Mary's Lament | A Poem About God

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.


An alternative story of Jesus and Mary Magdalene| From the series “A Poem About God” by the Cyprus poet Chris Zachariou
Love's Sacred Gaze

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.
