do we all go to heaven when we die?(some reworking makes it more coherent, I think) |

one two three four five do we all go to heaven when we die? the web of lies was spun just to see what torment they could catch and you oh so easily fell prey you ripped my mouth open and jumped down my throat your unbelief scratching and shredding the innocence of my remains and days later, still wincing with the pain of the ankle that I turned running from you from me from too much for one mind, I totter on the brink of trying to go on and I wonder does grace cover the bare spots when trying isn't enough? I see the tears and watch the sobs and I know your pain is real but I hear the words you reason out of your head and I wonder does grace cover insanity too? excuse me could I interrupt your tirade of pain for just a minute or two you'll need to loosen your grip though I am turning blue... I never said you didn't care I said you care too much crushingly, suffocatingly too much and in your saner moments I think you hear me but it doesn't fit with your black and white care or not reasons and I need to walk no, I need to write no no I need to walk and write walk, to stay the scream that has wrenched itself in my middle write, to quiet the poetry tap tap typing in my head so that I can close my eyes and pray that grace (and mercy) covers poets too. so now its your turn and not by my hand, either by her highness, the exalted one your friend of friends, that my lowness (in your eyes) can not abide. someone (evil I suppose) fed her lies about you this time and she swallowed the unbelieving and tonight you cry why? you can't see that its just your turn.

Corazon are you going thru something really hard right now? I believe that Gods grace, compassion, mercy, healing, and love does reach out to poets as well as every other sinner in this great big beautiful world. Take care. James |

Grace does cover poets my friend because unlike most others, we see not only with our eyes but also our minds and more importantly our hearts. (((((HUGS))))) |

An excellent poem that screams with pain... Those saner moments when he hears come all too seldom... I've no doubt whatsoever that you and Toe are both destined for heaven... but I'd just as soon you delay that trip for quite a while... this one and only needs you both! *S* |

Corazon~ Deep, deep thought process going on here. I like the presentation. 'and tonight you cry why? you can't see that its just your turn.' Powerfully spoken. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
