Bride Of God
City of Ore
Ophir in your heart
How I have yearned for this day
To call forth your soul to dance into the light
Your fragrant petals open to life
Come with me into my chamber
Let me breathe over you
Recline beneath my tender kisses
I am your only husband
I have bought you back
No more to be sold for your shame
Never to be invaded again
It was never my plan for you
Those I entrusted with your youth raped you
They sold you to the devourer
You have been captive
Chained by no fault of your own
But I have searched you out
But now I call you Sought After
City No Longer Deserted
I have taken you
I have made you my own
Stephen Pursell, 7/08/02,
from The Bridegroom's heart,
for Oroville, CA, USA
Harlot with a heart of gold
My Mary of Magdala
Let me intoxicate you
Ever have I known you
For my love is like wine
Come feast of me
I have spread a banquet for you
Unashamed that I have brought you home
I have longed to make you my bride
I have cried your name from the rooftops
I have run through your streets
