Heretic

A tall mistress with coal black hair, my lover.
She opened herself to me like a divine offering,
Opened and hallowed, her breath short and swift
Like the descent of my flesh into her heavenly
Abyssal warmth.  I wept as we came together
One flesh, indivisible, if for only the briefest moment.

That is what God had intended wasn�t it?  That moment
When all things cease to be?  When the breathes of lovers
Are the only audible sounds even with her legs together
Covering my ears?  Kneeling, praying, dying, offering
All that I can give for the glory of residing in one heavenly
Palace, one opportunity for absolution?  And yet so temporary, so swift.

In one hand she held a Rosary which she cast off and switched
Her grasp to help the other in seizing my locks momentarily
For soon her nails dug my scalp and bled over me.  Heaven
Can not possibly understand the sensitivity of human lovers;
The joining of two separate entities with no agenda than granting,
Reducing all facets of existence to one puddle, side by side.

The door opened and he caught us together.
As he entered he was smiling.  It left his face swift.
His face showed confusion, eluded by the concept of offering.
She covered her body in humiliation and a blanket within that moment.
Her face showed that look of a child with her hand in a jar, a lover
And she withdrew her hand from my breast, my jar, my heaven.

The door slammed and the light from his eyes shown not the mercy of heaven
But the wrathfulness of God finding his children naked and ashamed together.
Their had been a plan of his to see me with his wife, his possession, his lover.
The roses in his hand were griped till they drew blood from his hand, thrown swift
Into the corner of the room.  The glass vase the stems were tucked in, shattered in that moment.
And all the grace of heavenly abandonment could not  uncorrupt that tainted offering.

Offering
Heavenly
Moments
Together.
Swift lovers.

For in the air of self-discovery and reclamation of personal fulfillment,
Forgotten and betrayed are those who led us to that point, converted faith does that.
