****************************************************************************************************
From all the men she has known in the past
No love could be gained spiritually
Nor deep affection expressed so gently
To transcend passion and comfort the heart
But this one man who alone stood apart
Her soul he touched to restore beauty
Enhancing thus its sense of purity
That through his presence love she may impart
No more would desire dominate her mind
To cause shameful acts of a lost woman
She would hereafter be saintly and kind Apostolica
A pleasant delight to all her kinsmen Soneta 015
Many found her self a true wonderment Petrarca
A new creation seeming so divine AD 2002
Should a great messiah be so gentle
Meek and humble with no royal command?
What was his real political demand
Which would give his imperial mantle?
Provoking heaven he was then betrayed
Now all the angels should come to protect
Perhaps the people would join the project
And the doomed Romans could be assailed
How disappointing to the scheming mind
For the messiah was condemned to die
Soneta 016 Upon the cross -- a truly shameful sign --
Apostolica A gentle life was about to expire
Sonetaria Overcome by guilt the schemer did try
AD 2002 To make amends by ending his own line
By reasoning mind he discovered life
And understood the mysteries of man
Perhaps even better than all his friends
At least he thought so or clearly aspired
Until the moment this came to an end
When he doubted the power of his God
At the resurrection of his good Lord
What he saw then failed his reasoning game
This experience had him really caught
In the strangest phenomena of all
There stood the master in a transformed mode Apostolica
A reality no one dared to call Soneta 017
A heavenly truth to negate the fall Sonetaria
Now apparent against logical thought AD 2002
04 John Evangel
In the dining couch of the last supper
A gentle youth sat beside the great soul
Whom he has adored as a good master
A divine person in his human role
As he leaned against the beloved one
To him was shared the tearful cup of wine
From which the truthful man would never run
Making this night a truly sacred time
Love thus perfected became eternal
Generating a deep sense of oneness
Apostolica From a touch that was supernatural
Soneta 018 Love ushered in a state of blessedness
Anglicia Having been found by the greatest of love
AD 2002 This human soul would always be alive
