How To Be Baptized

Dear John the Beloved,
spread me; your gospel
and be baptized in my Jordan...

let your tongue speak diverse kisses to my lips
as you read and flip through the heavy breasted pages of Psalms
simmering slowly down the breadth of my nude hips
with tickling fingerings, way down to Jordan,
where I'd baptize you - my convert;
in streams of cums and echoes of holy moans
as you pray open my liquid pool that drowns you
with the thrusting of the sceptre
between your Pillar which is the master key.
and me?
I lie, beneath your Depth; a quivering flesh
suspended from reed fragile bone
to be revived by the Prophet.

Beata Agustin November 16, 2024 at 9:50 PM I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

L Milton Hankins March 30, 2021 at 2:15 PM Okay, Lucia. I find this poem a bit too erotic and explicit to be couched in terms of the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan. Sorry, that's just my opinion. Lucia U. C. Igwe March 31, 2021 at 4:48 AM I understand. Sorry if it conflicts with what you hold sacred or sensitive to.
