LOVE ON TRIAL

Exhausting
And caustic
This searing heat

Sterilizing
Cauterizing
Veins that bleed

From needles
Target missed
But not before damaged caused

And a man
On the cold stone floor
reeling from his loss

If he had been more patient,
If she had been more true
Nothing would have come of this
But now there's nothing they can do

Her lifeless body hung limp in his arms
And he held her tight as though to shield her from harm
They'd come for her body, and he wouldn't let go
Until they convinced him that Heaven, and not her body
Held her soul.

Fall out of your daze
And into my arms
I promise I'll catch you and then let you go

Butterfly (kisses?)
Just land on me
I promise I won't try to clip your wings

Mother and other and sister be
Teacher and friend and lover true
Liberty Belle, oh make me free;
Then free me from all that I owe to you.

It feels
Like rain
There's nothing through the window
But storm clouds rolling
Darkly 'cross the virgin evening sky

I know
Not sane
I ask myself who needs it
I have no hope of controlling
The ending to this ever-running night

I pray for dawn
But you are gone
and maybe there won't
ever be light
Maybe it'll
always be night
Without you what are these things
but illusion anyway?

I whisper so soft I can barely hear
"It's time we said goodnight, my dear"
and march along into new life
without you

I can't believe you're gone

You want me out
You want me in
And I'm being tugged around again

Because I'm lost
(But at what cost?)
I just won't be anybody's whore
And I'm just not your love anymore

Truth be told I never was
But there's so much I've given up
My eyes are closed
And I lie still
As death moves in for its final kill

Light above and light below
From whence I came,
There will I go

And the world below
Will never know
Just how it felt to be
Me
In the face of you being you

I hope your freedom suits you dear
Because it's murdering me

This was penned by a homeless mother of four who is participating in our "Liberating the Working Poor" program in Anthro/Soc class. It really touched me, and it reminded me how miniscule my own problems were.

If God is so great,
And God is so good
then why don't my children have any food?

Why don't they have a roof over their heads?
I can't tuck them into nonexistent beds
And I can't feed them nonexistent meals
When did I agree to this deal?

So if God is so great
I must be so bad
that I don't deserve
What everybody else has.

So much for Jesus.

When I was small
The world was small too
Too small to satisfy my searching hands
Which reached for everything colorful and
Found emptiness, a broken glass
An illusion made of coldest steel
It was ages until I finally awoke
With gratitude that the illusion wasn't real.

The morning sun shines on my face
The grass is green and wet with dew
The wind blows in my longish hair
and you have me and I have you.
Brightness beyond all cleansing light
Is what your love has brought to me
I see God's hand in the structure of a tree
Or a tadpole growing adult like me.

I look back on my youth and know
That all those years of sleet and snow
Were worth it if I was to be guaranteed
Of the sunshine it is now my privilege to see.

I love you, you are amazing to me.. and everything you write, touches me so deeply.

Benevolent Creator
One mind, two hands
Each formed a person
One woman, one man
Simultaneously

Assured their perfection
Lock and key
Fitting together
You and me

Benevolent Father
Up on high
Made me outgoing
and you shy

Made you patient
and made me kind
And gave you talents
that drive me out of my mind

My wonderful husband
I could ask for no more
Than what our God has in store
For our love, our future and our life
And I am so grateful that I can be your wife

The privilege is all mine
