If I Could Spell "Love"

If I could spell
"Love"
With a brush
And paint,
I'd spell it out
With blood from a Saint
Who was spit on and cursed
For doing no wrong,
I'd gather a canvas
And wipe it white
Till the blood seeps through
To the other side.
I'd drink up the blood
With a sacred bread heal
And watch my withered body
Slowly
Start to heal.
As a stitch is sewn
From the inside out
A crowd
Ties my knot
In their world of doubt,
Still disbelieving
Blinded to seeing
Blood spilling out of
A lamb and his crown.

Which poem would you suggest? :)

[Mr. D]

A Biblical translation of this poem:

John 15:13 King James Version (KJV)
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Wow that was quite intense... great use of biblical terms to express yourself... love is the miracle that can cure anything.

[Meliss@k]

Thank you Cowboy. :)
This is my heart cry for the world, for them to not be so blinded to miracles that take place before their own eyes... Every day.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Wow, that is perfectly said... unfortunately most turn a blinds eye, to wrapped up in their own petty issues. BUt I am with you on that.

[Glen Yumang Manese]

You definitely took a different course with this write... this just tears into you as a reader and the whole intent I believe you wanted to get across to the audience... Believer or not... this speaks out...

[Meliss@k]

Thank you so much glen!

[John Fitzgerald]

an ode to faith that the modern world does not, by and large, share...there is a strength here...a determination to be unchanged by what you call disbelief...the open lines are very inspired...and the idea that the crowd ties a knot suggests some sort of martyrdom...strong words

[Meliss@k]

Wow! Thank you John! To the T

[A.J.]
