  • Shamefully aware of your accusations

    Shamefully aware of your accusations,
    Arrested in time, I bid my head to bow.
    Meeting your eye is a labour so large that
    Infinity itself will stand ashamed, as I do now.
    Kafkaesque, is how I have become, with
    Shadows shadowing me through my dreams,
    Haunting me with my own guilt and draining
    Youthful lustre as blood, amidst my screams.
    Atonement I seek: only a chance to chance upon you,
    Melting in your solar warmth as once I was wont to.
    Ebullience I seek again: freedom to laugh and cry with you.
    Heavenly Heavens! Deliver me from this cruel fate of doom
    Ere it consumes me whole, leaving a ghost who walks,
    Reminding the world of sinners of their imminent gloom.
