Rhoma Em Poet Verse

Seven For Chaos and Disorder-- Penance

While the havoc  of this cold January night
Grinds like fractured  pieces and shards in my bosom --
My own  penance still remains with a  transgression
Forgotten not--  when my being righteous made you stray--

Yet, your grace to understand my intent humbles me
Taking the  warm path of forgiveness, this mercy
Which enables us to  reach out through serenity’s behest.
