My mind’s full thoughts
My heart’s is full of emotions
Life is lived by what the hand wrought
Whilst my soul flows in a series of subtle motions
Is good inspiration from the soul?
Or is it the result of a mind tormented by whispers?
The containment of virtue makes me feel whole,
But the absence of love in me disperses
The purity of my verse
Vexing me like a plague-stricken curse
These feelings get mixed
Though my thoughts are thoroughly fixed
Passion brings me to places I’ve never been
Ubiquitously in a state of sin
If sacrificing passion fosters virtue,
Then seeking love must hurt too
The body, mind, and soul are separate from the other
But each yield the same power
In different forms they appear,
Their unity ends the reign of fear
Like God, we are one in essence
All equal under his presence
Submission to his word
Pleases His shepherd’s herd
Virtue is contained through submission
Salvation is attained by mercy’s admission
I’m keeping hope as a sword in the fight for success
But fear keeps lurking in the corner, causing confusion and doubt
Darkness could only be extinguished by the light
It’s a plight from which I can’t take flight,
But, indeed, a fight I must get right
At the end of the day the truth will prevail
Obliterating falsehood to no avail
These words are flowing from my hands
As blood runs through veins
Flying through time like pebbles of sand
On a beach during a windy day
With each fleeting moment they rise in meaning
Each word I use comes gushing out, reaming
As sleek as a simile,
But cunningly a metaphor
I jot my thoughts down peacefully
Through the chaotic disturbance of the train’s door
Is there any meaning to what my words show,
Or am I once again afflicted by the whims of that devilish flow?
