not my world
not my world
not my country
not my state
not my city
not my street
not my home
not my body
not my mind
not my heart
not my soul
not my hope
not my faith
not my love
not my will
all belongs
to God

the twenty six street wall
the twenty six street wall
came crashing down
crushing childhood memories
and youthful day dreams
of becoming a carefree hobo
hopping on an unhappy train
heading into a sad sunset
a bad boy with a new beginning
ending just like some magnificent
happy hollywood motion picture
fading into a black void
with a long lasting list of credits
and a majestic mournful melody
backed by a full symphony orchestra
full of sorrowful strings
leaving them tearful in the isles
and longing for much more
with just enough hope to hold on to
as they go to their
i could have been happy homes
if only i were someone else
with much more money
and the twenty six street
sidewalk art shows
with the most beautiful paintings
of the most beautiful places
where one must one day go
even if it's inside an abstract painting
it's got to be so much better
than this most bitter unreal reality
of hunger and hurting
and this lonely longing for life
that leaves one so destitute
like an empty milk bottle
on a doorstep of despair
in the cold chilling dawn
of ones own despondency
and there on the other side
of the twenty six street wall
sitting on the top step
leading into a painted
black brick row home
i can see the stunning vision of sharon
with her long straight golden blonde hair
blinding in the summer sunlight
watching and waiting
for something exciting to happen
like maybe the wall across the street
collapsing into the train tracks below
which wouldn't happen
for another forty some years later
and of course by then
she would have long ago
moved far away
and now become an old man's memory
of a youthful crush
crumbled into the dust of dreams
like the rubble of rocks
that use to be a wall

that know not
lust from love
daemon from dove

nor the reason
thereof

the furthest star
the furthest star
is not as far
as you are
and the nearest to love
is far above
all that i'm made of

the blade of beauty
the blade of her bestial beauty
unrelentingly and repeatedly
piercing and plunging painfully
into my horribly hurting heart
excruciating beyond all endurance
my lost languishing life
bleeding out of my being
despairingly drowning in a death
lasting longer than the expanse of eternity
desiring my evil existence extinguished

youth
if i had
your youth
i would seek truth
and only truth
and learn of
our glorious God above
and His great and wonderful love

it's
it's
just
one of
those sad
days when
i'm feeling so
sorry for myself
and so sorry for the
things i've done and so
sorry for the whole world
and everybody in it and so
sorry for the animals and so
sorry for everything that i feel
like
crying
for
them
all

i'm made of
and to hate
the dirt

the last sound
the last sound
i listened to
befor i left
this woeful world
was the crying of a child
for his father
i heard it for hours
in a hallway
in a house
not made
with hands
moribundity
of music

blinded
blinded by her heavenly beauty
that shown so brilliantly bright
as likened to a billion suns suddenly
shining intensely in the darkness night
her immaculate image so inspiring
ingrained into my minds most inner eyes
a sight so stunning and so stirring
that i am intoxicated and immobilized
watching all the world melt thence
immersed in her illuminating beauty
eliminating everything in existence
her image encompassing all of reality

always at war
always at war
with this world
fighting the flesh
and the old one
a war that will always
rage on and wage on
till this loveless life
is dead and done
and only then
will this war
by God's will be won

flakes of snow
flakes of snow falling so
steadily and silently
flooding the landscape
all around me
rising so rapidly
quickly and quietly
everything in sight
sinking so softly
down into the deep
dusty still white sea
