Love Poem

Love Poem
Blue-eyed ghost,
Waiting for a stray silver bullet to catch your heart
And carry you to heaven-

Do you know you're perfect?
You are joy-shaped,
And your DNA is made from the sun?
Your spirit is a sunbeam!
You don't have to die to be in heaven -
It's open and raw and it belongs to you now.

Dear blue-eyed ghost,
Your every tear is kept in a jar near my heart.
I see every thought that would sink you heavy in a pool
I want to unwind you from that sticky web of stars that
Caught you when you fell backwards into the sky.

Blue-eyed ghost,
I am not repelled by the sick darkness that is your humanity,
But I see the Light in you, your freedom-gift from Me.

It's ok - oh, no need to talk yourself out of anything.
Eyes on me, princess.
I don't need you to be anything,
But I want, I want all your attention.

Those ropes,
That ball and chain,
Those cages
Have nothing on my infinite love for you.

No trouble or hardship
Or nakedness or danger or sword,
Neither death nor life,
Neither angels nor demons,
Neither present nor future
Nor any powers
Neither height or depth
Nor anything else in all creation
Could separate you from My love.
