Romance and Spiritual Love
are not one and the same
two often flying like twin doves
this seen is only game
One carnal commences
putting up defences
other has no fences
Though both are treasure troves, unglove
Romance and Spiritual Love

Death is but the moment of transition from carnal to spiritual life!

the pain
of the body
is over quickly, but
the pain
of the soul
it takes time to cure...
The bandagem that
involves the
wound doesn't aid
healing
the spirity...
magnetic passes they can
heal, if with love is
applied...
love often
cures pain of the body
and spieity...!
I’ve fought through the dirt and the grit.
I’ve dusted off the hurt and attacked the culprit!
No more blood in my eyes and busted lips.
I begin to mentally exercise my craftsmanship.
There were many areas and all I did seemed to fail.
It was borderline hysteria, and I began to raise some hell!
There was shouting and screaming in my head, and I walked around with an attitude!
Maybe I was dreaming or possibly dead; but me and death began to feud!
The Grim Reaper fought a good fight. and I walked away with a spiritual bruise.
I fought between wrong and right, but in the end I refused to lose!
So as I dust off my shoulders and knees, I look forward to a new day
I overcame this spiritual disease and walked unscathed through Hell’s gateway!!
A holy man in a hospital bed
Preciously wrapped,
Like a mystic infant
Radiant, beautifully sculpted
against white sheets.
You're dying you say.
Your voice a lamp,
Another lesson strung
on a rosary of sacred moons,
to be held in prayer,
while darkness swaddles you.
