Tired of Speaking Sweetly
love wants to reach out and manhandle us
break all our teacup talk of God
if you had the courage and
could give the beloved his choice
some nights he would just drag you around the room
by your hair
ripping from your grip all those toys in the world
that bring you no joy
love sometimes gets tired of speaking sweetly
and wants to rip to shreds
all your erroneous notions of truth
that make you fight within yourself dear one
and with others
Causing the world to weep on too many fine days
god wants to manhandle us
lock us inside of a tiny room with himself
and practice his dropkick
the beloved sometimes wants
to do us a great favor
hold us upside down
and shake all the nonsense out
but when we hear
he is in such a playful drunken mood
most everyone I know quickly packs their bags
and hightails it out of town

Thank you....That's just about how I feel too. Shaken upside down to shake nonsense out and sense in....
Ya think there's anything such thing as shaken soul syndrome? LOL!
