My sweet new jerusalem

By heavens gates we rest our souls,tired from mortal life.By heavens gates we rest.Yonder we gazed as the horizon of our new jerusalem dawned,pathways crowned in heavenly gold,paved with rubies and sapphires.Barefoot by the shores of the sea of heaven,with the soft sand kissing my feet.Bathed in audacious beauty,almost to a blinding effect.Caressed by the warm winds as we relax to the sounds of the harp of David.Inevitably relaxed i feel.I breathe easy,i rest easy,i live easy.The skies give way,as if to give a bow.They beckon me home,they demand my joining themReluctantly it all begins to fade,slowly,the relaxation turns to distress,the breaths become more shaky,The harps of David cease and the skies swallow me.My sad state of helplesness dwindles,and reality finally sets in.I find myself in an oasis of confusion,sinking in shallow waters,blinding beauty banished,exchanged for stinging horryfing hallucinations.I wake up,and find myself watching helplessly,as what i felt completed me,evaded me once more.You walked away,and called me back to reality.Reality that our mortal life is not paved with rubbies,sapphires,diamonds and gold,but with smiles,giggles,holding of hands and eye kisses,with frowns made to look the other way,with tears wiped,not just by hand but by heart.I realised too late,that these are what mattered,i realised too late that it was not just the horizon of new jerusalem that captured me,but better yet that you were my new jerusalem in your audacious beauty,and it was you that blinded me.Now as the music stops and the sun permanently sets,leaving night to haunt,i lay watching,as my new jerusalem slips away,beyond my reach,never to be grasped again.

Finally i succumb

The acidic taste that made my temple its home is gone,gone and replaced with sweet honey like enticment,a hard to resist feeling,a situation unearthed by her.without words even spoken,i understand what she says.she dances to the tune of silence as no song can speak as loudly as her grace.no poem strong enough for competition,no symphony as perfectly synchronised as the smile and gaze she works with ease.you whose will is stronger than the force of gravity and transforms hearts of stone to ones full of clarity,i succumb to your thought.you are ruler of the kingdom of i...i built an edifice around my soul as i was afraid,but how did you manage to breach my defenses and destroy the motion sensors of my dull world?my heart beats to the rythm of your movement.when you melodiously spoke,twas as though you were speaking in 7 different languages,languages governed by love.and as you endevoured to surpass my intellect with words,your verbal artistry found new residence in my ear.you keep banging on my heart like a xylophone,turning and twisting then leaving me to play to your pleasure,just like a gramophone.it has suddenly overecome that i no longer see you in the physical,but as a trillion mollecules of light,similar to that that led the 3 wisemen to the stable of salvation.u make me reach that highest most coveted peak faster than eloquent words could be said by martin luther.that feeling so exuberant that mere hapiness bows on its altar is what u clothe me in,that feeling is what i keep on feeling around you...that feeling i could never quite understand,while basking in the illumination of your perfection.
