Poetry Corner: Sacrilegious

After all that talk about head over at SingleBlackMale yesterday I got to thinking about a poem I wrote a few years ago. Yeah, I'm being a lazy blogger by posting just this but it was on my mind and I thought you guys would like it... Enjoy!:


Sacrilegious
Have you ever worshiped at a man's temple?
Lit the candles of his alter with your tongue,
Been obedient to his will,
Whispered your secret prayers in his ears,
Let your ecstasy flow and cleanse him like holy waters,
Taken his communion,
Have you ever given of yourself fully and selflessly as an offering,
Sang hymns of praise as he filled you and felt his spirit?

I am zealous.
I am devout.
I am a lover.

Are you?
