Sacred Necklace

Sacred Necklace

Shining Necklace

Draping upon your nape

A symbol of the sacred, 

Perfect compliment 

To the sin

Your so found of 

Openly living in-

Ringing Necklace

Clanging on the collar bone

You attempt to bring something

Larger than the Sky

Into a silvery chain and locket,

Wether its the medallion of an Arab,

The cross of a Christian,

         

The crystal of the Metaphysician,

     

Or,

The pentagram of Satan-

Such twinkling trinkets

Are there for those 

Who seek in shiny metals and elements

The mystery of the ages-

    

Some display it on their frame for all to notice,

   

Others keep it tucked in secret;

    

And still for others,

    

Too proud too admit

   

That it wears on them,

    

Like a noose about the neck-

       

      

But for me,

   

Looking up, 

From underneath

The gyrating body

I,

        

Like so many

Am seeking to find 

The semblance of security

In the haunting mystery...

   

        

And the veil  becomes thinner

        

Between us and the Other

Beholding

The Sacred Necklace

Shining against 

The Beautiful length

        

Of your slender neck-
