To The One Who Is Worthy (Valentines)

To the one who is worthy,

I built my wall so high and thick preserving the heart that is so gentle within 

Too many have come before you, destroying  this sacred temple with no regard  

 I, unintentionally giving the purity of refined gold to deceptive suitors who only serve their selfish ambition 

Cutting any piece of flesh to make themself a protective coat 

Taking from my hands to collect the wealth of a lover with no return 

Only building up their fortress to pursue jezebel’s whom will only claw at their back and leave them empty

Only the one who is worthy will endure these forsaken walls and burn them down 

Only he will receive the innermost sanctuary of me that has been locked away for my own safe keeping

Alabaster Box

Alabaster Box

     I have been preserved within the walls of a sacred temple

Centuries of aged perfume in the confines of worshipful sentiment

      Refined by the fires of many priesthood’s to bring you the truest of rubies 

Laid open at your feet as a servant in saintly humility 

   Broken before you in an aroma of heavenly oils that wash over every scar 

An unending love letter of healing redemption

        Blanketing your tenderness for all time

Lying Here

Lying here, wearing your shirt

As the stars serenade your name 

I breathe in and the universe bows in array 

Too many reflections of my face within yours to deny the retrograde 

Of our planets aligning for a destiny of reunion 

Defined elements smolder under heated waves of vicarious desire 

As star crossed lovers fall into the captivity of one another’s armed abyss
