Bone of my Bone

Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh
Your desires are not hid from me
These passions your fruits
Do not they belong to me?

From hence you came

A gift from me to you
From you to me?
No dust, no sand, or golden band
Only empty sea

You are fully revealed to me and I to you
Could I let you suffer alone?
Dare I go on
No chimes, for all Times

To me you belong, as I to you
Oh what Else could I do?
Separated myself alone
Flesh of my flesh bone of my bone

This is not your home
Nor is it our time
Yet we will shine
For all time

Stars in our crowns
Frowns turned upside down
Justification instead of purification
Mere mortal souls

Yet we are so bold

Streets of gold
For not any feet to walk among
Only just spirits may glide upon
No traps, no fears, tears all gone

No stripes to bare, no yokes

No jokes about strife or life
Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh
This life was, but only a test
To your testimony

Have you eyes to see?
Can you believe in me?
Have you ears to hear?
Or are you deaf and blind to me?

Does your love sit idol
Have we no hands to work , for us ?
For me? Is there any trust?
Is our life just a bust?

You have feet dear? I've seen you walk
But, do you not know, how to talk?
What happened to give and to take?
Our lives one big mistake?

From here to there
Truly we dared
With out a single care
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone

Left me all alone
Separated Spirit From flesh
One final test
Life is, but ones Quest

Our senses now gone
Were they designed to fail?
No longer are there any roses left to smell
Bone of my bone, our flesh is now gone

I am; yet alone,  your God

About the Author

Region, Country: U.S. A. Indiana, Valparaiso, USA

Favorite Poets: Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Carl Sandburg these I have read some And so Many More. I have no Favorite or any that I dislike. Whom I consider to be poets; of course there are many Dark and hateful souls, who would cry out and to I will lend an ear, but some. They just leave a awful taste in my heart that I can not bear to read twice. Let alone as many times I would do normally; as I must.

Thanks Chrys I've Been Bingeing The last Two Days Birth-Day

and all, Super Bowl party tomorrow so I am not going to be able to clear this up any time soon, But I tried a little today will look at it again in the middle of Next week. We rented a sixty inch Flat screen and been drinking the last few Days I've a room mate and he leads me astray every once in awhile, rather every chance he gets, He thinks I need to live a little he'll be the death of me I told him, I am sure of it but, we all can't live forever, or so I told Him I'd hang with him until he's gone. LOL he didn't know what I was implying or implied, but he suspected something. Donnie/Sinbad the Sailor
