De Profundis

I admit I broke all the rules,
This fool considered them jewels.
I care not about cost and fees:
Each a burden of stormy breeze.

God loves the sinner, not the sin.
Each sin he would throw in the bin.
Repent, all souls have all My keys
I will you not in hell doth freeze.

Know God heals the broken-hearted,
My cold heart ought to be smarted.
Whereas through life, each sin He sees.
Will you forgive and my faults ease?

Down I go to pray on my knees.
O Lord, be compassionate, please.

A Sonnet for us to be reminded of what a good God we know if we put our trust, if we just give Him a chance to love us. Beautiful poetry, Victor! Out of the Depths indeed.

Your heart leans toward God, certainly He hears your prayers. Hugs ~ Kim (He doesn’t make us beg for forgiveness, instead He took each sin to the cross - what a good God we serve)

After four years of Latin, this grabbed nt eye, mass in Latin was profound as was Gregorian chant, 12 years with Dominican nuns and Jesuits. Mass every first Friiday, and yes confessing my sins in those darg comfessionals?leaves awesome memories on ones soultoday, people fear nothing, they have made themselves into God, who judge the entire universe. Think I’m kidding read poetryj here.. heaven help us all. But God was Fired…years ago. Great poem Victor, Pangie xoxo

just looking in what's happening with my favorite poets. I am fascinated with this kind of poem, I must dig out the rules again. BTW, seems the title is Latin? Love the ending, though. Forgive and be forgiven.

I forgot to tell you something. Kyrielle means that the last line is always the same: the last line of each stanza. This is a kyrielle sonnet, so there is another rule for ending with the couplet. If you look at my kyrielle Life's Wonderful, you can see how to do it.

Victor, I am very familiar with this form, and you did well for your first time. Stanza two is awkwardly worded. I love your ending couplet.

Dear Victor, Your poem is a powerful exploration of remorse and seeking forgiveness. The opening lines acknowledge wrongdoings and the disregard for "rules" and "cost." The contrasting statements about God's love and the burden of sin create a sense of internal struggle and yearning for redemption. The line "Repent, all souls have all My keys" offers a glimmer of hope, suggesting the possibility of forgiveness through repentance. The final line, "O Lord, be compassionate, please," beautifully captures the vulnerability and humility of seeking divine mercy. Victor this is a personal and introspective poem. It teaches us that forgiveness is always possible through genuine remorse and seeking a higher power. - Blessings, Daniel

I am unfamiliar with the kyrielle form, so I am therefore unable to offer a critique. However I do like this poem and its timeless message of repentance and plea for forgiveness. :)
