#abstractions
You keep dreaming of
The idea of love
You read it, you weep it--endlessly seeking
But it's falsehoods that breed it
No wonder it's fleeting
And as it goes
In the madness you wallow
The empty, the still: a hard pill to swallow
With only the night to hold you tight
Nothing but wind caressing your skin
You want the man on the page
To love the girl in the mirror
You want the tears on your face
To purge, to erase
And make the flaws disappear
And it's not long before
You're falling once more
Can't find arms to embrace you
Nor lips to kiss you
And until mortals can soothe you
These abstractions must do
They're not but distractions
But they're all that fate has granted you

Outstretched
And
Exposed
To find
Yourself
In
The
Chasm.
Displaced
Consciousness
As if
A Phantom.
Holding your soul,
Close to your body.
Rolling
Into
A Cocoon
Of
Newly
Spun
String.
Rolling, rolling, rolling...
To where?
Towards
Undetectable
Cosmos.
Unending,
Then crystalizing
Over sudden sunsets,
Infinitely,
Across the horizon.
Moving towards
Abstractions
Faster,
As concrete
Fails to set
Within them.
Swept up
On the stairwell
Of a helix,
Waiting to
See where
It ends.
Caught up
In the never-ending
Space of Obscurity
That sometimes seems
Forbidden.

People are funny creatures, who seem
unsure about the poetry, that I compose;
their lack of understanding implies that
my poems are nothing, but a series of…
spiritual abstractions. Unable to gleam
the enduring Truth of Yahweh, with eyes
of Faith, they ignorantly dismiss claims
of what God has done in Love… for them!
Without Christians demonstrating how to
live properly, their spirits won’t rise
up and see the need for a relationship
with Christ; if we’re not enjoying some
personal victories ourselves, then our
effectiveness is… obviously diminished.
We should be content, bound in fellowship
with Christ and energetically living out
our Faith! Moral regulations don’t draw
people to God; however, His joy within
us does; let our Faith be strong, vibrant
and visible, whereby people shed doubts…
of Who, God is and why He’s worthy of praise.

Mirrors for mirrors
Diaries for dust
Dead men for militants
Martyrs for rust
Tears over trophies
Prizes for price tags
Lawmakers for lovers son
Lies while the time lags
Up is quite down
But two is still two
Question me not
I said I love you
