Faceless God Of Faith

Faceless God Of Faith

Each flash of sorrow in puddle of time 
diminishes knowledge of ticking clocks 
ungeared with measureless words of false hope, 
so she stumbles onward toward somewhere else 
still clutching the book about broken walls 
that she stole from the faceless god of faith. 

Gazing out the clean window of respect, 
with eyes she borrows from cynical crows, 
she counts the people in the parking lot 
who come to the hospital of the damned 
with good intentions to monetize health 
everyone pays the faceless god of faith. 

Reluctant to return the flowered dress 
she received from her mother after Christmas, 
she erases her name and date of birth 
from every legal document she finds 
to prove she no longer exists in game 
of death played by the faceless god of faith. 

Too terrified to open the red door 
that always reveals scenes of harsh abuse, 
she eats pink jasmine-scented scroll of verse 
she wrote from song of angels in her heart, 
then walks the signless road of anywhere 
to give mask to the faceless god of faith. 

She knows what I am capable of doing 
so she beams my shadow of fleshy words 
back through huge mirror of infinity 
that stretches bounds of possibilities 
huge as the network in my tangled mind, 
brain designed by the faceless god of faith. 

Eligible for entering gate of Heaven 
without extensive documents of dreams 
trampled to grapes of wrath by ardency, 
she tries to sell my obvious book of spells 
to the oak tree who gives her key of thoughts 
while evading the faceless god of faith. 

Attempting to organize her weird thoughts 
in accordance with law of averages 
to comply with regulations of trust, 
she stops abruptly on the signless road 
to ask the raven why she is not lost 
who has become the faceless god of faith. 

Honored to be crowned Princess of the Moon, 
who keeps the tarot cards of faith that read 
have mercy on soul of the cosmic herald, 
she announces she will marry the fool 
who stops himself from walking off the cliff 
in bid to cheat the faceless god of faith.
