Golgotha

We were born to seek Love                  
drink from its Holy Grail                  
of existence
 
Its voice definitive
leading those who listen
in painful heartache
 
Down the Via Dolorosa
the way of suffering
;
weighted upon our shoulders
 
splintering wood and bone
expelling bloody water
"Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?"
 
This punctured Parable
of Crucified Surrender;
Our pinioned Enlightenment
 
We were born for war
fashioned by the Universe
in the likeness of Gods
 
Everyone is, until
they run naked, scared
from Love's threshing floor
 
Into a Seasonless World
lacking the pain of too much
tenderness
and Hope
 
We were born
to be wounded by our own
understanding of Love

 
Bleed willingly and joyfully
for its Holy Grail of existence
that we laugh all of our laughter
 
Having refused to hoist
White flags of surrender         
~                  
                   
                   
               
               
Italics The Holy Bible                
Christian Hymn &                
Kahlil Gibran's "On Love"
         
       
Inspiration the bravest man        
I have the honor to call        
my Best Friend, JohnnyBlaze
