You are (my religion)

This seemed so obvious, a cliche, a common place idea... I am surprised I cannot find the words of the title (or similar) in the eg John Donne etc. But I wanted to play with it anyway, so here goes...

You are (my religion)

you are my faith, one and true

my devotional, confessional, processional

I fool

myself, a believer, kneel to kiss

supplication suffering this, his

triptych arms flung wide

encase me warm and beating

next a semi-sacred heart

with a brushed-down breathing kiss

there's a glory and a splendour

in "blaspheming us"

our sin unites to re-present

a holy outstretched touch

so touch me and we'll love

we'll grow and re-create

our vision to expand

in flaming unity.

Author's Note

OK. So this is a bit more "out there" but try it out for size - and please leave your thoughts - good, bad or indifferent :-)
