My Religion

By Khushi Gupta

You're my armour 

Steel and everything reflective 

You make me stare into my soul 

My sins , you ameliorated 

You're my home in all its rawest forms 

Back to you , I crawl 

Deep into my soul I see reds and blues 

A legion of all the hues 

I kiss your forehead and you melt into my arms

The placidity deafens me 

Free me of your charms 

I struggle against the chains 

Bound and confined in your essence 

Ragged breath , 

Alas! you've always been diabolic 

And I? An agnostic infidel, smitten by your mysticism

I finally belonged in your affinity 

You became my religion.
