Renaissance~with the talented HamBone42

 
saddened sorrow weep for the day you were born
breath of life, full of strife
no more to see heaven smile

the wind doesn’t listen to reason
and melancholy has become your season
but smoke still rises from the chimney

in the great hope be brave
things are shifting
the narrow path is before you
step by step greet tomorrow

bare your breasts to your brazen lover
let him fondle the thighs of your intellect
skim the surface of your pond

I seek solace in the storm
a tempest is brewing

in the eternal faith
damn me not for I am fragile of faith
skirting the moral questions
Father I have heard your voice in the noise
steady and quiet
determined and so powerful, I quake

chaotic love is better than no love at all
I have become wary of poisonous gifts
but embrace the bouquet of pleasures

would you breathe into me truth,
so I may know the difference?

shade in my transparency
open the curtains of this darkened room

cast to the winds like so many others
the children of nod are frightening
a band of angels curses the day
and strikes the night
until the zombies of the apocalypse recognize their folly

shrug off this practiced magic
plant the seeds in the soil of my memory

help me realize mine then also in time
