Unparalleled

Lying peacefully, eyes closed
enjoying the silence
thought to be fast asleep
Then, in a moment,
I am transfixed
With adoring hands, he fixes my pillow
so it lies just right
And lightly kisses my forehead,
then eyelids
A beautiful sensation,
He could be, in fact, the epitome of sexy

What of Love?

When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you.
Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart,
And in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.
But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all your laughter,
And weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.
Think not you can direct the course of love,
For love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart
And a song of praise upon your lips.

Residuum

Sing to me of torture and tears
as you start each day off in the key of pain
From a black heart and blue eyes
You've had it
with a world thats turned its back on you
Each night grows colder
with loneliness draped across your shoulders
You've lost your voice
You've lost your vision
On a road of darkness, you walk in shame
You've sold your hopes
to pay for a miracle
But you've been singled out
hunted down, torn to pieces
A tarnished chapter from your scene you've scripted
to dwell on, to revisit
A failure
with pride as your only alibi
Tangled and twisted
your mind devours you
Hate seeps from your pores
as you believe mercy is only for the significant souls
A veteran in the business of Blame
You survive solely to spread your misery
