We sit peacefully
on the edge
of this hotel bed.
Mixed feelings swirl
like a windmill
in my head.
You sigh
at the gradual dawning
of the light.
I too
have many revelations
from last night.
My destiny,
up to this moment,
was in the arms of the Lord.
Is it a weakness
that my vows
have been ignored?
As lovers
we've become
the subject of sin.
Yet I crossed over
this threshold
and the line was thin.
You still squeeze
my hand
and with a tangible voice
offer this man of piety
a new found
choice.
They say a priest
shouldn't defy
a carnal taboo.
Although I have struggled
during the time
I've spent with you
and to think
I had once
looked high above
I am now answering
to the call
of another love.
