Guest guest Posted April 18, 2001 Report Share Posted April 18, 2001 the beloved suffers not "If the Lord should give you power to raise the dead, He would give much less than He does when he bestows suffering. By miracles you would make yourself debtor to Him, while by suffering He may become debtor to you. And even if sufferings had no other reward than being able to bear something for that God who loves you, is not this a great reward and a sufficient remuneration? Whoever loves, understands what I say." -Saint John Chrysostom oh, my readers…, all you that truly love understand me when i say love suffers love i want to go so deep within you beloved deep within the dancing waters of your eyes i want to drown myself in your holy tears love suffers love all you that endure love understand me when i say i want to go even deeper within you beloved far below the crashing surface of salt and foam i want to swim into your radiant darkness understand me when i say beloved love suffers love all you that sincerely love wanting to swim in the still water beneath the waters sinking further within the radiant source of darkness seeking to escape suffering in what lies deeper within all you that chastely love understand me when i say beloved love suffers love that as we drift further within love’s sacramental waters our debt to the beloved is to suffer as the beloved suffers to touch the infinite darkness of ceaseless burning far within all you that sincerely love suffering love’s suffering and understand me when i say beloved seeking to embrace suffering love arises higher within drifting further up and further in beyond the crashing surface longing to touch the far side of the dark water’s azure mirror please understand me when i say all you that endure suffering suffering loving, love’s loving loves, loving suffering beloved, i long to drown in just one of your pearl tears deep within the brilliant dancing waters of your sacred eyes i lust with a fierce lust to go so deep within you beloved oh, my readers, all you that would truly love understand me now when i say beloved suffering not, love loves loving, love loving loves, not suffering oh, my beloved…, i am baptized by the fierce love burning in your holy eyes so baptized in your beloved love your beloved suffers not mark christopher valentine (april 18, 2001 3.21 am) unedited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
