baptism prayer
gifting loved ones
sacred life,
a promise to
always be
there.

guide deceased on their journey,
witness teary eyes, turn blurry
watch over eulogy speech,
offering authentic peace
vibrant, fiery complexion
wavering hue protection,
assisting ghost invitations
observe vital declarations,
seal high status documents
letters, scrolls, for the president
crimson, custom made stamps
back when candlesticks lit lamps,
religion exchange light for money ~
honour souls, lost down on one knee
centrepieces chaperone romance,
Capturing a tender glance
scented aromatherapy
meditation, calm, serenity
comforting memorial shrines
befriends a glass of blush wine,
sheen lustre uplifts sorrow ~
hope for a brighter tomorrow

She'll respond in five days,
and by then, I'll have changed my mind
about the meaning of life and love
some hundred times, calling out to God
above, or below, or in my heart
to guide me to some rational explanation,
as to why I'm being ignored, but I'm not,
I'm simply a victim of someone elses abuse,
and the women I meet are never normal
or happy like the rest of the world, but
are rather shattered centrepieces of marble,
more beautiful in their broken condition
than any old run-of-the-mill blonde
reproduction, and it's not about sex-
it never is, it's about giving
and recieving love... an eternal craving
for the recognition of a broken soul,
but in those five days as you're wasting away
in denial, I waste away in recognition
that I'll never have you, or hold you,
only in pieces, only on some other day
where I might re-imagine you as whole,
only to lose you again in the evening,
and spend the next month trying
to put you back together again,
when no-one can.
I love you.
