Love Reborn

Mind fixed on shadow they did not see
Love walk away out
on to the street silent and free
Far Love ventured
shadow clung close. securely
Shadow and Love built lives
to live separately
Each a slut uncontrolled
a whore body without soul
wandering listlessly.
Happiness an empty dream
neon like, glowing as reality.
Sunset Time called home the twain
Arms outstretched against odds strained
to gather close, to consolidate years of gains
Of togetherness, of reality built in vain
In full view Shadow melted
like ice in mid-summer's day
Love was reborn as rose
in lands far, far away.

Living Blind

Pains and pleasures
 know no rules
They come and go at will
In them I live and die
a thousand lives
Each day a new hue
Ever changing,
unknown yet known
I travel through lands
to find certainty of déjà vu 
Master plan chalked out
In hind sight  seen
Each hour a struggle 
to stamp authority
on life out of control
Speeding blind
To miraculous reprieve
Or end sublime.

A Place in Your Heart

My doors I opened wide
to welcome You, My Lord;
With garlands of love
I decked Your feet
and incense of faith
suffused the chamber You sat in
while my voice whispered a prayer
" keep me safe, hold me close, Lord".
When I ventured to Your threshold
You kept it shut, no way to enter
No room for me to rest:
What a cruel game You play
for Your pleasure
Or is it love beyond all love
One that breaks me
Shreds me to pieces
For You to pick up
To rebuild as You will
making me worthy
of a place in Your heart.
