Psalm For My Heart

O flesh and veins wrapped in rich velvet
Pumping and pounding forever,
Come death
The cheapness in your judgement,
An invocation from your senses,
Interventions for all of my life,
Why?

To let live my body,
Dutiful yet distracting,
My every step,
All the way,
Come death.

Ne'er will you know,
What it means to be,
The most cruel thing beating in me,
Ironically the most vital source of life.
One day you will die, with me,
As our fates, intertwined.

A cosmic joke
A sick lie, yet,
The Brain, He ordains me.
You, or Him,
I see.

But, I am in your requital,
For I have encountered,
The masochistic of them all,
Forged deep inside you,
Fervid,
The sick Devil of fidelity.

My Girl, The One Who Got Away

So many questions,
I wonder, so many years,
Talking to you.

Listening intently,
Watching the hair fall neath your ears,
Into overdrive my heart goes,
Like a reverie,
I wish you were a deity.

The essence in your speech,
That universal peace,
Deep caress of your touch,
An epitome of love,
Imagine, with me.

I'd let it all go now,
Any day,
I Hope I never have to,
Faraway,
So now, pray.

There is no reverence in this,
Nor are there any lies.
Not wanting, not feeling,
They are just excuses, fray.

I felt joy,
Just for a moment,
Now astray,
But you'll always be that,
My Girl, The One Who Got Away.
