The Door Flew Open

Her name is Bitter...
as was the deep-seeded pain
she buried in her heart

so firmly rooted within her spirit
none could tell she carried such a cross

She was
too important to be transparent
too broken to be alone
with that part of her that no on knows

except me

Her flunky, her understudy
her hand maiden, her fool
her cohort, her sounding board,
her puppet, her tool

I was spell bound.

Keeping her idiosyncrasies fully clothed
with false kindness
as I greeted the unsuspecting
in the gate of the holy place

Yet her exterior appeared to epitomize
what a woman of God should be
As far as man’s ideology reflects holiness
she was the shit

casting her spell on so many unaware
of the sores festering in her soul
but I knew, and still know
although

my lips were sealed
with tales never to be revealed
until
she peeled them apart
with her kiss

And the door flew open
nearly drowning me with emotion
and passion unrestrained
as she became
my...first...lady

introducing me
to the softer side of sensuality
while simultaneously
raping me
of my faith.
