Why 1,575 haikus? Because my darlingest Annelies Marie Frank lived 15.75 years in this world.

Love of Purity



Love of purity
is the gain of chastity,
a freedom within.

Strength in modesty,
comes from a love deep within -
respecting others.

Chastity is this -
t'is a love, first and foremost,
a freedom within!

T'is a freedom - kind -
a return to innocence,
and right relations.

T'is a release - from -
the bondage of the body;
a joy in the soul.

T'is a release - sweet -
yet difficult, and God-filled;
severe is the test.

T'is a release - gained -
through prayer's battle, through faith,
by grace, and good effort.

T'is a release - from -
the horror of slavery
from sins to recoil.

It's fruits are sweetest
when love draws you the nearest
to God and heaven.

It is not prudish
sullen, awkward, or ugly.
It is beautiful.
