#condemnation
Hold off on your verdict for her now. Put by your own condemnations. You never lived behind the wall In the grip of grievous self-abnegations. In the morning, while opening eyes, She destroys and despises herself in whole! She hates herself! She abhors the world, Which she has made by herself alone. She wants everything would disappeared, Evaporated as though it's never been So that there's nothing left around, Nothing reminded of her as she's been. And she would start with a blank sheet. Forgiven, redeemed and clearly blameless, Hold off on your verdict for her now, For her, who leans over ruins.

Hold off on your verdict
You don't know how wroth I feel, You don't know. It is better to swallow my own ***** Gurgle my own bile down this sore throat. You said you're ugly? Can we trade? It is better I wouldn't be this, It robs my peace. But it's not the first time, Is it? I took the spear, ***** rusty spear, ugly. I throbbed my own gut, repeatedly until I stopped bleeding. And when my guts were hanging on the floor, I waited till the crimson dried. And when my entrails lay glistening on cold stone, I took the Spear, and hurled it towards my creator. Ooh how I repent! I repent my God! My heart is broken. Fragments. I have one to blame, yes I do. I. But I have one to thank, Him will I highly glorify, highly exalt. pure as a lamb, mighty in glory. Christ! Christ! Christ! My King and My Lord I repent. Can I put this filth on you? On those anvil shoulders? Yea? Why? I repent!

Scarlet Hands, Holy Hands
I  have five fingers Raised in my defence You accept my surrender We shake, without offence Till, I point with my index Raise my thumb for a gun Curl three fingers back Tucked into my palm “Bang! …Bang! You shot me A simple twist of my wrist You aim it back at me A hand gun for a fist

Simple Twist
#      You are blessed by God      and that blessedness      leaves me breathless; But..... aw.. ****  love.. The shame didn't come from me and neither did the all-consuming condemnation..      *yet my direct words to you  make you feel      as though I am the author of both* Love,  infused with truth is a language all its own but you can't do it.. can you You are wholly unable to see yourself as someone truly Loveworthy You can't see it, and so it is my words to you that you attack      and then run from      and then run to and then fall in love with      *And then  you rage      and then  you hide      as it churns*       ***as it churns      as it churns***      And you think its from me      And you think I am the author  of both *But it was   i n   y o u   before we ever met and because of that,  I lose everything*.. because I won't stop doing what it is  that I do. *Love is different than what it sometimes feels to you* #

dissertatio de amore et sui iudicii
The same ones who hate me tend to try and break me, Curse and forsake me, Then cry when they **** me. Then they see, That they actually need me it's too late for that now, Because I do not break and I certainly won't bow. They have condemned me for now But watch them as they come back around..... For Help.

The Ways of Humanity
Her Preference by Michael R. Burch Not for her the pale incandescence of dreams, the warm glow of imagination, the hushed whispers of possibility, or frail, blossoming hope. No, she prefers the anguish and screams of bitter condemnation, the hissing of hostility, damnation's rope. Keywords/Tags: woman, female, preference, dreams, imagination, possibility, hope, anguish, screams, condemnation, hostility, damnation

Her Preference
some people condemn others. simply cause they have been condemned by them. are you being condemned or do you condemn others? (mostly it's both.) what's easier to wrestle with?

Condemning Causes Condemning
#Assertiveness: standing up for your own rights; Don't infringe upon or ignore anyone else's rights, though It is not aggressiveness Start with an "I" statement; It should be descriptive, not evaluative or condemnatory#

Quick or dead double dare
It used to be fun, loving on the sly. An exciting time, but I don’t know why. What was so thrilling about it all then? Nothing to be proud of. Not very zen. Sneaking and giggling like a fool Only proves to me now I was a tool. But for those of me raised in that time Being gay and ***** was a big crime. Even now, many say they don’t mind it But if I have to be gay, I must be quiet. Don’t talk about my time with a guy. If I have to do that, do it on the sly. They invent unclever euphemisms And further deepen the ****** schism That says we are good and you’re not At least according to the family I’ve got. They’ll just wink and dig with an elbow And that’s they way they want it to go. Of course, even better, just don’t say That you I am one of those, you know, gay? We’ll all know stuff, we don’t want to know. We won’t discuss your twisted shame, oh no. We'll just gossip with each other about it And none of us in any way will ever doubt it. After all, the bible I didn’t read condemns it So, even though more of society permits it It really isn’t right, they condemn me to hell. Oh, I have heard this lame tale that they tell. Of course, I read that book and they’re wrong. They changed the story as time went along. But they’d know all that if they took a look And actually read their religion’s book. So, decades ago, I changed my thoughts And now use on them what they have taught. I nudge and wink and agree not to discuss The crap they do and their errors about us. I don’t ask them with who they are cheating Or other Christian teaching they are defeating By paying attention to the mote in my eye By my love for a perfectly respectable guy.

