she drinks the tears of joy

‘tis but the river
that's my lover  
whose incontinence  
conceals the tears i shed  
upon her bed  
  
she reads my diary:  
no inquiry  
cross-examines me  
about the things i write  
deep in the night  
   
all the songs she sings  
give me new wings  
mountain-purchased heights  
deliver me from hell's  
final farewell  
   
when the moon is bright  
she bids the night  
orchestrate for me  
her water music suite  
to make replete  
   
my burial of pain  
i rise again  
phoenix from the ash  
she drinks the tears of joy  
my gladness cries

The unbearable burden

Knowing a stranger is not being modest
never forgetting a promise to keep being honest.
Watching a Innocent survive the craziness
Eventually becoming a madman
Sad moments, corrputed dreams
with a stolen heart, has a kindness
To one in need of much Grace,
Determined to achieve a connection
Without compromising values,
Is a recipe for disaster,
Do we need evidence of a presence
That's conscious of ours suffering?
With not much to believe in
People turn to demons
Much respect is needed if I was conceited,
Abused, tortured and used
Is this what we choose
Is the world on our backs
 or on your shoulders
A four clover doesn't mean it's over
Nor a miracle because I will forgive all of you
And become spiritual.
