Best Making Amends Poems


Premium Member Making Amends



He bowed with an open hand 
then offered me the most precious gift 
"the pen ! " 
and I fell for him 
in the hardest way 
as I sat there, like a fish on a hook,  
looking through a distorted fish bowl.

 
What kind of creature was this,  
that could see right through me
as if I wore no skin, ? 

" This was the kind of man that had guided my soul for many a lifetime 
this time around, he knew how to use kid gloves   
no matches, no flames,... just kindness and understanding
and a mild recognition, that we had been here before "

Making Amends

making amends
not mandatory
are you truly sorry?

Making Amends

There are still things to be done.
Places within you that I can call home.
There are depths to dig
And heights to climb,
There are still things about you that have yet to blow my mind.
There are kisses beneath the moon.
Stars to wish upon.
There is a world in your eyes that awaits for me to find.
There is still room for redemption.
We can shed our skin and never have to look at the bruises from our past.
We can sculpt our faults and singe our scars to the wind.


Making Amends With the Inner Demons

Simply calling me crazy
Would be nothing short of ignorant
And so much more than lazy
‘Cause it’s deeper than that
When my demons aren’t freely 
Beating up or running up 
A costly fee on my mind
They’ve got a special place to sleep in the back
And just when I think I’ve out-thought them
They repeatedly prove
That it was me I made a fool of 
As what I think I've fixed is shattered
And the clouds begin to gather
Making lightning bolts of pain
Followed closely by a thunder
That'll drown out even rain
And just as I begin to think 
That this storm could be a cool one
They get bored and start a hurri-
cane the way they hoola-
Hoop with my medulla
And overload my frontal lobe
Creating a reaction within
My cranium that's a
Lot like splitting a uranium atom
Feels like my brain is gaining weight
And as the load upon my shoulders
Quickly, steadily grows
Until I think my head’ll explode
And try to think of an escape
Suddenly just as fast as
It came on it passes
Like an overfed fire
That just as quickly as it catches
Burns itself into ashes
It's either burning or it's cold
No middle ground 
It's either up or it's low
I call it a calming panic
But have heard doctors call it manic
Sometimes it’s dark as any blackness
Sometimes blindingly it flashes
I’ve learned to just let it go
Don't dam the river, let it flow
And ride the wave until it crashes
Ride the line between careless 
And just barely careful enough
To not get bit by a shark
Let all the thoughts - 
The good, the bad, and the insane,
The glue as well that which rips me apart
The worst of it won't see the day
I might have to think with my head
But I still live with my heart.

Making Amends

It was a free ride down town
Full of obstructions
And multiple checkpoints
My pulchritude casts a spell
On entire human existence
As motley petals on insects
Many couldn't resist
A glimpse at me
I am a creation of the earth
I wish to exclusively 
Spell out rules for humanity
But I can't always have my way
Growing affection and inattentively, 
Let my guard down.
Nature exploited the innocent me
I felt stupid and confused 
But neither alone nor helpless
Uncertain of hopes 
For a brighter future
But it's time to make peace 
With inner self and accept reality
The chance to right all wrongs 
And anew personality
Give me time and space 
To get back to myself.
For I am a jewel in others' lives.

Making Amends

Making Amends”
Making amends
The reconciliation of old friends
When disharmony arose and the once so solid frozen ice was thin The conflict broke it and we all had fell in
Without genuine forgiveness the division is sin
Now how can we move foward and win
With added pressure weighing us down
voids from the past connected companionships that were once so amicably sound Lets demonstrate greatness
Lets communicate about our issues
Apologize then put it to rest
Lets forgive and forget
Life is to short to be at one anothers neck Its all about maturity, Loyalty and respect So lets reunite and move on to whats next
Whether we agree to disagree
In love we all got to do whats best Prevailing over the enemies test
Making amends with old friends Theres no need to say anything else Make Amends
