A Gnostic Riddle

In my eye the kingdom zooms in

and zooms out

I breathe in the essence of being

I breathe out its untying of knots

I swallow a padlock

but my gut instinct has the key

Come and drink from my tongue

and I shall share the code with you

So that you might liberate your soul too

You think just because we can't see your chains

that we can't hear their clunk

But I have peered in through your window

and there you are

gagged by the strong man

squatting in your house

If you want to let the guest in

You're gunna have to kiss me

The last line left me smiling. 

If you want to let the guest in
You're gunna have to kiss me

I had never heard of, Gnosticism before reading your poem. I'm intrigued.

I don't treat it as Divine Scripture, but I am a fan of The Gospel of Phillip. My copy is well worn with multicouloured notes in the margins. Lol
