The Madness of Need

I.
His hands warm against my body—
Stoking forgiveness from deep within.
He holds me close—
Madness of need
rising to the surface.
Thirsting.
Hungering.
Feed me.

II.
I am washed in my devotion to You.
Simmering—this love,
a continuum.
Never do You thrift my heart—
You fill it to the brim.

III.
My tongue,
Your darting scribe.
Longing to prayer You.
Exposed in pondering—
a livewire chaos,
fringed in every direction
for You.

Every past wound—
and the sword I keep near them—
are but pinpricks
compared to how You ruin me,
and fill me Yours.
