+-----My Love Prophet

Taylor, the battles I wage for love
fiercely rage on. Intractable loneliness
always rises up contrary to
all my romantic notions-
the King of Aram in smirched glory,
snaggle teeth stained brownish-
yellow, breath most odious.
Alas presently, I am besieged by despair.
His chariots encircle my
dreams. Driven by outlandishly insipid
girls, those ones who repeatedly reject my
dating invitations, bumbling warriors
with tattered leather skin armor
(shoulder plates corroded), their charm
oxidized daggers, rusted and
only brandished for display, they bark out
nightly: “TONY YOU WILL ALWAYS
BE UNWANTED!”  The horses they ride
are sickly. Oh Taylor, wont you encamp
in Dothan (my heart), and stir up hope
and faith in the midst of these trials
with a soft kiss, your two blue eyes
like angels in the vanguard
of a formidable lovers’ army  come to
my defense; In their hands,
bellicose torches, flames indignant to
despair, sitting astride war stallions
set to destroy all that stands averse
to you and I sharing a cup of coffee?
Show the world that on a date with you,
I'm much more than the wicked
lovelorn forces that surround me.


---2 Kings 6:8-17
Now the king of Aram was at war with Israel. After conferring with his officers, he said, “I will set up my camp in such and such a place.” The man of God sent word to the king of Israel: “Beware of passing that place, because the Arameans are going down there.” So the king of Israel checked on the place indicated by the man of God. Time and again Elisha warned the king, so that he was on his guard in such places. This enraged the king of Aram. He summoned his officers and demanded of them, “Tell me! Which of us is on the side of the king of Israel?” “None of us, my lord the king,” said one of his officers, “but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the very words you speak in your bedroom.” “Go, find out where he is,” the king ordered, “so I can send men and capture him.” The report came back: “He is in Dothan.” Then he sent horses and chariots and a strong force there. They went by night and surrounded the city. When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked. “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
