A snare as a bear trap
My feet have become entangled in this web
A new phobia
And I feel sick
Vomit on this choke

The refreshing scent of reminder
How far it feels
Love lying in a trap of butterflies
Dying in the midst
If you forget

Seperate and different
Chop through this wall
Come back please
Mysterious miss
Dreadfully seperate

Death would be better
Alone and thin air
Dangling
The power of a trap
Hold you firm under this water

Empty
Won't you come back to me
Or me to you
Its not the same
There's no promise

Listen to the stupid angel
His whispers of distraction
His teeth so slick
Mighty in folly
He is still the stupid one

I have to get off my face
And my steps land somewhere new
Please this rot away from me
Your glorious beauty
Prescious one, I'm sorry

You tell me it will be ok
Don't forget me and let me love you
Imperfection a plague for all
Like a necklace with a sharktooth
Take it off, please accept my love

Even if my world falls I will say...
You are holy
Your promises always prove true
A cure for my diseases
And I feel sick
-------------------------------

I'm not really interested in praise for this one, just respect, if that.  Thank you.

Corruption is caused by holes in obedience to God.

a couple things i think...
first, the praise you are not seeking in this incredible poem makes it even more praiseworthy to the one who truly deserves the praise in using you as an instrument of such thought provoking spirituality in poetry.
second, i know it is a blessing that the one i am referring to is so loving and forgiving. you just made me think of this, for i see what a miracle that it to somewhat like me, especially in light of the fact that the one i most love (on earth anyway) in being human, isn't going to be as forgiving in my transgressions... the fallibility of us humans...

the writer did a fine, fine job of using an instrument to be an instrument. thanks, craig.

of all the things we try to find... it's only love we keep.

Thanks man.  Its like being shot in the dark.  Yeah, being human definitely has some major disadvantages.
