Who were you
when all their affections' malingering
mirrored only actor's guild
guide of the sly guise
while you were as open as the skies
which you scry for them
in joyous paints of hopeful hues
intermingling laughter
assumed them to be true...

Who were you?
when their packs of wolves
with sheepish fondnesses
belied fangs of cold intentions
while you were as open as the skies
out numbered and made pre-occupied
a carcass kept unmentioned
a stolen name
a life without action...

Who were you
then
is who i was now...
the patina on a crown
still as true as the gold beneath
a stronger heart
from the break now beats

But will no one come walk with me?
(none who lie and steal your name)

better yet to learn from grace
kept true
and kept face with my faith
brutal and honest
inner war with hate

but how slowly on my heart
this impasse attends
how like a fish that craves to breathe again
of such cold seas
to not depend...


who were they to play pretend?
and this is where my concern
now ends...
question unanswered and
vacant.


--------------

Oh how slowly on my heart
this impasse attends
How like Atlantis lost in the deep
crave to breathe again
of such cold seas to not depend
Oh heart of my soul ascend!
In love we live again!


*(Reclaim all of our heavens hence
patience of my goddess' kiss
reminds all time forever since arrives
All is One is Light
mother / father of the infinite
let me be your sacrifice)
Goddess how I love thee
