Best Contrition Poems

Were time in the abundance of our youth
When days stretched out like plains to the horizon
I’d see an endless space, await the truth
Of outcomes that could come from chance arising

But now the dawn but presages the dusk
And time to pause in patience depletes
My innocence no...

Hold up the mirror and see who are
Your  inflated ego an your sports car
How dare you take it out on us
Lash out in anger an make such a fuss
Face the truth and have some couth 
Repent or the pain will not lesson
An stop this...

It is to take a second look
at that which might have been...
and know it is an art of false pretense,
that never will resolve the tragedy 
of loss, where fault is never owned,
grief is ever there, and joy
is emptied, dried and blown away.

There is no secret...

There's no remorse for what I may have done
It's been a long day, let's just call it one
Just as well as we both know
There no place we can go
Take a deep breathe, come here let me hold you close...

The Pope said he's sorry they lost
Some children who would not be bossed
Since those who refused
Were raped and abused 
But the Pope had his fingers crossed...

and rise in

They stripped us both bare - drove nails deep into our flesh - made me hold Him there

Laden too much with the hand-me-down traditions
I sought to make my burden light
Using some mechanics of mind and convention
To sift the darkness from the light.

I found nothing there in that void of knowing what I
Could not believe, except shadows
Of my will lurking everywhere, I answering...

Act Of Contrition

What can i do
when the night
comes ..
I break into tears
and
wait for the
time ..
when
things fall
back into place
I contrite..

Is who i am
In this life
Blessed unto me
To confess my
Mistakes
and
Tribulations.

I have lied
and
Told truth.
I was nervous
and
Confident too
I have deceived
and
And assisted.

I have cursed
and was cold
and
Prayed
and became warm.
I have loved
and
Hated.

I...

Regret,
a bitter
ache to bear . . .

once starlight
languished
in your hair . . .

a shining there
as brief
as rare.

Regret . . .
a pain
I chose to bear . . .

unleash
the torrent
of your hair . . .

and show me
once again?
how rare.

Transparent

Silver shiver of sanctity 
find my flesh, wanting to burrow inside
Knowing I am not worthy to walk
the clouds they offer, I turn my eyes away,
pretend not to see

How can I cozen good and worthy angels?
To place my sins upon a platter?

Sin-eater, who takes my sins...
