[hometext] => I was thinking of the person shackled to the wall, but still felt love for his enemies. I hope you enjoy this one. MaJ
[bodytext] => -------------__________------------ You have shackled me to this wall awaiting my final fall To blame someone is to point at a few With all of this, I still do not hate you The beauty we perceive with our eyes is but a reflection of the vast expanse of beauty, divine love, and peace I cry while shackled in this eternal stance I was shackled to this wall below the belt not able to move but an inch or two My hands are bruised and this bleeding I have felt still does not cause hate towards you My clothes tattered and torn my skin wrinkled, colors of black and blue my cuts deep and worn But you persecute me, and I pray for you Hate is not in my skin my soul or my mind Behold I see the beauty and good within Only hoping one day the beauty you will find All I ask of you is that you catch me when I fall for you I would do the same I am not your true enemy after all for my death I request you have no shame I am bound to this wall, my bones breaking waiting for my final moments to be alive I am shaking while my body goes through these changes Even after I am gone, my soul shall survive. I did not say it before but I leave you with Matthew 5:44 So when you see me lying breathless on the floor Remember these last words of mine are from my heart's core. "I say unto you, Love your enemies Bless them that curse you Do good to them that hate you And pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you" These shackles can not break me into hate this dark cold room will not change me For I will stand waiting for you at the gate So read my final thoughts, and the truth you will see. Now it is over, I am finally dead I am lying here on the ground my body removed from its head I still cast no hate on you, for I am now heavenly bound.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
