When there is glory of love!…: A poem 

Is it the metaphor or matador, 

at the window? I stick my head 

to its glass and feel the Sun turn 

to rain; and think of Marduk… 

Is there a gangway for gallantry? 

A legitimate succession of heirs? 

Sometimes, you wonder, if the stars 

came around each night, to shine  

their Lilliputian love at you? They may 

just be thorn-pricks of deceit?! Do they  

all take turns to imposter God? Like the 

Sun keeps hiding its face among the Ages? 

I walk into the clouds of such ephemerality… 

And think of eternity! Even if the love I 

created was not meant to be, what it was 

meant to be…! Paradise’s fabric can still be  

saved for another day, even if it is venomously  

motheaten today! Children, Hark! Vehemence 

and outrage can be the kindest words, when 

you have all been led astray! Love is no furtive  

foundry, no abashed clay, and it cannot be  

battered in uncaring abattoirs! But sometimes,  

your legowork must be taken apart, your  

Dominos must fall! Mother, we have metaphysics  

and metempsychosis at hand! Even Samson came 

back to raise the Temple he destroyed in fits of rage! 

The glory comes when you persist to resurrect 

everything you lost!

I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
