Sacred Solitude

A poem about celibacy

My love life is at the crossroads

I've kissed too many toads

Lack of faith as my load

Confusing love to lust

forgetting that the body is only dust

Engagement became my wedding

I want to commit to Jesus with a purity ring

Because I've had my share of abuse and fornication

False friends ruining my reputation

I want to withdraw to sacred solitude

because human relations have no longitude

I'm tired of drowning into this teary flood

Approval of people defining if I'm bad or good

I should seek to please God first

Instead of following every wolf blood thirst

wanting from me one thing or another

Before giving out the physical, material goods I bother

I want to make sure of a legal, No Motives brother

A spiritual and sober, clean living brother

I want to make sure that we respect each other

before having a son or daughter

He should weigh my worth in gold

We should share common values and interests in order to grow old

If there are loving words and deeds in moderation

Then we can put the marriage in consideration

though family seems to be a dying institution

Marriage is a facade to hide moral pollution

Celibacy

is like fasting of the delicacy

with this initiative

love is ought to get more creative

by alternative ways to show affection

Like discussions to deepen connection

Quality time and common activities

Friendship before romance to create memories

Not to forget the importance of hugs and kisses

For the sisters with virginity

I wish I had kept mine till infinity

Now I'm mourning my lost innocence

I want no sex before marriage with confidence

Against temptation shall Lord be my defense

Satan sees the opportunity in loneliness

But I'll take time and space to grow in holiness

Banish the devil in prayer, meditation and fellowship

While waiting for the right relationship

I want to restore my peace of mind in abstinence

Heartbreak might shine in its absence

My body is a monastery without a nun

I'm gonna treat it holistically before loving anyone
