Of Soul & Body

-

I am my soul and my form is me
It is by this body my soul can see
But vision is clouded
The human world is fogged
All of Creation
Bogged by shadow and distance
Far from the Sun are we all
This is because of our father,
Adam’s Fall.

Adam’s Fall issued forth the Great Absence
No light, no love, no lasting peace
Reason rises over apprehension
No one knows (no one sees)
Yet our movements are …
Betraying our self-image (our worldview)
We’ve become as beasts.

I love the way you move. All swank and cool. I'm a dank fool canvas. I'd like to be you. Let's see who, I can be. I love the way you speak. All soft and sexy. Everything 'bout you is neat.

His Love for Her

Don't leave me here!  Don't you leave me here this way!  What will all my friends say? Who was it that carried me on the bier? Well, will you pray for me? Or can't you wait to see another man, if only you can?  Life with you was never,  the kind I wanted.  You called me "friend" That was after you put an end to our coupling. That was after you had my ring  cut off your finger. I can hear you singing after that. You had your own definition for being a swinger. A woman, free and unattached. Since then we've never been intimate. No matter the many times I had to wait. You would love me  Only by cleaning and laundrying for me. Still you'd never give me a bath. We had a life together you never let last. Don't leave me here!  Don't you leave me here this way!  What will all my friends say?     "She buried him, with his love for her.      She's not so demur."  _________ copyright ©️ 2023 SDKilmer, LLC All Rights Reserved www SDKi
