A Healing Poem

a Love poem

would you elevate/heal yourself
(everything)
with Love
or perpetuate the hurt and abuse
you unjustly suffered as a child
and inflict that poisonous malaise
onto others undeserving of your
revenge and wrath –
misplaced vengeance is behind
all social plagues;
wonder no more at the state of
the State and the sick filth it exudes
daily.

are we polluted or tainted by its disease
or are we free,
reborn in Love
and generous affection
for each other
and all living things?

[i wonder] what triggers
the hurt you continue to wrestle
and cruelly manifest
at times; the hidden tortures
too terrible to face and resolve
that find expression through projection
onto innocent bystanders and intimate
associates – it is a needless
and sick perpetuation
that is better resolved
with selfless Love
for the good of All.

during those morbid episodes
you become a wooden marionette
clicking awkwardly on a stage not
of ur own making --

the characters you superimpose
onto the innocent
are not the torturers of your past;

emerge from ur self-imposed prison
unlock those heavy doors with
Love and affection for all
sentient beings – free yourself,
the Universe waits for ur
release!

the solace u seek in
[same] sex/sensuality
is transitory, fleeting
it only serves to
re-inforce
your Fears and hide
the demons that haunt you;

did u not know u become transparent
to those that unconditionally Love you,
such is the sublime healing power of
unconditional Love.

Love that is not confined to
a single entity
but envelopes all beings
in joy and despair
and heals everything it touches.

tho I would tenderly kiss ur neck
and stroke your troubled brow
it is you who must finally resolve
your inner turmoil
and release the demons
that haunt you – you are surrounded
by a sea
of healing Love
it waits patiently
for u to open ur frightened heart,
never despair.

the magic is never lost
lift ur head and fix ur gaze
on the warm night sky
the constellations,
a gift from
Egyptian Goddesses
from whose breasts
flow forth the firmament.

dive deep into
healing velvet seas
breathing easy
as the life
that inhabits them
and be restored,
released from
your tortured past.

in whatever direction u turn
you will confront your
demons or the opportunity
of release.

with every human birth
a whispered promise was/is made
[that] healing LOVE is a constant companion
an inexhaustible resource
that would saturate the being
and work its healing magic
once the heart and soul
are open to receive it.

[u know it -- i Loved u before time began,
i Love now and will continue
in Love after existence
is rolled up like a scroll,
such is Love’s enduring
quality and strength.

be comforted, u are never lost or ever alone.
sweet peace to u forever – i Luv u.]
