An Injunction From God

all those times we missed it

An Injunction from God

 

 

It was like an injunction from God

A command performance of love

And in the end our love was

lost in our story

like water in sand

 

Our story took all of our love

Diluting its very being

And we wept knowing

that we had not known

what we had was love

 

Through  the years we waited

looking in the back of our mind

wanting to know and not asking

waves losing direction upon the shore

 

Music filling us up

Filling our senses through the years

Vanished moments of memory

floating over the ocean

 

Our love was an injunction from God

A command performance

Happening only once

A love never ending

A wanting never fulfilled

 

Lost in our story

obsessed by desire

vacant eyes finding nothing

hot empty sands
only my words to fill the void

 

An injunction from God to love
