Rajat Kanti Chakrabarty Poet Rhyme

Forgiveness

When you're hurt by someone you love and trust
                  You become sad a jumbled mass of nerve- crushed
                    You cover your bleeding self with a crust of smile
               Heart aches tears roll and you knock him a country mile


                  It is easy to hold a grudge and on flame with anger
           You are swallowed by bitters and cannot muffle the banger
               You are wrapped up in blues and sun is hellish moor
                  You feel the chill of life and monsters on the spoor


                But you see the other end they are bent out of shape
                  They are in pain and act up in the minute of scrape
                   Put yourself in his place and think of deadly hours
             You can find a ravished land where is no heaven-showers


               So forgive him be one with him it'll cure your scar
              "I forgive you brother let us enjoy the morning star"

Connie Marcum Wong February 20, 2015 at 4:33 AM Forgiveness is a soothing balm we administer to ourselves at the same time we forgive someone who has hurt us. Your poem expresses how important forgiveness is Rajat! This is wonderful! 7

Kp Nunez February 20, 2015 at 12:39 AM Forgiveness releases its hold both on the one who forgives and the forgiven....and "Death loses its sting". From one man to another, forgiveness is the most generous gesture one can give. I love your poem, I love the conclusion. A 7. Be blessed my friend. :D Kim

David Meade February 19, 2015 at 7:31 PM My dearest brother -- sweet is the forgiveness and bright is the morning star . . . as iron sharpens iron, so does man sharpen man . . . your words have sharpen me today. Much love, forgiveness and light dear dear friend.

Iris E. Sankey- Lewis February 19, 2015 at 6:03 PM I like "Forgiveness" because it is something we must do, whether we want to, or not. You have penned a poem so inviting.
