Most High

Take your glorious beauty,

your handsome 
perfect body.
Take your precious stones:
Your sardius, topaz, and diamond,
your beryl, onyx, and jasper,
your sapphire, turquoise, and emerald full of gold.
Take it all!

Don’t be so vainglorious 

as you kiss yourself 
like a drooling whore.
God loves his son
who is 
not you.

Awesome poem, Kenneth,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
