Bless me Lord

Blessings, Lord, Poem

Bless me harder, Lord, bless me
With wine, as fine can be
Bless me Lord, with liberties
And a chariot, draped in liveries

And a mansion, Lord, an acre large
Bless me with a yacht, and a barge
Bless me with food, nectar divine
Bless me Lord, make me shine

A miracle, Lord, is what I need
Lazy as I am, with mouths to feed
Bless me Lord, with your endless grace
For today, tomorrow, till end of days

I’ll sing your praises, I swear I will
Bless me Lord, I’m waiting still
A little bit more, than what you always do
Just this once, oh Lord why won’t You?

I’ve never felt so bad, human as I am
This life I lead, it feels like a sham
Bless me Lord, with love and health
If nothing else, not fame nor wealth

Greed, I succumbed to it, greedy old me
Lord, you know it, Lord, you can see
What I need most, forgiveness and peace
Bless me Lord, bless me, oh please?

Where are my tears?

fears, Poem, sadness, Tears

I promised myself tears,
I promised myself pain
I failed to uphold my fears
I didn’t even cry in the rain

What went wrong? What snapped?
Have the circuits all gone awry?
I always thought I would feel trapped
I always thought I’d endlessly cry

The memories no longer bring an ache
A smile, sometimes, a chuckle too
Wasn’t I supposed to crack and break?
Unable to know what I should do…

Why this clarity? Why this peace?
Forevermore an agony erased
Why didn’t the world end, but is at ease?
Why isn’t this the worst I have faced?

Death, thy gloomy hands don’t hold
Power over me anymore, anymore
I promised myself tears, but behold!
Today’s just another day, like before…
