Poetry will never bring her back
No poem will change a woman’s heart
It’s impossible but true
For once they want to be apart
There is nothing you can do
But do not weep and do not cry
For there will come a time
When all the answers and reasons why
Will come drifting down the line
Then you’ll understand the hurt
The lesson you needed most
And all the help that came to you
From Father, Son and Holy Ghost
THE WALL
I created the bricks
You used
To build the wall
That separates our love
Oh that I could crush
The hands that made them
And eat the hurt
I caused you
Oh that I could raze
That which we created
Instead I face my lover
And see only bricks
Now I work
To change my sins
So God
Can take down
What stands between us
FIDELITY
Much is made
Of this promise
For the body and the senses
Long for experience
As we make the oath
Flesh cries out its anguish
And the mind conspires
The first betrayal
For the promise
Is not of mind
Or Flesh
It is from
Somewhere
Deeper
A place
Where God still dwells
A place
Where spirit reigns
And the world
retreats
We transcend the flesh
We control the senses
We dwell for a time
In a Holy place
Until the day
Flesh and Mind
Reclaim us
And God
Can be no more
