Best Unforgivable Poems
A few days before Thanksgiving,
My sister was not among the living.
Time to celebrate and be giving
Without her, was emotional missing.
Day of giving thanks and blessings
With strong friends and family bonding
Instead mourning and weeping
When our hearts were breaking.
I stare, unable to utter a sound, bagging
To wake up from this nightmare; hiding
The pain, but I can't stop shuddering.
How does one deal with the death of a sibling?
My unforgivable sin of my grief;
If only I knew that our time would be brief.
I would say I love you with lots of hugging.

When I’m with u a million words come to mind
thoughts of how you’re so sweet and sublime
and how It would be a crime if you were never mine
Even when my mind goes astray
My eyes spot u right away
your mere presence
brings me immense joy
Fore your beauty seized me
and your charm captivated
Loving you is my addiction
I just cant get enough

Forgiving The Unforgivable.
I held my peace and sung a song,
that echoed through the righteous hall,
my right, my truth, all put to wrong!
As judgment fine had met the pall.
How can there be a better way,
to tell the world of foul play,
than those, your words, that captivate,
and that, my looks, you separate;
your lies, your tricks, my punishment!
In years to come a sure lament;
but life shall only last its days,
until the sun these men does gaze;
then deeds shall bind our spirits such,
would implore it the heaven's touch,
so again shall meet face to face,
when shattered is the time and space,
there I shall pardon and forgive,
as not in this dimension live,
and from this burden be relieved,
that had a trusting friend deceived,
and yes, I have just this to say,
that friends and foes alike decay,
but on that day, you I shall see,
as an error of mortality.
I hold my peace and sing this song,
That echoes through the righteous hall,
My right, my truth, all put to wrong!
as judgment fine has met the pall.

Ballad
This world for some is so tough,
We keep spending money on useless stuff,
When there's kids out there dying,
Crying in poverty in need of surviving.
We keep buying to impress,
Trying to look good in that new dress,
But a woman far away is really in need,
She's had no new clothes since 1993.
Her clothes are dirty tattered rags,
When you're there buying new bags,
Think of her in the ripped clothes,
Don't tell me you know the pain she knows.
It's cold she has no place to stay,
When you're planning your next holiday away,
Go somewhere beautiful and warm,
When she's wishing she could find a home for her baby who's about to be born.
She's scared she has nothing to eat,
When you're planning your next meal to defeat,
She scrapes through bins to find a crumb,
And the whole time your pretending to be numb.
Ignoring the reality in the world we live in,
To me that is an unforgivable sin.
Its unforgivable to me, ignoring the reality,
Its unforgivable to me, ignoring brutality
Its unforgivable to me, ignoring morality.
Its unforgivable to me, as its just plain irrationality.
Why aren't we helping other fight illness and disease,
Well were hoping to fit into a smaller pair of jeans.
Why don't we try and educate them, find out their needs,
Instead were too busy checking our news feeds.
Why don't we help them generate some income,
Instead were too busy trying to bag our next lump sum.
Why don't we help countries reach their development potential,
Instead were outside buying more non essentials. (LIKE TAMPONS HAHA)
Why don't we see this illnesses and disease,
imposes high cost burdens on these families,
If we help them generate some money,
It will help higher their life expectancy.

You lied right to my face, you lied to my back. You stole in front of me, you stole to my back. You knew you were entitled to nothing, I freely gave you so much. Many were my family treasures, treasures I had longed for. At the end on the phone you said, I have taken it all. Little did you know, I had planned on selling many things off. Then splitting the money with you, now you have much to sell or keep. Many have said this is unforgivable, I "forgive" and let God handle this. Too bad you let greed get the best of you, you have broken our family tie.

