True Devotion
- True Devotion -
What, is the full meaning of true devotion?
Thou needs not ask if thou hast pure faith.
Mayhap it be found within fierce emotion:
Which burns, like the heat of hottest days,
In the blood and sweat of zeal profound…
Such things sensual to sensationally relate!
Or where sighs and cries may oft abound.
Idealize or idolize, emulate or lie prostrate,
Before the object of thy wanton adoration!
But give all of thyself, holding naught back.
I want such zeal in my holiest celebration…
So that not one passion we might so lack!
True passion is fury true devotion is flame,
Kindle the divine spark within thy bosom…
Say not of things that art too crazy or sane.
Inhale ye the fragrance of love’s blossom!
Give me thy love; give me all thy pleasure,
Let us indulge our every whim and desire!
Naught, is forbidden, no secret treasure…
Of flesh or spirit, to which we may aspire.
Grant me thy all, for aught less, is nothing!
Wouldst thou, do less, for a being divine?
Love me, lust after me; crave my blessing.
Appetites, art to be indulged for all time…
Bask in my light; bathe in my love’s bliss!
Let hunger and thirst be satisfied sublime.
I shall give to thee salvation with my kiss!
Be thou blessed or lost I am here to find.
Let us eat and drink and dance and feast,
A bacchanalia to astonish those on high…
And in our lusts let us be fierce as beasts!
So that love: be our law, beneath the sky.
There is more than one way to thus bow,
More than one reason, to piously kneel…
Also many kinds of services, gods allow!
More than one way, to holy rapture feel.
Pleasure hath power, to please the gods,
And elevate mortals to heights unknown.
One who, in secret understanding nods…
Will see, that there is much to be shown!
Show me, and I will reveal to thee more.
The gods hath hungers and thirst to sate!
Blest is: passion, and the sacred whore…
So let us, our divine unions consummate.
Be one with me, and taste of a paradise,
Unknown to those who art more limited!
Let us loose our fire, and by that device,
Transcend beyond the living or the dead.

Beautiful and such power and magic that creates a wonderful world inside my mind. The painting is magnificent as the poem. This is my favorite part:
"Be one with me, and taste of a paradise,
Unknown to those who art more limited!
Let us loose our fire, and by that device,
Transcend beyond the living or the dead."
So much power filled in those words. Wonderful job, dear Mother of my Soul :)

Darling Lilly, it is so good to see that you liked this read so very much! Indeed, I was going for a powerful, magical (in almost a primal sense), and emotionally-charged feel when I was penning this poem, and it is great to see that you noticed this about it. Awesome segment you picked to quote, too, it is indeed filled with a great deal of poetic fire for certain. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, daughter of my heart! :)
