Kiss me like,
Love is your madness,
Infect my world,
Drive me insane.

Hoping to buy a more heavenly fate…

It is hard to pay it forward,
In a lost world of me and mine,
Like a handful of pearls tossed toward,
An undeserving, greedy swine.

No matter whom your chosen Lord,
Or what gifts in death be reward,
Whatever path your faith has trod,
What word and face you use for God.

Possessive shown by apostrophe,
As if all the material things,
Buy gold harp and angelic wings.

But rarely do we treasure,
All the things with which we’re blessed,
Wanting more we do attest

Blessed am I this surrogate
For Mother’s missing love
A sister only by some fate
True blessing from above