Unforgivable
There was nothing I could do
Except swallow the guilty mouthful
Taken from their bowl of rice
And chew upon the gristle
Of my add hot water pot noodle
Couldn’t stop the ice clinking
In the glass of my extra chilled white wine
Couldn’t stop me eating
In my clinging to my life
No I couldn’t stop their hunger
Or wipe away their tears
As they picked and ate the peeling paint
From the sides of oil drums
No way to stop the sun
From drying to brittle leaves
No way to halt the madness
Of other peoples greed
Nothing I could do but quench my thirst
And dine with the ugly flies
Clinging around the brown babies eyes
Nothing I could do
But feel my muscles work
Feel the nourishment of bone
While they live as human skeletons
All I could do was sit there
And apologise for the world
All I could do was sit there
And respectfully eat my meal
Adding too much salt so it mingled with my tears
Adding too much mustard
So the food went burning down my throat
I could do nothing else
Except apologise for myself
Sorry for being born in my wealthy world
Sorry for my country
For not rushing to your need
Sorry for my government
My vote helped to bring them in
Sorry for the United Nations
Who’s squabbling leaves you starving
Sorry they did not stop the war
That turned you into refugees
And all the weeping mothers
Their desperation in their eyes
Their children no more than rag dolls
Limply hanging from their arms
Their little bloated bodies
Going to join the others
On the lime dusted piles
All I could do was sit there
And apologise for the world
All I could do was sit there
And say sorry for myself
Sorry for being born in my wealthy world
Each and every mouthful
Was swallowed with a choke
But all I could do was sit there
And respectfully eat my meal

You broke my heart, crushing it with your lies
until it couldn't bear the weight of one more.
And I lost sight of the love in your eyes,
obscured by shadows that weren't there before.
Hope never wanted to believe the truth,
as long as there was a chance, Doubt was wrong.
And I kept blaming the jitters of youth,
feeling confident our bond was still strong.
Warned that I was being played for a fool,
I wasn't quite ready to abandon trust.
For I didn't believe you'd be so cruel,
as to exploit love, to satisfy lust.
When lies poison what makes life livable,
it's beyond wrong; it's unforgivable.

Whoever said two wrongs don't make a right,
Has never truly said goodbye.
To cut all ties let hope reside.
Tell the truth -
There's no longer need to lie.
Crash and burn,
I pray death comes slow.
And in the end I hope your alone.
No one there to hear your last moan.
And I hope,
you wonder
What if.
As
you die -
Alone.

HIS UNFORGIVABLE SIN
“unforgivable”
she said, when he broke his vows,
then he arched his back.
she was repelled by his act.
a lover’s smile kissed his lips.
“unbelievable”
she spoke, as she grabbed an ax
and approached the bed.
two cockroaches leapt from sheets,
rustling into the darkness.
“unforgivable”
she laughs, “you’re not welcome back”
nudists race down road,
their shame uncovered by dawn.
they’re grateful to see the light.
“unbelievable”
she recounts to the jury
“i’ll take my divorce
and all of his assets too.
i need to reset my eyes”
~ unsustainable ~
her marriage to this leacher.
her bucket poured out,
this saltwater fish thrown back.
she’d waste no more tears on him.
~ unbelievable ~
heaven sent a faithful man
stitched her broken heart.
first, quilted kisses hurt, but
his blanket of love protects.
~ unforgivable ~
a word not heard in her home.
she trusts her husband.
the sun shines on her children.
God’s blessed her with forbearance.

She pants in low moans,
Meandering through dense brush,
Shrouded by evening sky above a forest.
With damp and matted fur,
An amber-eyed predator sees no prey;
Her hunger grows.
While creatures huddle with their clans
In feathered nests and sheltered lairs,
She treks on frozen leaves, confused.
Longing for the comfort lost,
She doesn’t understand her plight;
Life had once been kind.
As dawn dismisses the sandman,
A cry I hear outside,
Weak sobs of desperation.
A child lost? A babe who strayed?
Anxiously I don my coat,
Fearing what I might find.
On this late December morn’
Listlessly she scratches and sobs,
Behind a glass door kissed by frost.
But when I turn the knob
And push the door open,
Her tragedy pinches my heart.
Dry blood encrusts her tender paws,
Infection has sealed one eye shut.
Her ribs protrude and her ears are frostbitten.
With haste, I take her in my arms.
Cradling this wayward soul,
I reach for a blanket and a tin of salmon.
A faint purr is my thanks
For warmth and food and love.
Peering into her one good eye, I weep.
Overcome with pity and grief,
I realize the selfish act
That led this kitten to my yard.
Before joyfully heading home,
College youths on Christmas recess
Had left her on a nearby road.
I welcome their tiny “pet,”
Abandoned, nearly dead,
Victim of thoughtlessness.
Fear not; the one-eyed cat will live.
A refuge I’ll provide.
But do not ask me to forgive
The sin that made her mine.

