Forever (+1) [10w]
¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ Love is a fire in each of us; it is fueled by every breath we take and it is kindled by wholesome faith and passion. Love is a persistent blaze that is only extinguished by the suffocation of our death. Love will burn until there is no air left to feed it. Hatred is not the absence of love; hatred is the conflagration that sparks from the haphazard tending of the inherent love-flame. Hatred is merely the byproduct of a series of choices that ultimately result in suppressing or denying that which is undeniably aflame within us. Hate steals our breath— the precious air—causing the flame of love to wane, yet love's fire will burn at any cost. Love, of its right to consume, will always aim to overcome and redefine itself as well as any flame that rivals it. Destruction is intrinsic of a flame. Yet, love's fire endures to make us pure. Severe structural damage is inevitable, as love will destroy all that is not of it. But, love will never destroy us. Love works to destroy the machinations we have allowed the ruinous world to ***** within us. We must all choose a flame to tend and we must also choose how to tend it. We must never misuse the bellows of faith, lest we start another fire that will ultimately starve that of atonement and purity— the one we were all born with— the one in what's absence we would cease to exist. Fighting fire with fire accomplishes nothing directly; it only succeeds in adding 'wild' to the fire, encouraging an incinerating confusion. We must focus our attention to giving the love-flame the fuel it desires and let its nature take course. As love thrives to grow within us, all other fires will cower and die. The flame of love will leave us clean and whole; a tended flame by any other name will leave us ashen and wasted.

Suggestion [10w]
¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ Our World                                   Is our delicate time and space;           it drains us, yet sews           all its wisdom in lieu.           As an honorable thief,           does it give and it take;           yet, the World, it refuses           to learn or give due.           The World dons scarves           as dark as the night           as to peddle its eye           round a vanity, fair.           These beautiful veils           of deceptive insight           do shamelessly shade           the reality there.           And, so, the World speaks           a fallacious demise,           and helpless are we           but to learn for a season.           So, painfully teething,           oft made is the choice           that's ironically borne           by the curse of it's                               R E A S O N . Our Life                                   it is fickle, and its hurdles, astute,           are hidden from sight,           lest we brace for an err.           Erectors of kingdoms           and heroes of lore           have knelt in submission,           though truly, they bear           as successors of wisdom;           and, hashing the mind           will lessen their fears           and their Love beatify.           For, whereas our Love           will instill in us purpose,           this World, of its greed           shall indemnify.           Blind to this study           are those who are jaded           by a constant           societal scrutiny—           what spawns of a whisper,           one so oft mistakes           as factual precept           or a mystery.           And, as nature's allowed,           through the pain of what's seen,           born of this mindset's           a fear that                               M I S L E A D S . Our Fear                                   can be weakness or a tool to enlight,           and those of the weakness           shall suffer the blitz;           the absolute's waning           shall surely bevex           such disdaining and hopeless           a reckless dismiss.           Misplacing this fear           makes a host most deranged           and the doorway to           failure falls wide.           The fear of critique,           and of silence and death,           all are but wrought           of the fear of one's life.           For lesser is known,           such siring mistrust,           though, all but uncommon, herein.           And, those who fear           are as ignorant sheep,           but those who do not           fall astray to the spin.           Yet, let ignorance be noble;           for denying Love's endeavor           be ****** as boiling waters                               F O R E V E R . Our People                                   fall short of the brilliance of babes           to pursue a suggestion—           a swindling so grand.           So, of what mystic gall,           so bold to demand,           has the World to serve           as the Heart of man?           The wise do not place           fear in death or the World;           they take solace in faith           and fear not this affair.           Their fear has been placed           in the face of greatness,           relieving an ignorant           soul of despair.           For only in death           is there absence of question,           and far beyond crossing           will peace enrobe the wise.           So, sharpen your motive           and look to the skies;           for alongside the answer,           therein, lies the                               R E P R I S E !

¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ the girl is quite comical. i find it entertaining to watch her fumble about words and apologize to the air . the girl staves off the darkness when she brings it to light and my light burns bright with the words she will share for she's full of hot air (though a little shy to spare) . the girl shoves back with an oxygen-rich burn, but she listens well and her heart is good like the weeds that grow under her watchful eye . the girl gives me courage to pray it all forward and even though she may never call me a brother, i'll surely grow stronger, and i'll rejoice in the Lord and i'm thanking Him for both the girl and those grins as she struggles admitting she is simply *illegitimate, NO LONGER*~!

Decisions [10w]
¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ if any man's palate be perfect, then let him also be perfect, but if his palate be untrained, then let him eat until his heart's content, for there is plenty! and if his heart remains hungry, then let him ask for more for his soul is malnourished and there is plenty! and if he is full and satisfied, then let him ask for more still, for there are those that starve and still there is plenty! and let him share his ration with his neighbors in good taste, and let them dine together in fellowship, for there is plenty!
