Be Merciful-.Be

From the beginning to the end tithe.
Round the circle of eternity, she writhes.
Fresh, full, ripe, and undeniably free.
O God, be merciful to she.

Fill the receptacle with riches untold.
Harvest the bounty of beauty unfold.
Lust not for love is a more precious fee.
O God, be merciful to she.

Trust in companionships hearty store
Let loose the randy and rabid bore.
Feast on the comfort of kindnesses decree.
O God, be merciful to she.

Love the title and how it's not quite the refrain yet carries something else in the extra 'Be' statement after Be Merciful. This one feels different, almost structured. Love the taste imagery in fresh, full, ripe, and also feasting on comfort. reading this I see a woman eating a peach, then streaming her thoughts on a keyboard about how amazing the peach tastes:) make of that what you will wise one..L&L -Yoni
