Immolated Love

Immolated Love

A Poem by The_Criminal
"

A broken psalm of a heart embraced in Love.

"
Living in the stars, 
I see no end in sight,
Do you hear me?
My Soul's on Fire for You!
The New Dawn's a breaking,
Burning me Alive,
Immolated with Your Love!
Never have you left me,
Just held my hand, from afar.
I see Your tears now,
Consummate with mine.
Our hearts,
They beat,
Beating like a thousand raging bulls.
Never have you said,
"He is No son of mine,"
Instead you held me,
Closed in Your embrace.
Sweet Redeemer,
The Ages need Their King,
But I need you more
For I'm a coward,
lowly and ashamed,
That You could love,
A Criminal,
Such as I.
Do you hear me,
On that Cross,
Which I made?
Lord forgive me...
For never loving,
As You, have Loved me.
Mend my heart,
to rejoice in Your Victory.
So that I too,
can share in The Work.
For You are The Love of my Heart,
The Heart of a Criminal,
Immolated in Your Love.

I wrote this with the tune of U2's Every Breaking Wave in my head. So it may be a bit jarring :/
