Anarchistbanjo's World

Confession

I want to fathom all desires,
As deeply as my thirst is able;
I want to create from them
An entire world, and die in them.
I want it with all the rage of the Creator,
That longs and burns within us;
I don’t want to subdue my passion’s
Hot, hungry element.
Do I become powerful through pious lips;
Baptized through tame kisses?
I was conceived in a wild night,
And a great frenzy of passion!
And now I want to live the same
As the desires that created me.
Walk only through the heaven
That surrounds me. Their
Devotee by occupation.

-Richard Dehmal
