------------------/// J*ne I Don't Want To Let You Go; Scoffing At Ahaziah


Moab, the country of my heart's consternation warring
against my settled lovelorn conscience (I cant sleep at night in Israel)....
and in the commotion your rejection of me (Ahaziah) fell through the lattice
of a bejeweled upper chamber, fraught with frills of your last words
"Im....in a relationship"
weakened; contracting a sickness unto death
and we know Baalzebub (the god of giving up too easily)
will only conjure up oracles it wants to hear
(for a price)
so before its desires of reaffirmation can reach Ekron (the land of false senses of security)
My unflinching love for you has to intervene:
since my steadfast devotion was second guessed and not besought
denunciation's fate is already sealed. Frail and ailing, it shall not be revived
the talk of me giving up on you and you absolved of my affinity
must die
and I often sit on the top of the hill of hope
(pondering your blonde hair, your dimples, your spinning class music)
enfolded by a sea of moonlight, flanked by sprinkled stars and speckled shadows
of the trees (of passion) on either side of me
intrepid
in the face of a captain of fifty soldiers of despair with his fifty
intent on pillaging the optimism and joy I harbor inside of me
of me kissing you
with tears in your eyes (our wedding day)
my singeing emotions for you will burn up all those that oppose us
even if you don't believe, J*ne - I do
and I have the mettle to face a second wave of negativity and doubt;
another captain of fifty with his fifty henchmen of discord
swords drawn, determined to reroute my romantic quests
forcing me to bow before the prospect of never seeing you again
BUT I SWEAR THEY WILL NOT LIVE TO SEE THE DAY I RELENT
seared by my obstinacy and refusal to be refused
charred attempts to coerce me to recant
torched temptations turned to soot and ashes – smoke rising
even if I walk back to that day you rent my heart in two
and spoke those cursed words
(this past July at the fitness center)
I will not be afraid
Ahaziah is perishing; cant live many more days
but my commitment and loyalty to you
remain
scorching

[forever]


2 Kings 1:1-15------------///

Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab. And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease. But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed. And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back? And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words? And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite. Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down. And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly. And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight. Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight. And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.



----The Truth About Heaven Lyrics

Walked past my grave in the dark tonight
Saw the stone and the note you left for me
To answer your question,
I just had to leave, I just had to leave

But that's not why I'm here
I came down here to tell you
It rains in heaven all day long
I wanna find you so bad and let you know
I’m miserable up here without you
Miserable up here with out you

Found my way back in the dark tonight.
Couldn't wake up not right next to you
I'd trade in forever to just hear you say
The sound of my name

But that's not why I'm here
I came down here to tell you
It rains in heaven all day long
I wanna find you so bad and let you know
I'm miserable up here without you
Miserable up here without you

Don't believe that it's better
When you leave everything behind
Don't believe that the weather
Is perfect the day that you die
Don't believe that the weather
Is perfect the day that you die

I came down here to tell you
It rains in heaven all day long (All day long)
I wanna find you so bad and let you know
I’m miserable up here without you (Miserable up here without you)


I came down here to tell you
It rains in heaven all day long (All day long)
I wanna find you so bad and let you know
I'm miserable up here without you (Miserable up here without you)

Don't believe that it's better when you leave everything behind
Don’t believe that the weather is perfect the day that you die
