✝Torn✝

A daunting truth embedded so deeply
For turn of events I invocate with all earnest.
Recalling all that’s of you who were so true
Where streams of memories begin to flood in.

Entrapped in web of unending quandaries
No longer sure of how much more I can hold.
Yet no longer do I want to this way
Hoping to dispense everything that’s within.

With the natural fall of your delicate caress
So mesmerize I was losing myself in this illusion.
Snuggling into the warmth of your embrace
All qualms that lie ahead seem to fade away.

By transitory semblance of the authenticity
My heart pains upon your falsifiability.
In such a propinquity of time
Onset of fear consumes me from inside out.

Yet by the certitude of the very existence
So uncontainable my heart burst into gladness.
With all my heart I yearn to lavish upon
When I know you will seek for me.

✝Chrono✝

It’s not the nights I have to bear
It’s not the days I have to serve
By time I wait while I am lost
It’s the weight of sin I bore.

The ones I love but fail to care
By time I know I’m in a loss
Upon my heart are these seals
That’s trapped within a hardened shell.

Hiding a shame I’ll never tell
But enter this shell, a grain of sand
Layered coatings of lessons learned
Reflections of guilt so crystal-clear.

A new found grace polished with love
Radiating within such patience avows
Smeared by ink of the past
A beautiful pearl as black as sin.

In fear of lightning and thunder
A promise of rain follows next
For every loss, a hidden gain
Faith and promise: remedies of pain.

So to my Lord I sincerely repent
To all my love I’ll make amends
With all I am laying at your feet
All my iniquities my faults.
