Love Is + Heart of Glass

Love is 

Love is blindness 

Love is clarity 

 

Love is blue green black and white 

Love is a darkness 

Love is a yellow gold sunrise 

 

Love is the heart 

Love is the mind 

 

Love is nipples, elbows, boobs, tubes, skin and bones 

 

Love is apples and oranges 

 

Love is soft serves 

Love is hard words 

 

 

Love is trying and failing 

Love is effortless 

 

Love is nothing 

Love is

Heart of Glass 

from the shimmering glass galleries, from the crystalline oceans 
from the bright infinity 

Thou wrought creation itself 

and black did Thou create 
and white did Thou make anew 
shining in shimmering contrast 
alight with darkness 
shrouded in luminance 

 

with kaleidoscopic infinities 
with endless prisms ever expanding  

in the intimacy and beauty of Your canvas 

outward we danced in Your brilliant light 

 

i stood tall 

i stood loud 

i sung of reverence 

i sung of gratitude 

 

but then cometh  man 
crude clay 

rock and heat and steam 
mud 

filth  meat 
writhing, scratching, writhing 
scratching, writhing, scratching 

meat 

why? why meat? 
why? why make meat free? 

but not I?
