the beloved’s secret

 

“Stay me with flagons…for I am sick of love.”

Canticles 2.5

my beloved

 

please tell me your secret

 

what is this poison you are pouring

this essence of love in my golden chalice

adulterating mere wine with immortality

 

i am poisoned with divine love

 

your sweet nectar courses through

my veins and makes my blood run fierce

clouding my vision, sickening my mind

intoxicating my too chaste heart

and i cannot find a cure for it

 

i am dying.... i am dying.... i am dying

 

please kill me again kill me please

but before you do, i implore, i beseech

i beg you tell me your secret

 

i want to spill the secret in my chalice

into the mortal vessel of the universe

corrupt its too pure waters with liquor

 

I want all creatures to be drunk together

again and over again, over again and again

one last time, together, one last time

 

together, you and i, beloved

we will poison creation with divine love

after you tell me your secret

 

my beloved

 

left me drink my golden cup

to the lees and then let me

die, so dying, die
