A Very Gay Bible Poem
A gay love poem where all 52 lines reference — and link to — Bible verse(s).
They say we’re wicked, but we’re divine
I’m the branches, but she’s my vine
Some holy jezebel felines
Seeing stones and sand-drawn lines
Calling our crowns of beauty thorns
But I’ve risen from ashes of mourn
The old has gone, I’m newly born
And I won’t stop ’til their veils are torn
They said love covers a multitude of sins
But this is not, it’s new wineskins
A new thing Spirit’s wind will begin
Have ears to hear all love’s a win
Since all good comes from God
That includes what they call flaws
My yes is yes unlike their fraud
Judge the tree’s fruit façade
Because Spirit guides into all truth
And She groans and gnashes her tooth
At those despised in their youth
The crucified Naomi’s and Ruth’s
She says for such a time as this
There’s freedom in rainbow bliss
The law brings death that we can miss
If the Church repents of it’s shit
Stop tying millstones on necks galore
Smacking faces with Kingdom doors
Big yokes on backs they pour
Making heavy burdens all the more
’Cause the last will be first
The weak and strong will be reversed
The foolish reveal the wise’s curse
Of calling good evil and love perverse
But love is patient and love is kind
She’s my promised land of pride
Milk and honey kisses on my mind
Temples of living water intertwined
Lakes that deer's long and pant for
Her still waters my soul is led toward
Oil of gladness of my head poured
My clay her soft potter hands explore
She’s my gift of incense and myrrh
Manna from the sky to my floor
Ask, seek, knock on Heaven’s door
We can sing a joyful song and more
That’s why neither depth nor even height
Can separate me from her light
A lamp no basket can ever fight
Salt no roaring lion can ever bite
’Cause I’m a freed captive without chains
I laugh without fear of their future pain
We’re scattering seeds like the rain
Rolling rivers of liberation the only aim
