There Are Things I Never Want To Know
There are darknesses that I don't want to know
I never want to meet you on any street or back alley
You
paying so deep the price of a soul sold cheap
Ripped by cruelty
I don't want to know you!!!
Searing force and darkness.
I don't want to see you!!!!
You're wretched brilliant eyes are too sharp for me
I see what you've become
The Very glaring brilliance of your pain
turned to darkness is something I cannot heal or can I?
My steel? my strength? My hope? my preservation?
So gently into the night comes kindness
the soft pillow.
a gentle hand
Does heart hope to the heel?
Gently into the night the softest touch and kindness of thought doth bring Hope???? even unto a vampire?
Cannot kindness in its meanness
it's softening ointment
a Salve
A cream
soft as white dew
sweetness of truth
Unto a life that has known nothing but cruelty?
Is it all lost?
Like a babe or teen adopted into a space of generosity
Does a soul ever really give up or does it forever hold in its core?
A flickering tiny flame of creations possibilities.
a place of perfect peace
a tiny gem of truth known to all in the cell walls of birth
can it not be found if brought to an island built of such precious gems as that?
redemption
What is to be reborn not in religion but in faith in life?
if given to or lost forever to a rank red space
I demand that you give me back my shoulder
A shoulder upon which children can cry and in crying.
Remember that every soul has a home in me
I demand my children back!
No child
ever lost that cannot be found
No soul ever so dark that cannot find its way to light
to blues and hues of heaven
Follow the tiny flicker at the tiny light that still exists so very deep in your soul path
...up through the long channel and at the end of the longest tunnel they're still exists.
The holy morning sunrise my light-of the true Light
