Harlot's Prayer

Who can say I am not full?
Overflowing at the brim of indulgence

Drunk with delicate pleasures
Yet my heart's issue bleeds...

Each night inset one upon another,
With the scent of incense growing stronger
As we shared this strange love
Salacious desires entwined in scarlet

Weighed according to each adornment
Still, I am found in want

Hiding behind the gold and wine
But you saw through my emptied heart

Each night inset one upon another,
With the scent of incense growing thicker
As we shared this strange love
Salacious desires entwined in scarlet

They call me by a name not my own
So take this body
A fading work of art...beauty cannot last
So do not let go

Each night inset one upon another,
With the scent of incense growing thicker
As we shared this strange love
Salacious desires entwined in scarlet

I gave this body with oaths and silver
Now I give my soul with hope

A moonless night offers promise
So sanctify me

Very Nice! And Bible inspired too... I know that there is a set of verses somewhere that actually depict this scene, but I don't know where off the top of my head.

Thank you for posting/writing this. It is such a down to heart piece.
