Matt Calliri's Forgive Me Contest ... submitted 6 Jan 25
Shall I be the bearer of forgiveness When inertia steals precious moments? Pen and patience bleed dry on ink As your absence deprives me From feeding a muse' s hunger. Verses silenced like frozen leaves Till drafts now guide me past excruciating hours; Calming my doubts as I reflect How abandoned your soul cries For deep catharsis. And so I listened, listened To psalms of your discontent Those late answers leaving me vacant-- Yet , into mirrors of twilight I slowly begin to understand The worth and weight of all your own torment.

This is an extravagantly brilliant poem. In any other contest this would be 1st place. If it were not for my love of irony and humor, this would reign supreme. Congrats on 3rdish out of 38 entries. A superb performance.

My favourite parts: pen and patience bleed dry on ink; verses silenced like frozen leaves; mirrors of twilight. I'm enjoying reading your poems. J :)

"I slowly begin to understand The worth and weight of all your own torment." Forgiveness is the only way to lessen torment. When we are able to step into another's shoe, forgiving becomes easier. A beautiful entry for the contest. All the Best, dear Nette.

Nette, seems like there is torment on both sides of the equation. Forgiveness is a wonderful thing and helps people focus much more on today. It's a really good thing that we try to understand each other's motivations and desires. Smiles!
