HERE I KNEEL



Here I kneel

In the pool of my love

Spewing from a stabbed heart

Which pumps no blood but love


Here I kneel

With my heart unsealed

Wallowing in pains and tears

Mixed with feelings of fear


Here I kneel

Drained of apt knowledge

Of what triggered this inhumane act

Displayed by a lady without fact


How do I explain this?

When I've never walked the cheating lane

For my conscience bear me witness

That my attitudes are sane


Did she dine on the table of falsehood?

Did she taste the wine of heart hearted ness?

Did she bath in the stream of mistrust?

Or could it be she's possessed by a demon?


There she goes

With pain inducing knife

With which she came to quench my life

For reasons unattached to my ken


Dear lover turn foe

Behind you I kneel in the pool of love 

Gushing out like flood 

In the similitude of blood


While she unrepentantly walks away

Certainty will play her into remembrance of my words

That many a heart pump blood

But mine pumps love
