Tag Archives: Forgiveness
Penitent
And apologize for what
The blessings unnoticed
The love debt, outstanding
The flesh gift, unopened
The mind’s galaxy, unexamined
And the words must be uttered
I’m sorry
Forgiveness, now granted
The eyes see the fire
The resolve, reignited
Well Enough Alone: A Haiku
My gift to you, Sir
I forgive that you failed me
My gift to myself
Better
This morning in wondering
Wandering thoughts
If I, in your stead
Tough and stuff
Stepped into your shoes
Learned and all
Walked up to me
Enlightened as you are
And took it all back
Reversed course
Been soft
Apologized properly
Loved Actually
What then?
So I did this
For you
For me
For I have become what I was
But better, baby
Better
The Same Measure
Look with me
Far enough up
Forgive the atmosphere, layered
Its pain, its shame
See with me
Filterless skies
Redeem them, though unasked
Their Gossamer egos, thin skin
Haiku Dump: Saturday, March 11, 2017
Should I be writing
The times I’m angry and lost
Readers deserve joy
Do speak albeit
From a position of pain
Compelled to not quit
I thought I’d progressed
But I’m back at the start point
Mired in pain again
FORGIVE its proper
Silence your pity party
You’re in pain so what
Ev’ry day I pray
Please God help me to forgive
Why’s He saying Shhhhhh
This daily cower
To the bully at the door
Must happen no more
Congratulations
Though I fear you I won’t cry
Business is business
Your barbs unending
Relativity is gone
Anyone dissent
Antagonism
Why do you sit on that perch
Gives me a headache
Negative thinkers
Will call themselves realists
Seems like a cop-out
Chased after your heart
Twenty years to no avail
That was so not fun
Wanting approval
Judgement indifference stings
Take back the vows please
To lose a great love
For hoarding your acceptance
Seems tragic to me
Compliments were due
On such niceties as this
Hearts may rise or fall
I so disagree
That I’ve deserved such disdain
But you did your worst
The reason I cheer
Your years of bad behavior
Affect me no more
I do forgive you
How sad your uncontrite heart
Forfeited you mine
I step forward here
Despite that you’re not sorry
And that you blame me
Joylessness goodbye
You had your 15 minutes
So linger no more
And From My Hand
Children Honor
Footprints at the parks and Pier
Marching boldly against landmarks
Crayons on the picture window
Funny faces wearing too-big shoes
Trying theater to please me
You’re my sleuthing secret agents
Your spirit dwarfs the world
I make skyscraper mistakes
Yet you
Build me up with Auntie
Magnify me with Mama
Sustenance: A Haiku
Haiku on Being: Friday, February 28, 2014
What would it look like
To abandon past tenses
And act with intent
