The Infatuation of One's Soul

lies deeply in thy self conscious thought
that one's thinking could control 
the souls matter allowing one's self 
to be opened purely for the purpose 

of being here thus not being judged 
the excitement for another being
to yearn the pleasure of your passion
to be absorbed in a place that can't fit

your heart and mine so crowded thinking
crowded beliefs infatuates the soul 
without touching how than do we
destroy the living environment of one's self

how than do we leave lessons unlearned
and at the same time be defeated
by the envy to know someone else's soul
herein the way we live the way we love 

shall capture a none existing immortally 
of terror a soul so blatantly covered in desire
and pain all of who we are comes before
the knowledge of Moses if we allow 

one of us to have the word and freely 
so unselfishly speak it
