"agape, Bliss"

As chewing gum loses flavor Stuck on the bedpost over night As stale a romance not savored `Tis soon moved out of one’s own sight One's life falls into the decayed Through carnal mind's flip and floppy Agape's attention not paid Through mind Agape grows sloppy As one's life became such a flop Chaos to your yen and your yang To flip and flop never a stop Turning you into a wild thing Carnal mind has been wilderness The wilderness of this child's wild Without which the world would be bliss Let Agape kiss the wild child The eternal Agape bliss As one lives life will surely learn Those of the world have surely missed `Tis mind's hell in the earth will burn Agape desires abundant bless The mind desires to be judge Love desires to be holy guest In works mind will always fudge Agape true to life system And holds the abundant supply As carnal tries to resist Him `Tis humanity's flesh will cry 3-1-2010 a·ga·pe2 a·ga·pe [aa g? pay] n 1. nonsexual love: love that is wholly selfless and spiritual 2. christianity Christian love: selfless love felt by Christians for their fellow human beings 3. christianity Christian communal

you seem to be wise about such things. i read it twice at a slow pace to understand the use of your words better than the first time. truly wonderful poetry here. -Always&Forever Lynette

The dictionary defines agape as "amazed or astonished," but I like your interpretation better, Moses. Life is full of surprises and finding your work here was a pleasant one for me. Love, Carolyn
