Amazing Mercy

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound I once was lost but now I’m found It didn’t exactly work that way I just walked off from you thinking I’d be okay I took a cab at first and caught a train from the airport A few flights later it was smoke first and then snort I guess I thought about you from time to time But you must’ve never let me slip your mind Because I should’ve been dead twice that I can remember There was that overdose and that suicide attempt in December People flocked to be near me thinking my life was charmed They didn’t know about my past life cradled safe in your arms back when naïv

Winter Mile by TedPikul, literature

Literature

Winter Mile

I walked a mile in snow today a mile I walked some months ago when sunlight lit the bales of hay but now those fields are laid in snow but I'll not mourn nor shed sad tears for days gone by nor memories there's something 'bout this time of year the biting wind and weight bowed trees where young love blooms in guise of play (for snowballs strike as cupids mark) and longer nights breed rose cheeked days when lovers pine for coming dark I shall not spite this season, nay, when all hearts play at being wild and things aren't quite the gloom and grey as they are in those season's mild so say a prayer to whom you will that summer t

Again by TedPikul, literature

Literature

Again

Again The pulsing, pounding, growing skull expanding rage of knowing this development of frenzy isn't mine and never will be Again I sit against the buildings Feeling nothing, wait for healing But still the sound of rage keeps rolling Toward my peace like whores exposed and Again There's nothing I can offer Still, a coin's left by the coffer. Skin dissolved from holy contact never mends.. and my bones show that. Again This ultimatum's given Damn, I'm tired of this livin' under plagues infecting morals And what's with all the pointless quarrels? Again Your side accuses ours Soldiers die. A show of power. Universal pissin

Like Me? by TedPikul, literature

Literature

Like Me?

I'm comforted knowing that there's no one just like me No one quite this lost not caring if folks ever find me You see I came to the conclusion that I'm not as bad As some tried to tell me when they had all they could stand I have a problem with my mind. I just can't seem to contain things And when I try to get it organized it serves only to drain me I try to sleep but only think of ways to get my revenge Before I cuss myself remembering how that rage always ends You see, it's foul and I know this cause I was raised the right way But it doesn't mean I haven't thought of torching your house. K? So I tend to let the finer points slip

Intervention

Don't move there's something's been sorta on my mind and I'm afraid if I don't let it out it's gonna follow my spine to my chest and rest there all heavy and.. well I've neglected to tell you, a friend, about hell Now sit back down this ain't that kinda talk I said sit down not get up and walk; cross the floor, out the door that's better. now hush. this is all gonna come out in sort of a rush Eyes closed now imagine you're body in flames Nah, I'm joking. Sit down, Mr. Hardcore. Mr. Jesse James. It's just a reminder I brought up for your sake that hell is a real place. Don't make no mistake. But it's here on this earth where

I've grown used to verbal attacks against my faith. Maybe too used to them. It bothers me somewhat that I'm not bothered actually but that isn't what I am addressing. I was thinking about the people behind the attacks I've witnesses personally and, despite being convinced that it doesn't' bother me; I realized I want to be able to explain God to them and answer their barrage of questions. After all, this isn't something out of the range of a follower of Christ if that follower is versed in the Scriptures and is truly living a sanctified life, right? Then I began to rehash all I have learned in my short time (not quite 2 years) as a Christian