Master made a tax collector out of me, Graced me with the scent of gold, Fresh and stale and warm and cold. The masses warned me for my fate to be "The Forth Circle awaits, behold!" In hushed whispers I was told. But a poor, blind man now I cannot see The price upon my head sold, One more soul to collection old.

Not all learned to climb the Sycamore
Whence a shadow Ceases to be a shadow, Love can be seen In the Light That hath vanquished The pain in its iniquity. Who I am ceases to be When the Beneficent Matriarch Mirror Unfurls the Pandemonium Ruminant behind the glass. For this umbra Is still the darkness Of a heart Eclipsed In its own Dark Orbit. Until the Dawn Shines Eden Upon Flourishing Spirits Purged of the Loveless Blight Existing only in their minds and hearts.

Dark Orbit (Originally penned on August 25th, 2017)
All is quiet in the house. Your slumber is almost the loudest voice in my head. I can only sit idly by and watch faceless creatures of my rage battle with no armor. Reaching outward, spinning within, I grasp at letting go. All I know is something I treasure, yet wish to lose. Empty pockets don’t drop many coins. Eternity taunts my limited time ticking without a halt towards a future that ceases to exist. Faith in lack seems to be all we’re granted. The riddler laughs at my fate. Surrender to this cruel joke is all I can do within its confinement. The escape route has a road block, and armed guards ordered to shoot on sight. Every pleasure is lined with thorns and ***** my weakened hands. Alone is all we can ever be. The gift of senses is our curse in this nightmare dressed as enchantment. Wolf in sheep's clothing, he nips at my ankles. If I stumble I lose a foot, If I fall I lose my life. Buried amongst the leaves is my hope to comprehend. But no knowledge can ever cut through these chains that bind my ability to be free. My tears contain my rage, my rage contains my innocent notion that drives me to madness. The simple yearning to love without condition, to touch without getting burned. Where did goodness lose the battle? Eve ate the fruit that grants her breath, birthing her condemnation. No handbook to guide us. No map to get us through this maze. We cannot know what kills us till we die. This utopia has no order. No leader. no captain at the helm. So many souls lost at sea, until the waves break their vessels and swallow their strength to persevere. I ache to be a shepherd without consequence. It's hard to stand on broken limbs. The pain is all that cradles my fall. Hush little baby, don't say a word when you're mockingbird cannot fly. The dish ran away with the spoon, The little girls laughs as I eat with my hands.

There's a lady in the morning fog who feeds on porcelain thoughts, And she haunts the edges March. There are no five point dancers With their evening red and gold. Ready and willing to tumble and fall. Just her, alone; In the bog listening to us all. The beasts only swim, crawl, and fly By the Sycamore, rotten and petrified. In Death there is life And all ears are amplified.      "Testify." **"Are you the soul that brings fear? The Specter of my own Heresy? Get off the wind and answer me. Will you light the wild and chant the Lord's Prayer?"**          *"Through all my inequities I'll never       know sin like you.       Whip the poor and condemn the youth.       Blame the ******       Clergymen tend to always do.* "We are justified! **To do what we do Is the work of the lord! Truth will always bend To the ambassadors' works."** The feast is for the thin, chalked with divine And those on shore: honest and rectified. Breath is man's plight, And all eyes lie. There's a man waiting at the edge of dawn Who purges a man of his own thoughts He owns his defiled marsh. There are no five point answers Without their threaded holes Steadily fulfilling to us all. Just him, enthroned; on a rock Judging us as we fall.

The Feast is for the Thin
Sing to me a song of fear, for all the lovers you've held so dear. You'll listen and watch their fallen tears and call their names, not knowing they're near. Sing to me a song of shame, for all the blissful sins you've named; wallow in burdens and sorrow and pain and crimson from which you've carelessly stained. Sing to me a song of night, for all the times you've tried to hide from the truth and reality of all your lies as you see them now; your angels all die. Sing to me a song of love, as you walk away, unscathed from above. You fly, now free, now white as a dove. But you smile, and know you've had enough.
