The Poetry of M - 18. The Royal Heart

Wrote for a friend who got a message but didn't 'get' it when he got it.

There is an opening in the soul
Beaten out like a golden door
Bought by pain and completed by love
That becomes noble by war

Fractious enemies that tear
They compete against the opening
Fighting to keep closed what should be wide
This Fear and this conceit, live as constriction

Which is death

Withering they fry and freeze to
Pull closed the golden door
Sucking it shut and sealing it in pain
A Nobility ransomed for safety

The golden door hides within a
Force stronger than any if loved.
Nurtured it pushes forth and breathes
It beats and it quivers with measured force

Open always open and out it pushes
Love as blood and gore as light
Seeking to break out the infarctions
Of the Self to give life to the All

This, the noble Royal Heart
It earns its kingship
In its holy war against what would
Seek to stop it and end the love


That is the blood
That is the life.

Open the door.

easier to stand the pain you know on this side of the door than to open it and face the unknown

Yet, standing still behind a door and never leaving makes the room you are in your eventual tomb. 

But, there are more ways to get through this door than by just 'walking' through it.
