clad only in the sins of my past
remnants of the devil's lambaste
and you turned away not
you have tasted the dark green bile
spit from the belly of my severed soul
splotches of satan's soiree
and it reviled you not
you have borne witness to the atrocities
acted against the innocents by my dark twin
leaving the pieces to be buried again
and it frightened you not
you have felt the screams of my victims
wrenched from the hollow of my own heart
slivers of silent offenses
and you shrank back not
and he
he would forgive me
and love me still
but he would know me not
but you
you would see no need to forgive
and would love me still
you would love me then
in all my sins
you would know me now
even then
..

You are a great lover
greetings, dear rainer - how wonderful to have you drop by and leave such kind words - i hope all is well with you there in your land of magnificent women!
oh, i meant to add, rainer, how much i love tampieri's work and this particular piece strikes such a chord with me - i am totally smitten with it - could write a book around just this painting! anyway, just a little afterthought - have a great day -
