Sacramental Compass

A poem written long ago, during a time when I lost my way.  


Sacramental Compass


Delusional secrets
of a scribbling pen rampant with desire…
and purpose.
my sacramental compass
broken by unwanted temptations…
consequences of a young maturity.
my heart not in its right mind.
the truth…
 a distant memory.
corrupted by lust and jealousy
unsought paths foolishly taken…
time and again.
my will dissolved
by conceptual beauty,
known but accepted…
gullibility at its best.
with her apathetic smile
my reality draws near and
confusion sets in.
my thoughts suddenly clouded
my emotions powerless as I lose control…
and my happiness.
