Purgatory

I wonder if God would 

Be spiteful if

He found out that 

I'm in love

With all things

Tainted

I wonder if the Devil

Would be displeased if

He found out that

I'm in love 

With all things 

Pure

Author's Note

It's been a while since the last time I wrote. Writers block can be a terrible pain.

This poem came and snatched me out of my bed tonight. It seems, I have found someone who understands the importance of knowing both of these realms, how else to accurately tell a tale if you have not stood on both sides of the river? Too many writer/poets (people, myself included) rush to claim the high ground, but this makes us hypocrites who refuse to be honest with ourselves, refuse to explore that other part of ourselves; no, we do plenty of that when nobody's looking. Instead the "artist" should admit to their darker nature ––– not embrace it ––– or accept it, but just admit to it.
Then, the writer is again whole, the writer has merged. Free to create without guilt, without bias.

Sorry about the mini rant here, Phoen-ix, but I get excited when I find another who admits,
to their purgatory.

Nice juxtaposition. Looking forward to more.

A nice poem, in answer to the first question your poem posted, I don't think God would mind at all, as He is also in love with all things tainted.

A thought provoking, clever contrast of the fine line between morality and temptation and one we all must walk! Splendidly penned, keep writing!
