Pleading love (2011)

i'm pleading love with you.
I'm pleading certain eternity,
against assumed entropy.
if it be a rose,
let it not be long stemmed,
but a bush.
allowing multiple glories,
and chances for redemption,
seventy times seven.
i'm pleading love with you

i'm pleading love with you.
not possesive.
for it is not ours to give.
shared and given back,
like the lives we live.
stewards of a conception that is never given birth.
it's vain to even think we could raise it's children.
i'm pleading love with you.

i'm pleading love with you.
more than a thought.
equal to a belief.
but less than tangible.
as delicate as it is precious.
as real as it is unrealistic.
if we touch it...
we probably missed it.
unapprehendable...
i'm pleading love with you

i'm pleading love with you.
trying to amplify the voice within.
the spirit bearing witness to the truth,
that I am not mine.
neither you, yours.
bought at ransom,
with the chore of chores
i'm pleading love with you.

i'm pleading love with you.
a commandment twice said;
love beloved
and
beloved love.
for life's sake,
not mine,
to be returned in-kind.
i'm pleading love with you.

i'm pleading love with you.
soul, mind, body.
latter incident to the former.
relegated to a lesser love;
eros!
former incident to the essence
source of a supreme love;
agape.
i'm pleading love with you.

i'm pleading love with you.
not with shadows;
me as god,
sex as intimacy
or knowledge as truth.
but,
me as you,
thus intimacy with the essence,
because that's the truth.
i'm pleading love with you.

i'm pleading love with you.
as,
co-counsel, disciple.
co-heir, ecclesiastical.
volitively compelled,
choiceless evangelical.
i'm not speaking to the masses!
this is your personal "road to Damascus"...

i'm pleading love with you.
