Prelude

After banishing my foe off to hell
The Lord took pity on my soul 
And returned it to my undead shell
Again, I was alive and whole

But the consequences of a second chance
Meant that I would have...

The stardust male and female still flush with light
From exploding stars, seeding new possibilities, our true progenitors.

With a disclaimer of sorts

Short and sweet, honest and...

your skin,
soft as breath,
radiating a warmth too
soothing to understand-
your hands,
strong as ore,
cascading safety as I often
roam the shores of mishap

chills down my spine thanking God
you 
are 
mine
my love, you soar...

Most of us were born with eyes;
But yet, too many of us are blind.
It's not that we are blind physically,

There are five senses gifted to us humans   ...

Each night lurid visions danced before me in the dark
staring with eyes of an eagle, sharp beak of a hawk.
I woke, and in the mirror, my face was white as chalk,
screaming with the brazen voice...

You left me without a reason why
You said you loved me, it was a lie

I turned away to hide my tears when his eyes were blurred
and frowned with a sigh each time his words were slurred
Foolishly, he thought by closing his door I wouldn't know

I had a dream — 
different ... dark ... obscure
Mine’s wasn’t like Martin Luther King,
it was different

masquerading as a fantasy
There were separate, reality TV...

Sometimes life presents a formidable task,
Sometimes forcing many to wear masks.
Sometimes behind the masks lie seas of tears.
Only love can dry the tears and dismiss the fears.

I sit alone in an ocean of needs.
Our heads...

what Abraham Lincoln represented for civilly warring democracy,

The crying
The apologies
The unspoken regret

So ruined by what you felt
Just an empty shell

She stood screaming at your face
The one that...
