LORD, this morning, thank you. This SONnet will please, tease, release:
I greet thee, having access to Your throne by Jesus
And His sacrifice on Calvary: We pray against the Virus
With a sunshiny name, an aura of a name, garland ...
Coronoa Virus, COVID VIRUS, or SARS-Cov-2, Thy Hand
Is mighty and righteous, always Righteous, even in judgment
We deserve judgment, but we ask for Mercy
God of Grace and Love, forgiveness and Provisioning
Forgive me my greed, envy, jealousy, smallness and scheming
I intercede for others now, nations and peoples, as Moses & Joshua
Canada, guide, teach, help Canada and leaders there
Cuba,Chile,Chad, Comoros: Guide, teach, help them and leaders there
All states beginning with the Letter "C": help them all, guide its Premiers
All of us deserve judgment, we asked for it in many ways, but forgive!
Wicked wind hammering on doors and windows,
Trying to storm in while we lay on a green bed,
My left hand under your head, and
My right hand embracing you.
Your ebony breasts flapped like a pair of vanilla pods
From Madagascar,
Slapping me with the sandy flames of Sahara.
You open your casket of perfumes,
A mysterious fumigation defying traditions of smells, blanketing
Us with misty fragrance, and I prepare my burial in your arms,
Burning an aged incense to prove my existence.
Rivers converging in your wild hips, and
I oar my wheel with creaks and sighs.
Do not be angered, my love, by the shrieks of a mocking bird,
For it too is calling its mate before the moon fades away.
We should be busy bathing our love with spikenard sweats
From my hills and
Ylang-ylang juice from your beloved Comoros washing your
Ruddy countenance
While your bewildered eyes reach a point of no return,
And I inhale the musky evaporation from your jar
Overflowing with newborn perfumes.
My love, let us write poems with perfumed words
And scent the curses of veneering poets to venerate poetry.
