Best Atonement Poems

A branch breaks dried by the sun
withers and dies thrown on the fire
burning remains sweet pearls silver sparkling

a terrible sadness enters the window
a willow weeps pitter patter knocking
sins came to visit last night
blowing against the wind
drooping heavy darkness
putting right the wrongs 
was more than one...

free in a moment
but everyone wants it
a single second
oh so pleasant

now its gone
life rages on
here's the war
join the corps

there's the pain
that keeps us sane
the toll of death
taking every last breath

the innocence of youth
the freest of any moment
leaving now just the truth
maturity is your atonement...

Atonement of those words that left from your mouth,
Which broke my heart beyond any bound.
Those gut-wrenching actions that I have seen from your eyes,
Are more painful than your lies.
That love you claimed was never mine,
For you, I have always been a rotten wine,
Sour and sharp,...

She watched the towers fall to earth that pristine, young fall morn.
She saw the skies so clear and blue and then the clear was gone.
As horror filled her inner soul; her heart and mind were lead.
The towers crumbled one by one . . and everyone...

Face to the sky,
Breath of the Caribbean
Woven with earthy Autumn,
Saturates the alveoli of my lungs,
Pouring raw impulses into the neurons of
My pleasure centers, so triggering a myriad of
Memories ... the demurring requiem to summer tide ...
The worries and joys of back-to-school preoccupations ...
Hours spent raking...

Sage Vishwamitra 
deeper in penance
years has passed 
never opened his eyes 
sparkling like fire 
penance like unconquerable
Indra, the king of gods,
horrified overwhelmed 
steep spiritual rise of
tapasya would make 
sage very powerful 
even conquer heaven
anxious Indra sent Menaka, 
a beautiful dancer of his court, 
to earth...

How we loved the same
Foods, had the same dreams,
Wanted the same future, longed for the
Same life together, loved the same movies
And songs and books and colors and clothes
And people. How we knew what the other was thinking
Without a word being spoken, how I no longer...

He sent down the stones
So long, long ago
With hopes we would see
And follow the road
The rules He had set
Were etched on the face
Of the stones He had sent
With hopes to replace
The evil
That lurked
Within us all

And so He said, take heed
In actions and all that is...

My Dear World,
I owe you an apology;

Forgive me
for I have distorted thee:
lying passionately,
I failed to accept you
by chimera deceptional
I wanted to surmount you
believing myself
to be exceptional.

Forgive me My World
my bitterness,
narcissism
and selfishness;
for a fool I was
since the truth 
was consciously unknown to me
thus calamitious the discovery...

Youngest of all she went unnoticed.
 So beautifully cultured but shy a motive.

  So talented, so loved;
   And above her the beaut world evolved.

     To Cecilia and Robbie 'twas their spring.
       But...

Sunblood splashed on celestial canvas
Daytime answers drain away
Into the throes of unknown night
To penetrate her hope with pinion's teeth
Her lissome pride humbled by
His honor laid at her feet

Her lips too quick to besmirch
His offering of sacrifice
Her sojourn beneath the arch
Of firmament's eternity
Under a thousand eyes,
A...

Whispers fall in the vacuum of thoughts
As the leaves slowly fall to their demise
Hibernal hearts frozen within their knots
The winds of change cascading in their cries

Temperate seasons bring the equinox
My solstice soul sheds liquescent layers
Deciduous trees cover ravaged rocks
The monolithic moon absorbing prayers

Sequential storms strumming...

Whatever the offerings of time may bring
Whatever song my heart chooses to sing
On life’s small pursuit I shall meditate
Elysian splendor around me, I appreciate
The simplicities of pastoral living unfurl
I’m graced in your stellar light, a cosmic pearl
Serene contemplation, moments well spent
A transcend of intellect, I...
