  • Serenity is all I seek

    Serenity is all I seek
    Amidst this turbulence of desire;
    Mediocre though my thoughts may be
    Introspection does set the mind afire.
    “Keep Faith”, you say aplomb, yet
    Shameless, I renounce the world entire,
    Hoping, rejected by Heaven and You alike,
    Your memory would assuage Hell’s Purgatory Pyre.
    Apprehension ails me still, forever a
    Memento of Recollection’s Murderous Mire,
    Expectations bore through the linen still, that
    Hallows the aura of my Angel’s Attire.
    Eventuality forever scares me; now
    Ruthless Reminiscence only does it ever Inspire.
