Poem Title:
Poem
She needs to feel in love to drive aside the night, I love to feel in love, ONE source of joy and light, When love is not at home, she’s sad to be alone, When love is not in sight, the world is mine to roam. Beginnings bring disquiet, thoughts that might implode, Anticipation puts my heart in singing mode, A friend’s departure makes her shadows fall, But I hear stranger’s voices lighting up the hall. Experience has made her doubt her heart it seems, While all my failures just enrich unending dreams, Her mounting fear makes her the slave of every rule, My foolish faith makes me a 'dead' God’s guileless fool. She stands alone in following the crowd du jour, While I’m more fascinated by a life impure, Imputes blame to the victim’s of life’s latest farce, While laughingly I stoop to kiss God’s arse. Responsibility can’t live behind her door, It must be me, (I know I’ve heard this line before.) One lesson learned (defining sensibility), Seems all that happen’s my responsibility. So childlike in her need to feel that all is well, It fills my soul to tell her, ‘Things are going swell,’ And though it’s true her doubts at times can cause me pain, I hunger for the chance to tell her so again. Oct. 12, 2014 Poet's Notes: Man's redeeming strength, woman's affirming weakness! What makes the world go round! I find it works for me! Even when it's reversed! Viva la difference, viva la diversity! May we ever aspire to the giftings of those we love without jealousy, men learning that bending is not always a sign of weakness, and women learning to trust the strength that comes from God. The lines... 1. My foolish faith makes me a 'dead' God’s guileless fool is meant to be tongue in cheek, i.e., even if you thought you could prove that 'God is dead' I would continue to believe in God, your proof of no consequence. I am a questioning but mindless devotee I am afraid. No God is worse than death! and 2. While I’m more fascinated by a life impure simply means I take to heart Christ's teaching that no one has ever reconciled himself to God through his own effort, i.e.. justification by obedience (except Christ). If God/Christ can love the sinful you and I, shouldn't I? So yes Merov Tac (PH's resident Troll), that means I feel called by God to love even you, even though I personally hate your behavior.
