Divine forces will never be held
within the logic of linear times
and three-dimensional minds
But if a human story were told
it might just go a little like this:
Two forces abound
2 forces are found
Greater than all
Nothing
apart
Reflecting each other
Coming together…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He loved her laugh
She made him complete
Gave him a reason
Gave life a meaning
He made her the world
so she would be his
But all she ever wanted
she found in him.
Still, she loves his treasures
All his assorted pleasures
And sometimes he wondered
if she loved them more?
Ironic it was, to say the least
coz when she looked at the world
she saw him again and again
and fell in love over & over
with every last layer of him
But the love he felt
was all too much
for one heart to contain
And out of fear for all he felt
he took her love and
tried to hold it still.
She didn’t want to be in control
but to be herself she has to flow
free of all logical bonds that hold
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But before we continue
first we must know
just who is she?
And who is he?
She represents a side of us
that wants and wants
gets bored and grunts
“Let’s have some fun!
let’s make use of the sun
Before life’s done!”
And we give in
again and again
Her lust is too alluring
Her aroma too overwhelming
Her mist much too mystifying
Her poison perfected with you in mind
When she comes our way
all we see is day
But when she fades
it’s us who pay
Who are left out
without the light
that makes life’s fight
a small price to pay
For Her V A S T sight
But just the same
we must blame someone
for all our pain
She lifted us up & made us complete
so it must be her fault
that when she fades
we’re just not the same.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The world they created
took on a life of its own
A life filled with his might
A life full of her light
But her light
faded out at night
And sometimes his might
as mighty as it was just wasn’t enough
to keep the fires lit during the long
cold
bitter
nights.
Needing someone to blame
for all the pain that came
Confused & disorientated
from the long distracting night
They plotted away
to find a way
to use his might
to control her light.
They played with his head
and made him believe
she didn’t love him instead
“She just wants to rule you!”
And all he created
out of all his love for her
“She’s out of control!”
they cried out in folds
Blaming her for all their pain
Judging her in all their vain.
It just killed the king
to know his kingdom was suffering
and think it was all his fault
for being so selfish
and loving her
right from the start
So he tried to rein her in
Control her powers
and be her master
After this she was never the same
Like I said from the start
she must be free to flow
if you want her to glow.
He broke her heart
but not out of hate
He did it out of guilt
He fell for the bait…
Driven by his devotion
to the creation he shaped
out of hearts set in motion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She is the beginning
And she’s the end
Without her he’d never mend
But he’s everything in between
and without him
she’d just go insane
Alone in the dark
Alone by herself
No reason to live, no reason to die
No reason to sing, no reason to cry.
She brings death and pain and sorrow
Yes, it’s true, but there’s always tomorrow
A new day to come
when she’ll flow a new way
lifting you so high
you’re thankful for the pain
You’re thankful just to be
a part of life’s game.
In the end she just couldn’t go on
without his love to fill her empty glass
She broke inside under all their blame
She blamed him for not loving her more
But worst of all
she blamed herself
for being herself
And it was much worse
than any pain
you’ve EVER felt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When he saw the truth his anger
E X P L O D E D
He gave up what he loved most
for the gift he made her
out of hearts set in motion
But it was too late
She’d fallen under
Heaven & Hell were created
out of one big old cosmic rift.
She fell deep down
she fell without a sound
She reached for his hand
she begged for his help
But when she realized she was all alone
All she could do
was
moan
and
groan
Or maybe she thought
he’d save her any second
I mean how could he not
His love was too great
to allow such a loss
Her light was too bright
to live without
But that’s not how the story goes
If it did then we’d never know
the strength of a love that grows
A love that cures
And always endures.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Left all alone
without his queen
on her throne
all he had left was the world
he made for her
So he played with the world
like they played with his head
He broke their hearts
And left them all alone
Broke them down
and split them apart
as they had her
She saw him above
a boy playing with toys
but she didn’t see
all the blackness behind the mask
and she thought he
didn’t need her anymore
Broken inside she fell deeper down
into her abyss
of her very own
Noth-ing-ness.
When she heard their cries
the cries of the broken
disheveled and
deserted
She was comforted by their pain.
Not because she’s wicked or evil
But because it was better than
Nothing
At
All.
She reveled in life’s pain
Took in the fallen souls
The discarded & the damned
The sinful & the shameful
The rejected & the reviled
She made a kingdom of her own
comprised of everything cast off
when the universe was split
in half
by a fight over
what’s good & whats bad.
All she found was what he lost
when his creations perished
from the pain of his broken heart
So you see
the devil was not born out of hate
but out of love
for all that called her name
when life’s too much & they went insane.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She saw it as proof that the truth was
they really needed her in the end
to make them whole
To make life sweet again
So then she didn’t feel so bad
She thought she had to choose
between what she wanted
and what they wanted
But when she saw they were really the same
she swore she’d stop at nothing
to prove it was the truth
so she could finally go home to him.
So she blew a wish into the winds
sending seven souls
with real live hands
to live in his lands
and enact her plans
But they lost themselves
just as he lost her
Them blamed themselves
and were their own judge
They suffered humanity’s pain
& found little relief in their gain
Just enough to keep the spell cast
asleep in a land lost from the past
They shut their eyes to hide from the pain
instead of opening their hearts
and searching for the Promised Land.
It was all her fault – it was all her loss.
It was all his fault – it was all his loss.
It was all their fault
It was all their loss.
Yes God is great and God is good
but something else makes God woo
Something else we judge & blame
Coz love brings pain
and loss brings gain…
to be cont.
