The scripts of human theater
Replete with many roles
But favorite parts are cloistered hearts
And crippled one-eyed souls.
No sin you have can scorch me
Or poison this well’s core,
My affection far too obstinate
To suffer the pathos du jour.
Yes or no we touch earth lips
Still I’ve known your longest kiss
And outwait all indifferent gods
For one caress of finger’s tips.

[ Note : One of my favorite, most simple and beautiful lines from John’s Gospel… John 1:39 “Come and See…” ]