For almost two years you’ve been out of my life
Your mercenary actions caused me heartache and strife
I’ve worked so hard for everything around me
Yet the house where you live you got for free
I held five part-time jobs so I could pay my own way
Yet in thirty years you’ve not worked one single day
You cheat and you lie with such accuracy
All you ever think about is ME ME ME
Well honey I’ve just got one thing to say
If you arrived at my door I’d turn you away
I NEVER ever want to set eyes on you again
Your behaviour makes me think you’re insane!

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven. -- Luke 6:37

I crossed the line
I spilled the wine
The rest of my life, I am unforgivable
In crowds, in families, in my own chapel
I am here to be shunned
There is no victory to be won
Yet everday I still prepare a bowl of fruit
Hoping to once again rethread my suit
Come and break bread with me
Remove the spear that is there but you cannot see
I am a man in desperate need of a hug
Look below, we stand on the same stained rug

Day of prayers and thanks, my sister died,
left alone you tried hard to save her life.
I fell on my knees losing hope and cried;
you let go of your anger on your wife.
I stare, unable to utter a sound,
hiding the pain, trying not to break down.
Shuddering with horror my hands are bound.
Inside I am drowning wearing a frown.
He steps in my life and shows some kindness,
blissful pleasure like flowers adoring.
The sincere love he shows is my weakness.
Surrendering my life is worth living.
I know my sin is unforgivable.
Your silence and glares unforgettable.

UNFORGIVABLE
Hey Joseph May my dear Souper and poet,
I’d pressed the send button before I saw it.
Three special friends I left out,
Please believe me Caren, Regina without any doubt,
Just an absentminded, dreamy poet, you must know it.

Limerick
†††††††††THE UNFORGIVABLE VOYAGE††††††††
Tears trickled through my face
As our vessel threshed the deep.
Seagulls flapped their wings on
The beach as I watched them
Disappear before my sight.
I wished to belong to their
Colony if that meant staying back.
The shores of a place once to me
Known as home was about in a
Day to be forever foreign.
I followed the winds and stole
Stares of the sunset skies.
Salt water was unforgiving
As I retched in retribution.
Surrounded by aqua, the smell
Of sea never went down with me.
The sea spread out before me and
Seemed unending in its vastness.
We could have been on the sea
Forever as darkness prevailed,
Thickening the clouds above.
I looked up to find the stars and
Moonlight missing, as thunderclaps
And lightning bolts streaked across
The nautical skies.
The twin waves weaved its way,
Riding our vessel up and down.
The boatswain seemed bewildered,
Backing orders at the crew who
Scurried about with buckets to
Scoop water which had seeped
Its way inside.
All a little me could imagine was
Poseidon holding on to his trident
And commanding the forces of the
Sea to rock our ship to a frenzy.
The turbulence was brutal and
Unforgiving, anger in the form of water
Slapped hard on our faces, almost
Leaving us blind.
Salt water ragged my breathing
And when all else seemed to have
Failed, the storm slept still, leaving
Us with mixed feeling of joy and
Trepidation of drowning.
To save us from this newest menace,
My fragile hands found a bucket just
About my size as I joined to scoop
Out water. Suddenly, the sails stopped
Sailing the winds as our ship was dead
In Water. The rudder stopped almost
Immediately, skyrocketing our fears.
While we waited to regain the winds,
I dealt with my fears by filling my head
With the thought of grandma back home;
Her loving arms and my warm bed.
My heart ached all the more.
I just want this voyage to come to
And end. Let this all be a dream, I said
Silently whilst staring at reality.
