gospel
I speak in tongues for you
Carve psalms into my back
Lick me like gospel I could drown you in my holy water, allocate the bread and wine
Take my body to heal you, drink my blood to ease your mind
I guess you could call this worship, or god forsaken congregation
You stare turns me to a pillar of salt, your hands they seem to mystify
Miracles begotten to me from the only god I've ever known
The clay from your hands opened my eyes as if my entire life I had been walking blind
I've never known a love so sanctified
Carve psalms into my back
Lick me like gospel I could drown you in my holy water, allocate the bread and wine
Take my body to heal you, drink my blood to ease your mind
I guess you could call this worship, or god forsaken congregation
You stare turns me to a pillar of salt, your hands they seem to mystify
Miracles begotten to me from the only god I've ever known
The clay from your hands opened my eyes as if my entire life I had been walking blind
I've never known a love so sanctified

first thoughts you sound like a devout Christian. I tip my hat to you for addressing that. Spirituality is a topic most poets don't write about. second thoughts are why are you so pissed? I hope I don't suffer any backlash for posting this comment but I'm not afraid. welcome to the deep and I hope you have fun and a very positive experience on this site. keep writing and perfecting your craft.

First off I'm an atheist, but I like to use love as a comparison to religion because it does make you believe in something higher than yourself, and I'm just naturally a grump and pissedpoet is my Instagram handle so I thought it fit. Thank you for the feedback!!

well, well, well, I seem to have met my match. I wouldn't say that I am technically an atheist myself because I do believe in God and Satan but I don't particularly worship Christ in the same manner as other Christians would but hell that's neither here nor there but I am a very bad grump. I suffer from many mood swings throughout my day that people have a tendency to think I am always mad or mad at the world when in reality I am just a pissed-off poet just like you. sometimes my life is lonely and sometimes it seems like one big fucking hill. Maybe we both can learn from one another. Come take a gander at what I offer and see if there is anything you like. Love Joe D

I'll probably keep posting because I don't have any other outlets to show my work except to my partner, but I do appreciate that and I'm open to making pals on here
