Pursued I have been-
By the neverbulging shadow cast by myself never by myself has it left me!In its infinite shallowness is where my heart seems to rest best; Can it be that I'm different "weird" aside from all the rest? Or is it that my mind is clear, dear to what is null? My soul is like a mole that digs a hole, under a tree and eats its roots, so that it's dry and now its fruits could never be. Or am I the troll on whose head this rotten tree once freed from gravity will finally come to be?
But how could it be!? 'T wasn't long ago that out of its swallowing emptyness I was rescued, found wrapped around in the warmth of I love yous, bathed in the moistures of first love and fed by the perseviarance in her breath-But you see I did not surpass the test and just like the rest I pass to be another shadow that will never truly find a place to rest.

"Your poem has much truth in it – and whether you realize it or not, everything you speak of is actually from the Bible. How odd is that, especially if you haven't read it? I noticed that many of my thoughts and writings were, before I ever read it, in there too!"

I hear patriotic bells ringing! what will we feel once their rotting souls we send to hell screaming!!? Will / our mouths then speak or turn / oblique? Will the fuel in our hearts turn and burn like the hatred from both parts? / If so, then like the one foretold, the fires of heaven shall consume us  sign in to read more »
