I, The Thief on the Left!

I, THE THIEF ON THE LEFT

I awake from my thunderous thrash.
My hands and feet soaked in blood,
I didn't remember much.

Numb this body was,
From all that had happened;
I saw a horde of people,
All waiting to watch us die.

There were three of us that day.
One,
My partner in my crime;

Another,
A Man I never saw till that time.

Tables get ugly for this Man in between…
...The head priest came and spat on him…
...Followed by soldiers whipping him sore.

Everyone mocked this Man, called him “The fragile fool”!
They teased Him to get up and about,
Or show them if He could speak or shout.

My partner goes along with the chanting crowd,
So I think to myself... if I were to follow suit,
I might just be able to get off the hook.

I open my mouth to throw a curse,
Only to gasp in horror of a shameful truce

When I saw this Man again,
I felt Him reading my mind.
A circlet of thorns was jabbed into His crown…
…looking through His locks, a face covered in blood.
I saw more than just His eyes

And I shuddered under my dying breath,

"Forgive me Lord,
Oh Messiah,Son of God! "

Field of Blood

I had a dream while still awake,
I saw a man ragged and fake.
Times were old, Hebrew spoke.

The man screamed out,
They will try to kill the king today.

Pointing at me, He said....
You have to tell my story.

I am but One of the Twelve
But more so will be remembered for my betrayal
30 silver coins is the price you see,
But I have given more for my might lord thee.
You will not see my hidden sacrifice
That the lord has asked of me.

I know it is something cruel.
But with out this
HE will not be able to save Humanity.

Sins have to be washed and cleanse for all.
I will die before my master has gone,

The Son of GOD, will live on Forever
And I... will be known as
"The Hanging Man Judas"

Pantheist Twins

There were two twins. Both born from the same holy fire But One ... life by example, while the other by burning desire. Both wanted to please... ...please their dearest father... How they awed his creation from the soil. Every time a better... in a better style! All the twins thought, Was to make the best of the lot. Both same in talent, Yet rules different. One copied... the other. Trying not to miss a thing. Only surpassing the other in form. And when their father said. “Tomorrow we shall rest and watch all things grow”. The twin rummaged in a hurry to surprise there dearest daddy With there final show! I’m not sure… if it was Gabriel or Lucifer, But one came with Adam, the other with Eve! Or... So the Story Goes!!!!!!

Story from Eden

From the ribs of curiosity,
One newer version evoked.
She glared and spoke differently.
A charm I couldn’t describe.
Delightfully delicate
Thoughtfully complex

A face made of snow
Skin softer than flower blooms
Alive… erratic…
Yet Calm… romantic…
Mesmerizing wild

She spoke in codes not saying straight
She wanted nothing …yet everything sought

The first thing she asked from me
Was the only thing I couldn’t touch!

But I had a funny feeling and
I bit the apple first!

The Journey With In

When all is dark and you cannot see.
The voices in your head just... scream,
Convincing that broken mind to quiver & quit.

Eternity it may feel like,
To be trapped within these walls of self abuse.
To be gripped in the fear of never being understood.

A pathetic excuse of your existence,
To waste your time in seeking.. Why?
Don’t search for the light in the end of the hole.
Seek within and become whole.

No real answer will come asking blind fools
Don’t take no for an answer, grow your core!
Search for the strength inside your soul,
Nothing will stop you when you find that zone

Remove all barriers stunning your growth,
Take the blessing of your old,
When it gets unbearable,
And you are about to fall.
You will defy everything,
And stand titan tall!

That is when you become the Sun,
Lighting up not just you
But …. One & all.

God's Greatest Con ~ the Devil!

I wonder why?
The loyal,
The ideal,
The best,
The most loved of all.

Why...?
Would one like you go so astray?
Why would you push your master far away?

Then I ponder on it from the core,
Logically, Curiously, Theologically,
Then a tad bit more

No revelation, No Dream,
No vision, No Scream…

Just as a smack on my face,
I was put in place...
...By blasphemy!

All being are with purpose & reason...

OH MIGHT LORD,
How could "YOU" not see treason?

Now here is a thought,
No evil, No suffering, No pain!
Would you my friends say God's name?
Who will it be to test your faith?
God greatest student,
The one who sacrifices even his stake.

Provoking and tempting us… To his very best
Taking all the blame… without a rest

The Greatest Con it is,
Without the devil,
Who would check us?
