Neither lover nor foe
Neither lover nor loved
Dancing between the restless waves of your heart
Mired in the ceaseless tumult of my convictions
I twist to gaze thirstily at you once more
I soak in the promise in your amber eyes
Lap up the speckles of yew on your thighs
Taste the blueberries on your arms
Is my thirst slaked by the hush of the night
Filled only with the catch of your breath
Am I sated by the crush of your mouth
The moans that escape you in the chill may air
I want you with a fullness beyond touch
I crave you with a sorrow beyond lust
And yet I remain...
Decorum-bound in the sanctity of the three
The holy father whispers to me the words of the son
"You are sin and filth you remain"
The holy ghost spits at me
In fear I tremble
I speak my confessions to the beads I still count in my head
Hail Mary, where is your grace?
Is the lord with me too?
Blessed are you
But I the sinner sit cold within thy womb
Holy mother, will you pray for me now
Or at the hour of my death?
