The Kingdom of Love


The thoughts that tiptoe now are like a ballet as they sway to and fro’ across the dance floor, the ocean of Love calling to us from the edge of our madness, across the threshold bowing in the sudden wind.

Step across the span, enter the kingdom of Love, eternal lifetimes to correct our human mistakes. Stand up and say it with me! Come! Speak of your sorrow, your Love, too!

~

The emerald shone through the glass as if it were its heart living two lifetimes at once. One is now the other is now, spirit and flesh, flesh and spirit, fused into one that holds Love.

It all started out as a question, unseen, but felt from here to infinity. Friends get to know strangers, like brothers hug one another in a warm embrace, life and laughter beneath our feet, our rapid breath.

Life without belief is like hope without Love.

Listen to her dream in her sleep.

“Enough” is the word you never try to say. It’s the hardest lesson to learn.

Belief has become a disease to Love.

I have been witness to the four pillars and see no reason to carry death there. Doesn’t the world know that life moves for more than just the sons of Abraham? O! I see the stunned throats floating by in the dusk to their stiff-limbed sleep as metal rains down over the Jordan’s western prophet, children dying there. I am here, waiting, breathing in the dusk under the shadow of the patriarch, asking, can we again build the shrine inside the soul and leave our flesh to time? © 2008 mrp/thepoetryman

Waiting for It

Why do they stay there, between war and peace? Sky’s tapestry doles out guns, bombs and rocks while flesh and bone swim away from the ache yet live on as the food for the murder of peace. Why do we hide from the truth as if it were an ogre while death makes a home inside their living and war dispatches a raven to their door, smirking with the teeth of empire? Why do we wait, stooped for another wink? The sky’s drapery has tossed down ample clues, peace is breathing in harmony with war. (Road-maps are useless to blind leaders.) Why do they hold there, hunched in the gloom? Hatred’s bird cackling with bereavement needs end. Are we not rightly dishonored when we fill its trough with blood? © 2007 mrp/thepoetryman
