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
