24 Hour Child (sequel to 1:04 Child)


1:04 Child


It comes and it goes, so I shall never trust it….
The only embrace behind this cold fragile night
A moment is forever to deal when the eyes are open
But the galloping breath of smoke is all that’s left in the open  



It’s the only scene worth breaking the silence
The fragile comfort behind these bleeding seasons
The smoke that choke you alive...
Where the corners dark, congested and seemingly dry
I think I want to pass and stay in bed till I fly.

The hole is back from a forgotten recollection
A false beauty hiding in a pretentious blank canvas
Claiming back the ghost that delicately haunts me
Breaking apart the hands that holds you securely

The apparition of love in a grey vented comfort
Taking hold the pieces of a fallen rebel’s heart
As the fortune wind fated the candles to flame by
It took the precious wick unknowingly to my attentive eye

With it the tragic footsteps took more than my remains
Suddenly the wind changes and the others benefit off me
In an oblivious presence my faith of you they presented
We should teach the heart to like things that will not leave us tormented

Again for sanity sake I threw in the towel,
And now I can see the bitter blinding barrel
For once I ask to stay in bed till my heart can feel
For in your absence every hour wounds and the last blow can kill...


Every hour wounds and the last blow can kill..

The Lady that never Sleeps



Threading through a crooked road, the tears in the bridge and the radical pike
I fancy the reverie of a liberal lime; she secludes a baleful cycle of time

Down to where the phantom walks, she never weeps and she never talks
Expecting much from the heart of the wounded,
The baneful valley she swallowed and hounded







Rest in the comfort of the eyes that never weeps and the mouth that never speaks…
Comfort me, for the Lady never sleeps and she never sings peace…

Comfort me, for the Lady never sleeps and she never sings peace…

Looking through her cheers that yonder, the boy that wondered nothing of your wonders
Separate tears behind the pearls you’ll swallow then plead in sigh and the heart shall follow

Let me go out into the open, you should see the world just as it’s been spoken
By the open wound, breaking through a congested womb,
But don’t toil tomorrow and see your singing tomb.







But how can I be, when the Lady never sleeps, Oh how can I be…
Rescue me, for the lady never sleeps and she never drinks peace…

But my Loyalties are not yours….
Rescue me, for the lady never sleeps and she never drinks peace…

Secret Star

A cloud higher than the thoughts of those
That made men unable to reach its height
the art of my heart!

Dear Taurus, 

The Bull that walks with elegance!
The patient sphere that drove others to wonder
About the power of your eyes
And how it pacifies
Every little dark sky…
And made it rise!

Your hardworking trait
That came parallel to your skeptic state
And your red cheeks that glow
That speaks of the bull’s mighty role…

Tell me why you kept your secret so high!
What a bull, what a fabulous bull
Able to decide its own path to stumble
And boxes of gold, cherry wealth is all it humbles

So run! Run away!
Dash to the “Fiery Flamingo!”  
Waiting to dance you until I see
Into the air, into the see…
In to the art of my heart!  

Dear Scorpio,

Secrets that give you little to speak
And every bit of it is yours to keep
If the sky turned black
You hallow thoughts will keep you flat!

Study the "Secret Star"; why wont you reveal yourself...
Flat to the extent of that
There’s no shades of grey
Only those of Black and White
To satisfy your secret kite!


So fly, fly away secret kite!
Find the cloud that will let you rest your flight!
A cloud higher than the thoughts of those
That made men unable to reach its height

And in time…you’ll cry my beloved Scorpio
Tell me why you kept your secret so high!
Yes in time…you’ll cry oh beloved Scorpio
Tell me why…why are you so high!?!

When you look for love....

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast

When you look for love, don’t buy in to the commercialized concept of love! You don’t beg for it like a beggar asking for change so desperately, you’re ready to compromise thus settling for a status of “It’s complicated” or far worse “Friends with benefits”. DON’T DO THAT!   
it is not proud. It is not rude it is not self-seeking
Love comes out of an overflow! Out of God’s unconditional and overflowing love for us comes Jesus Christ’s death at the cross, That is a solid, tangible, living proof of why God is our source of love and the more reason that we should look unto Him all the time to feed off His love. When you realize that, then you’d know you’re ready!
Keep your focus unto God and seek Him diligently then He will add things unto you.
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
It’s not being conservative, closed minded to whatever “ways of the century” we are now living in or simply being a non adventurous boring type of lover as many would put it, but it’s about "Guarding your heart!" Doing the right thing and what’s good for you! Remember: God is not responsible to add a thing in your life that is self destructive, but the choice is yours; you make a decision weather to have a “liberated, edgy, narcissistic and non sustaining commercialized kind of love” or do you want the real thing, all in God’s terms and season but all safe and secure beyond all reason!

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth
Don’t let yourself be deceived! God has what’s best for you!
