Robert James Liguori Poet Couplet

Unforgivable

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.  -- Luke 6:37
___________________________________


I crossed the line
I spilled the wine

The rest of my life, I am unforgivable
In crowds, in families, in my own chapel

I am here to be shunned
There is no victory to be won

Yet everday I still prepare a bowl of fruit
Hoping to once again rethread my suit

Come and break bread with me
Remove the spear that is there but you cannot see

I am a man in desperate need of a hug
Look below, we stand on the same stained rug

Sotto Poet November 12, 2021 at 8:02 PM In just a few sentences, you've conveyed a beautiful thought. Utmost feelings, painted in vibrant hues, are intended to settle the roaming human mind.

Michelle Faulkner November 12, 2021 at 7:37 PM So true, being shut off from forgiveness is a desperate and lonely feeling, a very profound write~
