Forgiveness
Between our passing you may not
have meant to take me out
but the pain that you imposed
quite deliberate about
also pointedly depicting
your face shy of weary
because carnal worth has told you
power's most endearing
Following your braking
desire naturally came about
to regain vengeful justice
excommunicate and shut out
but the problem with revenge
is that it requires time preparing
and formulating only leads
the heart the more to caring
Instead Psalms became my poetry
meditating a piece of your art
"I will not tolerate
he who has haughty eyes and a proud heart."
But I deduced from my unforgiveness
is your presence remaining
and to allow existence
is by definition tolerating
The heart not on the sleeve
but pain crosses each path without
exclusion and is probably
what's responsible for how.
Harmful retaliation
can be served to the undeserving
when humanity pours out from
experience in its hurting.
Pain can lead to spreading
of poison from heart to heart
and I was sorry when I
learned that you had some scars.
You're human too, so I heed
God's rebuke on back biting
It was not me watching
the nights that you spent crying.
Furthermore not to cast the stone
holds more than your bail out
it is my life also
this liberation is about
bitterness is a tie
and reminds of your bruising
I'm not hitting back
because I'm choosing to be free.
I fancy forgiveness
inclusive guilty I have been found
life is one long lesson
and no ones potential yet fully sound.
A strong person
can absorb the offenses of the week
knowing our own short comings
pardon our follies mutually.
