Merit for November 2021
Lustration
Shapely blue limbs,
Flash from under robes of white
She attends to the Holy Supernals,
And I attend to wholly Her
The sway of Her hips,
The curvature of Her waist
A full, generous bosom,
Under cloud cover of Celestia
With the whisper of a smile,
She offers me benediction
This is my call to worship,
And I go to my knees willingly
A heretic, an infidel,
I submit to Her inquisition,
Still, stripped bare,
I pray for merciful judgement
Meridian, help me
Remove thy splinter from my heart
Or just let me drown,
With the Sacrament on my tongue
--
Ablution
Don't look, I tell myself,
As I find myself, looking
An innocent flirtation, a conspiratorial glance,
Are sometimes enough, but sometimes not
How can I not stray from the straight path,
When priestesses have such curves?
With a swish of her skirt,
The deva beckons
The same familiar thirst,
But still new each time
The quicksilver thrill of pursuit,
Dim in the afterglow of victory
Lacking sustenance,
Man cannot live on conquest alone,
The dawn comes, and I go
Not looking
Old Celest fell, and yet
We try again
