Beholden to another, a mother's
Arms cast first to a man and then, in time,
To all children of the earth, I lived my
Years in service of my son, my Father,
Until time played upon its silver strings
A note my heart no longer could sustain.
Though I never yearned for death I welcomed
It secretly, to be once more matched with
That which nail and spear had taken from me,
The blues and whites of my youth no longer
Wrapped me, then, instead, red robes, always red,
Red now and at the hour of our death, amen,
A color for weeping and motherhood,
Buried in the shade of my birth, I slept
Not in darkness, not awake, not alive
But like the sand upon the wind, empty,
The separation from the touch of God
A greater pain than any in my life
Save only one, I waited but knew time
Not nor space, until with a rush and slip
Into my body once more poured my soul,
Heavy in the deep shroud of burial,
Removed from stone and stone from tomb removed
I walked again the world until a voice
Remembered from my youth gave commands and
In ecstasy and brilliance I was raised.
This, and more, my new eyes both were offered:
Thrones, dominions, ophanim rejoicing
A chorus of angels, a world of light,
True light born not from the sun but from He
Who made me, split skies shaking, seraphim
Streaking, wing and dove, singing, timeless, this
Moment, one moment, now and forever.
My boy before me, little love of mine,
The promise of the ages so foretold.
Salve Regina
Salve Mater
Ora pro nobis sancta Dei Genetrix.

Thanks for the Catholic flashback, hombre.
Being that we are commanded to eat Jesus weekly, I've always wondered why there isn't a day for the "Holy Consumption," too.

Shlong - will you please remember that I'm smart enough to know this, and that my comments are full of much the same?

I can't wait to pull off that beard when I go bald. "Jump To Conclusions," earns you the +1 because r0fl isn't a huge poetry guy.

I'm out.
Happy Assumption Day everyone. Hope you all enjoyed the assuming you did today, and got lots of Assumption presents.
Me? I got a Jump to Conclusions mat.

LEGENDARY WORK MY SEXUALLY CURIOUS FRIEND
Uber has so little to offer, and then...this guy, a master of the language, someone who can consistently offer things that are either thought provoking, humorous, WHAT THE FUCK EVER...he posts good shit.
And you people shit on it.
I'm not much of one for sticking up for people here, because everyone around here is supposed to be a big boy or girl...
But for fucks sake, some of you who bash him are the same ones who complain about the lack of content on the site.
That is all I have to say on the subject and I'll say no more.
Oh yeah. One last thing:
I'm infinitely better than ALL of you at EVERYTHING. It's true.

I'm pretty sure the only thing Greek that interests you isn't the language.

It took a lot of self control not to do something else with this title, Shlongy.
We'll see if you hate it when I make something else of it...

Ed Straker: A funeral. Without a body. A symbol of human compassion. The long finger of tragic coincidence, stretching across a billion miles of space. Is this the end or the beginning? Where does the universe end? Where does it begin?

I KNEW I was gonna hate this from the title alone.
Oh, and from the author.
BUT MOSTLY FROM THE TITLE!

HAPPY HOLY DAY OF OBLIGATION, SUCKERS.
I'm not a Christian anymore, but I still consider Mary my homegirl.
Pretty poem, by the way. "Virginal" made me shed an emo tear.

Given the holy day of obligation, this is an Assumption/Art Post Tuesday of sorts.
