I Have Come To This Place Poem by Babatunde Idowu Ebenezer

I want to cry out loud,
To pour out all my heart,
So as to relieve myself a bit.
And in order to do this,
I have come to this junction,
Where blood meets tears,
And form a puddle of emotion.

I want to close my eyes,
To keep all the tears inside,
So as to regain myself a bit.
And in order to do this,
I have come to this junction,
Where flesh meets thorns,
And form a feeling of pain.

I want to hold my breathes,
To hold my anger deep in me,
So as to remain myself a bit.
And in order to do this,
I have come to this junction,
Where mercy meets betrayal,
And form a puzzle of irony.

I want to lose myself,
To make myself simply disappear
So as to unwind myself a bit.
And in order to do this,
I have come to this junction,
Where forgiveness meets unholiness,
And form a web of agony.

I want to bow my head,
To tear my clothes in humility,
So as to revive myself a bit.
And in order to do this,
I have come to this junction,
Where love meets death,
And form a lifetime of salvation.

I have come to this junction,
Where I can lay all my griefs down,
Where He picked all my sufferings up.
I have come to the Golgotha,
Where my love I find,
I have come to the place of the skull,
Where my sanctuary abides,
I have come to Calvary,
Where I stay blameless and painless.
