Forgiveness

UNDESERVING

 I'm so undeserving

of Your grace,

of Your mercy,

of your love unswerving.

My heart, I've laid waste

with the vilest of sins.

Yet, You wash me

in the blood shed on the Cross.

For words, I'm at a loss.

How do I thank You

for a love so true

for Grace and mercy

given so freely

that it washes me anew

when I'm so undesserving?

Beyond The Rapids

 

She is beyond the waterfall crisis and has become the quiet pool

below and beyond it. She is tolerant of each, forgiving of all. She is also

the pure splashing fountain of which she wrote. It rises from her pool as she laughs more frequently than Yellowstone's Old Faithful geyser.

The confessions of Four

He introduced himself as Four
Had certain bad deeds to answer for
I have a confession i need to make
To right the wrongs of my mistakes
My sins are numbered by my name 
dark secrets I’ve held and soley claim
One Sunday morning a plot unfolds
Took a life to save her soul
The second occurred at 21
A bar several beers and a gun
Number three a damaging lie
Hurt many close friends of mine
The fourth accused as a thief 
Charged convicted and found guilty
Prayed repented and asked for forgiveness 
Meditated deeply and contemplated
Searched endless for this very moment 
For gods approval and atonement

Repetition

I did it again

It's a sin

Father forgive me

For I know what I do

I know what I choose

Time and time again

I choose Me over You

 

The first man condemned me

The last Man redeemed me

The inner man damns me

The new man reviles “Me”

 

I give up again

It's all I can do

 

So take “me” away

And fill me with You

For I know once I am more like You

I'll be the best Me I can be

What Am I To Make (Of Who I Am?)

What am I to make of who I am?
I can't blame tomorrow for yesterday
Here I am, already fingering blame
Convicting something that has yet to happen

 

I'm charging the hands of time
That has still to be announced
With a list of thought crimes
Of having cursed us, having lied
From us, having stolen itself
Telling us we had more than was left

 

I'm charging the hands of time
With a list of thought crimes
I'm locking the future up
With those that I never forgave

 

What am I to make of who I am?
If I can only become this man
Here I am, all ready to ruin the day
Guaranteeing agar agar for Misery to breed

 

In rage,
I've kidnapped the charms of life
Blindly,
Somehow, I've ended up
With a knife in my hand
The knife to it's neck
Tomorrow's pleading eyes
Snapping me out of it
I was about to kill a kid
Because he could become a Hitler

 

I'm charging the hands of time
That has still to be announced
With a list of thought crimes
Of having cursed us, having lied
From us, having stolen itself
Telling us we had more than was left

 

I'm charging the hands of time
With a list of thought crimes
I'm locking the future up
With those that I never forgave

 

I'm sorry, Tomorrow
Forgive me, today
I should have forgiven you
Yesterday

You

You were the sin after my heart,

I was the rescue to your soul. 

Mend the kinks I've repressed

and bring truth from past haunts. 

When does it end? 

The suffering that tries to besiege me.

Or is it but a shadow hovering my existence;

meshing plagues. 

Show yourself to spill secrets in whispers,

as the echoes will chime distant cries.

Should you mold me out of clay, 

it should become your cursed delusion.

Now let your naked eyes mend fragility,

from the pieces of blind thoughts. 

Should I walk you home again,

let it be a desolate map scratched with black and white.

Forgiveness is something I just cannot give!

            Forgiveness is something i just cannot give

They say I must forgive them to move on with my life. 

But how does one do that when they caused so much strife

What I went thru when I was a just a child no one should relive

So this i say to you forgiveness is something I just cannot give

And when I got married to him and his vicious violent way

All they would say was he's your husband come what may

So I endured his wild and angry fists till i didn't wanna live

So this I tell to you forgiveness is something I just cannot give

So after the divorce I met someone online who promise to be kind

Well that turned out worse then I thought for love is really blind

So when you say I must forgive you must be damn nieve

Again I say to you forgiveness is something I just cannot give

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This has been a poem I've had inside of me since the young age of ten when my life started to decline and it took me 39 years and a lot more strife before I could truley write it and get it off my chest
