When All That's Left Is To Love

.

You are the temple, I worship within,
living prayers of merging love and lust,
breath writes holy scriptures upon our skin.
You are the temple, I worship within,
a sacred place for me to enter in,
my priesthood's vows renewed by ev'ry thrust.
You are the temple, I worship within,
living prayers of merging love and lust. 














*This is an adaptation of French Triolet, a form which is officially written
in lines of 8 syllables, incorporating Iambic Tetrameter. Instead of French Iambic T, 
I am in the mood for a more rambling Colonial English flavour :P

    Admirable worship Chris - I repect how this write emphasises our obligation to define ourselves as Divine, something sacred without artifice - a truly powerful expression of sanctity within if we are willing to recognize it - that 3rd line is astonishing - J.A.B. %

    glad you liked Dryad. It was not too sing songy for you?

    WEll, Chris, why did you not mention you had a triolet for me to see at least?? I love these kinds of little poems! and I really like how you did yours here!"French" seems so appropriate for this poem! As for really long poems, another reason I don't read them is because I am always seeming to be rushing all the time and they slow me down. haha. I have read some excellent long ones of yours in the past. Right now I have to be getting home! That is why I didn't stop at the long one THIS time.
