Tides of the Enigma

I once lived a way

delighting in missteps, chaos and decay

for what could fray

the string of a life

already abject

consummated by strife

certain of my soul’s sovereignty

–

It has been said

you reap what you sow

death and destruction

I came to know

fertilized in selfishness

cloaked in corruption

harvesting the fruit of my seduction

–

Now Here Today

I know the errors of my way

looking back on a life

illuminated by darkness

characterized by farness

vowing to veer

towards torment no longer
