Assassin's Heart


Assassin’s Heart 

freedom 
came at a cost 
 
Humpty was 
soft serve as he fell

kicked out from
assassin’s heart

into a dark world
mortal possessions removed

he grasped for brevity
he wasn't single celled

into a conflicted space
falling was as easy as hell

landing took 
its eternal time

the business inside
contracted, custody,

waking deep
from a hidden dream

soul forming
oh, the complexity

LOVE, 
is never free

Thanks Paula. "Take Care" is the placard they'll be thrusting in my face as they bar me entry at the Pearly Gates. Regards, Love Joy Be.
