Blue Rose Of Souls Fallen Grace
by Cliff Lawrence
Living inside myself for so long I think I've forgotton how to care,
I still have these strange feelings that come over me sometimes,
But when I search for the meaning of it all I'm left speechless.
Can't face the real world thats here before my staring eyes,
Watching people go bye and I feel nothing inside of myself,
As if I've been stripped of any emotions that I once felt.
Then from nowhere you come out of the distance reaching out to me,
Touching my soul and releasing feelings I have never known before,
Making me want to tear down the walls I've built so strong and tall.
Go away before I discover what it is that I am feeling when I think of you,
Leave me now as these walls shake and mortar becomes loosen from desire,
Let my heart continue living without the tenderness to care ever again.
Walls come tumbling down all around me as sunlight comes flooding in,
Eyes stare out in the bright clear light of life that has changed,
Yet in my mind its still the same as always before as I cringe in fright.
Holding me you lead me from the prison of my soul releasing feelings,
Now here I stand thinking I have never felt this way before in my life,
Crying out please don't leave me now to stand here alone for all to see.
Rose's of blue rapture clutching at my tattered and torn souls flight,
Dawn's reality of dreams dreamed falling down all around me today,
As I cry out won't you please comfort my broken defeated spirit?
Days dawning of reality's rejection of hidden inhibation of loosing you,
Floods my mind like rivers descending rage from tormenated storms,
Washing away the sanity of souls will among faces blank stares.
Blue rose of souls fallen grace from humanities outstrecthed poverty,
Clinging to false hopes of broken promises of loves intervention weaves,
Leaving discontempts bitter taste of harsh reality of life's lesson left smoldering.
Freeing a soul and walking away as grace falls from heavens wayside,
Left shattered and torn from rejections embracing hugs of laughter,
Blue petals of a rose fall from God's hands onto the condemn heart.
Butterflies rainbow of color fading from dark rivers rampaging plunge,
Wicked weary solider left standing defeated from feelings misunderstood,
Forever lost wandering from loves fading feelings of wanting you tonight.
