Christ sacrificed
skin,
speech,
defense,
and life —
it is,
perhaps,
the least we can do
to sacrifice
our impulse
to dominate
in argument
and put
in its place
prayer.

2 Kinds of People
Since the moment
I found you,
I have only encountered
two kinds of people:
you
and those who aren’t you.

Poetry
Poetry is for the living,
but death
is what grants it meaning,
making time so fleeting
and love so precious
that even poetry
can scarcely
touch it.
Lands Over Lands
Even if you’ve never
traveled beyond borders,
if you’ve entered
the open arms of love
or eclipsed the lighted end
of despair’s underpass,
you’ve seen
the most exotic things
this life offers.
Beauty
Is something
beautiful
because it is
unexamined —
mysterious, unique, untouched —
or is it
the exploration,
the unearthing of layers,
that makes a thing so radiant?
Pain
We reject pain,
but how
that rejection
— that indominatable spirt
to thrive against loss,
creates the most
beauty!
Appetite
But how
do you
give an
appetite
even
to my eyes?
-L.M.G.
Chaos = Interest
Do you
ever think
people
are violent
or invasive
because they don’t know
any other way
to be interesting?
-L.M.G.
Bad Words
There are no
bad words —
only bad intentions;
your words
take the blame,
like
spoken scapegoats.
-L.M.G.
Fanart: Severus Snape
Allegiance to all
Allegiant to one
The Guard of your magic
The Guard of your son
I feel your pain
In this burning mark
There’s no more beauty here
No more art in the dark
-L.M.G.
