Forgiveness (Remove filter)
When I talk about Forgiveness,
I am not talking about you sitting down with an ex or whoever,
and telling them you forgive them for whatever they did to you
so they can feel better, No.
The Forgiveness I Am talking about is done for the Self,
it is an act of Self Love, meant to remove the
burden of Anger/Sorrow from Your Soul.
Done in the privacy of You...

Alone and Lonely
If I had but a
Choice
To choose my fate
Farwell from this world
I'd rather drown
In the pool of tranquility
And die a peaceful death
Alone
Than be suffocated
Out of this lonlely life
Yearning for
Your lack of love.

Moon in the Morning Sky
So out of place
Yet so beautiful
Like the moon
In the morning sky
Losing its shine
And relevance
With the Rising Sun.

A smile
a smile is a heavenly thing
especifically on her face
not bothering anyone
she keeps them in place.
while his having no clue
glancing on her bliss comforts his heart
despite she being in blue
she never lets him to go apart.
from all those scenarios come in front

they will be together as it was dreamt

Got brighter as you came by.

My angel
Some people believe there is a one,
The one who points your way to the sun.
A person they believe makes them complete,
The one who will support when facing defeat.
You are my angel, my one and only,
My forever love,
so we'll never be lonely.
You've brought to my life all your love and care.
It made me see when I realized how rare It is to meet your angel, or...

Close My Eyes
Sad at a bar. sitting on the deck. watching
boats drift by;
finished my grouper sandwich; sipping on my lemon water
wondering --
So close to your lips, how did I get so far away in your mind?
I told you a long time ago, you would never have to yell but
I do.
Today was a break,
after a break,
after a break. C...

Till the end of the line
I have entered this new chapter of my life,
But it feels like the past is not so far behind.
I wish you were here to see the person who I have become today,
I wish you were here to tell me that it was going to be okay.
From seeing each other almost everyday,
To not having spoken to each other for over a year seems like hell.
I wish you were here to get me out of this mess,

MAGNANIMOUS
For in this life we suffer
Sufferings are inevitable
Not all are unpreventable
Many are preventable
Lesser of the minds so cautious
Risk assessment minds of the wise

With care

Many eyes like a peacock
Nothing goes unseen

Forgiveness
You lay in bed at night with thoughts that bring you down
You thought that you were strong, but you were wrong
You relieve the moment when you lost it and went into the dark
You lay there awake wondering if you could have done anything different
Could you have made her stay?
Could you have shown her that you lost your way?
You lay awake because you haven't forgiven yourself

Blue Sheets
the tears are gone
her eyes are dry
dawn breaks unblinking in the sky
I've confessed all
my conscience clean
surprised she did not make a scene
all those women
the casual lies
yet no questions or fluttering whys
no hint of shock
her sheets are blue;
I told her what she already knew
she'd sucked it up
loved me so much

Living in the Real World
***
What is the real world?
Now, where do we live?
Can't we forgive?
Do we ever learn?
Our minds like a sieve?
Some say, "We need war."
But all war is hell --
Yet peace we repel
The twisted with hatred
are under a spell.
The real world is we,
The real world is them--
Sharing, to free --
Diverse as we are,
Can't we disagree?
Now, it seems
fear is ruling our day.

A Declaration
I'm sorry for the things I said
Sorry for the ways I hurt you.
I know sometimes I neglect you,
I find ways to desert you.
I didn't know you wanted me, I didn't know I was allowed
I didn't know I was allowed to love you and keep you for myself.
Your lights, your eyes, your body, your smile,
They're all for me now.
You'll never walk alone,
You'll never feel untouched,
You'll never ha...

Mustn't Grumble
Mustn’t Grumble
Thinks he’s the bee’s knees
One big bumble
He’s doing his best
Mustn’t grumble
All around
Dreams start to crumble
Chin up chaps
Mustn’t grumble
Gets his words
All in a jumble
An Eton boy
So mustn’t grumble
Discontent
Begins to rumble
He’s such a card
Mustn’t grumble
Staggering on
He’s bound to stumble

Blank Paper
I start the day with little to no inspiration
Much like everyone else in the world
I also start this poem
With the repetitive voice of exasperation
The sirens are blazing late tonight
As souls are being set on fire
But because of some peoples' perseverence
Loved ones' bodies are also being set alight
Recreational parks are not essential

The Plan
I had a plan to a great story
Not perfect but a happy one
Now I find myself in this smelling, dark situation
But i hope one day you realise that it was never my intention
I was left alone to face a cross road or to turn back
But I chose a difficult path
I know there's no redemption for me but I can only hope for one
The plan was supposed to be beautifull
But I hope one da...

Arrogance Immunity
Here comes arrogance again,
slipping into our conversation
like bacteria on a sneeze,
threatening to strangle
my humble light of being.
The challenge is to continue talking,
without letting it infect me.
My soul gives yours a wink,
understanding that compassion
is the antibody.

For CJM
I hope this finds you somehow
on a train
or walking to a lecture
or waking up to the sound of the clocktower
I hope somehow it finds you
So I can tell you
without saying a word at all
I miss you like hell
and I love you to pieces
I didn't mean for this to happen
I could call
but I think hearing your voice would still hurt
I could text...

