Duality 
a poem by ~ghostpoet~ 

Look into my eyes...  

...for within their ice lies frozen  
a mystery...  

that the hands  
that feed my hunger to submit  
also cradle my soul  
like a newborn...  

that the raw taste  
of Your hunger for my final surrender  
starves my will of any temptation  
to resist Your lyrical whims and fancies  
as You play me...  

my flesh,  
exposed and taut  
like a canvas stretched 'neath the expert hands  
of an Artist  
who paints my soul with strokes of leather  
and rejoices in its betrayal of my will  
like a Lazarus...  
 

 
You have bound me in chains,  
restrained me with rope,  
blinded me with silk  
and silenced my cries with trust.  

Look thru my eyes...  

for afloat in their pools  
reflects the desire to bathe in Your faith  
and wash away my doubt.  

i need You... 

to make my flesh burn 
and eyes cinder  
and reduce my will to ashes,  
so that i might be born again like a phoenix...  

...and be cradled in Your hands  
once again
