BBC Sherlock: Poetry: Breathpray

  • Feb. 19th, 2016 at 8:48 PM

Title: Breathpray

Fandom: BBC Sherlock

Rating: Teen

Length: 60

Content notes: Three linked Jue Ju; written with Sherlock/John in mind but no direct references

Warnings: Breathplay and heavy (and blasphemous!) use of Christian terms and imagery.


Waxen candles, blessing of Blaise
Head unbowed, the supplicant prays
Pressing, ‘rresting, finger and thumb
Din, infernal tumult, chaos undone.

Murmured, “Danger, thine becomes mine.”
Benediction. Words that doth bind.
Voiceless reply begs for release.
Grip denies, the devilish beast!

Shadows fall. The curtain descends.
Penitent and priest say “Amen.”
Call and answer. Mysteries sigh.
Holding, folding, breathless borne prize.

The subject matter may not be my sort of thing - but I have to say that I think you're a natural poet. The third jueju is especially impressive - and your choice of title too.

Aw. Thank you. I'm pleased that you even read it. I find practicing working with the meter a nice brain exercise.
