I wanted to get lost

In his heart..

But you insisted

That I be found

You whispered

That I’d be stronger

Once I fell

Apart

But I

Insisted

That I needed him

Around

I

Believed with

Every fragment

Every

Particle

Of me

That my strength had

Irrevocably

Departed

Yet

I heard the

Susurration;

Angelic

Deliberation

I was more than

Understood;

I was

Outsmarted

My desire

Was

To

Drift

Upon the waters of

Despondency

To plunge

To melancholy

Depths

Eternal

But

You

Magnified

The wrongs in me;

And

Maximized

So I could

See

The Equinox

We shared

Was nearly

Vernal

I pleaded with You

Daily

To release me to

Oblivion

To precede

The agony

Of life’s

Punchline

But

Instead

You healed my

Ailing

Introduced me to

Corinthians

The second book;

In Chapter 1; verse 9.

Like a mother

Gently scolding

Her spoiled child;

Yet

Withholding

That the gift she has

Will pacify lament,

Though he pleads for crumbs;

She’s smiling

Her expression so

Beguiling

Of her fresh, baked bread

He’ll soon detect

The

Scent.
