new religion 

I heard you on a corner
curiosity got the best of me
I had nothing to lose

I watched you on a podium 
invoking dark-colored dreams  
under an awning under the rain  

the sounds of your soft, raging voices   
the premonitions you thunder for a crowd of one, me

that god has sent an angel 
in the creature perfect you about saving me  
& yes, I’m here to receive

preaching what I can be if I let you touch me  
a raving mad woman, you are 

predicting uninvited twists  
preaching patience  
chanting verses  
affirming low-cost heavens  
soon for this older man growing in me  
yes, I’m listening
 
& I’m captivated by the burnings of your humming words
the simmerings of your beautiful cheeks  
& I hold my head humbled  in amazement  
yes, I concur 

what is pride if it is not desecrated & purified by you  
what is heaven & hell without punishments & rewards?
Balanced to the tune of your hummings  
if not judged by you?

knocking on Heaven’s Doors is a favorite highway anthem 
for the wandering me  
in my infidel dreams, coming back to you with a vow-laced smile  
yes, I’m feeling it

my extreme games naive to you  
my inner self is still in a cocooning mood  
butterflies curling in me, a consenting servant  
devoting me to you a gift of life, wanting to say  
if you have a new religion
you have a believer, my beloved

the callings of your faith still rings in my head
like the first time, I saw your glowing face
I'll be waiting for your second coming
to show you
that if you have a new religion
I'm a believer
