I am a child born of love

I am a child born of love

A Poem by Ronke
"

I'm not quite sure what I felt or what I was feeling when I wrote this, the words just came.

"
I am a child born of love, taken from the source of an unknown desire,
from the dangerous fire of passion that goes beyond human comprehension;
I am the hook from within the throat of the fish. I am the pain in the heart, the pain of loss.
Trepidation. 
Unfaithfulness, brought from a selfish lust�"a selfish desire. 
A devilish thought, a satanic confession over the Atlantic, 
calling Satan’s legions to flee Jericho. I am the Ark, 
brought by the sinful account of the virgin stained by purity’s lover. 
Agamemnon dreamt it. 
Sophocles carried it along the waves of ignorance, 
to finally lay the foundation of a timeless heaven. 
Star struck and love lost we stand between dreams forgone and reality’s apparition, condemned by our souls, we wait on Lucifer’s call to redemption. 
Over the watery path of Elijah’s cloak, we are brought to the climax of the insignificance we call...our 
existence.

wow! the image you created is so real!
Love the choice of words, the dialogue, n the power of the piece

The lines need work tho. The flow would've been flawless, you just need to cut some lines into multiple ones
