Man God

Her tall angular frame
Hid hips soft with desire
agonized she trembled
Her parting lips betrayed her

She shook from radiant tip to toes
screaming,
Her networking nerves
Segued
A crescendo of redeeming.

Light was the night
A brilliant sparkling delight
the Rubicon revealed
The Madonna unveiled.

Soft lashes sighed relief
dark eyes were dawning
Brimming with flowers
What a song in her moaning.

Her moon petrified
Froze she in that moment of Joy
Then came Spring
The thawing of senses
Motherhood invoked,
The clandestine birth of
A hallowed boy.

The raw reprisal
The Way of the Rood
Foretold in cradle
But the world
Misunderstood.

Whatever's immaculate
Isn't in conception
Oh Hallowed one
why such
manmade deception?

Born of woman
Son of Man
God given grace
Forgiving us all
His Grace become.
