My House of Cards.

My House of Cards.
_______________

I had built my
House of Cards
so carefully..
one can only
imagine my surprise
when it came
crashing down
quite suddenly.
(the moment she
smiled at me.)

Her Eyes
immediately
set fire to
my Pen..
(that once
dripped an
icy poison.)
giving me the
ability to feel
Joy again!

(like a child
given a golden
box to put his
favorite toys
in.)

It's amazing
how the simplest
of gestures from
a pretty girl can
make a profound
impact on calloused
men,..who have
spent a lifetime
allowing their
cynicisms to fester..
without a lover,
god, or friend.

Oh..Grace indeed
spares the Wretched
Soul! (and helps many
who were broken
find a Truth which
makes them whole.)

So No longer do I
sit embracing Silence,
contemplating gloom,
lost alone in thoughts
of violence,..and obsessed
with Worldy Doom.

For the House of
cards I call My Heart
is bigger now!
(and she waits in
every room.)
