port wine is darkA Poem by knightcallshe shines brighter than any angel let your wings down turn that halo into a navel ring you squeezed all the bibles in the sacristy used the ink for your tats and i can see the revulsion of the congregation it only makes me want you want you anywhere there's crosses and bells you got drunk on the sacramental wine all giggles and come hither baby you're the perfect host the light never came through the stained glass until you were here don't convince yourself there are no bad boys on the altar sometimes the prayer book is lined with pornography i heard the bells found you the tower your wings were raised your glow was back you gave me a last kiss then you flew away
