat ham and jam and Spam a lot. They tried to use a wooden rabbit to fool the French, but as luck would have it, they all forgot to hide inside so they all ran away to hide. All the knights had different adventures. Different paths they did venture. But soon they met up again, and continued on, and then They met a strange enchanter named-Tim. So the party decided to follow him. The evil rabbit an obstacle made, but not for the Holy Hand Grenade. They discovered the Grail could be at the Castle of Arrgh. (Which, you should know, is not in Camargue.) So through the mountains they did forge until they came to a deadly gorge. There they had to answer questions three. (The king got by one about a sparrow's velocity.) Two others, I'm sorry to say, got lost when into the deadly gorge they were tossed. They came upon the Castle of Arrgh. The king began to lead a charge, but in the end they got arrested, the only time the king was bested. From coconuts to black knights to the Knights who say "Ni", this movie is one you really have to see. So go rent this movie without fail; it's "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".
Azriel Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 Why Am I? We might never speak it aloud But this question echoes in our hearts An answer is repeated in every picture, In the lyrics of our favorite songs All these influences seek to define us Emulate the people they provide But as all these fake faces fade, we realize These role models can’t stand up to life We seem so lost, in the future that looms We question, we long, and we wait. Who could we possibly be, and beneath that Are we worth it, are we worth anything? But we are worth everything, the greatest sacrifice Was made, long ago on a hill, on the cross Our role model stands before us Loving, praying that we’ll notice But we are torn, lost amongst the shadows That pull us apart, tell us that we are nothing Why should we care, why should we give in? Are we worthy of God, the great I AM? Why I AM? Because He can take everything. He bears all burdens, heals all wounds, Can withstand your pain and guilt Help you remember the joy of life. He is all that surrounds you So great, so grand, so powerful Yet he sees you, cares for you Even though you don’t think it’s possible You are noticed, better yet, loved Loved so powerfully and well Beyond all comprehension, belief A love that outweighs any sin, wrong committed To him you are precious, priceless Worthy of everything good and truthful No matter the flaw, you’re beautiful He longs to see you fulfill your purpose Something you so long to know Something that will remain a question Until you open your arms, humbly with trust Until you say, I AM YOURS I am Yours You call me your child I can’t understand why I’m so lost, so afraid But then I’m shown All the joy that exists In everything that you’ve made I see the beauty that surrounds The strength that abounds The laughter ‘midst the pain I thought that there was something wrong I could never hear your song Catch its sweet refrain But as I give in, I see – the song within me I can find its melody Familiar as the beating of my heart With the love that encircles us Our spirits can never be conquered We are loved, we are holy, and we are yours
Azriel Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 Raining Up It’s raining up, How can that be? The world I love Has abandoned me. The sky’s so blue, Cloudless, and clear, But the ground’s raining up; Something evil is near. This whole predicament Is ruining my day. It’s sunny and warm, I have many games to play. Maybe if I investigate, Figure out what’s going on, Soon I can play, Not a scared pawn. Take two steps forward... It saw me! Retreat! Run fast! Darn it got me! One more look, I must go see, Oh no! I’m dead! Mommy caught me! “Amanda Jean! Get away from that sprinkler! You’ll catch your death of cold, Plus, you’ve got mud on your shoulder.” See what happens, When it rains from the ground. I’m brought in the house, Like a dog to the pound. Someday I’ll find out Why it rains from the ground, And I’ll make sure you’re around; But what do you expect, From lil ol’ me, It happens to be, That I’m only three.
Azriel Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 Once Upon A Lime I once thought my life was concrete til the day I learned it wasn’t set I once thought the world was an orange when it’s actually one giant lemon I once thought I had a migraine but something called "love" hit me hard, an aluminum baseball bat on the head all polished up and hollow I once thought I thought too much up to the day I stopped thinking I once met an actor who’s voice was like fire he told me that I had wings I once thought the world was a grapefruit then I found out it’s a lime I learned that my life’s more like clay and this time the bat's made of ash
Azriel Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 …No Mommy doesn’t love me Daddy never knew about me Doesn’t he have a right? Maybe he would fight for this life Thought this was the safest place A place of innocence I’m innocent! This is a Commandment What don’t you get about “Thou Shalt Not”? You’d rather live with the pain Than live a life with me? Don’t listen to them Listen to me Listen to my silent screams Can’t you feel me? I haven’t even cried Why should I die? You don’t even know me Don’t you want to know me? See this face for real, not just on a screen Look, I’m smiling No time to pray? Fine, then send me away You’d better say goodbye Up in the clouds this soul will fly Will I see you again in heaven…
