I worship her body—it’s a temple under my knowing gaze—
an altar beneath my wagging tongue—a god to my meager self.
I sing my praises in-between her thighs—her moans my echo.
Confessional happens at night behind closed doors.
It’s heaven, being alone with her. The way she arches
her body to me is better than any scripture.
Her soft gasps and needy cries of my name are better
than any angelic choir promised during Mass.
Seeing her face as she comes to her climax, is
more beautiful than the face of God himself.
Basking in the afterglow with her is sweeter
than any religion—any promise of eternal life.
She is my religion—my promise for eternal life.

Author's Notes: I rediscovered my 1980's poetry magnets box and in it were two poems I find compelling. I recall having challenged myself to create two poems using the same set of words. These two poem are what spilled out. Which one resonates more with you, version A or B? Leave it in Comments. I'd love to know your thoughts!
