Forgive Me Not

Sorry does not drool from jilted lips Nor, does sin seep, through sagging seams Thus, Poison held in vile vials Culminate disturbing dreams Are transgressions fate and folly from a cup that all must sip And suffer from some turn and trial Just to get forgiveness Or are we prone, from wish or wisdom Hoping we be un-bequiled From the quill that penned the potion Deluding hate, with strong denial What is strength and what is weakness Facing facelessness with smile ? "til the soul's consumed by fire Forgiveness sure must take a while My transgressions, posted stealthy on the sleeve, I wear at night Looks to me as pure white linen But, kept discreetly out of sight I bruise your wing, you break my bow It's been this way, since forever I do forgive thee this I know Though you-me, not and never.
