Duplicitous Souls (1980)A Poem by PoetryofProvidence
Listen not oh heart
to the moanings of your lord Distant lay the thoughts you can ill afford This twisted channel we call self swings wide along the course Far off set contention dwelling here inside shiftless as the beaches sand like the swelling of the tide The aim is often unless the strivings of the mad insanity dwells with us To keep as though we had a prison bar to stop it and under key is kept enclosed within a locket to render it inept Listen to the still voice who calls so gentlely though vociferous the other Tell it stationary be The restless one dwells with us We segregate from calm Retract from it the virtue Let goodness be our balm Put them in the dungeon where darkness does belong Display our splendid treasure Joyessly among the throng Yes heart you are the master with you has wisdom been You can well decided the fate of the one who enters in Control you can desire conclusive evidence is in that you can put out fire and keep a rein on sin Be not swayed by ranting Listen not the the insane Turn aside to the street the one that's clear and plain Invoke you I discreetly beseech you I do call Set your aim on piety resolve us not to fall Return to all thats righteous all eternities decree Bear the image of the light be not the death of me Oh duplicitous soul , one side is broken and the other is whole © 2010 PoetryofProvidence |
