Drew Barrymore: My Bronze-Serpent Valentine! Cha-Chiiing!

----------------[Drew Barrymore: My Bronze Valentine ; Israel Griping In the Wilderness]
Drew forgive me,
I was wrong to grouse about you, saying
of your kindness "there is no food," and your company
"there is no water" and again that your affections
my "soul loathes" like "worthless bread"
in my current state of singleness I have contracted slight
delirium
loneliness has been my perpetual wasteland, vast and widespread
(and time consuming – as the years blow sand in my face;
and remorse like scorpion's fangs threaten every step)
dejection traced as far back as my last girlfriend (Egypt)
who spurned me and denigrated my self-esteem
her words like whips and cords, her eyes like
a slave master – scars and scabs yet to heal
and the collective emotional weight of it all
has made me disagreeable
I can only pray for your mercy....
that your love would purify me of my indiscretions
my ungratefulness
because your indignation feels like snake bites
lethal to my heart, I can barely breathe at night
gasping for air, my limbs stiff and vomiting
in need of another chance
baby, would you be to me redemption lifted high
treasured like bronze?
your kiss could be like a serpent on a pole
subverting your wrath
restoring my senses
(Please....????)
[Im so sorry for offending you Drew! I love you! Will you be my Valentine???]
-------------------Numbers 21:4-9
Then they journeyed from Mount Hor by the Way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became very discouraged on the way. And the people spoke against God and against Moses: "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread." So the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many of the people of Israel died. Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, "We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD and against you; pray to the LORD that He take away the serpents from us." So Moses prayed for the people. Then the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live." So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.
