The Light of Life in Love

(I feel like this poem requires an explanation. It is a stream of consciousness poem exploring the methods of rationalization humans often use. Other than that, I can offer no insight, it is whatever you make of it).

Give me a moment to breathe again
And I shall look upon my hands and see the blood
Contrast to the grey ground where my dreams fell
And the lightening thunders round
A deafening sound, a deafening sound
I feel the pain inside of me
Whether it is shame or anger
I know not
But sorrow will remain
How many times can I destroy myself?
The end comes and I watch
Scribble a new beginning
Dip your pen in blood
Scalp the blank page with scalding hate
Write a life that resonates
Nothing has meaning
My life is yours and yours is mine
Insects, small, infinitesimal
A breath of air sighed slowly
Wiped away by the wind
On wings of cold air and rising heat
The passion is what it is all for
Regret is death in a stranger’s cloak
Lies are knives with which we kill
Smiles are pretenses with which we deceive
Dying on our own breaths
Small wonders ripples and water
Dying dying and falling until the splash
And the memories of yesterday
Keep you from living today
One breath at a time
No stress, give up breath and sigh
Lovers embrace and kiss and tell
Then sigh and sigh and embrace
As death falls again and ensnares
All who try to flee and leaves all who come
Will
It is the very essence of fate
Wants never become reality
Fears always show their head as the truth
And death comes swiftly to those who are happy
And never touches those who beseech it
Why is it so wonton?
Vile fickle death I scream to you
Take me if its your will!
I know how you work now
I will be immortal if I speak your name
Because then you will fear me
Marriages fail because they are spoken
Love is not a word
It is not a thought or emotion
It is light it is light
The clouds cover it but
It is light
If you know love you know light
I know love I know light
If you know love you know God
God is light
God is love
God is God
I know all three and see now
Love cannot be spoken
Given taken moved sliced torn hurt
Broken spent or damaged
Love is infinity
Death is its avenger
The symphony of dark
Attacking love with black wings
The dark attacking the light
But light always over comes the shadows
Therefore love overcomes death
See? If you wish to die cease to love
But that is impossible
Because love is light
Light is our soul and our being
If we do not love
We are nothing
Love is all you have
Light
Not numbness
So do you live or die?
I live with love the light of life
And serenity is mine, bliss is mine
As I slip into the darkness of death
