why do you test me
when i give you it all
why do you initiate
the dark night of my soul
why must i always be proving to you
that all that we are is all we can do
i hate that you hesitate
and don't fully trust me
i hate that you question
my intent and my love
so why do you test me
with so many questions
is the doubt all inside you
are you unsure of your place
is it your spirit that's failing
have i nothing to do with your fate.

Jamal

when your spirit is failing
my pen resorts to wailing
its silent screams
are read out loud
and while its voice grows faint
its meaning grows more important


Very nice cate
Sad ... but beautiful...

i'm reading some gerard manley hopkins at the moment. as i am an atheist, he stirs my fascination about Man's relationship with God and what that entails and what is expected from it. hopkins went through a crisis of faith and considering he was a jesuit priest that is of great interest to me.

may be my savior
but I know better
and have before
remained but a nose
on the cheek of less
been kissed oh holy
with restraint and
morning sickness..
