Punishing Love




Where for art thou Romeo
I cast the idol.
This lover will take Your place tonight?
This emptiness will feed my flesh.
This conjured emotion will deny my lack of words.
Oh how this description will fail again.
What idols I have fashioned,
how they ridicule me and steal my love.
For a fleeting beauty I waste effort.
For a single glimmer of false hope I make the heart sick.
Burn oh Lover with jealousy
that I may come to the end of all I created outside of Thee.
For I long to give an answer.
But HE alone is my word.
In charging You to love Him oh earth
I have sent you to your grave.

For this love is unyeilding.

Her

 Church is loud and hidden. Full of praise, unprecedented resilience. She bites an apple, then walks into an eternal city. She rests on Sabbath, then battles ignorance. Strong and faulted, given grace and Jerusalem walls. She hides her beauty while Jesus peers significant.

Unstable

 The clouds are unstable So too are the waves But my faith is stable, solid. Rally and debate is unstable. Fire and Water too. But, God hold us safe.

Reach

 I both reach and retreat. I want you and want nothing to do with you. It is predictable that I both hate and love you. I want you near and must retreat. Like a civil war and trip to Disney Land. You are my contradiction Both push and pull. America, I pledge allegiance and protest you for being immoral.
