Love Knot (continuation)

To hate or not to hate?To be with bliss or to just be?
The riddle within is truely the answer without.
When uncontrollable malice is met with undeniable appreciation.
Just as doves glide the falcon plunges into a suicide dive.
Leaving very little chance for a happy ending.


How dead is dead? In the midnight hour is it a living or dying flower?
The jewel is worth more surrounded by gold than by stainless steel.
Truely,less meaningful to a collector than a bride for a groom to kneel.
Polished or unrefined jaded and imperfect it holds a high price.
Only to a bride rarely to a groom never to a man of steel.


No matter how many arms i have i lose my grip on all but the rarest.
In every aspect of love i am cheated deeated even by the fairest.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,and death at a warriors feet.
Nevertheless,i remain a soldier of love annointed from above.
Only to surrender that which will always be my object of desire.


Faith conjures everything and substantiates thin air.
Making fine wine out of whisky and precious jewels of dead stones.
Why be a blanket for a furry beast?a waste of warm air on hot ice.
Wanting more the substance than the evidence there of.
Needing to see touch and feel beyond the hope of the heart.
Clinging to it like a tree in a huricane fleeing to it like a prisoner of war to a liberated shore.


So wrapped up in the integrity of the dream.
The character within a night is all that is left in the mourning.
Bruised by it but still mused so as to not deny it.
The grasp tightens when clearly its time to let go.
What started as a tranquil lake has overflowed out of control.


Screams of,"run for your life!" come from within.
It becomes about self preservation no good, or bad or sin.
Now the situation callaspes fully primed for escape.
ralizing i'm the mango ,the papaya- craved by the insatiable ape.


I'm off the hook i',m out of the frying pan- the ginger bread man willing to loose a few fingers and toes to escape.
On a one way mission resolved in conclusion,driven
by the firebreather just off the nape.
