here is our holiness, praise spoken in tongues
becoming oh God, thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!
easter echoing within the rising and rebirth
equalling soft-sighed rejeuvenation
of this church where my love and I meet
each others countless commandments,
the only confession offered up
is one of mutual hunger
to worship, worship like this,
as our spirits feel internally
the white-hot heat of candlelit
flickering flame,
we kneel at our own altar
christening a celebration
of revelations...

You're amazing.

ohh I like!
best of luck! -
I love this... the tone, the passion with which it's written... the rushed feeling and somewhat hurried (but in a good way, a damn good way
) flow to it...
in fact, that hurried flow, that rush that I get, feel from reading it, that sense of being rushed during m reading of your pieces (does that make sense?) is one of my favorite things about your poetry!

Stumped to add to the comments already posted. You have outdone yourself.

An intelligent and powerful piece, my poetic friend. I love the way you express making love in terms of religious imagery. Portraying love as a sacred act is not new, but you have brought a freshness to the concept--very well done.

Love is quite spiritual. I'm glad to see that someone else agrees with me. J

"we kneel at our own altar"
wow, this is beautiful...the genesis of bodies in the temples of love. Now you make me want to kneel too
.
Simply beautiful and great application of metaphor - loved this one, poetess and the sense of sacred love and lovemaking you've penned here. This is elegant sensuality!!
