Anointed at Bethany

The room it is crowded,
the whole world is there.
She kneels down before him,
they all look and stare.
Barefoot and nervous,
hands loosen their grip.
The bottle tips forward,
so now this is it..


And Chanel no 5
drips down by your side.
The jar smashed and broken,
all around cries.
‘Girl are you crazy,
a foolish mistake!
A waste, are you stupid,
wrong choices you take.’


But you wink back at me,
this upside down peace.
Lord I am before you
and down on my knees.
My friends, yes my loved ones

may stand there arms crossed.
But this is all gain,
not one thing have I lost.
