Beyond Close

Dear Lover,
You love is beyond me.
You rest at my shoulder, and I don't even feel Your breath,
or know You are obsessed with me.
My guilt swallows me, while You redeem me.
My anger is lessened by Your grace and mercy.
Your love is a mystery.
It arcs like a flash of lightening - threatening and yet familiar.
Dear Lover,
Your love is beyond me.

 closer than a brother
sweeter than a sister
More like a deity.

Shy Suicide

Disclaimer: This poem was inspired by someone else's struggle with suicide. Don't worry I am not suicidal. Suicide, why do you hide beneath my white skin? Suicide, why do use my fake smile for your sin? Suicide, why do you keep your cover until the rope is tight, the trigger is pulled, the pills are swallowed, the wrists slit? A black phantom behind my face. A dark word behind my lips. A night in my day. Suicide, why do you ensnare all my companions? They didn’t know. They didn’t see. They didn’t recognize who had overtaken me. You left a message on paper; they read in disbelief. Suicide, you are shy, and yet you have the audacity to kill me.

Attainable

How divine and untouched the purity of God. How like not another. How mysterious and unable to be measured. Do I compare You to the drink of wine, the taste of grape, the power of nard, the depth of an earthquake? Even a star burning bright still it does fade. He is Creator, unmade. As the earth groans and meditates it collapses and shakes. As a human, I do not understand fully that the Miracle of heaven owns Holy. His purity that I fear to face I will, on glorious day, attain by grace.

Definition

Beautiful, as she meandered into the profile picture of her dreams. Hair meticulously styled, angle right, and artificial light to highlight that which is dark. I thought, certainly she was someone to befriend, yet she wanted nothing to do with me. She loved to sin. I found a woman with a double chin, bags under her eyes, walking around the block, taking it all in. I thought her time had come and gone, nothing more to my life could she add. Wishing she’d be a mere acquaintance, I left after our small conversation, not recognizing she was the definition of a friend.
