Sin

If he was a sin, I bear no regrets

and seek no penance.

A sin, I would willingly thrust into

when opportune again.

My atheist soul doesn't understand prayers,

but if this is how it feels, to surrender to an unforeseen stranger,

then, I would rather call him a prayer.

One who could turn a non believer into a believer cannot be a sin.

He wasn't a sin

but a symbol of my theism!

[k.s.]

I love the symbolism of comparing him to a prayer instead of a sin.
