My Precious Idol

My precious Idol I hold you closer than skin in the dark this night I could have revealed you in time but would I, I wish you were revealed, that is you’ve brought me to knees slaved me to sin each breath and each prayer each morning leaving returning, how slow your soft touch across my chest the speed of a decade crossing my breast and then I am as u are master to slave slave to will my hideous crime My hunger, filled to hide dissolve blur and cave those places of truth where precious God made I dreamt you engraven rounding my neck feeling the weight constricting loop in ocean of sleep descending the wake through blue waters falling to dark waters deep
