Just beacuse....

Words fall silent
on deafened ears
whisked away
on a changing wind
broken promises
full of tears
fallen grace from faultless sin.
Goodbye to you my lover
a bruised flower shaken loose
from the inner seed
words left unspoken,
often felt
but never really given heed.

Friendships
last a lifetime
long after anger breaks the heart
forgiveness
is but a touch away
even though we are so far apart.
Words of mine can not heal
only time
can soothe the ripple of pain
outward,
inward,
consuming
left tired, sullen,
I feel so full of shame.

Lay down your sorrow,
find me
where the road meets the dwindling sky
touching deep
the curve of despair
and share with me
a cleansing cry.
Rise up,
rise up,
and lift your eyes to heaven…
Let the day’s sun warm your face
touch the pain,
feel it one last time
and let your heart forgive with grace.

:) You are forgiven...lol
I can relate to this one, the hurt, the guilt..the want to move past all that to retain friendship...to live again. You have an amazing ability to tap into the inner sanctum of emotions then express them with an uncomplicated but beautiful selection of words used in just the right way. A gift. :)

This is beautiful explained with the most touching words out of a honest heart. Thank you for sharing. Purity in your poems, especially this one!

This is so Beautiful. The way in which you ask for forgiveness... is "sincerity in its truest form". Breathtaking!

Beautiful! Nice worded thoughts that touches the reader with a soft touch. Being away hasn't done thing to your writing, you still got it!!!

This was one outstanding poem that was worded so brilliantly! Forgiving someone is never easy, especially if you feel you were not in the wrong, but sometimes we must set our pride aside and take the first step and allow friendship and love to blossom once again!

I really lie the way this one is set up. The lines with only a word or two give more importance to those words and really puts the emphasis where it needs to be. It is very deep and gets into the heart of the matter. there is despair, but also hope. I like it a lot. My fav line is-

touching deep
the curve of despair...

nice!