Moments
Do you ever want to
hold on to a moment
because it feels divine?
A moment when the stars align,
and everything is fine.
A moment when you make peace
with your past, and your pain.
A moment when there is
no sorrow, no shame.
A moment when fear
takes a hike.
A moment when the sky is clear,
the air is forgiving,
and sun shines bright.
A moment when everything

Go for the Glow
Go for the glow
of good health.
Go for the glow
of a clear conscious.
Go for the glow
of forgiveness.
Go for the glow
of dreaming fearlessly.
Go for the glow
of giving generously.
Go for the glow
of loving unconditionally.
Go for the glow
of a life well lived.

Father
You ask if I believe in God...
How can I not?
To deny my Father
means I leave my existence
to some 30 year old predator
who impregnated a girl half his age
and left her to raise their child
in the wilderness, among wolves
that feed on loneliness and despair.
Without my Father, I would never know
that after suffering comes deliverance,
pain leads to compassion,
forgiveness breaks b...

Daughter
Forgive me, for not
being the mother
you needed me to be.
For being too busy,
too naive to see
what was happening
in front of me.
For being silent
when your father
screamed and demeaned.
For when I thought it
was sweet that your
boyfriend carried you
to your room when you
"fell asleep".
For not enough hugs
and too many lectures.
For not seeing the signs

You neglected me,
didn’t protect me,
abandoned me,
chose an abusive man
over your children...
I forgive you.
I give you the
unconditional affection
never afforded me,
because I love you
despite everything
and I don’t want
the past having
power over me.

Kintsugi
Precious china,
shattered
after the fall.
No longer valued,
or wanted at all.
Enter the ancient
mending art of
Kintsugi,
where the broken pieces
are filled with gold.
Alas, they are stronger
than before,
a sight to behold.
How befitting God
did the same thing for me.
Filled my shattered heart
with His love, mended me.
Kintsugi.
It’s stronger now.

Becoming
If you become
what you think about
most of the time...
I am becoming
poetry, a lyrical
fantasy floating
in rhyme.
I am becoming
love and light,
Doing my best
to do what's right.
I am becoming
forgiveness
and peace.
Healing souls
like Wayne
and Louise.
I am becoming
who God intended
me to be.
Leaving a loving
legacy.
I am becoming
free.

Echoes of Life
What are the chances
of two lost souls
light-years apart
colliding twice in life?
Astronomical. Yes!
The dance is sweeter,
with ego out of the way.
All that remains is love
purified by the same rock-bottom
pressure that turns grains of sand into
pearls, coal into diamonds.
Not lustful love, agape.
Godly, unconditional love for humanity.
Forgiving. Acce...

Ghosting
He ghosted me,
then I ghosted too.
Maybe ghosting
spreads like the flu.
Leaves the ghosted
feeling sick and blue
when a loved one
suddenly starts ignoring you.
You haven't a clue
what to do.
So, you stay in bed,
with the covers over your head
wishing you were dead
so you can get some relief
from the ghosting disease.
Eventually, you get up

Enoughness
Our ultimate journey
in life brings us
to the place of
enoughness...
You are enough.
I am enough.
I see you

You see the same

Your enoughness,
my enoughness
melds together
to create
the oneness
of love
and that is
enough.

I'm Sorry
Why say I'm sorry
for something in which
you had no part?
Because, shallow as those
two words may seem...
the gesture plays
a pivotal role in
healing a broken heart.

It's Easier to Believe
It's easier to believe
I am a child of the most high God
than to live a life of despair.
It's easier to believe
everything happens for a reason
than to question fate.
It's easier to believe
love is everywhere
than to give in to hate.
It's easier to believe
in forgiveness
than remain a victim.
It's easier to believe
in abundant blessings
than mounting problems.

Jail
He did wrong
One time, that was all she needed to prove her right
Forgave him on the outside
On the inside, he was concentrated
Their home became a jail
Not forgetting what seemed like yesterday
But years old

But reminded him
You are stuck with what you you’ve done
But, he asked you to forgive, as she did
He proposed hoping to st...

I'm sorry I hurt you.

Like a sky so starry
You're the light to my night
You're the courage to my fright
And I've cast you away
Thrown you to the fray
And I'll do whatever
Whatever you want forever
Anything to get you back
Because my life's gone slack
And I need you
Your every blue
I need your smile

Pieces of Freedom; A personal perspective on Freedom and the deeply intimate significance of the powerful influence it silently wields in my life.
What does "Freedom" mean to you? Personally I believe its not only enjoying basic human rights but celebrating actual freedom everyday. The downside being that it is an everyday thing for us that we tend to forget the significance of it and reduce it to "ordinary" when in fact its the most extraordinary,most divine God given sanctified gift we have. Our free will so precious that our Creator Almig...

FORGIVENESS
Forgiveness is my best friend
she gives such relief

Finding my best friend
can be such a challange
She often hides in the corners of my mind
plays hide and seek with my heart

It's so hard to let go
and let her do her magic
It's easier to sit in the dark closet
holding onto anger

Anger is black and painful
it takes from my soul

Forgiveness
We are wronged by people daily,
but to not forgive is unconscionable.
The Universal King had died for all;
for in eternity's view, we're pardonable.
He has given absolute amnesty
to everyone who has accepted Him.
Make no mistake about this unmerited immunity -
Grace's favor (over the course of Life) wears thin.
Death is inevitable, and our spirits

My uncle, Gaston,
mum's bro (1-yr apart),

Faint lustre of his boyhood charms.
It was a waiting game
& he was hanging on.
He held back the Ripper's blade
Unmindful that he'd had it made.
