lust's redemption

 
reap the honeyed lust
mixed with the innocence of me
taste my sacrifice and be sated
 
craving the holiness of you
the righteous undisputed manhood of being
who preaches to the woman in me
 
you stir my blood, fire in my veins
the celestial host all testify
there was you and I before time began
 
I blink back tears of knowing
doing my time without you
aching sexuality, pulsating need
quasars speak this truth
testify of my wanton desire
 
in your absence, I've been a whore
prostituted to the devil
a mistress in waiting preparing for her God
 
so I would understand your intentions
feel your depraved affliction
your ravenous hunger for the flesh
 
yes. I feel your loneliness
as you bury yourself in another
sadly, you can't go deep enough to satisfy
 
I wonder this realm
searching for my King
in the eyes of mortal men
 
redeem me...
