Ad infinitum

Vast as the universe above and beyond this little
speck I call home,
My heart within burns a flame imperishable.
a starry host of thoughts wreathed in shadow and flame
furnaces of hope,co-existing with 
pits of despair like black holes
that suck in all the joy and peace
leaving me empty and void.
Wants become needs...

I turned my eyes to things...
Crimson wine, scintillating bling,
I ran and hid in cascading smiles
in enamoured eyes behind raven curtains
of fragrant tress,
'neath towers of mounting flesh
wantonly I gave myself
and failed
and my heart still yearned
my gut hungered still until
I was found by He who died
yet still lives
Whose love is deeper than the deeps
stronger than the hills
and he picked me up and gave me life and now
He who ascended to fill the universe without 
now fills the universe within.
