Adulterers’ Hymn

I wish that you could love, as I.
I wish that you could feel,
How love’s akin to endless sky
That needs no paper seal.

I pray the god’s may turn from this
Intoxicating light
That blinds their minds to mortal bliss
Religious fervours bright

The laws of man and those of god,
Should seek to yet entwine.
What’s Gods’, be Gods’ but let them not
Take all that’s clearly mine.

I cannot fight this ether mass,
I cannot break down walls!
Built stout with tumbling hourglass;
Years wide and aeons tall.

I hope that fire will one day sear
Your glacier bastioned heart
And melt a cleft, that it may clear
A route for cupids’ dart

And then the Gods can go and play
With other lovers’ lives
And I will stand on judgement day
And suffer sinners’ knives
