An English sonnet
Purgatory's Hill
by AlvinTEthington
the mistake of sexual sin
|
Awakening, I feel quite weak and ill
I reach to find you; you are still not there Must I ascend now purgatory's hill, The cross of unrequited love to bear? Cruel fate has tempted me quite viciously With subtle promise of forbidden fruit I want to live my life maliciously And never rise above a selfish brute But I have promised God and ev'ry friend That I would lead a life of charity And never would I cause my life to end So this I know in crystal clarity-- No matter what mistakes I do now make The Lord my God will not my soul forsake. |
