She

She tastes of sacrificial maroon�
as Her essence spills incandescent droplets�
upon the tongue of Her sacred altar�
scribing Her love & untethered devotion�
a calligraphic scrawl upon ancient parchment�
and if you can read the exquisite intent of Her symbology�
then you know the true measure of Her gift
and how you've been blessed�by Her unparalleled cipher�
understand both the shadows & the depth ��
of Her exquisite cryptography
if you've felt the warm whisper of Her breath�
against the naked flesh of your neck�
bathed in the strength of Her passion & purity of Her conviction
as She's inched innocently under the deepest layer of your skin
sinking straight into your hungry soul
if She's lavished you with such tender mercies
as She's graced you with the brush of Her devoted touch
knowing She's open & waiting; yours for the taking
She's nourished you with the rarest of� delicacies
if your tongue has savored Her flavor
you truly know what it means
then you also know why She so willingly bleeds
