The Conflict
by m r w → (All Poetry by m r w)
  
Share   Print  Save   Follow   Share on Facebook

Loneliness defined in an empty kiss
Passion repressed, confined, trapped in verse
Regret overwhelming endless days
Touchless nights consumed in sorrow’s tears
Invisible even in the mirror
Losing faith, happiness fades to gray

Hope found in a gentle voice
Distant yet familiar
A connection thought forever lost
Dormant desires erupting within
Liberated passion igniting the heart
Ecstasy found but not without cost

Faith challenged at its very core
False choices seducing judgment
Guilt fueled by a conflicted heart
Salvation seemingly lost to sin
Love beautiful in its intent
Manifested in a forbidden touch

Irreconcilable Situation
Incorruptible Faith
Bound by self conviction
Forgiveness awaiting acceptance
Wondering why the delay
Patient and unwavering love
