Redemption

Because of her, I became a sinner, her sultry look gave me fever. When she drifted, she took my reason. How can I buy back my redemption? Her magic charm made me her believer, wanting to have her heart forever. I must admit, it's my confession, she was the muse of my illusion. But how can I buy back my redemption when she took away my volition? If money could buy my salvation, I'll drain my bank for my liberation. The fountain of redemption keeps me drowned without sound reason. How long shall I drink in its empty spring? How long shall my faith hang in string? *Inspired by the song "Redemption"* May 15, 2023 Joe Bonamassa Inspiration 2 Poetry Contest (3rd place) Sponsored by: Robert James Liguori
