Blink Twice

Give and take

Sadly, madly

Receive, deceive

Love and war

Chanting, panting

Room spinning,

It winning

Again and

Again and

Again and

Waves crashing

hopes dashing

Heart breaking

It slaking

Thirst, It

Comes first

It claims and maims

Pulls and pushes

Trades trust

For thrust

Insatiable lust

Lovelorn

Love lost

Crying, lying, dying

All part of

The game.

It wins, It skins

Them alive

Ecstasy to anger

And back, the lack

Of self, now on the shelf

Grey is the new

blue

It grins because It wins

Over and

Over and

Over.

She sees It

Leering, jeering

Taunting, flaunting

Its prize, close eyes

Heartstrings scream

Pulling taut

They start to snap

From the shot.

Don’t look now,

be like Lot

But they’ll not

turn to stone

On the spot.

It’s all free will,

Instead of His will

being done, for fun

Turn a deaf ear

So as not to hear

Throw Love away

For Lust to stay

Trading unconditional

For conditional

Pleasure over

Treasure

A wild ride

On the path so wide

Request a sign

from God

As they stand

Before you

Outstretched hands

Three cry,

Heaven weeps

One keeps hope

Tied to the rope

On a raft on the sea

As they walk back

To shore,

one and Three.

It hates this one

Who knows It’s ways

And smells It

It thinks

It has won

Its lurid grip tight

No time to rest

There’s a soul to wrest

Away from It

The lamb comes in peace

But not afraid to fight
