My Fathers Love

My Fathers Love

Listless almost mind dead,

Thoughts race,

From place to place,

Inside my head,

Both extremes and all so fast,

How long can such emotion last,

Silently there I sit,

Try to get a grip on it,

Wronged so viciously,

The uttermost cruelty,

Vengeance sinking rancid teeth in me,

I simply pile on another heap,

Until its head is buried deep,

In the only weapon I yet keep,

Surprise, then dread,

And then it’s dead,

Not expecting LOVE to reap,

A multitude of forces,

Assault my troubled soul,

I know what their course is,

Of my life they want control,

Alas, as long as I am sane,

I give myself to my god’s NAME,

Yahwah, Papa, Lord of mercy,

Let your holy ghost embrace me,

Steady, calm and everlasting,

Answers all that I am asking,

In my innocent childish prayer,

I understand He’s always there,

Until my life’s last breath,

When this body,

Surrounding me,

Knows death,

The love I feel,

And know is real,

I pray will be,

All that others see,

Not fear, pain or animosity,

Who me complain, let it not be,

I pray I stay eternally,

A reflection of,

My Father’s love.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
