My Lady, It's The Taking Poem by Michelangelo Buonarroti

My Lady, It's The Taking

Rating: 5.0


My lady, it's the taking
away that gives the marble grace
and bares the figure's face
to grow beneath the flaking.
And like the figure I'm encased:
so hard the rough excess
of carnal appetite,
which closes me from light,
that straining is no use.
But lady you can carve distress
away and sculpt me loose.
