Link me to a world
Unrelated to the
Whims of your
Unjustified glory
Your sweet glorious repose
So I may as a rose
Spread my love to the
Very core of you
We are what we can bear

And then let me
Stand between two sinners
And wonder why
I don’t belong to a sect
In which I am free
We are what we can bear

Oh!
Fill me up to be a part of you
So that you may become a
Better part of me
We are what we can bear

I am a cursed soul on
This heavenly rock
Riddled with its sultry
Whereabouts and
Gangly wanderers
I oft times try to imagine
What happened to myself
To allow the corruption
Within my eyes
Recant and reply
My unloved heart
We are what we can bear

I’ve realized
No more than the dawn of day
Apathy squelches emotion
Makes the pain go away
Farther from the skin
We are what we can bear

If I cry between the pages
And let hearts shatter my
Opinion of innocence
I let the world tell me
I’m wrong and weak
Let the light of day
Deny my precious eyes
Of freedom
We are what we can bear

Trust me to sacrifice
My eyes to you
In ways that will
Force my soul’s
Undying honesty
We are what we can bear

I am drawn into you
Enveloped within your paradise
I’d gladly put away myself
In order to matriculate to your
Ways of assimilation

I like this

God only promises a safe landing, not a calm flight.

I like it but it is only a scaffold for now and is this the place it would finally receive an accolade from, when the ratio is 10 poems to read and comment on, for whenever you write one set of words.

Thank you for your comments.  I truly appreciate them.  Dave, I must ask what you mean?  I just don't understand...perhaps it is because I have a particularly stressful day and am completely delerious...Could you just explain what you mean?
