These Sins

Free Verse Poem — A Life of No Redemption

Image by Enrique Meseguer from Pixabay

I line up sins examine their labels give up my attachment to pleasure, ambition. Signs: A Progress of the Soul, Summer Solstice, Poem 3, Signs ~Margaret Gibson

My sins are lined up like paper dolls they have no feet — they cannot run and with no mouths, they cannot plead

Sins always come back to haunt me — I’ve been living with a hundred ghosts Tortured and tormented every night How I long for deliverance To bathe away these sins, to wash myself clean To give up all attachments and start over again But there is no grace for me No settling of my immoral deeds This is my purgatory — a lifetime in the making
