Sister Mary's Necklace


Sister  Mary's necklace 
I have been caught by her beautiful beauty 
Like a fish in the neck 
My heart becomes a mortar and her eyes 
A pistol whenever I gaze around her neck. 
Sister Mary's necklace 
Whose ornament of trinket captured my timid eyes
Causing my lips to make soundless sighs of grasping twice
Whose ornament rolls in a valley subdued between two mountains 
Or perhaps towers of grace
Forgive me father, for I put too much 
Words on
Maybe I read too much of the songs of Solomon
Only heavens knows the treasures that lies in the
secret Place beneath her habit
Her  smikes I love, plus your caring habit
Your gentle gaze caused my mind to race 
Into an unknown land I can not trace 
Causing hands movement into the darkest of places
Even in the presence of solemn praises 
Oh sister Mary, how can I describe your tender embrace? 
Warmer than a cathigan made with fur
But too rapid like the space in between my pace
Your celestical dove on the chest I first admire 
When I was four and  all  I remember was that 
My heart became dim and somehow blur
It caused my the meshing of our souls in circles
Sister Mary 
Who makes me scream "holy Mary mother of our savior" 
For the thought of her savors my tender sins
 For her body I see, even I my dreams 
For  here I am at the confessional, 
Forgive me father  for it has been years since my last confession
