Blaming God for a forbidden love


Poem Artwork

 

Forgive me, oh Lord! Forgive me!
She was your emissary, and my guide.
Not just a woman, but an angel,
Assigned to lead me back to your path.

From the sweet spring of her soul,
I didn’t taste but one drop,
Now I thirst and hunger, oh Lord!
For the ripe fruit of her love.
 
Forgive me, oh Lord! Show me mercy!
I shouldn't love her, I know.
But it's now too late my Lord,
Cause I've given her my soul.
 
Strike me dead! If you must!
-- If You think You have no choice--
But from heaven or from hell,
I will keep loving her, Lord.
 
Forgive me, oh Lord! Forgive me!
You made her flawless and tender.
And you gave me not the strength
Nor the courage to reject her.
  
I am unable to fight against this... 
This mortal sin, known as love.
Just remember that you sent her
To touch my heart and my soul.
  
Forgive her, my merciful Lord! 
Upon her, don't bring your wrath.
You know well that she isn't guilty
--For that matter, nor am I.
 
Because you brought us together,
-- You who are the all-knowing God--
You knew this was going to happen...
And our sin, falls in your hands.

this unfolds me so deeply...
"Forgive me, oh Lord! Forgive me!
You made her flawless and tender.
And you gave me not the strength
Nor the courage to reject her."


I love how you speak with such emotion...very beautiful
