I Confess

I have sinned

against love, my religion
for I have kept silent
a truth which must be professed

that I am burning
and breaking,
over and again
into a million enraptured pieces

I confess
to a certainty I know
that less is more
but I cannot adore you any less

I confess
that this fascination
takes away my very breath

There is no peace, no penance
but to find absolution in the kiss
I'd give my all to express

To this and everything else
I confess.
