Religion

She wasn’t Catholic but she knew what magic felt like.

She wasn’t Pagan but she knew what drawn blood felt like.

She wasn’t Christian but she knew what pride and fighting for something felt like.

She wasn’t Wiccan but she knew what falling in love felt like.

She wasn’t Taoist but she knew how to be patient.

She wasn’t into Shintoism but she was always fascinated to learn new things.

She wasn’t into Buddhism, but she knew perseverance.

She wasn’t much into religion; but she knew what heartbreak; rejection and how to feel shunned felt like…..

Until she found a new religion and a new God; life and herself.

Sword

The lourde is my shepherd, my rock and my sword. I shall not want. Lo though I walk in the valley of death throughout; I shall fear no evil. For hell is my wrath and God surely is my

sword….

The Forsaken

God will not forsake

anyone and everyone.

He does not forget.

Sword-Teth

It was unhealthy to kiss him.

His immaculate grace with clear blue eyes;

as I put my lips to my mouth to put my hands on his immaculate feet.

To feel Mary’s children.

As I gazed up at the cross, his immediate mercy shines upon me at such a cruel distance.

Jesus nods his head to look at his children who had betrayed him.

As he looks me in the eyes and tells me;

I am your savior; your rock and your shield.

And you; one….

are my sword.

Sunday Before Mass

I’ve never gotten close to touching you.

O how I long to touch your face and love your body.

You were the only thing that looked normal in a church full of ignorance; hypocrites; other sinners who didn’t know….

how

to

Stop sinning.

The only innocent thing that was there.

Angry.

and tired.

O how I wanted to touch you with these sinning hands.

To hold you and tell you all’s alright and everything’s going to be okay.

Church Pews

When your eyes meet mine I can feel the warmth of the sun as the world moves under my feet.

Your sapphire blue eyes are crystal clear and they lead me to different places in my heart and your soul defies gravity as your inner child leaves your heart’s consequences of early pubescence as it takes a grip on you.

How dare you beg me to sin and look back at you when you know that I can absolutely not!

You are my favorite person and my color of lightning as you strike me again and again.

You have this ability to make me sin and I am so tempted to look back to see if you are there in between church pews.

But you are not.

I have to admit, I do miss you and I have loved you since we met.

La Credo

I will not go quietly into that fair night 

As long as I know there is a God incarnate and a devil behind me.

Lo I fare in the land of darkness and all that will hurt me,

I shall fear no evil

For god is my rock and my shadow.

 

Lo though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil

For the lorde is my rock and my sword….
