"in the absence of love..."


  

          

i was born a man
in time when boy was still
a rank below earned merit

raised to conquer
self made prisons
fear rejected the demon
in the mirror
at last free behind
drug induced states
i lasted till
seasons changed
torment into a painful
hope lifted in admission

never alone
i give away
what i kept sacred
daily another life
falls and rises
talkin heads
find serene beginnings

an element
no longer a mystery
i use as yet another tool
carving a slow smile
across the devide
between i and others
looking for something
to hold to feel to last
till rage turns and is
no more a comfort
in the absence
of love...


"keep pennin till the earth birth's your rightful seed then nurture it wit more ink..."

So many lines here, but notably...

"never alone
i give away
what i kept sacred
daily another life
falls and rises
talkin heads
find serene beginnings"

Love the idea of release of what was sacred....

and--

"an element
no longer a mystery
i use as yet another tool
carving a slow smile
across the devide
between i and others
looking for something
to hold to feel to last
till rage turns and is
no more a comfort
in the absence
of love..."

The idea of healing the division between us and others...


well done.

The depth of this is simply stunning. Every time I read it, I observe new things i hadn't seen before.

>looking for something
>to hold to feel to last
>till rage turns and is
>no more a comfort
>in the absence
>of love...

the desperation is this stanza is intense and so real.

>raised to conquer
>self made prisons
>fear rejected the demon
>in the mirror
>at last free behind
>drug induced states
>i lasted till
>seasons changed
>torment into a painful
>hope lifted in admission

and ...

> an element
>no longer a mystery
>i use as yet another tool
>carving a slow smile
>across the devide
>between i and others
>looking for something
>to hold to feel to last
>till rage turns and is
>no more a comfort
>in the absence
>of love...

then i love the bittersweet culmination of the end. its not a disney-fied love for all ending, but something that can't help but force a smile on this reader.

excited to be back cause i know theres a lot more where this came from. can't wait to read more

don't understand
how can there be an absence of love
when the lord of host always holds you close
resting in your chest

clear things up will yeah i'm dumb?
