christen me

Labels: 0 observations

christen me with all you dare share, fair
and unleashed. not a pet to an ego, but partner
to one who sees you as nothing to be possessed
except in those wilding moments in feral privacy
where I will show you the fire saints withhold,
waiting for the golden moment when the firmament
splits and the baptism of cowards awakens
a transfiguration of sorts. a perfecting prayer
that finds you as you really are.

    Explaining the Tags

    You will note, gentle reader, that all works under this blog now display "tags" to help classify and assign the works for your review and enjoyment.

    These largely fall into 4 categories:

    Year of writing, e.g. "1999"
    Book published in, e.g. "from an unexpected quarter"
    Inspiring muse, e.g. "Aubergine"
    Genre, e.g. "erotica"

    We are still in the process of cleaning up the tags, so please bear with us. Yes, some muses are classified under more than one tag, some poems appear in more than one book, or not yet in any volume, and some years are...hazy.
