Insane Love

What is this madness then, in a world gone insane?
Do you remember when reason and logic came?
On our very first day, their own holy target,
To help us on our way to where we could not get.

We try try to reach heaven by use of our own thought,
For we did believe then that all was as is ought,
But this world is not right, not all answers are here,
But in faith not in might lies the secret of cheer.

The truth of sanity is not in this world here,
But faith in King to be is this secret of cheer.
The King and God above doth do much more for me
Then reason, logic, love, or this world's sanity.

Tis madness then to love not only lust of flesh,
But my dear God above, the two that will not mesh.
For by his love divine He was led unto death,
And then He made you mine, my lovely darling Beth.

But should my love for you ignore my love for Him,
And if I honor you more than I honor Him,
His grace I will not get, no mercy to be had.
The fires then will not wet, and I would be a cad.

And so I do love you, but hold you below Him.
With a song meant for you I will sing praise to Him
He did die then for me as I would die for you,
And we shall always be for I will e'er love you.

This is what happens after a bit of thinking and then freewriting for a bit.

    I really like it...you should tell me when you write something new because I don't check this too often... But I especially like the second half of it. And I'm really glad to read it (and see the smiles on the side of the page...).
