Heal

I wish, they would see their broken souls, and not just their broken bodies.  The story, of how things are built, is left within the building.  Double helix stories, tell of eye color, hair color, gender, and skin.  The code of the creator, my Father.  It is easy to fix, you just restore the program.  I often will touch, or speak the abnormality to give the five senses something to grab onto.  Heal, in a touch.  Physical existence, since its creation, has endured a spiritual reduction.  The passage of time, and the nature of the universe is offered empty comprehension based upon an attempt to explain itself, with itself.  There is more.  I want them to find it.  To hunger for it.  For now, the bleeding, and the blind, are easily fixed in the program.

Quantification of Soul

A spirit, contemplates as an outlier to the kingdom of flesh.

Warm pressurized blood, circulates existence to the blind.

Can love be calculated?

Are there scales built to weigh the tarred stick of hate?

Where are the jars that hold sorrow, like rotten candy pellets?

A spirit, knows the bitter bite of drinking pure evil,

measures the value of light.

If the libation is enjoyed, light is a lost commodity,

and has no value.

If the burning drink, causes nausea and vomiting,

then light, framed in golden beams

has its depth of value measured and defined.

Words Wash up on Listener’s Shore

Words spill from hot mouths,

White smoke rolls, over talk,

that is heated,

Ugly green worms,

fall from invisible clouds,

in twisted slime,

roll into ears,

Tiny eggs,

made of twisted letters

soon rot, within the mind.

The red dripping blood,

falls like spilled paint,

from the sharpened tip,

of the silver tongue.

Words, are but loaded boats

that carry cargo through air,

Why is the speaker, often in denial,

about the goods, shipped to the listener?
