Put the sandal of humility
Admit humanity at least now !
Don't judge others so severely
Everyone deserves another try

Her heart loves me but her mind hates me,
Forgive me before its too late,
So many promises broken,
My sorrow, it is yours,
And I am sorry,
I ran away,
I would die,
For you,
Love

Buried reflection,
pits of regret
Reasons to wander,
darkness forgets
Images rising,
blessed by the sun
Timeless reversal

Having love is foreign
If there’s no forgiveness
True love is for always
There’s no doubts or time outs

There's no love with a hard heart
There's no forgiveness
Without acknowledgment
So confess out of your soft mind and heart

Passing each other
on the cusp of goodbye
A prayer of forgiveness,
a desperate last sigh
Feeling the emptiness,
hearts gone to stone
Lost in the memory
—of love we had known

I do not know?

Forgiveness to others.
Rejoice with loved ones.
Envolve yourself with your children.
Enjoy every moment.
Don't take yourself too seriously.
One is better then none.
My mother taught me this.

Building
tension from a
niggling tickle inside
my desirous heart when you stroll
through the depths of my haunted memories
in what had been then, or could be,
as I seek forgiveness,
tension slowly
building.

Rhyme

Truth is a title,
reason is a slave
Love is a mistress
forgiveness, bed unmade
The past for excuses
the future willed in vain
Memory still the master
—of what goes round again

Epigram
|
For those who risk,
all honor and all glory,
but for those who don't risk
only the existential void...
Repentance is a remarkable feat,
makes forgiveness possible...
But for those who insist on mistakes,
all shame and reproach...

My lady
My ladies, younger
One and two
Can't be taken for granted
Their powerful love
Coloured with forgiveness
Again, I thank my Savior
Jesus, the reassuring joy in my soul
Come death or birth - days
Amen. Shalom shalom friends

Narrative

Imagine no hope, only pain, and despair,
Imagine a world, where nobody cares,
Imagine no feelings, only cold hearts, and lies,
Imagine love, that only money can buy,
Imagine no Christ, no forgiveness, or Faith,
Imagine this world......I can't.

In the shoals of the lake
a deeper truth was buried
It waded ashore
when your memory was parched
Irrigating a message
long ago forgotten
Returning your forgiveness
—washed free of blame

country church memories stay
sun lined faces callused hands
heads bow in prayer the choir stands
Sunday.......... the world away
humble prayer forgiveness day
six days of work a day of rest
a time missing I attest
Sunday.......... a world away

Forgive me
my Lord for wrongly thinking
that
every hardship and tribulation You put me through
was my condemnation
when
your aim, I clearly now see, was
my soul's salvation!

I
God still reigns
What pains?
Count it gain
I won't complain
Jesus took ALL
I stand tall
II
Yes, people plot
What (have) they got?
Love, try forgiveness
Oft a long process
But no other way
Wars cannot stay
They start in hearts
Stop shooting (eye) darts

Personification
|
How time doth flow,
Like grains of sand,
From the bony fingers,
Of death’s cold hand.
A blood stained scythe,
His weapon of choice,
A broken hourglass,
His haunting voice.
His cold blade hacking,
Piercing skin and bone,
No time for forgiveness,
No time to atone.

Free verse
|
forgiveness,
gone with the wind
there is only loneliness
a handwritten note on the table, a blood-red tear
a child,
a burial shroud on the table, a blood-red body
the pain of a mother who lost her child
the evil of mankind left its mark once again
when will we ever change?

The Real Wars We Fight
By George W. Clever-----29 August 2020
The wars we all fight are mainly in our head, heart and soul.
This old Marine fights with the memories of the young Marine.
His heart bears the pain of mistakes made.
His soul begs for forgiveness.
That is his real war service.
