The Core of Absolute

I want him to go. Psychotic menace on the run. Ranting, raving, haunting me at every turn. Frantic, flaming, I can only let him burn. Mind splitting anger, I am one, With what, I don't know. I feed on a grudge The Lord is my true enemy Because my guilt ridden soul He won't allow To be housed in this body. He'd disavow The fear of love's true reverie: Ego, the poor judge. It's not as if I didn't try, it really isn't. To not want help(love) is to not understand what help(love) really is. Love is the core, I am love: Therefore, I am the core, and you with me. We did not decide this. We cannot change this. This is absolute. This is freedom.

I have been confined to psychiatric units myself, under treatment for clinical depression. While there I met several patients who were afflicted with this terrible disease... my poem is for them Thanks. K.

Yoni, Your poem is well written and full of emotion on both ends. It demonstrates the pain of guilt and the freedom of love. Each on opposite ends of a continum set up by "your enemy", the Lord. Having been human himself, He understands your delima. Don't give up on Him. The purest and sweetest love comes with His Blessings. Seek and find freedom for the eternities. God Bless you. Keep writing. Love, Dane
