CAPITULATION
ON IRAN, TRUMP FAILS NATION
HUMILIATION
“If you can’t ever give up ~~
Perhaps, try giving in!”
written February 26, 2022
surrendering all
to the power of her love...
he's free like a bird.
Date written: 04/04/2021
In the pews, only the mutter of silence
Escaped out into the streets and town.
And slowly floats away into the distance.
Choosing to bear the ill tidings of disillusion.
Saints wear a mask to cover their frown.
The promises sermons made were recalled.
In them are the seeds of righteousness sown.
Eternity found after all the breath has faded.
In church pews, they are not allowed to sing.
Only pierce each breath with icy cold prayer.
And have the apocalypse fast approaching.
With the power to overcome the darkest hour.
Earthy realms enter inevitable capitulation.
In water graves unprepared to capsize.
Lost all the desires and all the recognition.
And the things we might desperately miss.
They leave a shadow stain with a colder sting.
And made prayers in the dark give comfort.
Looking back on memories to last spring
We dream now of what the season brought.
That global pandemic changed everything.
Filled the air as the world enters lockdown.
With our minds still floating around the rim
Our hopes and dreams came tumbling down.
Oh love! you are winner
And no one else
But you are winner
In all your trophies the pain is winner
Those sweet words
Hot dulcet endearments
Of Midnight murmurs
Spoken of chaste hearts
Genuine purity
Of unsullied eyes gazing
Passions copious moments
In a feathered freefall
To rest upon me…
Those gentle hands
So softly surrounding
In a smoldering caress
Of icy fingers and warm lips
Two spirits explore
That sweet breathing lexis
Of a love once heeded
Born in the fiery kiln
That beats within me…
Those rarest of moments
Of a fleeting vulnerability
I stand before you unashamed
Never hiding away
Only you have seen my true face
Laying under the masks
And still you kissed my eyes
As I surrendered to you
All that defines me…
