A Study of Feelings: Lust (A Kiss)

There is something tantalizingly beautiful

In the way you curve your smiles

In the burning fire of your eyes

In the length of our silences

As fingers touch and hearts explode

Into a shower of stars and whispered promises

As breaths mix and senses heighten

Into swirls of delirium and dizzying euphoria

There is something beautifully cruel

In the shortness of these seconds

An infinite realm of possibilities

Contained in a single kiss

The minute space between two breaths

23/8/14

There is No God Here

There is no god here, 

Between the pews of a grand cathedral

Empty save for a young girl praying fervently,

Desperate for an empty womb.

Her only mistake was believing in empty promises

There is no god here,

In this large space that sings of the Greatness of God

While the hungry starve and His servants do nothing but pray

and tell a woman her value lies in her virginity,

not in her mind or her heart.

There is no god here,

There has never been one.

Or if there is, tell me

Is he worthy of your worship?
