    The Curtain, Torn

    I stand
    alone in this chapel
    a mere man
    before your altar.
    Lord, I'm lost.
    and you've found me
    but this time
    this time will you be
    there, again?

    The candles
    burn in amber silence
    a silhouette of prayer
    laments the darkness
    but here Lord,
    here there are no shadows
    no sorrow and no pain
    just the innocence
    of Jesus.

    Speak... please
    I wan't to hear you God,
    to see your hands molding
    the cold figure lying before you
    I wan't to touch the very air
    and know that it's you.
    I wan't faith that moves,
    mountains to crumble
    waters to part because
    of your presence.
    humble me, make me
    a servant to your word
    so I can write again..
    be myself again.
    I'm asking for your help,
    again.

    Release the chains
    break my boundaries
    rend the heavens
    rekindle my ashes,
    free the fire burning inside.
    Untill all I speak is you.
    All I seek is you.
    All I breathe is you.
    All I need...
    is you.

    tear the curtain
    thats blinding my soul
    to re-thread the needle
    and sow together
    the patches of hope
    held by my heart.

    I believe.
    so don't leave me.
    grow with me and guide me
    stand beside me
    always.

    mindless, this is what i like to see from you. this style, you and only a couple others on this site seem like they like to express. i do it myself sometimes, but to see it done so nicely from you it's really enjoyable. i liked the wording and the writer's voice that you really got across well. half way through i'm thinking "damn, another 'god isn't there for me' shit". you kept it real and didn't take the easy way out like everyone else does. very well done. nice meaningful piece. the emotion was great. you know what...you're a great writer! honestly, i love the style and everying. keep it up.

    This was dope, your expression was on point and your elegance with a pen has again recaptured me as a fan. your structure (i know its frowned upon to discuss) but your structure was good and the way it was read was very well recieved, your message was good i suppose though i am far from religous but that is besides the point, the way you came across was again well recievedm a delight from start to finish, 1luv.

    stand beside me, always
    my mind wanders leaving I alone
    the sand with my footprints is cold
    the stone I placed my faith upon
    is not the rock you broke my pain upon
    the fuel within my desires runs thin
    my legs are young and strong
    but my knees wont bend
    I've many more years unfinished
    but my will is at its end
    but just a word from you
    will push me forward again
    just a word from you
    will push me forward again
    fill my mouth with your flaming tonuge
    that I might speak your name again . . .

    (feeling you, mindless.)

    This is probably my favorite piece from you. It's probably the best I've read in a while. It was really smooth and the imagery was just ill. Good shit, fam.
    Hence Forward

    I appreciate all the replies. this was mainly just a venting piece for myself but i'm glad to see that it was so well recieved.

    thanks again.
