Burnt Offerings Poem by John Tansey

Burnt Offerings

Rating: 4.5


My love has no edges

it is like a great ripe fruit,


both, sustaining and life giving


Your love is a sword

its' hilt as a cross


both, protective but life taking.


As it cuts me in half

sucking the juice I provide


in willing sacrifice to sustain you
