Confessions of a Convent Girl

You exonerate me always as eye candy,
displayed as such, a temple to your dreams
away and out of reach, my present dandy;
include you in my search for these extremes.

To leer and confiscate towardly,
a faith in you, that this my own portrays
Catholicsm, not disorderly
contains the stark reality displays.


My thoughts of you accept repentence like,
I speak, amidst the silence of an ear
for soft tribunes of sympathtic strike
incur a love that some say disappear. 

O! Father have I not refrained from seeing,
glimpses of the man whose hide and seek
shall flower this enchantment of well-being 
lovelorn duties meeting you this week.

I offer invitation from the soul,
a freedom that without it, makes me whole.
