Misconceived

The surface is truly strange
a facet full of facade
my heart is singing; 
a strange chant...
"the words are unclear like mud water"
sinking the ship of a volatile voyage 
in the abyss of loneliness
"don't rule with me" the lily cursed 
cursed to live with grisly scales of thorny pinches 
preach to me the noble words of soothing pity
they call it prayer
a way of saying "go away but don't be mad"
I have carried a cross without Simon of Cyrene
the appearance is pitiful
because of a misconceived analogy
even the pedagogues have failed
don't cry...
t'is a vision for one
