well, it is coming close to the time when my holidays end and i have to return to college,
so my visits here will be limited. I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone at Passions, to all the friends I made here in the past 6 months or so, sorry I can't thank you individually. Thank you all.

=========================================

Virgin Christ

It seems too easy to arrive here,
with the harbingers of guilt
I nurture, only now
attentive to the full force
of the censored,
and tasting what I dare
not imagine in adolescence.
My tongue carves a nest
waiting
to receive,
to seize,
to bleed,
to be drown in seed
as testimony
to your Cimmerian ways.

Now the line is
nowhere to be seen.

Away from
the scrupulous eye of social circles
and the blessed bosom of the mother.
Under you
compassion caresses
with brutal adoration,
no submissive reprise
only a loving smack
in the face.
Here, in me,
you have found a disease
in which to expel the traumas
and rage of mistreated youth.
It's our scars that make us feel alive,
but
It's their infliction that makes us this way.
We are both victims of circumstance,
perfectly matched in our deviancy.
Still you hold supremacy
on Calvary,
savouring my thralldom
to this blessed artifact,
you coerce my flesh to climax.

There's a feeling of contentment Now that you are here I feel satisfied I belong
inside Your velvet heaven" Depeche mode

brian, im afraid this one is too profound for me but i enjoyed the second verse lots and thought it queer(though refreshing) that you have used the word "disease" to describe the speaker...

Exciting piece! I truly believe it will take me many reads to understand it though. I can't help but wish to know what serenity's questions are in case they are the same as mine that I can't even yet formulate in my own mind.

I think she must be right about the 'smart' remark she made. ;o}
