Holy Palmer's Kiss

I am the chosen vessel
The chalice of transmutation
Where the alchemy of sex
Makes holy blood into holy seed

I am the sacrifice
The virgin lamb on
The altar of your lust
Taken in a haze of need

I am the crucible
The hollow where
You essence collects
The molten life of saints spilled

I am the penitent
On my knees before
My savior, offering
All that I am to all he desires

In this sacred place
You stand in your glory
And I worship your
Infinite mercy and control

With mouth and body and hands
