Theologian
You circle the periphery of clouds,
A vagabond of the firmament.
Perusing the sun’s corona,
A specter always pining
For meaning
But never needing
The touch of a woman
Or the feral scents of intimate urgencies.
I want you...I want
To be the pungent indecency
That binds your feet to the earth
Inhale the seedy pleasures in dirt
The artistry of sin
Lubricious offerings
And corporal sufferings
When desire consumes you whole.
Give you this...
Before you go drifting back
To your heavenly elopements.
A vagabond of the firmament.
Perusing the sun’s corona,
A specter always pining
For meaning
But never needing
The touch of a woman
Or the feral scents of intimate urgencies.
I want you...I want
To be the pungent indecency
That binds your feet to the earth
Inhale the seedy pleasures in dirt
The artistry of sin
Lubricious offerings
And corporal sufferings
When desire consumes you whole.
Give you this...
Before you go drifting back
To your heavenly elopements.

Virginiapetal, you sorceress of words, you magus of temptation...I don't know who your theologian is, but I wager that his stigmata are flowing at this moment. Beautiful.

Re: Theologian
You've brought me down to earth, sweet Virginia. I'm a Christian, but I'm very subject to the kind of desire you so beautifully describe here. A man who doesn't need the touch of a woman (or other man, depending) is subjecting himself to a life of denial, a tragedy. Has he ever truly lived? Or loved? This is an amazing write, one that I'll refer to after my nightly prayers. Thank you!

Yes, Crow. Please use this as additional scripture just before you sleep.

There is a touch of death in this write, and a touch of, what the mystics call, "marriage of the sun and moon", or in this case, heaven and earth. There is a lot written here. Well done.

This is a beautiful poem! It has a dreamlike flow that sways into the celestial before releasing the reader back out. Very beautiful.

Their mysterious and unintentional aloofness breaks the spell of daily mundane of a dry well. Nicely done.

Spiritual with a twist of indecency whilst high on love...I'm most likely wrong, still I enjoyed every line.

it's somehow sinfully sacred, & sublimely sensual. drifters find this only in brief interludes...
