STAINED
.
bathed in stained glass
before morning mass
reflections of rain
run down window's pane
unbuckled and open
no words can be spoken
my mouth on his belt
while all else is felt
to them, I am damned
I am what I am
though try as I might
for me, he's the light
the Eucharist's taste
fills the gash in my face
his fingers slide in
forgiving my sin
For God doth loom beyond his son
The highest pow'r, only One
My husband of thy many wives
Who've taken on all of his lives
But I in my black habit worn
Must have his flesh as I have sworn
Devoured from his bloodied guise
Replace mine his all-seeing eyes
And so I see the rea'l truth
And thus I pledge my faith his Ruth
To be his brick and mortar site
Corrupt the sheep and make it right
To say we did and bless it so
To lose their trust before we go
Forgiving all I do for thee
There is a place in hell for me
Forsaking all who kneel and pray
We shall not hear a word they say

I won't make any jokes about nasty habits regarding this fine work. This is a shocker and a fun one. Always had a thing for nuns! Don't know about that one in the pic of course.... Good luck with the comp!

really well crafted, I really enjoyed your couplets

like a poetic pendulum
you swing heavy
from mood to mood...
inspirations is wherever you find it.....be it dark or light..
or somewhere within those many shades of grey
tantalizing entry Jade
good luck!!!!

Oh my, thank you Naajir, with much appreciation for your sentiments. I sort of faded off for several days. It's good to see you stopping by to share with me.

I am so glad you included this in the competition - even as a non-entry... because if any poem rises to the comp description it's this.
