I Am Sorry

I am sorry, I broke my promise
A heavy voice spoke, wracked in guilt
with a dagger in my heart, I wept all alone
as the world moved on to a new day.  
little snippets raced, still within your gravity.
and I stayed in your arms, with no words to say.  
Cacophonic thunders and lightning fears
enveloped me in darkness of helpless tears.

Drenched in rain I slowly turn to sunshine,
Oh!  your lies were so beautiful...
Stars  glittered in everlasting nights
my moonlit sky turned calm and cool. 
Dreamy clouds and foamy fountains 
in pristine passion, mingle into a river.
I forgive and set free, two prisoners of love
only  fractals of moments I keep forever.
You were  sorry that you broke your promise 
I am sorry,  I couldn't break mine.

This is a great poem, Debjani. The theme "Forgiveness" is so beautifully expressed - Love the last two lines "You were sorry that you broke your promise I am sorry, I couldn't break mine. " WOW! So profound! Love and best wishes ~ Mala

Since moments are fractal it's not easy to break promises made on time. Very nice composition. Congratulations.
