Heaviness of soul-searching
is ****** into sympathetic arms
- alleviation in darkness.

We are the animals
desiring answers
but needing affection.

Warm lips and fluids
a temporary release
from oppressive questions

Though even sensual yearning
will be embraced
by ultimate disclosures.

Why deny your hunger
while searching
for a god?

Both share
in the equation.

Barring a robin
nothing sacred

Forgive me.

Forgive me for not asking your forgiveness.
For not accepting you as a savior.
For not believing the mythology
embedded in the narratives.
For not condemning the subsequent religion
as inattentive to your instruction.
For condoning the charlatans
who steal money wielding your image.
For tolerance of the spiritual quagmire
permitting no advance.
For passiveness at the psychological torture
and centuries of persecution
performed in your name.

All in the name of an individual
who taught the simple supremacy
of Love...

Your memory deserves
a better testament.
