Bittersweet Bliss

Bittersweet Bliss Singing a sad song, I awaken to a new dawn A lucullan liaison, ready to selfless spawn In a deadened dormant, my heart opens to repent In hells I have spent, now I am reborn, heaven sent Living in a dying, now spiritually flying In a constant crying, I’m now purifying Within darkened walls, I hear Angelic calls Amidst fatuous falls, now I walk hallowed halls A self-seclusion, now broken mirrors of illusion A confined confusion, toward a climbing conclusion Entombed and enslaved, now I am saintly saved Drowning and depraved, now I am proudly praised. Sept.01.2017 Bittersweet Sponsored by: Kevin Shaw A poem any form, consisting a maximum of 12 lines only, each line between 9-13 syllables long. The poem should have a rhyme, any pattern.

Loved the conflicting images this poem created in my mind. Always nice when amidst the despair we feel the ray of hope. Great write.
