Messiahs Grace

By Mord

As the crimson sunset bids adu
A bitter taste burns upon my tongue
The flavor of nightshade would taste as sweet
A vulgar swill to swallow though I choke it down

Preaching fluently like a rambling mad man
You carry Righteousness with the ease of a storm
Climbing your high horse I got stuck in limbo
And the wind left my lungs in defeat

With your perfection I refuse to compete
Scorned Forever By your Messiahs Grace
While you favor the tendancy of tenacity
I pride myself in dissatisfaction

Sorrow is more my nature
I've painted sterile emotions white
Sick of feeling the colors of joy bleed,
like a black magic marker on a wet surface

Did you ever notice when they ran?

No matter, I'm used to their fleeting ways
Left within a glassy awareness when you beseech tenderness
When a silver lining halos your rainbowed sky
Please remember I hold a perminent shade upon such glee

Dwelt within a mind of jarbled jibrish
Hazed by thoughts of blood, sweat and tears
Here I confess I can not keep up,
with where and what you feel I should be

So hold off your pace
your thrills
your discrepancies,
Because I just cannot keep up with your Messiahs Grace.

    It is truly unfortunate that your pieces are neglected by the masses. Each of your works are so lush with vitality and gloom and decadence, and well..everything! Write on, I love this.

    Wonderfully put, graceful pace. This beautifully reflects how so many of us feel.
