Sacrifice
As I lay here against the cold stone
I feel the warmth of the summer night
against my bare skin,
The stars and the Moon shine above me like
diamonds of a celestial pattern
I feel a great pain, a sharp thrust
like nothing I have felt before
As this pain sharpens, I look up and
notice a man before me
looking down with lustful yearnings.
A creature I have never seen before.
In a dark open robe, chanting in a low voice
built perfect in every way,
This God, with hair as dark as the
ebony wood of the forest,
Bronze skin kissed by Sun
Blue eyes, deep as the ocean
and just as cold.
The feeling consumes me
the pain overwhelms me
and turns into a deep-centered pleasure
The thrust continues,
harder, deeper
I close my eyes and lose myself in ecstasy
My body pulsates as it has never before,
I give in to its control.
A fire within burns from within
more brighter as it consumes me
I begin to move with the rhythm
as sparks seem to ignite.
A ritual dance between bodies
soaked in the sweat of the mating.
And as I cry out, I look at the God before
I see the glisten of blade
as its plunged deep within my heart!
Silence fills the night,
the chanting is no more
the warmth is replaced by
the coldness of death
as the red flows down
against the slate of the altar
my eyes stare open wide
into the night sky,
My heart stops beating
for I was......
The Sacrifice.
