A journey through the darkness (reblog)

May I have your attention

please lend me your ear

and hear a true story

of a night that lasted years.

Lost in a dark and dreary place

I was trapped in my own prison

I could not admit or accept the fact

this undoing had been my decision.

My eyes now glazed over

and my hearing grown dull

I waited and searched for an uncomparable gift

but my heart the deceiver had lulled.

Trying to find my way back home

on knees I crawled battered and bruised

Oh why has grace removed itself far from me,

my soul is continually refused.

Oh bright and shining, morning star

I ask you to show me the way

please help my eyes to see the light

and turn this darkness to day.

When my words had run out, I ended my pleas

and I lifted up my eyes

a beacon of light was beckoning me

and it lit up a path from the skies.

The ice on my heart began to melt

a new warmth I felt within

healing the wounds that were there for so long

assuring me I was forgiven for my sins.

Just then I heard a voice

speaking straight to me…

“Never again fear the darkness of night,

trust in my way and you will be free.

For it is in the darkness

that the light you seek burns bright,

an aide to help you along the way

to keep you fighting the good fight.”

My spirit renewed, I gave thanks in silent awe

the gift of grace had returned,

It’s roots now deeper than ever before

to preserve in me all that I’d learned.

Run

Well, what can I say? I just discovered this song and I am rendered speechless (trust me that does not happen too often ) and am totally swept away. An absolute stunning, soulful, powerful piece with impassioned lyrics sung by the voice of an earthly angel. I am wowed. You have to listen to know and appreciate fully. I feel this song was plucked straight out of my soul. Prepare to be transported to celestial realms. Turn it up, enjoy, and feel free to leave your thoughts. Happy Thursday!

Don’t you cry tonight

As some of you know already, my mother was a victim of violent crime. There were no goodbyes, embraces or words of love before she was so viciously taken.I think of her often, and sometimes it is accompanied with good memories and smiles, sometimes in the horror of imagining how she felt those final moments of her life, leaving behind six children and 6 grandchildren, sometimes through the waves of pain that ebb and flow over my soul as I yearn to hold her, hug her and tell her how much I love her and miss her. My mother was a beautiful woman, full of love, wisdom and laughter, her light shining brightly in the midst of all she came in contact with, her heart reaching out to share her vibrant spirit to those close to her, even to strangers. She was amazing, the coolest mom in the world. She was open minded and enjoyed all kinds of music, one hell of a cook and a good listener, amongst a thousand other things. Once she took me and my oldest brother, whom I love so much with all my heart, and his girl, to a Pink Floyd concert when I was 16, he 18. I remember our voices being so hoarse the next day as we laughed at the time we had.

This song by Guns and Roses was playing one night very shortly after her death. I could feel her speaking to me through the words of this song, her spirit moving in my heart and soul through these words. I am weeping now as I type this to you. I wanted to share this song and the beautiful lyrics with you, and lift up my mothers sweet memory to the cosmos through the witnesses of my amazing readers. Thank you for taking a moment to feel with me, and I pray a special comfort and peace for those out there who have lost someone they love dearly. May the memory of our loved ones continue to live and give through our lives, their light having never truly gone out through the legacy they left with us and the way they impacted our lives. Love you mamma, so much….Thank you for still checking in on me from time to time and speaking words of comfort….I feel every one and know you are there……Until we meet again……. </3

Sweet Dreams

Had to share this with you all. This song has been stuck in my head for a couple days now. I have been writing the next chapter of my story ‘My Angel of Night’ set to this. I love the feel of this version by Emily Browning, so dreamy, otherworldly, sensual, a bit of foreboding, haunting and enchanted….love the instrumentals….LOVE IT! As most of you know, the original band for this song was Eurythmics from 1983, which I grew up listening to, and loved it then too. I also like Marilyn Manson’s version, it is also pretty good. But I am all about dark and sensual, as much as I am about purity and light.   I saw this movie ‘Sucker Punch’, and thought it was O.K, all the good parts were the action scenes. Anyways, turn it up and enjoy. Hope to have part 11 out soon.

Snake

Raindrops splash on my open window pane

night settles as the day has come to a close

a gust of wind blows in the fragrance

of the beautiful night blooming rose.

The rose scented wind beguiles me

caressing my gown, whispering through my hair

defenseless against it’s deceits I stand here

trapped like a fawn in it’s snare.

The sweet scent conjures the passion of buried memories

heated thoughts of you and I

blood red petals float in a steaming porcelain bath

our fevered bodies joined in pleasured sighs.

I close my eyes in silent reverie

as I relive the fantasy scene

my body now flushed in heady desire

remembering the way you made me scream.

Rumbles of thunder rouse me away from you

a sudden flash of lightening and a feeling of forlorn

the bite of reality comes crashing down

for many nights since, your body I mourn.

Blind sighted by your charm you’d slithered in my soul

and lied in wait in my most sacred hiding place

taking shelter in my love, your appetite you satisfied

feasting, gorging, taking what you wanted from my grace……

and now you have left me alone to burn

gone without a trace.
