Unseeking Seeker Poet Rondeau

Notes About The Poem

Desires Bait

Desires bait, blocking path to heavens gate
Save for pure and chaste, awaits a dark fate
Consumed by ego spawned raging fire
Born to perish at the funeral pyre
Yet redemption ours, in stillness sedate

Where lies promised joy, which will not abate
How to start afresh, wiping clean life slate
Conscience betrayed, are we not a liar
Desires bait

Oh hermit, hold still, it is not too late 
Cessation the way, all desires negate
Pure, childlike heart is all that we require
Touch divine takes us higher and higher
Align head and heart with love, do not wait
Desires bait
