Redemption

Love for love is my only redemption,

There is no debt, the price prepaid.

For you my love, there is no exception.

Our construction is done, the foundation is laid.

Honor for honor is my only intention.

I am here for you, thy soul protect.

Lead me into the right direction,

For you are the most beautiful soul I’ve met.

My love of loves I give you a message.

From you to me, I shall now redeem.

Please open your heart, and permit me passage,

For a love like this, cannot fail to be seen.

I wrote this poem so many years ago, while I was still in high school. During those years, I was quite the hopeless romantic. I had all of this bottled up love inside and as I wasn't dating anyone at the time, I had noone to pour my heart out to. Therefore, my only vent was the written page. Out of the dozens upon dozens of poems I have written, this one was my favorite. I hope you enjoy its interesting complexities boiled down to just these few words.

Your Wordsmith,

Matthew Leo
