My Divine Creature

by alone in the crowd   Nov 15, 2006


The divine creature of her idolatry
sitting in the golden throne upon her heart
his crimson robes velvet and soft
regally washed within her tears

his crown, a halo, perched upon his head
each jewel placed carefully as a remembrance
every stone representing an indentation in their bond
each shining being reminding of defiance

rich, sweet perfume lingers around him
a mixture of trespasses and lies
yet her soul yearns for the smell
to bury her body within the comfort

she bows before him low to the ground
her knees trembling; she prays for his love
but the divine creature of her idolatry
kisses the hand of a different queen
