Altar

 

Lead me

to your altar

of blood.

I want to drink

from the fountain.

Let the warm liquid flood

down tight throat.

I want to bathe

in the red glow

of your heart

as it drowns me

beneath the flow.

 

Lead me

to the cathedral of blood.

I want to see its beauty,

towering over me, around me.

I want to hear

the echoes of ancient words

reverberate through my bones.

I want the choir to sing,

A hymn that could shatter stones.

 

Let me rest amongst the pews,

as the view

causes me to stagger.

Let me feel the blood

coursing through

like the world

has been pierced

by a flaming dagger

 

Lead me

to your temple

of love.

I want to worship.

Down on my knees,

read me scriptures,

written in your hand,

tell me tales of golden sands.

Show me the

way to your

holy seas.

I want to bathe in the water

like it is only for me.
