The Dowry

Prayerful countenance, my soul's own veil has aptitude in keeping mind's involve to follow true poetic thought's portrayal and hold in dowry's distribution ~ love! A parasite, distrust, does muster fail that groveling of lust from out its cove does terminate resumption of faith's hail to usury's assumption of truth's strove! That music, consequence, denies sort's time by its incessant mitigating's fine thus grace unfaltering in its pensive rhyme is Heaven's calling, echo's true of thine! Significant react solves undermine as nuance of regret is so assigned to journal's keeping, studious as mine aforethought's mention holding in consign! I trail this vestige in consent's refine insolvent, rough suggestion, veering crime ~ exacting, while saved virtue not define, and calling names assumes its new combine! Convention then so claims my lonesome pine away from thy quiet peace, God's given sign, and that small claim in thee to wholeness line is in my poem . . . dowry's adept divine!
