Bring back my mystic
Bring back my mystic,
my ecstasy, my passion,
show me the mansions within my soul.
Dogma is just strict enough
to whisper through prayer beads,
but today’s people need an Awakening.
Heresy is misinformation
caused by conflict
with existing delicate conventions.
Faith should be violent,
a kiss too long, leaving you light-headed
from lack of breath—
and introspective, staring into the eyes
of purest love,
your own desire matching fire in possibility.
Pray like a beast,
pray like a lover,
use your whole self.
Every inch of skin and nerve tensed
for the release, someone else
caring as much as you.
