I don’t like people at my feet
So, I could never be an emperor, or a king
Though I believe myself capable
Of just about anything
But loving – that’s a tricky one.
How does one go beyond –
I wonder – to be overcome
With wonderment of another
Find salt – beneath a fingernail –
Of the Earth’s splendour
Licking them clean, one by one,
Until there are none left to surrender
To me, it is beautiful but immodest
To bear one’s soul so unabashedly
So bare-naked, weak and honest
That you throw off one’s shoes
Trade them for an embrace and warm breath
Old vestments, at the foot of the bed
And at mine, just you.

He gave us free will
and made obedience the key to his kingdom.
Offered unconditional love
with a caveat of repentance
Trust in his plan
is why your prayers go unanswered
Asked that you bear the guilt
for a martyred son he had forsaken
Using our free will
to chase the love of an abandoner
Naming faith an act of love
  in the absence of reciprocity
His act of love, to give us life
robbing worship from our mothers.
This love is the universe reflected in your tears – universal smiles
we’d savour beneath the sheets; you offered a fragment of your
soul, while I surrendered a piece of me. Even in your absence,
you haunt me in my quiet dreams – how do I even try to sleep,
without you lying next to me?

A belief in the silent secrets carried in your breath, lying to me;
an elephant in the room; so hard to forget all the space it takes
thinking about you. My gaze is drawn to you – I am merely a
pencil sketching on your body’s canvas. Filling my mind with
oceans, drowning me in your skin- departing too quickly, I start
to feel so blue.

I loathe to confess just how deeply I worship you. Such a false
goddess; still I find myself resting down these offerings of my
heart, to lift you highly.

Though you are not a deity,
each step that you take here
becomes sacred to me.
Your path leaves trails of light
and my heart bows at your feet.

Can this be how I worship?
Not through song, but word?
Is it still worship?
Traveler Oct 23
I’ve said it before
I’ve written a billion rhymes
And for all my effort,
I never earned a single dime

We have always been
and we will always be
And I shall gladly worship
sometimes you but always me!

Who do you worship?

my devotee, i caress,
with gentle prowess, as their veins run with blood,
and i feel it beneath my fingertips,
a limitation, to my inner being,
as i take their chin, and lift it up,
gripping forcefully, in an attempt to break the skin
and feel the truth, in their worship
almost completely rid of their mind, but not their heart,
my acolyte, gazes up at me, smile framed by these fingers
i am supposed to call mine, awkward and useless,
until she came and found me, and suddenly,
everything living became vital,
and i could feel a pulse beneath my own skin,
beating and beating and beating,
endlessly enduring, a trait akin to my follower,
whose very presence has started to consume my thoughts,
a place that used to be mine only, and yet,
im willing to share, if it means i too,
can one day show them the truth in my divinity.
basically word ***** but i think its kind of cool!!

I want to be attached on you as the scars on your body
Permanent on your skin with no way of erasing my semblance
Embracing the journey of your body and all its transformations
Embedded in your most intimate places I know secrets about you that I’ll always conceal.

When I beckon you
Come worship at my temple
Make love to my soul
I am seeking to fulfill
Our purpose in this lifetime
A tanka for my lover.
