Poetry Corner for the week of 7/16/12: Part Two

Transgressions

Whatever dishonor
You will place on my home
Just stop talking, my love
And do your worst

For I will
Defile myself
Transgress my nature
If I would deny you

When cleansing fires
Of hell burn me
Clean to ash
I will float to heaven

In mock tribute of
The self-righteous
Or to touch
Your rising clouds of brimstone

Gordon Stamper, Jr.
