To my Divine Lover

one-stanza message to the One nailed on the cross

Come, Lover, down that shameful tree

With your bruised and bloody arms, hug me

Drown me in your sweetest embrace

Let me, like Veronica, wash your beautiful face.

Author's Note

I'm still thinking of adding a few stanzas. :x

I like it, you have a good start, I'd keep going. 'The lover of your soul' is certainly the inspiration for countless poems. Very beautiful as it stands now, but you could perhaps think of the other stations of the cross as inspiration for other stanzas. I've always loved the legend of Veronica and the Mandylion.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Yes, I will try that. I'm busy these days I can't sit down and write. Thanks for this, Eddie. I appreciate this very much. :x

[Mae Taylor]

Your blue butterfly?? No what does a blue butterfly have to do with shallimarRose?

Butterflies are attracted to flowers, right? :)
