Virgin Mary

Exploration of religion, greek philosophy, and LGBT+

Go home and repent. Never 

       like this should the universe explode.

Pausanias had ordered a double 

shot of virtue please so naturally 

       you tried to save her,

played Host in a symposium 

of your tangled tongues melting 

        together. Your purity remains intact

But Father cries behind the pulpit

this is fundamentally wrong.

        Oh, salty flesh of Gomorra!

You shouldn’t have looked 

back at her fiery Eden eyes. But 

        in her arms, you die a supernova 

and believe in evolution. 

Author's Note

This is my first poem ever. Any advice appreciated!

For your first poem. You did very well. You create strong statements and left the reader with something to think about.
"of your tangled tongues melting
together. Your purity remains intact
But Father cries behind the pulpit"
The above lines were my favorite. We are force to learn rules no-one understand or obeys. Title caught my attention and I like the ending. You made the words come alive and thank you Emily for sharing the excellent poetry.
