New Religion

Her name is a small prayer
on my tongue
a blessing that echoes across
the steep and timbre of my voice,
that moves across the pale
highway of her skin
as I kiss her.

As I kiss her my senses
are flooded
a new religion takes root in me
her eyes and scent and voice
become the temple of my worship,
the center of my sin
I offer up my one small
prayer for absolution,
her name;
a sacrament
my promise, my vow
forever.
