God

I don’t know what I believe anymore

Church left me with a thorn in my side

Religion left me with an ache in my chest

God left me

Who is God anyway?

But the compilation of power hungry men

Systems in place whose aim is control

Who is God?

But the reflection of your parents

Repeating the call and response idly

Who is God?

But the arms of a familiar lover

Their body, your communion

Who is God?

But the first sip of coffee in the morning

A sacrifice to your body for rising from the bed

Who is God?

[pers-eids]

am i nothing without the grace of God?

He is supposed to love me through it all;

my sins, my shameful desires, my inevitable death.

how am i to know if He has withdrawn that?

would there be a sign? would there be a message?

is it the way Mother’s love has decomposed?

is it the way i’ve been repeatedly hurt?

will an Angel come down from the Heavens,

deliver His message with a glorious voice,

touch my skin and leave behind traces of Him;

do i deserve even that?

i have not felt His presence in years.

maybe never at all, however much it hurts to think.

church and prayer bring nothing but uncertainty,

doubt, confusion, anger, guilt, longing.

have i fallen so far from His watchful eye,

His expectations, His demands;

do i deserve to know? do i deserve an answer?

will i walk into His holy place, with dusted pews and flickering alters, and feel His wrath at once?

will i ever feel light inside of me, His light,

know that it is pure and just and mine to borrow?

will i only ever find light outside of Him?

in music and stars and bioluminescence,

the taste of chocolate and the touch of a lover;

is that all i will ever know?

is that all i am deigned to behold, in His glory, on this earth?

will my Mother ever hold me again, cradle me as if i am still her beloved babe, as if i am loved?

what does it mean to be Lucifer, God’s blessed, Morning Star—my original namesake?

are he and i the same? am i a beloved son, cursed to solitude from my own life-giver?

when i reach Hell, after days of falling to reach my pre-determined eternity, will i be welcomed?

will Lucifer take a look at me, see the hurt and begrudging acceptance, and know that i, too, was once cherished?

will it change my Fate?

will he take pity on me? would he even try?

and did God know what i would become, through all woes and hardships He placed upon me, and does He still feel no remorse? does God feel guilt?

does my Mother?

i built for you an empire and

made of you a god. i think and

do so much for you but

what do you think of it, of me?

i am afraid of dogs and heights and

asking you to love me

Life feels out of reach

So I reach

And I pray

And I pray for things not mine

I get down on my knees

I beg God to place in my hand

The One Thing that will make me happy

.

I stop praying

I stop reaching

I step into the moment

I am with Me

I look around

And realise I have all that I prayed for

I have already won

Two Potters

I am a potter, just like You

Who knows the clay she throws

Hands are firm yet gentle

And to this art myself I bestow

This focus so profound and precise

I forget the world around me

And I wonder what would happen if this clay could only see what I see

The clay sees spins around the wheel

And firmness and pressure is all it can feel

Then it’s left alone to dry for a while

And then it’s stuck roughly back onto the spiral

A sharp tool cuts off all the fat

And it spins around losing this and that

Then it’s painted once and for all

Feeling like it may shrink even more small

And then through the fire and heat once more,

Into a beautiful piece of art I adore

But I had a plan made all along

For this beautiful, detailed piece

And this potter comes to realize another

And that Potter’s love for me

[zoe-a-scott]

your distance and silence was the cruelty I kept confiding to, the comfort nobody wanted to claim, and I did. I made it my own, I made it my own and I loved it deeper than I could love myself and that was the sin. I wanted your distance and silence to prove something I proved to myself a long time ago and you just existed and I made a religion out of it. I torched centuries worth of reasoning to justify the unjustifiable, to defame innocence and now I don’t know what’s left in the rubble of myself. You rose and returned to ash, and I’m living as the life of God, bounding with principles I don’t follow. I made a storybook out of my suffering and I called it love. I made my peers into prophets and couldn’t listen to any of their sound, I made my heart into a museum of all the penalties paid, and I still, I still pray that your distance and silence will reward me while my own eats me up alive, like a lamb on the sabbath day.

Ultimate Desire

I wish I could melt

on the bed of the earth

so that flowers could grow on me

and mushrooms

maybe then I could be a home

to ladybugs, ants, grasshoppers, and puddles

perhaps then I'd feel less alone

.

I wish I could merge with the clouds

befriend the wind and float around

and when it gets bad there'd be lightening

thunder and rain

for the world to witness my pain

that often goes unnoticed

in this fragile human cage

.

but knowing me

maybe

merging with the clouds or melting with the earth would never be enough

for I know what I long for in the earth and the trees

in the clouds and the seas

I seek thee

.

ya Khaliq

you are my ultimate desire

I want you more than life

I wish I could be closer to you

and I wonder

would my tireless efforts ever suffice

.

Please give me a sign ya Rabb

that I'm on the right path

and the right path

is the path that leads to you

and so

even though

I've begun my quest to you

the truth is I am limited in my speed

limited in my intellect

limited by my needs

and distracted by my worldly desires

.

oh al Azim please guide me through trials

as you have

it turns out I only learn

when afflicted

with love or pain

chose what you will

at this point, they're both the same

for when you afflict me with trials I weep to you

and when you afflict me with love I weep to you

both end in reward for both bring me

a step a time closer to you

Sometimes I sit and think about the grace of God and it really does just blow my mind. Like, this God that created everything good and everything perfect and everything beautiful and the moon and the sun and the stars and the clouds and the wildflowers and the rain and dancing and singing and colors and art and so many things out of control, and He's not scared of me messing any of it up.

He just wants me to see Him in it. And see the beauty of it. He's somehow never scared of the pain I cause and that is such love. To know someone's ability to destroy and still give them the chance to create.

Mama gave me music lessons,

now I play the saddest songs

#ULTRAKILL #Ultrakill spoilers #<- God I hope everyone who hasn't played the update has that blocked by now #Gutterman #Gutterman ultrakill #Mother mother mother of me. Save me mother mother mother of me. Save me. Mother mother mother of me save me #Also shoutout to ME for writing a snippet that predicted this in DECEMBER of last year. That I completely forgot about. #It was not NEARLY as emotionally devastating as what was in the game though. Holy Shit. So I HAD to draw something for the real 7-2 poem #Also if you scrolled through the tags this far; caption is from an unreleased Mother Mother song that I've loved dearly for many years. #Hrokkall art #1k

dust you shall eat

there stands an angel at the gate it's knocking on my door it's looking at me like it knows i'd never prayed before . there sits an angel at my table eating all my words the sun is setting through the wings of countless silent birds . there sleeps an angel in my bed and i must drive it out for if i let it stay too long this house comes burning down . standing on the edge of heaven asking if i should jump off i'm looking at the devil but i'm seeing shards of god . there stands an angel at the gate it's knocking on my bones i'd answer if i could, you see there's simply no one home

[ratocreative]

Beyond the noise of time and life

In sacred sanctuary

I know no suffering, no strife

In a place that's just for me

-

The world churns from the chaos

Of a blood-stained history

But it matters not where I will sit

My inward eye will see

-

I bear no evil will for those

Who crossed my path today

For better or for worse

But it is not for me to say

-

The stars are always shifting

The planets, they align

And all of life on Earth conspires

To keep my soul alive

-

Truth is always revealed

Like a fern unfurled

And from within will peace begin;

The quiet of the world
