You seek answers but find only thin air
How does an all consuming love you feel
to the depths of your soul
Become a love that devours until there is
Nothing left that’s whole
Then with the crumbling parts left bare
You seek answers but find only thin air.
His touch made her tremble with desire
He said her kiss set him on fire
As their passions fused and melted into the moment
They knew this was something they would forever share
Then one month followed another and
soon became a year
Till one day he said she had faults that
he could no longer bear
So she tried all she knew to make
things right
But, he didn’t seem to care
You seek answers but find only thin air.
If t'were mere flashbacks I'd not complain
but your visits are soul attacks that cause me pain
And what about the happy parts? you keep them hid
You return to me with things I wish I never did.
It seems that you hold all the keys, there is no hope for me
Unless I find an antidote, that will set me free
Iv'e already tried the fruit of the vine
which puts a glow on for a time
Other drugs used to lessen the regret
wake you with your head and guts playing Russian roulette.
I have come to the end of this useless drama
I will take the advice of my dear Mama
The only answer for a nightmare
is to "Get on ones knees in prayer."
Though it is not paradise
It's very close my friend
It's a haven for the wise
An ideal that will not end
In this place is unmarred beauty
All desire is pure and true
Not because it is a duty
But because it pleases you
You'll enjoy a calm assurance
That you never had before
While in each and every stance
Your footing will be sure
There is pleasure to be had
Guileless love and romance
Many things to keep you glad
making merry song and dance
In this place is understanding
It's a place one can stand tall
Where no cause is so demanding
That it pressures one to fall
You ask Where is this place
I want to visit there
It's in every person in whose heart
God has the main share.
Love came to me from out of
a word that mesmerized me
when I heard
Words live in time forever, once
they are said, and when in rhyme
they go to your head
In style and grace the imagery
one uses, the metaphor, and
expressions one chooses
All have elevated me to new
heights, with them I find
divine delights
Words can intoxicate, like wine
they can stimulate, arouse, and
make new designs
Words are living matter that
palpatate like the heart, they
can put you together or take
you apart
Like mellow yellow sunbeams
in the glow of imaginative
utterance expressing our syntax
we can achieve genesis
