If Thou Be Perfect

October 19, 2009
By Anonymous

If thou saw my anguish for love and

Thou reiterated my flaws, I shall understand.

For as your innocent shall not hear thee,

Thou fractious mood like the battle of the Bismarck Sea

Thou strike me and judge my impurities

I can’t be perfect, except I be GOD…FLAWLESS

This request of yours grilled me frantically

A tasteless lullaby heedlessly

Coarse melody, harsh and abusive

These whole years, I tried not to be intrusive

To your metaphoric expression

I tried to relinquish this obsession

But my aim for true love escalated the plan

If thou art perfect, let me not be human

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
