Eyes of morasses mire

Exteriority of compunctious accruing scruples-

induced from the mind’s watchful eye;

Projections embedding acumens imprint;

Are transient changes to integrities sty…

Where some thoughts know temporals permanence-

Contrition rests faithfully inside;

Where there is an element of moral absolution;

renouncing penal flogs claimed by staving pride…

An acquittal of forged vindications warrant-

lost beneath tempers scathing dejected sconce;

edged by segregations of truth silently burning;

within the tense amerce of virtues mouth…

Slain by requisitions falling hunters;

from mountainous thrones of petty knolls;

Spurred by impulsive self serving forethoughts;

Are those emotional greed’s secularity often stole…

Some savage hearts are piratically blinding;

to the rue of penitence before them brought;

peering from the sordid dark plodding corners;

where no light of love was ever sought…

Gorging like the grandiose stouts of an ego-

birthing righteous castles importuned by fate;

There are some reclusive commands silently waiting;

whom covets spires calamitous beliefs delving hate…

Convolutions of an indemnity facing laborious walls;

like the thorns of denunciation which cursedly exist;

Scouring the stable presence of arduous clarities;

with sequestrate stones mirroring the plaguing risk…

Festering within an infectious agony impeding;

harassing their own soul's torn infarctions tire;

Exteriority tries to hide beneath altered reluctance;

traveled by scrupulous eyes of morasses mire..
