Baptize

Baptize me

With the words that flow

From your mouth

Into mine

Like the water that lay

Pooled in my eyes

Arms crossed across chest

Back held, head cradled

Awaiting the cool plunge

Yet lo, the waters of Avalon

They have a different taste

A sweetness of the Goddess

That refuses to sing of the wars

Of Man

Instead enshrouding the mysteries

Of Her

Blessed man who stands on the shore

Summonsing the barge

Your words are heard

The sweetness of your voice

Saying Her name

Baptize me

In the pool of your heart

Your voice is heard

And the barge appears

Hello Christopher, Thank you so much for the deep well you offer to the world. I am curious about a couple things… one, any idea whan to expect your book? And two, there was an invite last month to join a writing group by replying sex ed to one of your posts, curious if it is still an option to join?

Wow. I just left a comment on your other poem, but this takes my heart. As if my soul mate didn’t have it from the moment I recognized him. But yeah, baptized. All of the above. You are the definition of love in the way that you write. Wow.
