Tales and Scars

No man has ever been so bold to dare lift a fist or hand to me

Nor is it ok to lift hand or fist to any in the name of love

It may be my bold, in your face, I take no crap face

That says to all, try it at your own risk

But many a mean word has cut a path thru my soul

It is true what has been said

A word can hurt as much as a slap in the face

I have been in the mire of love and deep was the path it took

Many a dark scar and dark pain did pave that path

Scar and pain like the road to Hell and its red hot fire

When the pity, fury and pain did wear away from my jinn

It was then my wish to stay, to live in Hell's miry hot lane

Let a bit of that fury fire burn for ever, sear the soul for ever

If love ever has a need to tear that veil and be real true love

Then let it find its way thru the pits of Hell to me

Love that will walk thru fire for me

That is the love for which I wait, one that has

A kind sort of fire not lit by the same hell fire

That I have made to burn as the cage of a bird for my soul

But the type of love that will ever, yet ever

Heal the soul and lift the mind from the red hot Hell burn

If this be you

Then come find me in the land of love and Hell fire!

Only then will I open that cage and bit by tiny bit

Baby step, by baby step

Let love ever find its way to that dark Hell Cave

That does hide the real true ME!
