sins
i ache,
from all the sins that i've done
as i beg the lord to forgive this body
for it is not one of a nun
i feel,
my sins go down my neck and face
all the way down to the drain
with the water it flowed
between my legs and toes
i stare,
i couldn't help but stare
as they leave my body and soul
like dust vanishing in thin air
i walk,
as if baptised again, feeling rebirthed
my gaze falls on a movement in the threshold.
i hold my breath
and forget myself
i see your orbs of brown
and lose common sense
my sanity's been lost,
in the devil I've put my trust
his hands, eyes and lips are my den
forgive me dear lord, for a sinner is what i've become yet again
