The Seventh Day
part iv
Nothing completes me
Like when he’s
Two fingers deep.
I can feel him
In every cell of my skin
In every exhale
In every hair standing on end.
His eyes are controlled.
He knows what he’s seeing.
He curls them
Perfectly
And makes my breast bone
Rise to the heavens.
How blessed to have
An apostle
Kneeling between my thighs.
Nothing fills me,
Like he does
When I make him
Pray to god
For a testimony
Of release
And euphoria.
I reach into him
And pull out the sacred texts
That put the Bible to shame
For what could be as holy
As a man finding himself again.
I swallow his communion,
And know why church ceilings
Are so magnificent-
Looking up at him
Seeing his eyes closed in prayer,
His jaw alone
Better than the architecture
Of the highest chapel-
Looking up at him
Is a better sight
Than the creation of Adam.
For the man created
From scratch before me
Will always move me
More than a tale
Of a man in a garden.
He holds me
Like the transcripts
They pulled from the sea,
Except he believes in me,
And I will never put faith
In a God,
As long as this man
Pulls my essence
From my very core.
He puts the angels to shame
For how bright is a halo,
When his smile surely
Is the greatest gift from god?
There is no body
Better crafted than his.
I could stare at him longer than historians did David.
His lines shift and move under my hands,
Grip tight in my hair
As I hold his thighs to the bed
And push star light into him.
This truly must be
How God felt creating man.
