Penitence

Poetically I'm in my feelings,
Wanting to be chastised by you.
The scars left behind,
 signed by you.
Fingernails and lip prints
Moans barely audible; 
whispers of you.
Cream, and for 
ovation 
ingredients of you.
My sin needs your 
religion.
I'd follow you.
Saving grace
lying in wait
to taste 
the undoing of your fate
embraced by your
out stretched arms
Entirely forgiven 
for all things I'm
about to do to you
 the repetitive
nature
in which you say 
Amen; softly 
then loud.
You make heaven proud.
