    Able and Cane

    My rage subsides by your pacifist ways
    Your coaxing ability to appease the overage anxiety and calamity that has been festering in me
    With your grace and the magic of your words
    I stop and analyze the emotions that held me hostage
    And ponder
    How was it that you are able to cut through chains that held me
    Suffocating me in bondage
    My afflicted soul was one insult away from needing hospice
    You see the position I was in was killing me
    But the god in you laid hands on me
    Thus transcending through my physical flesh and taking over my spiritual body

    I wanted to cry out
    I wanted to testify
    But my words were restrained
    Because the encounter of two brought together by the spirit
    Was killing another emotionally
    Because he doesn’t worship the same God as we
    I will no longer hide my love behind the shadows of someone else’s past
    I have been sentenced
    Being restricted to certain sections of your life
    Because of the opposed lack of understanding and disapproval because they can’t handle the sensation of the light and the truth
    And you because of whom you are
    Wish that you could alleviate his mental anguish
    So we hide to prevent his sight
    But Proverbs reveal to try to save an angry man is a never ending task
    So why are we being punished
    I want to testify
    I want to testify
    Give me a venue where I can declare the truth of the one who calmed the rage and replaced it with his love
    Give me a venue with a pulpit and two witnesses
    There I will vow to keep you forever
    God willed it so let it be
    His alter ego will not triumph
    In the destruction of our union
    I ache in his pain
    I feel for his position
    But I won’t give up the cause of my euphoric state
    I pray for his happiness
    But I won’t ask for his approval
    Am I supposed to ask for his forgiveness?
    Have I offended him?
    Did I pretend that the signs weren’t blazing in neon colors?
    That they weren’t calling out to me
    Am I really the cause of an Able and Cane Situation?
    Would God will it this way?
    Kill the flesh
    But fleshly attractions
    Did not give birth to this intoxication or need to speed up a forever process
    It was true in sight to the spirit
    A prayer said by two
    When only it was one

    this is beautiful and really touched me in all aspects

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
