It desires the perishable;
Castles
Masks
Silver and gold.
It desires to do wrong;
Hate
Revenge
and Anger.
It does against the Holy book
whose words are hidden in this heart
It seeks empty riches
knowing they are dust
It burns for “sweet revenge”
yet my Lord says revenge belongs to Him.
Fail me not thy Flesh
for thy soul knows the anchor.
P.S. I wanted to try reading out loud this piece
I must say I get a much stronger sense of this poetry hearing you perform it. I think you have a sense of pacing that doesn’t always come through on the page as well as in performance. Great to hear your voice, too.
Thank-you very much Elizabeth 🙏. It’s encouraging to hear. English being my second language and having a stronger accent of my mother language, I constantly have “say it again”?. Being able to speak comfortably to people and delivering my massage is one of my biggest weaknesses. I thank you very much Miss Elizabeth for your kindness 🙏.
Love your sexy accent😉
