Threshold To Forgiveness
my eyes dilate leaving him breathless-
seeking what should have been sought
yesterday and beyond kismet;
I reap in seeds that sow themselves-
(spread me over willows weeping)
he gazes at me with such depth;
sees the me I wish was there-
maybe he’s blinded by love and
won’t ever see the demons within,
for they would chase him until he
left…
for good this time
I am but a woman longing for a place
to call home-
searching endlessly for that safe and
comfortable bed to keep warm in winter,
cover me gently as the moondust
f
a

onto my bare feet,
with him beside me-
but then he’s left breathless and I am left…
restless
for there is no entrance sign to eternity when love
is your redemption-
and there is no threshold to forgiveness
