Within Eroding Hymns

Every verse shakes with a contradiction Binding mercy in chains with conviction Every taste of truth is laced with divisions Shared in unions ensnaring benedictions Our time is told through triumph teetering Upon sands once sanctified with gilt gold Avenues bathed with balm culled from Gods Aligning below the heavens to chant floods Listen to the doubt of desire unlock Doors resonating footsteps seeking Corridors where a blessing awaits Faithfully to pardon mortal dreams Never ending waking trepidation Drying eyes in the alleys unseen Voices without stories reflecting Shadows sensed staring unheard Frescoes webbed by emotions washed Over unrequited communions wished Before candles lit in crumbling rooms Illuminating statues weeping silence
