Purgatory

A free verse poem

Photo by Mohamed Nohassi on Unsplash

I cannot deny the truth, Succumbing to these fleshly desires, Easy and seamless like breathing, I seek penance to appease my conscience, A poker may jolt them out, Water and fire may wash away my sins, I cannot expunge them, The within, the nucleus, Roots of black deeds remain entrenched, I seek exorcism, To purge the darkness in me, To stand pure in the eyes of my Maker
