invading my privacy
you are a leper...

Blackened baffled jewel 
Your beauty shines as if ignited 
Oh diamond eyed leper....

It's 12:02 pm and I've got to reach up to touch bottom. 

Doing so I grab the ankle of a leper which is no help at all....

THE UNTOUCHABLES

devalued dignity, dirty rags and odours
poverty driven humbled begging
Jesus touched and healed a leper...

The world latest vampire;
tackle him in all fronts,
treat him as a leper,
tag him a murderer,
take him to hell's dungeon,
till the world's peace returns
to me, to you, to all....

I came to you an imprish sprite
A unicorn of delight
But instead of protecting me
You infected me
And made me a leper in disguise

Horrible Death sentence, through a kiss and a soft whisper
expert assassination by the hands of a Leper
living particles with no length
pull mega ones with their strength
accident occurring from a malfunctioning wiper....

Thou who judges a man by disease.
Cares not for him,but only what he sees.
Contrast layers of self emerge.
Paths of the same,intent to diverge.
Thy scorn pain of ridicule concurred.
Will not lash my right of life preferred....

My mind sucks me in,
Replacing reality with celluloid dreams,
I loved every moment;
I could not fathom what was,
Reality or my own dimension,
Anymore;
Spat on like a leper,
For the differences within,
Life less like mine....

Scrubbed rubbed the wrong way
And left hung up to dry
Blown away in the wind
Treated like a leper 
I wasn't perfect but I tried

Treated like a sinner
Condemned sentenced
Feeling small
with no judge or jury
When I hadn't sinned at all.

hopscotch gray ash leper. 

   quicker to the tray with the 
  embers still burning .

  he smells of malt urine and
  pall mall ciggeretts.

  so steady his genius through
 yellow tar stained fingers. 

 leaping briliantly over checkered tiles 
 in the park....

He born in a hamlet
 He became favorite
 He healed leper(s)
 He is said helper
 He shed blood 
 For the sinfully dead
 When they saw HE star they celebrated CHRISTMAS
 When HE was crucified we commemorated GOOD FRIDAY
  When they saw empty tomb the world celebrate EASTER...

the chalice of need contains no poison ~ but might cause a herpes lip

scoffed the leper to the serpent ~ who was trying to sponge out a sip

the snake dissed the quip quietly ~ his tongue had already lost its tip 

but was heard under his breath saying ~ how’d i end up in such a kip...

Feeling out of control,
I need to discover the role,
I must play in society,
Shake the anxiety,
In my chest,
I should feel blessed,
But I am a lone leper,
In this life;
Strife;
Is all I can envision,
Like every collision,
Of each emotion,
All this commotion,
Inside,
Can’t abide,
With my will to continue....

Someone comes to shoulder the cost
Of what you’d spent and thought you lost
And you have money recovered
With lovers’ insurance covered!
But favor’s some kind of bullet
And you’ve lost another wallet…
If your helper was a Lecher
You’d to God pray for a lecture
For The Lust that makes him Leper
Tom, Dick and Harry, Blank Paper....

Born in 1161, Jerusalem had a son
An heir to the throne, an ill one
Moving and acting a normal son
A bloody prey, eaten inside of the Chosen One.

For people's wealth, his left arm prospers
For brotherhood and peace, his right arm decrease
Health ebbed his vespers
Perished in 1185, with mask and sheaths
  to cloak his disease......

The floor scrubbed raw but still they reflect
Stains from my own mess of stupidity and regret

A contaminant leper for all to see
This holy place I should be forsaken to be

My tainted soul shown through the cracking mirrors
I do not deserve even one of your tears

This corpse is rotting from the inside out
Cries of forgiveness from my mouth so desperately shout...

Thoughts singeing
Or love singing?

As we choose
Without excuse
Coordinate of preference 
Following the fragrance 
Of love divine
As we align
We provide no anchor
For hostility or rancour
Embracing the leper
As also the beggar
With a carefree unbound spirit
Judging neither fault nor merit
We are and we be
In our moment to moment entrée

I'll never be normal, or a hot trophy wife
I'd rather die lonely than trade in my life
No stranger of lust but a virgin of love
It seems there is none who accepts me enough
Written by hand but never by mouth
Before being buried I'll dig my way out
I guess I'm too weird, but I'll never change
I can't find a soulmate who loves that I'm strange
Cupid's a leper, my heart, a taboo
I guess I'm not wired to love like you do...

Give your pain to me,
I'll take it with great pleasure.
Let it build so all can see 
That torment's become my treasure
Once it's gone, you'll be reborn,
While I'll be cast down as a sinner.
I'll be a product of hate and scorn,
And my body will grow thinner.
Shove it all upon my heart,
Agony will crush it quickly.
Abandon me to play my part;
A leper, vile and sickly.
With this revival, you've become a hero,
But now I'm Rome, and you are Nero.

And love came again softly
Tapping lightly on her hearts door
For all her prayers and mortifications 
God gave an answer
And Ye shall love again but in a different manner
Having no lover and yet loving all
Like a tender mother, to a world that is lost and become foul
So she sheltered within her heart, 
Those neglected and distraught
The aimless, the wretched and the leper
Till the throbbing stopped 
And her broken heart was one with those who were lost....

We have just agreed on paper:
He is to us all  'A leper'
Still leper with his skyscraper,
No less so with his nice wrapper...

Oh Yes! For him some saved pepper,
Bertram T. Noah cause to caper,
For blokes he'd kept at a distance;
Persons elsewhere 'Revered Substance'
We're all clearly turning fiends, 
Who had been his supportive friends,
At the bottom of it all pride,
As options began to be wide...

More visits to us for new shape
We have blades that leprosy scrape....
