Welcome, to “hello”,
m’friends…
Welcome, to my life…

Welcome, sadly,
words, ungladly—
Double-edged—
The Justice Knife.

Forgive me now,
my lamentations—
Wordiness
of incantations—
Let me taste sweet breath of Love~~
     Arise,
            Arise,
                  Arose…above…
the  stench  
         of limitations…

A massive grave of sorrow’s rage…
The golden road of good intentions…
A quickened soul, to come of age,
      Arise,
             Arose,
                     Above….Arisen.

Absolutely incredible. I could read your work for hours. Very intense, yet lucid. Again, one of those "I wish I could write like that" things.

I definitely enjoyed this one. The last verse was a sort of coming-of-age.

By the way, it just now occurred to me you actually wrote "coming of age" in the last verse. Somehow I passed over that -- but that shows you how much your poetry connects with me; even at times when I'm not paying as much attention as I should, I still get it. Great writing.
