I Like It

I like that my love for you has interferred with how the demons used to be able to manipulate you.

I like that you learned how to fight back and reclaim your own internal territory.

I know that it has not been easy…and, in fact, we both know that it quite often never is.

But I like how you keep at it – even when you slip a bit from time to time from losing your grip.

In Case You Didn’t Know,

“We are being manipulated to turn against one another.

So be very careful how you respond to levels of ‘violence.’

Even if others’ behaviors provoke, our actions in return must keep in mind the more beneficial, larger pictures.

This isn’t easy when ‘sleep walkers’ who yell and scream – or even are meticulously insidious – lash out boldly with knives and poisoned arrows.

Learn to dodge, weave, and out-strategize in order to catch and redirect them by the comfort of softer pillows.

For they have somehow become infected by nightmares from the surrounding insanity that is trying to pressure us all into propagating our own demise and self destruction.

We cannot let our loved ones fall, by others’ or – most importantly – by our own hands.

Anything we do carries its own momentum.

React intelligently, and guide to real solutions.

We must lead by our own command.”

I remember you from Elden days
As a whisper upon the wind

When love was just a shadow
In a world submerged in sin

And everywhere I’d follow
Led to high cliffs or dead ends

No money begged nor borrowed
Could erase our souls as kin

And if I were to tell you
We were someday meant to be

Would it be enough to hold you
Now we’ve found this reality?

My light it’s always been you
We have followed in its wake

The purest of intentions
Our blood never forsakes

Yet I who’ve come before you
Knows youth that still debates

How much longer when so close
Before our keys open the gate?

And instinct burns the scriptures
Where the wicked stole our fate?

For lifetimes we have witnessed
From afar the promised land

In each other’s eyes in passing
Swore an oath to hold your hand

Come to me now
Come home at last

It’s time we feast
On love’s repast

And all the world
Will know at last

What it feels like
To be truly blessed

Come revel with me
Breathe in the scent

Of Eden’s garden
No longer Hellbent

Children of God
As our descent

No longer cast
Far to wander

Come meet me
At the alter

Where our hearts
Spring wings anew

I know you
I know you

I know you
It’s true

I know you
I love you

Free at last
Me and you
