gospel music
erotica
rum, neat
this odd combination.
this part, that makes me
at least tonight it does.
part of that search
that is endless
in me
"there's something that you should know" he sings
"only if your life He holds"
Oh, He held it
for a while
a long while, much too long
and answers failed to emerge
the ones that are important
and I left
no more faith
no more belief
only began to emerge
when the box opened
and I found answers to questions
that I was afraid to ask
and He could not answer
yet here I am.
wanting Him to free the fire in me
but..who is He?
where do I find Him?
Here I am
sitting with all the things
that move my soul
a spiritual need
mixed with desire
for a carnal fuck
the burning desire
that has borders that blur
as the minstrel sings,
"all by myself
I don't know where I could begin,
I'm just a spark that quenches
like a candle quenches in the wind"
and I feel
nobody knows the answers
