Jereboam: (Holding Taylor Swift's Hands)

-------------/Jereboam: (Holding Taylor Swift's Hands)


Taylor,
I am pure evil (without you)
sanctimoniously burning incense of indiscriminate affections
given
to other women who do not want me
on the hallowed, magnificent and acclaimed grand altar
of holy matrimony and earnest desires for requited romance
in the temple of couples’ destiny
sanctioning unconsecrated priests of selfishness
lust, chauvinism and inconsideration to join me in my barbarous
pedagogy deceiving them
into believing that there is truth and there is goodness and
satisfaction, and sweetness outside the domain of your arms
....outside the gates of Judah
that there is euphoria without the kiss of your lips
that there is bliss absent from your touch
(the blasphemy that another woman could even come close
to matching your splendor)
and we both know for this
I am empty inside that my heart is a disconsolate and
desolate mess. Taylor, baby, for these atrocities I have committed
the bones of those priests should be torched with raging flames
of remorse and vindication
a horrifying reminder of a world bereft of you
while the ashes of my asinine aspirations are poured out
hours upon hours of devotion spilled on the floor
the now desecrated altar I cherished rent in two
and the realization of my worst fear come to pass:
that when I reach out to hold you and ask for forgiveness
that my hand dries up, so that I can not pull it in again

I am so sorry, Taylor...please I intreat you
grant me your soft, gentle doting clemency
and let me be dazzled once again
by your hair, your amazing eyes and soothing
lilting voice
I promise never again to look for a soulmate
bypassing you and devoting time to other women
if you restore my ability to caress you again


(forever your husband)



----------1 Kings 13:1-6
And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee. And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out. And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him. The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD. And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.
