" On Concupiscence "

If it be within the desire of me
To savor Godly delights
And to receive still greater
Consolation
Then despise the things of this world
Renounce all vile
Pleasures
For this will morph into
The wings of Angels
And copious consolation will be
Yours
The carnal will tempt
And entice you
But prayer's carry with them
The will
Of the Word
And the Love of God's
Strength
And guidance.....
