Borrowed Words Of Acumen


Unmet expectations damage your demanding mind,
your senses become the fast spreading wild fire. 
Uncontrolled, it boils the blood of your intrinsic pride,  
and as it flares up, it burns my gentle demeanor.
Its ferocity blazes the bonhomie of bonding chords,
my life turns into an urn filled with your ill feeling.

Your flashing eyes can’t conceal you seethe inside,     
generate an inferno of malice for me in your heart .     
The twisted tongue spills out your sentiments so sadistic,      
smeared with the vicious venom of your malicious mind. 
The scorched petals of my floral essence are dislodged  
to feel the dreams turn into debris, suffering in silent pain.

I pray to God to give me the strength of tolerant psyche 
and the acuity of empathetic acumen to sense that 
“the only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive.”
So, the spontaneous spurt of imbibed divine forgiveness 
emanates from the fountain of my benign soul,
and I perceive my genial mind evade the pangs of agony.
