Prelude of My Life:
I
If I were to overcome the monster,
It is you, o Death, my Doppelganger.
If my life were a rags to riches tale
It would be I proved my LORD God Valid.
My life is a quest, and I seek Heaven,
More desiresome than a comely maid.
If my life were a voyage, it'd be to
Come to our current land, and see its rules.
If my life were a comedy, it'd be
That I am a bumbling love bug, too.
If my life were a tragedy, it'd be
That I will not be deceitful, so lose.
If my life were about Rebirth, it'd be
That, once wrong, I yet desire goodness.
My plot amour is love.
II
First, my call to adventure is falling in love with love.
Second, I receive wisdom of what love truly is.
Third, I meet Jorgia, the Maiden of my Dreams.
Fourth, I begin to find truth, and wisdom, and love.
Fifth, I meet my friend along the way, and he teaches me the ways of the world.
Sixth, he bombards me with Nietzsche, and Greene while I encounter many Atheists.
Seventh, I confess my life's sins, every epistle loosed from my soul.
Eighth, I learn I am not a great man, while encountered with a True Faith Preacher.
Ninth, I spend five months in jail, and two years on probation, and ten years in a shameful state.
Tenth, I find the proof of God's existence.
Eleventh, I do not know. Will I meet love, and accomplish the crux of my wisdom? Or will I perish in tragedy?
III
The characters in my life, are as follows.
The explorer, who seeks the adventurous war and cause.
The outlaw, who scorns me.
The magician, who enchants everyone around me to be my enemy.
The hero, who is Christ--not I.
The lover, where is she yet? Only in my fantasies? Or will she come?
The jester, who made my life light and free, but who teases me.
The everyman, who supped and dined with me.
The caregiver, who I would never have accomplished a thing without.
The ruler, who will neither praise nor condemn me.
The creator, who is I, the writer of this poem.
The innocent, who is brother to me.
The sage, who is my best friend.
