Confessions of Fire

In that moment,
My soul burned
What was born
From pleasure
Had to die in guilt
In that moment
I was caught up
Denying
My betrayal
Now I confess
To this fire
My eyes,
A sea of blood
Ready
For the consequence

What was born
from pleasure
had to die in guilt

That is so very powerfully expressed. A betrayal can certainly lead to guilt. Confessing that guilt would cause a bonfire of magnitude. You say so much here in this brevity. Thank you for sharing.

I had to laugh at 'bonfire of magnitude'... You get the idea. And yes, guilt is exhausting. Thanks for this lovely review Chris :)

You are welcome. Pleased you could laugh at bonfire of magnitude:) I built one of those for my first husband. He was lucky he didn’t end up as a guy fawkes effigy :)

In one fell swoop!
You executed the scene of the fall,
regret and retribution.
Daz!
You are a remarkable writer!

Infidelity is a hard one. You capture both its allure and its consequence masterfully.

Thank you, Pryde Foltz.

"What was born from pleasure/ Had to die in guilt." There is a suggestion of sex in this. The story behind it would be interesting.

Thanks for the review.
