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
