Why not? - a poem by Chris Zachariou

loneliness
loss
Friends?
No.

Why not?

I still love you.

Mary's lament - a poem by Chris Zachariou

My love for The Son of Man and Christianity as a way of life is infinite, however, I find it impossible to believe in a metaphysical world.

This poem is my own personal view of God, Jesus, and Mary Magdalene. Please do not continue reading if you are easily offended or intolerant of other peoples' views.

This poem is largely inspired by the novel 'The Last Temptation of Christ' by Nikos Kazantzakis.


The struggle of Mary Magdalene
Mary Magdalene
You knock on my door,
and bleating like a lamb, you
call me sister.
Fall into my bed, blow out
the red lamb, and save my flesh.
My soul will not be far behind.

The struggle of Mary Magdalene
Mary Magdalene
The softness of the girl
the hardness of the boy.

We kissed—
a touch, a sigh, a whisper
and my fate was sealed.
