      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Holy Emotions - Vincent de Paul

      What a sad mistake you made

      Life forever torn, never to be mend,

      Chided the voice in him;

      His sermon trailed

      For the umpteenth time

      When he looked her way

      Marvelous beauty in the nave

      Truly God’s handiwork.

      Just watching him preach

      Made her want to reach,

      and touch him—yes, touch—

      Something he was never going to allow;

      She stared at him,

      She oblivious to him,

      the preacher she wanted, the preacher

      She had fallen in love with.

      Her Madonna face, dazzling eyes

      Pouty lips, chubby cheeks

      she’s beauty itself—Venus

      From the pulpit the preacher saw

      Wished he had never taken the vow

      such crave wouldn’t be raw

      Denied to him by vocation.

      Man of such grace, and vitality

      She thought from the nave,

      I am sitting here

      Yet I want to be over there

      Wish I had seen him long ago

      I wouldn’t be feeling this way:

      She blushed, ashamed of herself.

      I’m Sam, as in Samson. Pleasure… he said.

      The service was over,

      She couldn’t believe it , yet she said

      I’m Sonia, nice to meet you.

      The man of God, the angel,

      invited her to the vicarage, and

      Sam was of Sonia—SamSoni.

      Original Sin

      The cool linen sheets caressed her cheeks

      and she smelt him and the aphrodisiac

      the red wine he had drank her with

      The acridity of his masculinity;

      She stretched her hand for him, he was gone

      The memories of it failed

      Except for the all-too familiar voice

      The voice of her little black heart

      Echoing and reverberating inside,

      The devil is beautiful...

      She felt a soaring sense of victory, riotous appetite

      For the sweet fruit of Eden;

      Her ever clean white sheets were stained

      The stain of shame

      The stain of sin

      The stain of the beautiful devil;

      It was the trace of her maturity

      Trace of sinfulness

      Trace of her broken virginity.

      The Call

      Slowly I scanned the congregation

      the aura was of medieval sanction

      I saw this statuesque face

      a replica of the Madonna

      God’s
