Mercy On My Soul 2

The Angel, The Jinn, and The Beast within

Lustful thoughts, sinful actions, adulterous acts

I feel the hands behind me

Pushing me to the edge

Redemption or hellfire

The sins take their toll

On this tortured soul

The Angel, The Jinn, and The Beast within.

Whisper that I'm at the crossroads

The Jinn laughs maniacally

The Angel says “Be Careful”

The Beast says “I have you now”

The Angel, The Jinn, and The Beast within

The Jinn says “steal her heart, crush her family”

The Angel says “back off, you can have her in time”

The Beast says “Give in to your impulses”

Lord Have Mercy on My Soul

I've crossed a line

Soon I'll pay the fine

Up against this wall

Afraid to fall

But I've gone too far

I'll pay for this act

Lord Have Mercy on My Soul

IT'S LIKE THOSE...
THREE CHARACTERS ARE ONE PERSON...
THIS WAS VERY GOOD...

[An owl on the moon]

There is a stunning rhythm that plays through your lines, the repetition adding to the effect. Your experience... your choices driving you to that next stage... And your cry for help... so filled with a depth of emotion.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Great well written poem with loads of emotions!

[InkSlinger]

And so we wander aimless until we come to the crossroad that could make or break up.. love wants what love wants.. and there is never an easy way to take a step back... a solid piece of writing, so full of emotional pull..
