Jack Clark Poet Rhyme

Wounds

A kiss, softer than a shadow,
Is all we dare desire
As intimate involvement filled
With all of passions’ fire

More might crush those feelings
We need to keep us sane
Or like a moth, be consumed
In the heat of Passions’ Flame.

To those who inflicted wounds
Now in healing states
Know that somewhere up ahead
A crushing fate awaits.

The one we need is out there
But fearful are we still
To drop our guard, reveal ourselves
No, there’ll be no trust until …

Our confidence of who we are
And believe: The best will be …
When we get past the Hurt
Inflicted recently

Only then, when scars are healed
When self-confidence resumes
Can we again enjoy
Passion’s grand perfumes.

    Remember …
Forgiveness is the perfume a flower leaves on the shoe that crushed it.

Robert Nehls July 26, 2014 at 4:04 PM That is a great poem, Jack. That last line is very powerful. Forgiveness can move the hardest of hearts without that heart even realizing it is happening. forgiveness is one of the greatest forms of love. Very well written, my friend.... Robert. Jack Clark July 26, 2014 at 4:54 PM Thank you, Robert. Forgiveness, for some, is an extremely difficult effort, in fact it can be impossible. But ... without it the "damaged" party becomes even more so, and sadly, that excessive, self-inflicted damage may be come permanent. I'm pleased you enjoyed this one, Robert. Jack C
