I want to Eat Your Words

 

I have read your emails and comments about hearing more of my poetic flow, so I wanted to post something special today.  I wanted to start off by telling you about the book I read more than any other book in my collection.  My Bible.  This book has drama, scandal, intrigue, pearls of wisdom and is the  quintessential manual for living the right way.  I try to follow this amazing guide to living and do everything the bible says. I really try, but I have to be real and tell you that sometimes I fail. Yes, sometimes I fail.

Miserably.

But that doesn't stop me from trying.

I love God and I love his words. The Poem I am about to share with you is about this book having words so powerful that it is like a good meal.  The words are so good...that I want to eat them. 

And now here is my poetic flow:

I want to Eat Your Words

I want to eat your words

Let them stimulate my taste buds

And wake up with the flavor on my tongue

I want to eat your words

And let them simmer in

The oven of my spirit

Then breathe the aroma on my enemies

I want to eat your words

Till they taste like

Peach cobbler and ice cream

Served by the Virgin Mary in the sanctuary

I want to eat your words and watch my spirit rise

Like bread

Till your scent runs around the corner

And folks line up just for a taste

I want to eat your words like

They were the last entree

In the buffet line

I want to eat your words

Digest them in my soul

And defecate the remains on

My enemies

I want to swallow your words whole

Then regurgitate

Psalms, proverbs and parables

I want to eat your words

And then lick my fingers

To get the last drop of anointing from my plate

I want to eat your words till they blend

With my own

To form rhythms and sounds

Laced with holy spirits, cherubs and the ethereal music of my soul

I want to eat your words

To lift me up above my trouble and

End my weariness

I want to eat your words

Until I am full

 Eat

Savor

Digest
