Able and Cane
My rage subsides by your pacifist ways
Your coaxing ability to appease the overage anxiety and calamity that has been festering in me
With your grace and the magic of your words
I stop and analyze the emotions that held me hostage
And ponder
How was it that you are able to cut through chains that held me
Suffocating me in bondage
My afflicted soul was one insult away from needing hospice
You see the position I was in was killing me
But the god in you laid hands on me
Thus transcending through my physical flesh and taking over my spiritual body
I wanted to cry out
I wanted to testify
But my words were restrained
Because the encounter of two brought together by the spirit
Was killing another emotionally
Because he doesn’t worship the same God as we
I will no longer hide my love behind the shadows of someone else’s past
I have been sentenced
Being restricted to certain sections of your life
Because of the opposed lack of understanding and disapproval because they can’t handle the sensation of the light and the truth
And you because of whom you are
Wish that you could alleviate his mental anguish
So we hide to prevent his sight
But Proverbs reveal to try to save an angry man is a never ending task
So why are we being punished
I want to testify
I want to testify
Give me a venue where I can declare the truth of the one who calmed the rage and replaced it with his love
Give me a venue with a pulpit and two witnesses
There I will vow to keep you forever
God willed it so let it be
His alter ego will not triumph
In the destruction of our union
I ache in his pain
I feel for his position
But I won’t give up the cause of my euphoric state
I pray for his happiness
But I won’t ask for his approval
Am I supposed to ask for his forgiveness?
Have I offended him?
Did I pretend that the signs weren’t blazing in neon colors?
That they weren’t calling out to me
Am I really the cause of an Able and Cane Situation?
Would God will it this way?
Kill the flesh
But fleshly attractions
Did not give birth to this intoxication or need to speed up a forever process
It was true in sight to the spirit
A prayer said by two
When only it was one
Your coaxing ability to appease the overage anxiety and calamity that has been festering in me
With your grace and the magic of your words
I stop and analyze the emotions that held me hostage
And ponder
How was it that you are able to cut through chains that held me
Suffocating me in bondage
My afflicted soul was one insult away from needing hospice
You see the position I was in was killing me
But the god in you laid hands on me
Thus transcending through my physical flesh and taking over my spiritual body
