Trespasses

Trespasses

A Poem by Jamie Charbonneau
"

My passion for him consumes, overtakes, everything else until he has become my entire existence.

"

Because sleep
(or is it crying?)
is for the weak.
Either way...
too little, too much
give and
       Take
        me
      please.

(shotgun)
You took mine
and I took yours.
Of all the firsts, this
one was ours.
My Temptation.
My Sin.

Our first first.
You wish you had
taken (been) mine.
I can't help but think...
Me, too.

Warm breath. Cool smoke.
I pull the air from
your lungs as
        skin
          to
        skin
you press into me.
Starved for affection.
My Love.
My Sin.

I offer myself up as a
sacrifice.
Giving me over.
Relinquishing control.
Tracing the lines of
scars, like beads in
a rosary,
chanting your name
(mantra)

The Lord's Prayer on
repeat
repeat
repeating in my head.
Ricocheting
through my skull as
on my knees I
worship
My Savior.
My Sin.

Funny that Christians shun this sort of sinnful act, and Pagans worship this type of behavior. I like how you express that your virginity is a sacrifice for this love, very well expressed. Very well done.
