Wench

        I sell my soul into slavery crushing beneath the weight of a giant cross -- my temples bleed my heart pierced with thorns my mind possessed of thoughts earthy and sensual Drink from my milky thighs burn out my eyes so that I never lose your image my hand bound my body heavy with child my person shackled into the holy bonds of matrimony Death and bitter wine of dandelion the circle of the serpent squeezing the life from me My legs crushed my spine unbending and strong my image pure as all that is good comes upon me Strange ideas socialize over tea a patchwork quilt of beliefs to cover our naked bodies my emotions overwhelming my commitment true of all that I am

Additional Notes:
This poem sort of travels, but I've always been partial to it. Though, Jay, if you are reading this--- I wrote this WAY before I met you and it has nothing to do with our wedding plans :>
