“Holy Grail” © 2022 Rebecca R. Pierce
Bring to me your holy grail
That I may dip my lips
Into a brew both strong yet frail.
Pulse against my hungry sips.
I want your heart between my teeth.
Love is a feral beast to be beneath.
Shake me for what fruit you will.
Between the undulations of yours and mine
We’ll make such sweet and heady wine
And every empty chalice fill.
The nectar spills in overflowing bliss
Until everything is distilled down to this:
What truths may come, what truths may go,
In this moment, I hold only you.
You are the one I wish to know,
And no other drink will do.
