Saint Augustine wrote, “Like a bridegroom, Christ went forth from his chamber… He came to the marriage-bed of the cross, and there in mounting it, he consummated his marriage. And when he perceived the sighs of the creature, he lovingly gave himself up to the torment in place of his bride, and joined himself to [her] forever.”

"yogi"

I have accepted my leave from this wordliness.
So much not lost and so much not gained -
still illusions do rounds on tempting my grounds.

Oh, Here it comes now,
another life as a particle of lust -
an orgasm of truth and beauty all around.

Oh, Goodness,
fuck me, fuck me hard,
thine is the kingdom
and thine is the cunt!

And he went to the cross like a bridegroom to the bride.
