Am I in love with love, or is it love that shuns me from it’s emerald shore
For passion, for heartache, for friendship and fellowship
God looks down on us and watches our days grow greater day by day.
I know not the tender hearts that long for me, as I look towards my own passion
I see not another light in the sky, nor star in the night
I see what I see, and I hear what I hear
I love what I love, and the price is a tear
Longing and loathing aren’t much apart, but the days of the fools number longer than smart
How could I be blinded by the deaf cries in my head, for never have I seen such a place in my years.
I am a fool to love the unlovable
Or should an unlovable fool be fooled into loving?
I hear it now, it’s the utter of pain and silence so loud
Take me away from the rest of this crowd
Cast me into the sea, for I cannot see
Cut off my ears, with an ear I can’t hear
Neither time nor place can save me anymore; I hope mercy sheds my heartache so sore.
I always fancied love would overcome religious law. Love is the true religion ... one must do as one's heart bids, not some "laws" dreamt up by a stranger long ago in a place that no longer exists.
Just my thoughts,
Ken
