i do not feel the loss
i do not feel the loss of
that which i did not love
i can not expect to miss
your lips i did not kiss
i have no memory of
you giving me your love
it's easy to let fade
that which i never made
it's easy to let go
of that which i did not know
knowing you never knew
knowing me loving you
knowing i will never be
known in you memory

you who
you who
never knew
poverty
or what it's
like to be
hungry
to have holes
in your shoes
in the rain
or the pain
of children
at school
being cruel
making fun
of you
for making do
with clothes
that were too
small for you
that have
a hole or two
or that are worn
and maybe torn
hand me downs
that made
the rounds
you who
never knew
what it's like to
have parents who
never loved you
who didn't care
who were
never there
for you
to turn to
who
would beat you
and treat you
like thrash
call you names
and tell you
to hell with you
and say to you
would be glad to
have never had you
you who
never knew
who could tell you
about the hell you
never knew
that i had to
live through
you who
have no
empathy
or sympathy
you only
despise me
criticize me
and hate me
yet i pray
for you
because
the day for you
is ahead of you
and hopefully
not dead to you

let die
let die
sinful i
let there be
less of me
let depart
my evil heart
let go
all i know
let me learn
to discern
God's will
to fulfill
God's way
to obey
may i cease
and God increase
this I pray
everyday

free ad
a free ad for Guinness
tis the taste full
of the mystical lyrical
magical musical
extremely exceptional
deepness darkness
richness fullness
greatness of Guinness

suddenly the night
suddenly the night
was lit up like daylight
a great crack across the sky sounded
echoed and rebounded
sonic boom a blinding flash
rumbling and an enormous crash
the ground shook and structures fell
a burning heat released from hell
we were of one will and one mind
we chose to be deaf dumb and blind
from God we turned to our sin
and thought without Him to win
a war that was to chastise
our foolish ways we thought wise
now here lies our humanistic humanity
that thought to believe in God to be
nothing more than insanity

the moon
the moon most shinny brightly lighting the darkly nighting
shimmering silvery on wavery watering of salty sea
shipping ship full of shipmate sailors singing sea shanties
sailing with sails so full and sail fully across the starry sea
waves washing starry starfish onto sandy sands of the shore so surely
mermaid with swishy fishy tail singing a song of sorrow so sorrowfully
foggy fog over boggy bog so doggedly
trickery troll trampling along leggedly in forest be
fluttering fairy full of laughing flying so skywardly
lovely lady in waiting waiting for a noble knightly laddy love to see
dumpy dwarf with lumpy sack on humpy back triumphantly
dancing prancing down dell so delightfully
hobbling hob goblin is trodding and wobbling
down high hilly path to low lilly valley to cave unseenery
the tick tocking of the clock in the tall leafery full of a tree
both shorter and longer hands pointed so precisely
over his nunberly clockish face at twelvery
tis middle night in fair fairyland so fair to see and so rare to see
for merely mere mortals are asleep and sleeping be
and cannot see fair fairyland except in dreams most dreamily

you
you
a lovely
vision
to view
and vanish
to love
only so much
and never
to touch
like life
to live
and never
to love
hurting
so much
to be
in heaven
above
like death
a door
to depart
and return
never more
