Puppy Love

As I knelt in prayer
Your presence
Drew my attention
From the tabernacle.

Your small auburn head
Beneath a silk scarf
Became my focus.

At communion I followed
Your walk feeling a pull
Within my breast.

And as you returned
To the pew I drank
Your beauty,
Your innocence,
Your presence.

Oh! I wonder where you are
Now- you who attracted me
From my devotion.
