bless the child

I was born amidst the purple waterfalls.
I was weak, yet not unblessed.
Dead to the world. Alive for the journey.
One night I dreamt a white rose withering,
a newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness.
I dreamt all my future. Relived my past.
A witnessed the beauty of the beast"

Where have all the feelings gone?
Why has all the laughter ceased?

Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
Gone back in time to bless the child
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one more time

How can I ever feel again?
Given the chance would I return?

I've never felt so alone in my life
As I drank from a cup which was counting my time
There's a poison drop in this cup of Man
To drink it is to follow the left hand path

"Where have all the feelings gone?
Why is the deadliest sin - to love as I loved you?
Now unblessed, homesick in time,
soon to be freed from care, from human pain.
My tale is the most bitter truth:
Time pays us but with earth & dust, and a dark, silent grave.
Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only iron,
hope is only an illusion & Ocean Soul's nothing but a name...

The Child bless thee & keep thee forever

sorry for the dreaded watermarks on my works, but i have found several of my artworks stolen on sites, like Photobucket and others. PLEASE IF YOU FIND ANY OF MY ARTWORK STOLEN, ABUSED, ETC., PLEASE NOTIFY ME IMMEDIATLEY.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I am very sorry that I cannot thank you all for the faves, seeing as if I've had a recent jump in art popularity, which surprises me with awe, and I have so much school work to do and I'm gone 7 1/2 hours of the day and have strict rules in my life that prevent alot of things, so please forgive me, and I thank you guys for everything, the comments and the faves.

Thank you.
