Jesz Ika Poet Classicism

Leper I Am

leper i am
oozing is filth
come, Great I AM
rid of this spilth

i, the leper
lack sensation
and such shatter
cause these lesions

leper i am
so far from God
irked-- eye problem
joy-- i forgot

leprosy rules
hurting all friends
carelessly drools
nothing it mends

leper i am
all seems hopeless
step in, I AM
this heart's loveless

leper i am
please do linger...
... touch, Great I AM;
heal each finger

leper i am,
monster-- all hail!
long race i ran
from self, oh fail

o Great I AM
take over now
hurt many Man
enough pain now

leper i am
no more to be
bid Lord, "do scram"
infections flee

leper i am
hideous; stinks
i touch Your hem
healing in Wings

leper was i
but help me still
each day, oh my
has its fair deal

God; constant help
You did befriend
my rotten self
Thank You. Amen.

Paul Callus October 12, 2019 at 7:05 AM Like the woman in the Bible, you humble yourself and ask to be forgiven, knowing that God will not be deaf to your prayers, Jeszika. I find this poem very sincere, as it projects sentiments attributed to strong faith. Regards // paul Jesz Ika April 25, 2020 at 11:42 AM Hello Paul. How are you? I have been not been active on this platform for a long time. Thank you for the comment and for the reflections. He really does answer prayer. It was really a tough time I was going through. God helped me through, honestly. Regards, Jesz
