the temple

dressed as freely as i came
adorned with nothing, the mirror reflecting beauty and strength
a sacred temple is what i am
a little bit of honey, chocolate, milk, lightning and scars
treating me otherwise is pure ignorance
so with trembling knees and bowed head, you will worship in spirit and in truth.

I think a Lot of people are inspired in the bath room but just won't admit it lol. Welcome to neopoet. If you have any problems such as navigating the site just ask me or any other member.....stan

And has good inner logic. It's short enough to read over several times, so here's a few comments:
putting chocolate so close to milk makes it sound too much like "chocolate-milk", i would try to put it a different way. Also the length of the last line...i think it should be broken into 2 lines.

I think you have a serious theme here, the body as the temple, including its "lightening and scars" (very strong line). Thanks for your poem.
