Notes About The Poem

Revenge is mine, saith the Lord.

Wrong has no might where assumptions lurk.

Today's act is tomorrow's reward.

Love and the Blind

Love, adventure, and newness reigned
I arrived for laughter, not tears
No camouflaged crime will remain
Disguised, like aches and pain I bear

Those permanent scars your hands served
While your heart fluttered by your move
Measured by undisciplined nerve
Seemed you conceived burden you choose

Black was not beautiful that night
God of the invisible spoke
Into existence, acts of might
To show, t'was love that you provoked

The innocence of a child lives
In all of us, yet; we suffer
New and old, for lack of knowledge
A newborn lets us see clearer

It doesn't matter who we see
As friend, or lover, or masked foe
The Source reveals all enemies
In ways... you've never seen before.
