Without question.

Clocks are Lie Machines

you are in the midst of the change you want

[thewrittenrules-blog]

The verbal grunts of the inner wordless wants

In love, every moment is trust building or trust destroying...

A tie that binds or a thread that unravels

But where do all the thoughts go that I gave you, once you're gone away from me?

And what of the memories that were yours that were also ours?

What happens to the invisible fibers of memory threaded and knotted and tied to keep us close?

I'd have only this feeling left: The inverse impression of you. The cavity of the mold your soul's weight imprinted into me. But it's only the absence of you.

Tracing the corded memories to the place where you connected to me to thumb the frayed ends where you would belong.

Can you believe in a god who loves living through your pleasures?

I cannot believe in a god who can't.

Can you imagine loving a god through your pleasures?

Can you see a god's purpose in the pain?

I cannot understand my own brokenness without it.

Sometimes be the darkness.

Sometimes be the light.

The utility of both is obvious (light) and implied (darkness).

The existence, irreducible necessity and interpenetration of both is irrefutable.

Thus the "irrefutable ought" that follows has been said before (albeit to the point of death):

"Be ye wise as serpents and harmless as doves"

What transcends and relative to?

And from who?

And then, when, wherefrom and whereto?

true love is a lover's legend made of myths and verily so

[thewrittenrules-blog]

Of course, yes, of course I blame God

...and I'm in love with you

I see His awe-full designs in everything we do

...and for the fall, the way we fall

Of course, yes, of course I blame you

...your steel-trap love foreordained
