For a boy
who dreamed
like boys do of playing with
their trains and games and
hiding seek with friends
Not
as this boy was
his innocence so abused
and lost forever for being
just a boy in this town that
showed no pity
For a Boy
who wanted to be loved
shielded by his parents
and shown the proper way of
loving and being loved
But
instead he was traded off
by so many people and used for
their own physical pleasures and
mind games of lies and deceit
A child
plucked from the vine
full blossom and ripe and told
by them it was the right thing
to please and smile and let be done to
Him
the acts that soothed their vices
for awhile and filled their carnal desires
while putting
in his sweating palms the silver
pieces to show him that they cared for
what he just gave up his dignity and
tenderness of youth unspoiled
Just knowing that he made them happy
was all he could feel but asking himself
why me Lord for I am the innocent child
Broken
for their pleasures over me so should I
let myself be the aim of their desires for
always or will they stop the touching and
caressing of my body and soul and set
me free to be just a boy with dreams
of playing with his trains and games and
hiding seek with his friends again
His world
is spinning out of control now
and the water is no longer shallow as he
slips beneath the murky darkness and
weeds entwine his body while he
drifts into a world of wonderment and
light no longer feeling the caresses
from above or the dirt under his soul
that they left him with each
time they played their games and
touched his sadness and broken
Heart
He is finally free so clean
pure and running in the fields of lilies
and daffodils chasing the colorful kite
as it blows gently by the breath of God
who cleaned him up and gave back his
soul and righteousness
This boy
who dreamed of trains and games
and playing hiding seek with his friends
no longer in a town without no pity
But
forever playing with the angels hiding but
seeking no longer for he is found and
saved by faith
