Augustinian Premonition

Soiling, sin stains bleach the fabric of my inner being Serrated path is dotted with my continual missteps Shady thoughts shudder my raven mind Salty, brackish inclinations evaporate into my sane senses Silty apparitions clutter then corrode my night visions Sultry, lucid desires are embedded in my dark imagination  Seductive thoughts race through my coarsening intellect Shifting eyes refract the availing light Sordid deeds exponentially multiply my misery Searing indiscretions bracket my dampening conscience Shrouding gloom eclipses my vexed heart Soaring guilt pulsates through my jaded psche Shallow cares flood then drown my resolve Satiating peace flees from my corrupt estate Shielding grace is obfuscated by my compounding feelings of inadequacy Spawning mercy is blighted by my wicked, cankerous condition Sanctifying balm rubs raw my callous, iniquitous sores
