This piece was inspired by the Depeche Mode song, "Surrender"
Devotional
An infidel, kneeling in prayer,
to the only deity he's sure is there,
doomed to be a burnt offering
to passion's goddess,
a sacrifice in your holy bed,
prepared to be broken,
my world reshaped in your hallowed name,
wholly surrendered to your flame.
Burn me,
consume me,
with tenderness
subsume me,
grant release through ecstasy's grace,
and stamp your visage in God's place,
through the faithless door then send me,
to a cruel world bent to end me,
my fate writ like a lottery token.
My heart,
my soul,
they are your tokens
of my devotion.
