The Sanctum of the Heart

These poems were first penned down in the period between 1996 and '98 and were revised several times over the years since then. Their original intent was not to express a personal thought or emotion, as unimportant and rather meaningless as that would seem, but to establish a link to an inner force and to awaken unto the light that great power within the self, in order to lay claim to the mighty vessel of the Spirit. As such, these intricately metered verses have given me solace at a time when all had seemingly been lost. For what is material wealth and personal ambition save for a playful distraction to the divinely Real? There comes a time when every man must make a tremendous sacrifice, and for most, this comes at the hour of one's death. But for some, who are forced into a life of privation, there seems little one can do to remain upright and to keep one's own personality against the hostile torrent that threatens to sweep him up and devour him. Thus the call to a higher power, and the urge which haunts one relentless, to reach through the fire and take hold of the flame. For to come through one's battles unscathed and to direct the forces of good against the mighty evils of our time: This is the way of the Sacred Heart!
