Desire For Fire/The Sacrifice/Eyes Of Soft Desire Poem by Ben Gieske

trade your desire for fire
a journey with your daughter
pepper your love with laughter
rest your eyes at home

The Sacrifice

blood and water bled
choice cup for sacrifice
redemption’s nail-scarred hands
price of Son living love
justice and delicious mercy
Your Laughing Eyes of Desire

Eyes of Soft Desire

across the smokey menu
blisters a note of fire
smiles puff their way
into your laughing eyes
of soft desire
