Violent Grace




Love is violent grace
The sparks of its axe fly from the whetstone to the strains of Debussy
With calculated abandon
It murders the heart with swift blows
Only to rebirth it in petals and Honey
I suffer its multiple reincarnations on my journey to
The nirvana of perfect devotion
Love wears Velvet mittens and spurs
To flay the soul with tender Kisses
That burn through every layer of skin
My heart knows the gentle destruction of love’s chisel
As it chips away at All resolve
And carves me into its pure state of peace
Remarkably Whole in the aftermath of an onslaught
By the crooning banshee of amorous whispers
I wonder that I still breathe
Love my Prayer
You my confession
Awaiting Freedom in the binding of adoration’s blessing.

I'm not in just now, but you're welcome to stay a while and doodle me a note. Make yourself a cuppa if you like, otherwise there's some beer in the fridge, and probably some left-over chocolate cake. No pinching my turkish delight though, and whatever you do, don't feed the cat, she's completely loony.
